Satellite Newbie wants Glorystar

[DarrenS]

You can use any VCR, DVD recorder or TIVO to record the output of the standard receiver. I have seen codes on the internet for TIVO control of the Mercury II, but do not have that information available. Maybe available through a TIVO user group?

We only have a small number of the DVR1000ci units remaining and they have been removed from the website. The remaining DVR100ci units will be used for special orders and warranty replacement.

The new DVR1100c will be posted on the website in a few weeks as soon as the item is off the production line and delivery date is confirmed.

Thank you for your interest in Glorystar Christian Satellite Systems!

What about a Dish DVR will that also record from the mercury 2 ??

[Iceberg]

no. The only thing that can record to the Dish DVR is Dish channels and (depending on model) OTA channels

As a DirecTivo user and the brother of a Standard Tivo user, the only concern I would have in trying to use the Tivo is that it depends upon a program guide to do it's recording. Without guide data, manual recording is the only option to record anything except the Live TV that is being recorded as you watch it so you can pause it.

Does Glorystar provide a program guide? If so, then everything above is moot!

glen4cindy, cant really answer your question as I cancelled my monthly tivo subscription some time ago and just use the manual recording. It works for us. Thats why I asked about Glorystar working with TIVO.

Thought I would stop back in and see what was new with Glorystar. I see a couple new channels were added since I was here last. I have to echo the question of someone elses post I read, it would be nice to see an updated list of the channels I could really expect to get when I order it soon. Spring is finally here... although we got a snow storm today and I am still itching to order Glorystar.

Oh hey, that reminds me. I just recently found out I had another MUCH better broadband internet option here versus Hughes satellite so I now have this pole in my back yard that I am wondering if it will also work to install our Glorystar dish on?? (After we take the Hughes dish down of course!) Gosh that would be so awesome!

What diameter is your "Hughes dish" pole?

Hi Bob,
the diameter is 2 1/2" Will that work?

Thanks!

You will need to adapt the pole down to 1 5/8 inches. You can do that with a an adapter such as this one from SatelliteAV:
