The other forum mentioned a bunch of people having this issue in columbus. We had the problem in DFW at the end of August and early September with the local NBC 5 OTA on the 942. Would reboot every 2-3 minutes, if not faster. It got fixed just before the NFL season started (i.e. something...

The Sunday ticket has up to 3 CBS HD games and up to 6 FOX HD games a week on Sundays. I say 'up to' because 1) whatever games are showing in your local market are blacked out on Sunday ticket and 2) Fox can vary from 4-6 HD produced games a week (seems like it always a game or 2 less in...

After getting lots of reboots last weekend, I survived through the NFL game on Thursday without any reboots. I was quite surprised. KXAS has been a problem child before (trick play used to not work at all with KXAS on my old 921 about 18 months ago).

I had this problem at the end of May / beginning of June on my 501. I was convinced at the time it was related to the moving of the DFW locals to SpotBeam... as it happened at the same time. That or related to the P308 software. Ended up replacing the DP+ Twin LNB and it finally started...

Its a matter of logistics... During the College Football season, FOX is using its HD resources to do as many NFL games a week that it can. By the time the BCS comes around, its the end of the Football season so there is less of a burden for those HD resources, so they can cover the BCS...

Pretty much every HD channel launched since Feb. 1st has been using MPEG4. So, that's nearly all the LIL-HD markets (save LA and NY I believe), ESPN2-HD, Universal HD, HGTV HD, National Geographic HD, NFL HD, Starz HD, 5 additional Voom HD channels (the original 10 launched are still MPEG2)...

I'd ask the same question. my 501 has been having problems ever since WFAA moved to spot beam last wednesday (May 17th). I have a 4p-5p Oprah daily timer that continually gets 'channel not found' error during the recording and ends up recording about half the show. Power button reboot will...

The DFW HD locals have recently been uploaded to a Echo X spot beam. unknown of when they will be activated.

Does your TV1 remove have a removable key? If so, you can change the key to use a TV2 remote key... and make sure the satellite address is programed to the same as your other TV2 remote... and off you go.

If I remember correctly, HDNet didn't announce their Mavs Playoff HD schedule last year (2005) until just before Game 2 of the first round series.... it was just announced that UPN 21 will have all the non-national playoff games, so that is a bonus that any of those games might be done by HDNet...

The O&O Fox Sports Channels do sporadic HD, they have for a couple of years. Mostly, you will find these games on the "INHD 1/2" cousins found on the cable networks or less likely in the 95-99 Special Events channels on DirecTv. Even more rare will you find them in a Dish Network sports...

I saw someone post a similar issue in a Verizon FIOS thread. a tech mentioned that you need make sure that all of your Coax connections are snug and have good fittings on them to not let any signal interference into the stream with your OTA antenna.... Sounds good to me (I'm no electrical...

Do note that this process does NOT work with a 6.0 or 8.0 remote... as I've tried with both. Seems only the 6.2 (and I guess the 6.3) can be programmed on the AUX button to control a second satellite receiver.

My 942 has this feature... haven't tried it out yet, but a nice feature indeed.

Big Ole Fat Ditto!!!
