    TiVo Support for E* HDTV

    There is almost no chance that a SA HDTV Tivo would support the announced Dish Network HDTV receivers.

    False Charges

    Brain, So when you look under past purchases on your receiver(s), it does not list any PPV purchases? That is very interesting. It sounds like maybe there is some pirate out there using your smartcard information (with a phone connected) to order PPVs.

    How can they do that?

    Scott, You shouldn't have to return a receiver if you are just adding another for $5/mo. But if you are replacing a receiver, and not incurring another $5/mo, then they want you to send-in the one being replaced (or pay $50 extra).

    Brain, You don't have a PVR/Tivo and a teenager in the house, do you? :)

    Building your own "superdish"

    Bogney, Might you consider repointing to 121 to find out what kind of signal you can get? The satellite at the 121 is operating at roughly the same power that AMC-15 will use late next year.

    Does the new 811/921 have better 8vsb modules?

    Barry, The 6000 8PSK module uses the BCM4500. Are you confusing that with the BCM3510? The 6000 8-VSB module was introduced with the Nxt2000 8-VSB demod.

    921 & Open TV

    Scott, What does OpenTV support mean for 721/921 users? In other words, are they revising the interface, or just adding support for OpenTV interactive applications without UI changes?

    811 delayed?

    Tim, I suspect they have a limited supply of 522 units. They probably also want to move out the remainder of their 721 inventory -- which the 522 is set to replace. I suspect the 522 will be available to all customers early next year, if not sooner.

    New File area additions

    Scott, The installation guide was posted for dealers/installers, not customers. :)

    Hot! Hot! Super DISH

    Confirmed: My opinion: These sizes were needed to ensure reliable service throughout the country at existing power levels. They are not going to produce a smaller dish that can only be sold to minority of customers; they required a one dish solution that would work for everyone (or just...

    Delay when switching Channels

    gfg, You should practice browsing using the program guide rather than using channel up/down buttons.

    Dish 500 and new 811.

    dmodem, The premium channel HDs are already on 105. So yes, they will be mirrored and transitioned, as you say. There is currently no plan (or space) to put premium HD channels at 110.

    What does VOOM need to do?

    What specific changes does VOOM need to make to get your business? Please try to be reasonable. Capacity limitations prevent VOOM from adding locals or dozens of additional SD channels; legal contraints prevent them from adding national HD feeds; and carriage agreements prevent them from...
