Thx, guess I'll just call them and set it up, rather than trying to get fancy.

Hi All, Forgive me if these answers are obvious, I tried to find them before posting. I'm thinking of switching from Cable to dishnet. I'm pretty familiar with the components, because I've had directv and Cband in the past. My questions are: 1.) If I buy my own dvr-based dishnet...

When I try the games on my CS5000 they're really s-l-o-w like the CPU in the receiver can't handle it...and the sound is nearly zero. Mine is a clone though (didn't know that when I bought it). That might be why.

Hi all, I too am waiting for the mythical 4:2:2 stb. I thought Mpeg4 and S2 were other names for 4:2:2. Apparently I was wrong. Are there other "secret names" for 4:2:2 that I can look for? Many Thanks -Jerry

Let the bud sit there 6 months. NPS is quietly testing an IPTV deployment via C-band. Might end up a good alternative to pizza. Looks like it might be ready by spring.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll check some other VC channels....but it's worse now. I did the 30second unplug trick. Now all my sats are gone. The thing is erased. I'm going to have to do a master reset and start over. bummer.

Hi All, I have a dsr922 and about a year ago got a retread VCII. It's worked ok for me. I have the NPS AD pkg but that gets me a few analog channels. Anyhow, I was watching WGN tonight and in the middle of my show it just goes encrypted on me. I've unplugged the 922, and that did nothing...

Hi all, I've seen this mentioned in a couple threads but can't find anything outside this website. Is this program going to happen? Is there a link you guys know of that could shed some light on it? ....and can I get the money later if I bought my STB last week???/

Hi All, I have a 2 story house and my antenna (standard uhf/vhf with rotor) is on the garage, about 15' off the ground. With my DTV tuner I get most of the locals I should get, except one weak one. ....but rain hoses me. Today I'm going to put it on top of the main house, raising it...

Tdti - Skew was the answer, Thanks! A little tweaking to get me closer to 90degrees and the DC light popped right on. 2min later I had a guide. Thanks again, Jerry

I'll try to skew G1-3 in better. Currently I only get a DC light on 13. If I get a dc on tp3 I'll try again and let you know how it went. THANKS!

Thanks guys...I agree with you but I still have a problem. The guide button still just says "we are processing your request". It doesn't even draw the grid with "No Info". I did the unplug from G1-3 and G1-13 (since 13 has a dc light). Neither produced for me. I'm supposed to turn...

Hi all, My TDT was at 1920 so I did my first master reset last night. I have all my sats and subs (VC and DCII) reprogrammed and working. I did a DCII rehit from NPS. It worked. Didn't do a VCII rehit because it looks like the reset didn't affect it any. (my VC channels still work)...

I've heard people say that a full transponder of analog c-band (aka Dr Gene) can run 200k/mo. Well, if you can bounce 10 or so Ku Digital channels thru that same TP then the above estimates of 10k to 25k would sound good. I'd guess 10 to 25k.

I'm not too bright, so why isn't this X4 idea (and HD/4:2:2) obvious to these guys? Does anyone working for these companies actually own a dish? Similarly, why doesn't Twinhan etc (smart enough to do 4:2:2 on a PC) spend 1$ calling a chinese company to make their cards a STB?
