Hermitman please PM me. thanks

rv1pop Yes that's what I have. Apc UPS with step aproximate sine wave. These units were made for computer backup. Computer power supplies are switching supplies very similar to the power supply in the 920 and 922. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hermitman Thank you for some really good info...

I guess no one really knows if running a ups will save the ID if the battery is dead.

This was posted in yahoo this morning. Guess they're not immune:D Come on moto! Give us a new 4DTV !!!!! by : Yahoo! Tech

No one really answered my question. Will the 922 retain it's ID with the power applied even with a dead battery?

I've worked on motorola 2-way radios most of my life. I am very aware of the way motorola does things. I agree that GI started this but they didn't need to replilcate it. That's the way most species go extinct. They have flaws and don't reproduce. So they are doomed.

Ok so I agree that the UPS is a big battery. So has it been proven that as long as the receiver is powered up the ID won't be lost, even if the lithium backup battery is dead?

sergei you just contradicted yourself. You said a UPS will not retain the ID. Then you said that as long as you keep it powered up it will retain it's ID. Well that's what a UPS does. It keeps it powered up. So which is it????????

Will a UPS actually help retain the unit ID?? Or will the unit ID still be lost when the battery fails even though powered up? Is the battery voltage reading accurate when the unit is powered on? Or should the measurement be made with power off?

Hi Do a search, there are more threads on this. There are probably more knowledgeable people here than me. The 920 began about 1998 and was discontinued about 2003. The 922 started about 2001 and I think was discontinued in 2007. I'm sure there will be some out there that will be correcting me...

Do re hits change the satellite map?

checked it around noon and the guide was gone again. Got it back on G1. wtf?

If it is true that to replace the 922 battery the board needs to be removed, then there would be no way to do it with the power on method. Is that true? What if you have the receiver on a ups and your afraid if you pull the plug disaster will result? The 7th digit on my 922 serial is "4" I...

Finally success with the 4DTV dsr920 remote getting the volume and mute working on the dsr922 :D:eek: I called Tom Sherrill at ATS. He seems very knowledgeable about these things:rolleyes: 1. He told me to press the 4DTV button until the led flashes. 2. Then press 1 0 0 the the led...

I set the dish on G1-3 last nite before bed. This morning the guide was there. I'll check it later in the day and see if it's still there.
