USB hubs definitely work. The key is having drives with a power switch (I wish they had not eliminated these from all the newer drives). I have 3 older Maxtor OneTouch drives (with power switch) and a Seagate Free Agent (on a foot activated switch) all hooked through a powered 4-port USB hub...

I also think this is the fastest way to end the format war. If everything is available on both formats, one will become dominant very quickly.

I couldn't agree more. Now this supposed news on Fox and MGM is a joke. Two studios who have exclusively supported BR restate this and it is news :confused:

How is the Dish Store on upgrade offers? My brother-in-law is thinking about upgrading to some MPEG-4 product.

Being a UHF remote the TV2 remote will definitely go through batteries quicker than the TV1 remote. That being said, 1 month is definitely not normal. I agree with hall that you should call and get it replaced.

I think the success or failure of HD-DVD and Blu-ray is what will help determine if HD-Lite lives or dies. If these formats are successful, E* and D* will be much more likely to provide a comparable image. My own belief is that right now E* is focusing on being the leading (as in # of...

Here in Denver the HD LIL blows away OTA. Of course that is largely due to the fact that OTA reception here is pathetic.

Provided they lose, the outcome of this trial will have little real impact on E*. They will automatically appeal, based on the jury not understanding the technical issues. From there the case will go to the appeals level where it will be ruled upon by a judge, who is much more likely to...

Double your profit year over year and that's a dissapointment???? I guess there is a reason that analyst starts with anal :D

Has anyone swapped a HDD in a 7100/7200 recently? I just tried to swap in a new drive on my old 7100 and keep getting the "Internet Terminal Defective" message whenever it tries to dial in. Is there something new that I have to do to force the unit to download the WebTV client? Thanks!

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but are you sure you have the correct converter? Did you mistakenly get one that goes from Coax to Optical, instead of Optical to Coax.

Dolby Digital audio loss has continually gotten worse and worse. I first noticed it only on recorded events, then it started happening if I paused, now it happens just while watching things normally. This is supposed to be a higher end receiver. I know it shouldn't, but it continues to amaze...

Same as the 301.

Sounds like a setup issue. What LNB (or LNB's) do you have? Here is a link to some installation info on the e* site... http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/products/installation/install_diagrams/index.shtml

I still have my 7200 and have never paid a penny for PTV. It has been rock solid for sometime now and would have to be pried out of my hands :-)
