does anyone know if the 921 can be used solely for OTA HDTV viewing without a Dish Network subscription? Also, will this box still be good in a few months? I heard something about a change in HD signals or something? Thanks!

excellent, thanks!

howdy, i have a motorola 6412 and am wondering how to set the exact time of a recording. I got a recording conflict when i tried to record a two shows at 9:00 and two at 10:00 because one of the shows was scheduled in the guide to end at 10:01. Is there a way i can go in and physically set the...

strange problem with my 921 since a recent new software upgrade. Many of my timers are recording on the wrong day. For example, a recording that is set for thursday night doesn't record on thursday, but then records on friday. If I look at the guide, the little red record dot shows up on the...

oh, and thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it!

i went home and removed all locals and rescanned on my lunch break (how sad am I??) and it worked. PHEW!! I'm sure this is not the end of my problems with the 921, but hopefully me and the box can come to some kind of agreement, like you get the superbowl in HD ok and i will not b*tch about...

ugh, this is terrible. I will try rescanning (again) tonight. I hope it works. if not i guess i will have to try to talk with dishNetwork support about getting me a new unit. I bought mine from Radio Shack though, not dish. I hope I can still get a new one instead of some refurbished one and...

I have been having trouble with my 921 since I hooked up my OTA antenna this weekend. Can anyone tell me if they have noticed similar issues or if there is something I am doing wrong. First, I guess I never realized that you can only use one OTA channel at a time. If you are recording one...

in the manual for the antenna i installed on my roof itsaid i could use the same rg6 cable for the sat and ota transmissions and then use a diplexer to split the line at the tuner. I have this set up on my 921 but it seems like it may be causing problems. has anyone else experienced this? should...

yeah, i tried that to, but no luck. It even tells me it gets a signal on the actual channel, but when i hit Add nothing gets added to my channel list. I was going to try removing all my local channels and rescanning, but i'm afraid i might get none of them back. any suggestions?

hi, i have a 921 setup to receive OTA locals. initially, when i scanned for DTV channels in the local channels menu i found several stations that got put under channel 9. I had 9-1 through 9-5. Some of them were crap though and came in poorly so i removed 9-3 and 9-4. When i did that however...

HD in Oakland, CA - will this antenna work? Howdy, I just bought the Terk-TV44 outdoor clip-on antenna (link) (clips onto the top of the satellite dish) to connect to my 921 receiver and am wondering if anyone can tell me how good it is before I go to install it on my dish tomorrow...

thanks alot for all the info everyone!

are there any options that do not require a rotator? most signals in my area seem to come from 246 degrees, but the NBC station is at 141.
