    Replacing old 510 qpsk

    I hear the 510 and similar qpsk are fading fast and mine is 8 years old and grumpy. I need a replacement but it is very very hard to change the single feed from my legacy twin dish setup ( 100+ feet and underground and unpullable.) So I need an 8psk receiver, SD which can run on a single feed...

    qpsk and 8psk

    I am planning to do a minimum upgrade from my old 510 to a 512. Questions 1) Is there any difference in performance or gui? 2) Can the 512 run with a single antenna feed like the 510 ( if you don't need dual tuners) I'm hoping it will be a plug and play changeover!

    SD Resolution?

    SD picture quality Thanks for the replies/ Sorry, I haven't been by here for a while. I am using an old fashioned 27 inch CRT type Sharp TV. It is set up and adjusted nicely and capable of a very sharp picture ( no pun).with natural looking color balance and good blacks. S video connection to...

    SD Resolution?

    Anyone know what SD resolution we actually get , in dpi ?. I have to say the picture somewhat sucks, on close inspection. Probably compressed to death.

    dual legacy or DP lnbfs half good?

    Do dual lnbfs deliver half signal strength to each receiver as the available signal is shared between two outputs? It seems common sense that this would be true.

    2 separate dishes & dual tuner

    My installation has two separate dishes pointed at 119,110. It has been up forever and works great. I now have to change to a dual tuner rx, because thats all there is. Anyone know how to hook up the dishes to the dual tuner using DP lnbfs, DPP33 switch and separator, or maybe the two DP...

    New L4.09 for 501/8/10 SW ?

    Has anyone installed latest (4.09) on a 501 /08/10 ? I'm hesitating because I don't know what or why it is, and whether it is buggy. Right now my 510 is working fairly well.

    Keep getting the black screen, and its getting old!

    My 510 does this since software version 3.36. Then two months ago, 3.69 made it a lot worse. Sometimes does it three times in an evening. Black screen with program banners at the top- silence. I hear they're working on it I'm waiting it out because it seems a replacement receiver will get the...

    Software Updates?

    My 510 experience has been the same, but worse. For a long time it was crashing from time to time, but not every day. So they replace 3.68 with 3.69, so now it crashes a couple of times every nite, and recordings come in little segments of 3 to 15 minutes, with 5 minute gaps between for the...

    DVR510 recordings disappear.

    Further to my last I stayed at a friends recently with a DTV dual tuner rx. It appeard rock solid and bug free, so maybe there's the answer.

    DVR510 recordings disappear.

    Regarding any possible new version for 508/10, my particular receiver after 3.69, will only stay up for a few hours without a manual reset, although sometimes it resets itself. As a result it always loses it at night in standby and is found next day spinning away madly and showing black or...

    501/508 software update????

    I'm trying to keep my 510 alve as much of the time as possible ( it often crashes while in standby) so if they get to replace 369 I will receive it. What is field 'b' on sys info? I see it change from 0 to 1 sometimes

    a problem has been detected with your switch..

    I had his one time on my 510, with no switches, one rx, one satellite very simple.. I rebooted and it didn't go away. I then messed around changing the lnb and checking cables etc in panic mode. It persisted but then after 2 or 3 checkswitch goes round it cleared . So Im not sure what really...

    501/508 software update????

    My 510 hates 3.69 worse than the two previous versions. And they tell me the same software issues will likely have to be worked through on the other models, so not a good time to upgrade. Does this mean, at this late stage , I will have to get a life?
