We don't watch much Satellite TV anymore, so I just called to get deactivated. The support person said that I won't be able to watch anything on the DVR (VIP722 receiver) after it is deactivated. So I had them schedule the deactivation out for 1 week. Is it true that the recorded content on...

Any new information on the DVR? I am really interested to know if the DVR and guide work for OTA *without* a subscription to Orby. I have been considering getting a OTA DVR and canceling my current Dish Network programming. If the Orby receiver works as a OTA DVR without a subscription...

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image. I've been out of FTA for awhile, and I'm trying to get back into it. This receiver would be a good replacement/update for my old receiver.

I want to win.

Yes, that is the same list that I have found. I am in a bit of a pickle, as I own my 722 receiver, but am planning on canceling my service in the next couple of months. So it doesn't make sense for me to add the service plan so that I can get a replacement receiver. Dish requires that I...

Can someone point me to a current list of "approved" internal hard drives for the 722 receiver? After a fair amount of searching, the list I can find is over 5 years old.

I Want One

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my needs. I already have a GEOSATPRO micro HD receiver, an AZBOX Premium HD+, and analog receiver (with a VCII module). I also have a dish mover and both C and Ku band capabilities. I have never experimented with DCII signals and wanted to know if there...

Several years ago, I was interested in getting a Digi-cipher receiver and started this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/commercial-dcii-receivers.236474/ I never did get a DCII capable receiver, but am again thinking about it. The question is - is it worth it? Is there still...

C2PLL for stability and dual outputs.

Red would be awesome.

I first got into FTA back in 1995 with a 10 ft C-band dish.

As a kid, I would look forward to spring so that I could go climb the big oak tree in the backyard.

I love spring because it is that "intermediate" time of the year where I don't have to shovel snow and I don't have to mow the lawn ;).

For clarification - I am already running an ortho setup with the 8115s. I know that the 6ft dish is limiting, but I don't have a ton of space and I don't want the dish to be an eyesore to the neighbors. I am running this feedhorn/LNB combo because I want the best performance possible on the...
