    Trying to add 5th Receiver

    I went through the same experience. The problem is the you need the right two lines from the quad, not just any two lines. The quad when connected to the DP34 does not transmit 119 and 110 down each feed. When connected to the switch it only transmits 119 down one feed and 110 down another...

    61.5 Install/Replaced DP QUAD with DP TWIN

    Well, I just had my 61.5 installed for the Voom channels. The installer removed the Dishpro Quad I had for 110/119 and replaced it with a Dishpro Twin and used a Dish 500 with a Dishpro Dual for 61.5. He also added a DP 34 switch. The system works fine, but I do have a question. Why was the...

    SW64 & DTV LNBs

    The answer is that the Direct Tv LNB's are compatible with LEGACY Dish network switches. THe Dish Pro LNB's use something called stacking, I think, and are not compatible with the LEGACY LNBS. Also you can use the power inserter, because the SW64 won't work without it. The SW64 is a legacy...

    811 Setups Tips For Voomers

    Many of us long time E* subs noticed that on the 811, the DVI connection outputs a washed out picture. Use the component out and you will notice a very good picture. This problem with the 811 relates back to when E* was adjusting the black levels. They never got the DVI right. The DVI...

    Reached my limit with 921

    Well, its not only the box, its the whole Dish Network package. When I first got Dish in early 97, I was so excited. There were so many channels, and the quality was nearly DVD. Each month, I looked forward to the Charlie Chat because new channels were being announced (not locals or foreign...

    921 Bug - Screen Format

    This is a known--and frustrating bug. L212 was supposed to cure this problem. Oh well.

    So Frustrated With 921/L212 and "Advanced Tech"

    The problems with the 921 continue unabated and are now worse. After taking the latest software, the 921 timers do not work. When the timer fires, an error message comes up stating something like--channel blacked out, unauthorized, or gone." Further, on the OTA channels, if the 921...

    Activated a 921 today=No partial zoom?

    There is no partial zoom on the 921. If they told you it was a software "problem" they were wrong. Of course, they could program they software to do it, but they have not.

    Does HDMI always mean HDCP Compliant?

    If a TV has an HDMI port, does that mean it is necessarily HDMI compliant?

    811: When sent on 1081, tv reads 520p

    Yes. The 540p looks blurrier than 720p. The 1080i through the component blows both 540p and 720p away in my opinion. And, I guess i'm still a little confused about why the tv can display 1080i through component but not DVI. Thanks.

    Thanks, but why can't the tc display 1080i with the DVI connection?

    811: When sent on 1081, tv reads 520p

    811: When sent on 1080i, tv reads 520p I have a Sharp LCD TV. When I use component outputs with the 811 set on 1080i, the TV receives 1080i. When I switch to DVI, the tv reads 520p. When I switch the 811 to 720p, through the DVI the tv will read 720p. Is this the 811 or the tv? Thoughts?

    Bring Back The 921 Forum!

    I disagree, we need a 921 forum. The reason we don't need a combined forum, for example, is the 501, 508, 510, all rock solid, nothing to talk about there.

    921 Noise Level

    I recently R.A'd my 921 due to the noise level. The replacement 921 is noticably quieter, and tolerable. However, it is not as quiet as my 501, which is almost silent. I also R.A.'d my original 501 because of the noise level. It seems that the remanufactured receivers are quieter. Perhaps...

    Thanks Scott. The 921 may be dead, but so many of us just purchased one when the price went down, so it's new to us. There's so much more Dish could be doing with the 921, including internet, etc. Are the members here just giving up on it?

    921 fan is running 24/7

    That is normal, but it should not be. Other Dish PVR's shut down when not in use. Perhaps a software upgrade will add fan shut down. Also, the 921 is noisy. I purchased one in November, and the noise has been very annoying. Yesterday, I received a replacement 921, and the noise level is...
