What was the problem with Spaceway 1 yesterday?

I live in DMA 116, my service address is in DMA 14, the two are 60 miles apart. If the new box is mailed to me I hope to convince D* to send it to my work address, this worked for a new 3 LNB dish when I was with Pegasus, the installer for the new dish called me and I explained the situation...

I was afraid of the new mount thing. I just hope the new dish and mount isn't as big as the E* Superdish, but if it is it is. I hope the new dish can still go on the chimney. Do you know if it's just a replacement of the mast for the dish? Any details on what the new mount is like? I see...

Any idea how the new dish is mounted? With any luck it will just be a matter of taking off the old one and installing the new one on the existing mount. Mine is on a chimney which requires getting on the roof, if the HMC comes out at the end of 2005 beginning of 2006 I'll have to wait until...

Is it going to be Motorola's Moxi made for D*? Only the DVR UI would be from NDS? Not the Moxi UI? Was looking at Motorola's website and the Moxi HMC looks pretty cool and the UI seems nice judging from the demos.

Something that I'd like to see on the new DVR is the ability to add an external HD for more recording capcity. I was reading about Scientific Atlanta's 8300 DVR, it has an SATA connector and over at the AVS forum many users are building their own external drive and it works well. That would be...

I joined D* in 1996, my first season of NFLST cost me $99.00, for every game, no blackouts! Every year the price of ST has crept up and up and up, but I paid anyway, I enjoy having it. Last year, there are the blackouts if you get the game on your locals, OK, big deal, feel like I lost some...

Any word if there will be auto native resolution?

My series 1 & HDTivo both downloaded fine this morning at 4:?? am today.
