Call AT&T to confirm. They are rolling the 2 HD streams out to different markets at different times. They just rolled it out to Dallas, so I pulled the trigger, Plaxico Burress style. :D

So is there anything I can do with the 921 other than do an Office Space on it [PC Load Letter :D ]?

Well that's not the answer I was hoping for! :mad: So strange since I see a lot of PVR 921s sold on ebay these days. Are all the buyers getting hosed?

I recently sold a PVR 921 to a guy and he said he was unable to activate it because it was not MPEG4 compliant. As far as I knew, I thought Dish wasn't going to MPEG4 until the end of the year and even then they were grandfathering existing HD receiver owners for a period of time. I called...

Thanks for the reply. We tried a different box which the installer had in his truck. Same result. I have been reading about problems with the HDMI card "seating," but I'm unsure it would cause this problem - seems like it should be all or nothing. Especially weird for two boxes to have the...

Scratch what I just said about my TV - it is HDCP compliant. What the heck???? Argghhh.... http://www.dlptvreview.com/pdf/hln507w.pdf

Ok, so I got my shiny (or more matte-y really) new HR10-250 installed today only to find the HDMI output doesn't seem to work with my Samsung HLN507W DLP. The HLN507W has a single non-HDCP DVI input. It's weird, the signal is fine for 7-10 seconds - perfect in fact - and then it goes black...

Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but my 921 has a strange bug. The format button works fine right after a reboot/unplug. However, after a day or so, it seems to just stop working. No matter how much I change it, it seems stuck (on stretch). I suspect that it happens after a...

Well, I'm lost on what you guys are saying, but a tech came out yesterday and got it working. Apparently the previous tech guy had put an extra splitter in the line and that was causing all the problems. Anyway, the 921 is still not bulletproof. It just crashed due to a tuner...

Thanks for all the responses, though I wish they were consistent! I have a tech coming out tomorrow to look at the setup and try to correct any problems. I am really leaning towards forcing him to run another line just to make the setup as bulletproof as possible. The fact that I couldn't...

I just upgraded to a Dish 921, but am having issues with the two tuner set up. A Dish Network tech (sub I assume) came out and upgraded the LMB and hooked it up to the machine. He used a single line from the dish to the machine, with a splitter right before the 921. The machine could not...
