This has already been added to the 9242. Any drive up to 750 GB and USB 2.0 will work. Kryspy

Hi, This feature is on the 9242 only. The 6141 is said to be geting it also. No word on 9200 availability. Expect ExpressVU.....errr.... Belltv to abandon old receivers just like Dish does. Kryspy

I already have 2 drops going to the receiver now. Anyhow, I think I am going to use the seperator at the receiver and use the other drop to back feed the 9242 to another TV in the house. Kryspy

Thanks, My reason is that I have coax joined in my drop ceiling already with high quality barrel connectors. Putting the seperator there would just mean one less connection for me and therefore possible loss in signal. Kryspy

Hi, I am upgrading my ExpressVU 9242 (722 ish) to a DPP Twin and DPP seperator. Can I place the seperator say in my drop ceiling with like 12-15 feet of coax after it or does it need to be really close to the back of the receiver with only say a foot of coax off each side? Kryspy

Satboyz, Video processors and processing technology improve from year to year. Look at video cards for PC's. I am not saying that the signals are any better. I flat out admit that Starchoice is most likely sending a superior signal at the moment. On my 9242 I notice less...

Having just come from Starchoice to ExpressVU I can tell you that the difference in HD quality is negligible if not identical. For SD it comes down to the receiver; the 505 and 530 are old tech. The 9242 and the 9200 both do an excellent job on SD. Starchoice SD quality is horrible...

I have one for sale ;) $350 with two months warranty left; refurb unit, solid. Kryspy

My take, I've owned both..... ExpressVU is getting more and more compressed as they are stretched to the max for bandwidth right now........hence the name CompressVU If you own a 1080p set then SC is a nice choice at 1080i as the TV then just de-interlaces and shows it at 1080p as...

Yeah most likely a dealer channel on a transponder all by itself to showcase ExpressVU's full HD experience.......<remove tongue from cheek> ;) Kryspy

I bought a refurb 530 for $299 and it has been very reliable. Nice thing is that you can upgrade the hard drive if you wish with any Seagate IDE drive. Some folks have a 750 GB drive in yielding 137 hours of HD content to record. The 505 is a nice unit; the R5000 mod is a possibility...

Well, I have had both; twice. When I was with ExpressVU I had the 9200 (942) and it was a really nice machine; better than the 530 in most areas. Having said this I prefer Starchoice because their service is better and HD is output in 1080i vs. ExpressVU at 720pish and I mean ish...

Starchoice will most likely offer a refurb. I have a refurb and it has been fine for 6 months now. This is common with the 530 and shouldn't be a problem as long as your broker is willing to go through the hassle for you as they will most likely want to go through a whole bunch of...

You need a replacement... flash memory has most likely had it and that is where the OS resies. Kryspy

Three options: 1) Shave 1 inch off the stand 2) Shave one inch off the TV 3) Shave 1/2 inch off of each I'd go with option 1 :) Kryspy

Just buy a DVI to HDMI cable like I did. Kryspy

You of course mean because they are all 8PSK now ;) Kryspy

hab, You can replace the hard drive but it has to be the exact same model right down to the version and revision. Here is a list of the 9200 diagnostics. The 5200 is pretty much a non-HD 9200. Memory dump, Hard drive formatting and diagnostics shortcuts This has been requested many...

"Half of 82W transponders are cold. If they will turn it on ... " Need to remember that the original Nimiq 2 suffered a power supply problem shortly after laubch abd therefore isn't capable of utilizing all of the transponders. Kryspy

"Folks who want these channels will be able to upgrade their MPEG4 receivers (which they will have to pay for)". Scott, Lucky for me I threatened to leave a couple of months back and secured a sweet deal to stay which consisted of a note on my account that I will not be charged to upgreade...

I was going to head the broker route once I get the hardware. Kryspy

I know for a fact that the purchase of Dish or Directv equipment isn't illegal in Canada. I It is only the reception that is illegal. I know it sounds absurd but it is true. They are more than happy to allow you to pay duty on the equipment....... there I said it again :) Kryspy

Customs doesn't care about equipment brought into Canada. Simply claim it and pay the duty. Kryspy

Damn. Oh well, was worth a shot. Thanks

Canadian question. Simply; can I buy a 622 from dishstore.net and have it shipped to me in Canada? Or do all receivers require to be activated before shipping? Kryspy
