    HR20 Dual Tuner

    I just got the HR20 this weekend also and noticed you can get it to resume where you left off but but the only way i got it to work was by clicking guide and changing the station to whatever i wanted and when i went back, it resumed. I'm still learning this interface, but right off the bat...

    South Florida MPEG4 Issues

    I did do this, but it doesnt resolve the problem, nor switching to component cable, but with the native format, its so slow when switching stations to keep on, i like that but its so slow when switching lets say from 96 (1080i) to 73 (720p).

    South Florida MPEG4 Issues

    Last night when i came home I noticed that all 4 local mpeg4's were off (blank) and 96 had a message "we are working on the problem" . I called customer support and they said there was a major fiber cut along the east coast and that is why the feeds are out. Its how the mpeg4 channels are...

    South Florida MPEG4 Issues

    My install is very simple. The new dish was mounted right in the spot on wall where the old 3 lnb was. Something else to NOT get excited about tonight. First rain storm and 2 minutes before the rain started all the sats were out. I guess having bigger dish didnt matter to south fla...

    South Florida MPEG4 Issues

    I have the latest; i forced it download just to be sure. I think this is just one of the problems with mpeg4, but the codec example really explains it best.

    South Florida MPEG4 Issues

    I just got the new mpeg4 dish and there is no problems with the mpeg2 stuff but the stations 4,6,7,10 all have issues with the motion. It's not as if it's dropping frames (like the old voom boxes) but its not a fluent motion. Example: your watching the picture and the motion slows down for a...

    Unable to install new 5 LNB, what now?

    Just in case anyone is following this, here is the conclusion. The lead tek from Masteck came out to my house yesterday morning and put up the new dish. No problems, working perfectly. Except for the quality issue which I will address in a seperate post. But perfect installation.

    Unable to install new 5 LNB, what now?

    Also the same installer on Sunday said that each time it rains in south florida (every day) i will lose signal because florida is a low elevation with the new dish. Heck , i thought the new dish was going to improve this stuff. But the tech told me it was going to be much much worse now.
