    ExpressVu 9200 & External hard Drive

    This has already been added to the 9242. Any drive up to 750 GB and USB 2.0 will work. Kryspy

    ExpressVu 9200 & External hard Drive

    Hi, This feature is on the 9242 only. The 6141 is said to be geting it also. No word on 9200 availability. Expect ExpressVU.....errr.... Belltv to abandon old receivers just like Dish does. Kryspy

    DPP Seperator..... how close or far???

    I already have 2 drops going to the receiver now. Anyhow, I think I am going to use the seperator at the receiver and use the other drop to back feed the 9242 to another TV in the house. Kryspy

    DPP Seperator..... how close or far???

    Thanks, My reason is that I have coax joined in my drop ceiling already with high quality barrel connectors. Putting the seperator there would just mean one less connection for me and therefore possible loss in signal. Kryspy

    DPP Seperator..... how close or far???

    Hi, I am upgrading my ExpressVU 9242 (722 ish) to a DPP Twin and DPP seperator. Can I place the seperator say in my drop ceiling with like 12-15 feet of coax after it or does it need to be really close to the back of the receiver with only say a foot of coax off each side? Kryspy

    Bev HD vs Starchioce HD

    Satboyz, Video processors and processing technology improve from year to year. Look at video cards for PC's. I am not saying that the signals are any better. I flat out admit that Starchoice is most likely sending a superior signal at the moment. On my 9242 I notice less...

    Bev HD vs Starchioce HD

    Having just come from Starchoice to ExpressVU I can tell you that the difference in HD quality is negligible if not identical. For SD it comes down to the receiver; the 505 and 530 are old tech. The 9242 and the 9200 both do an excellent job on SD. Starchoice SD quality is horrible...

    Questions on HD Bell v. SC Mpeg4 and receivers

    My take, I've owned both..... ExpressVU is getting more and more compressed as they are stretched to the max for bandwidth right now........hence the name CompressVU If you own a 1080p set then SC is a nice choice at 1080i as the TV then just de-interlaces and shows it at 1080p as...

    Star Choice Digital Basic Questions

    I bought a refurb 530 for $299 and it has been very reliable. Nice thing is that you can upgrade the hard drive if you wish with any Seagate IDE drive. Some folks have a 750 GB drive in yielding 137 hours of HD content to record. The 505 is a nice unit; the R5000 mod is a possibility...

    Thinking of switching from *C to Expressvu

    Well, I have had both; twice. When I was with ExpressVU I had the 9200 (942) and it was a really nice machine; better than the 530 in most areas. Having said this I prefer Starchoice because their service is better and HD is output in 1080i vs. ExpressVU at 720pish and I mean ish...

    Starchoice power recycle issue

    Starchoice will most likely offer a refurb. I have a refurb and it has been fine for 6 months now. This is common with the 530 and shouldn't be a problem as long as your broker is willing to go through the hassle for you as they will most likely want to go through a whole bunch of...

    Starchoice power recycle issue

    You need a replacement... flash memory has most likely had it and that is where the OS resies. Kryspy
