Thread: YES! 4DTV on W5 almost certain

This was posted at Sat forums concerning the W5 use of our 4DTV's. This reply is from Del Jose head man at Skyvision.

Thank you for contacting Skyvision. Yes - it will work with the 920
and the 922. We have successfully been able to receive the guide and
programming on both of these. We still have some bugs to work out but the
fix is there. Once we finalize all the issues, we will be sending out
emails on the details. Keep in touch. Thanks.

Del Jose

I hope Mike Kohl is on sat talk tonight and gives us the official word. Woohoo!

That makes my day.

I just extended my subs to Dec 31 the other day with Tim at SRL. I guess now I will be giving another call around Christmas.

Mine too looks like NPS DIDN'T kill the 4DTV only themselves.

Hey maybe Mike Mountford can loan Charlie Ergan a few mil so he can pay Mickey Mouse the 65 Million owed. Ha ha ha...

4DTV not dead yet ?

Perhaps they should have tipped their hand just a little faster......
Besides me, I wonder how many went over to DirecTV?
I have shut down the 922/201 and am signed up for 2 years worth of HD at Direct.
Guess I'll take another look at the state of 4DTV in a couple years.

I didn't want to do it

I got Direct too but still have subs with the 4D and they will continue much longer now. I may get movie channels on the 4D next year since even on W5 they offer more HBO & Starz than Direct does. Pizza doesn't have it all. Now I can have the best of both

I just spoke to SRL and they told me yes it is true that the 4DTV will work with W5 on the 410 data, the testing has worked. They said more details on everything will be coming in the months ahead.

So fire up the bud and enjoy your 4D once again. And don't believe anything NPS says from this point on. They have lost the war and will be trying any tricks they can to still put your big dish in the scrap pile and get you to sign with Charlie.

The real truth is told only at Satellite Guys!

Maybe Scott needs to put this as front page news

oh man, I wanted to use a 905 as a tortilla warmer.. now its worth something again hehe

Good for the 4DTV Klan here... now yall can enjoy tv once again

I wonder if this pisses off the guys over on the "other site" who have been cheering the demise of the 4Dtv since NPS started the rumors?!
