Ok. Found the problem. Someone unplugged my Slingbox. It still passed video but not audio. Lesson learned. Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone, The sound died on my DSR505. I've double-checked the connections, settings on both my TV and STB. Reset a half dozen times, to no avail. Great video, though. Any suggestions? I'm afraid I may have to replace it. Thanks!

Frenchophile pretty much sums it up. Occasionally, such as July 14 and Festival de la Musique (June), RFO will show live feeds. The news is time-delayed to coincide with SPM's time zone. As for the other French Canadian stations, I've only seen Canal Evasion show live Tour de France.

Time is On My Side - Rolling Stones

I'm in Whitmore Lk/Pinckney area and a tech told me that in my area they filter the HD but in other areas, it's free. However, a subsequent channel scan detected them all and I have the HD locals, plus 5 or so PBS stations in HD. Go figure.

And I thought the striping issue was because my cables may have loosened.

I haven't dabbled in FTA...yet. While I have no opinion of either receiver, I'm leaning toward the Visionsat IV 200 and its PVR capabilities.

My guide arrived on my 505 on Tuesday. The only feature I really wanted was the "Not Subscribed", like I had when I had E* and Evu. While I don't really need the other features as mentioned, I would have liked the search feature. Is the Channel mosaic in the mix, too? If so, how does one...

Greetings, I'm having issues with my high speed internet. About 2-3 times a month, my cable modem loses its signal which, in turn, disables my internet and Vonage. I then have to fiddle [insert your own f-word] with it until I get a signal. I've read on these forums that it's the quality...

FWIW, I have a Sony remote (RM-YD003) that I've used on maybe 5 occasions. I gave up a long time ago trying to get it to work with my DSR505. My SC remote is a URC-547. It does everything I need it to do with my TV & VCR, too.

I'd love one!

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année !

I was a BEV customer before SC. I switched to SC to be able to have 2 receivers. The difference in French channels is negligeable. Most French channels are on both. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of French-language material. I went with the "Parfait Bilingue" pkg. It allows me to view my...

I have Starchoice (Canadian Sat) with different equipment and experienced the same problem. However, when I reentered the channel, the picture returned to normal. I thought it was my receiver.
