    DSR-922 Analog Audio Over SPIDF (EC vs A4)

    A while back, I downgraded my 922 to the A4 firmware to defeat the ratings ceiling bug. Afterwards, I noticed that the audio no longer worked on analog channels (or so I thought). Last night, I was messing around with it again, and sure enough, the audio does still work on the analog channels...

    Map Master or A4 Firmware Side Effects

    I've had the A4 firmware and new maps on my 922 for around a week now. I have noticed a couple side effects. But since I did A4 firmware and the maps on the same day, it's hard to know if the side effects are a result of the maps or firmware. Side Effect #1: Analog channels no longer have...

    Cheap Jack Hammers & BUD Removal

    I already have a motorized C/Ku Bud. But now I am going to start collecting C-Band dishes from my area before they all disappear. I already have a nice 10' mesh freebee waiting for me to remove. I'll be collecting these dishes to make a farm at some point in the future. But right now, I need to...

    Converting Was So Easy

    I finally broke down this weekend and converted my 922 with the "No Brick" instructions on tvropro's website. It was much easier than I expected. I went with the Basic Digital pack. I'll probably end up switching to the Discovery Pack later (if it's still available at that time). I've been...

    Package Upgrade Question

    Last Friday, I upgraded from the AT120 to the AT120 Plus. Now, I wish to upgrade to the AT200 package so that we can watch the Bush 911 interview on NatGeo this Sunday. I know there's a $5 fee for removing a service within 30 days of when it was added. I would assume that only applies to...

    Fox College Sports

    Does Dish Network offer the Fox College Sports channel. I've looked all through the packages on their site, but can't find it. The "Good Guys" open their season on Sept. 3 on this channel, and I'd really like to see it. HD would be nice too, but I just wanna see the game. So SD would be OK too...

    New Firmware on 211K?

    Did anyone else notice a change in options on their 211k starting a couple of days ago? Mine now has some new options in the EPG setup. Also, turning Closed Captions on/off used to be Menu-8-6-1, now it's Menu-8-5-1. I haven't had much time to study for other changes, these are just the ones I...

    Question About Changing Package & FreeBees

    I currently have the AT120+ and the multisport package. I'm also getting the free year of Starz and free 30 days of Cinemax. I want to downgrade my service to the AT120 (no plus) without the multisport package. This would decrease my bill from 56.99 to 44.99. Then when NCAA football fires back...

    VIP211k - Unnecessary Timer Conflicts

    Currently, the 211k sees overlapping time-frames as a conflict. This would normally make sense, but it is also applied to back-to-back programs on the same channel, which should not be a conflict. For example... lets use Tuesday night. Three shows come on back to back to back on CBS that I want...

    Calculating 211k EHD Drive Space

    My old 500gb EHD died and I need to replace it. Currently, I'm limping along on an old 80gb hard drive that I had in "the pile". My HTPC has 4 HDDs in it. One of them is only 1tb. I was considering buying a 2tb drive to replace it, then using it (1tb) for my 211k. BUT, if the 211k would make...

    211k & Inactivity Standby

    Recently, my 211k seems to go into "Inactivity Standby" on a fairly regular basis. It's not every day... but almost that regular. I have Inactivity Standby turned off in Menu, 8, 7 (I thinks that's right), but it still appears to go into standby from time to time. Sometimes, it happens over...

    HD Channels; 4:3 --> 16:9 Stretch

    I've noticed that many programs on some Dish HD channels are 4:3 programs streched out to 16:9. This looks pretty bad... everyone is short & fat, wheels on cars are ovals, and the overall feel is just wrong. It's so bad, that I find myself watching the SD version so that I can have the correct...

    General Instrument HDD-1000 User Manual?

    I just purchased a General Instrument HDD-1000 HD decoder off fleabay. I got it cheeeeeap. I figure at less than $33 delivered, it's not much of a risk. I've read that not all HD-1000s have ASI in (some have HSI in). The best I could tell from the low-res pics, this one looks like it has ASI...

    211k Self Assembled EHD

    Have any of you had any luck using "self assembled" external hard drives on the 211k? I just purchased a 211k & want to use the EHD feature. It seems like I read somewhere that you should use "ready made" external HDDs. If it would work, I would prefer to build my own. I already have 3 other...

    VIP211K With OTA & DVR

    I'm currently subbing to Dish & using a really really old receiver (can you say 2700, lol). I don't have a commitment, and I own the receiver & dish... and want to keep it that way, lol. I've had service for a month or two now. I previously had Dish a decade ago, hence the old equipment. I'm...

    DSR-4500X

    I bought a lot of 3 Motorola DSR-4500X units off of the flea. I just got them in yesterday and began to play last night. So far, I've only hooked up 2 of them. But I've plugged in all 3 & they do all have good UIDs (# on LCD matches # on back label). I read that some these units were specially...

    DVB World PCIe 2006 Problem

    I just bought & installed a new DVB World PCIe 2006 from Sadoun. I already had a TechnoTrend S2-3200 installed in a legacy PCI port that I've been using for a year, and it works great. I've been using the TT3200 with DVB Viewer. When I installed the DVBW 2006, I left the TT3200 installed so...
