This is such crap that i'm quoting my post from the other site!! I wish I could put about 4,000 thumbs down on this post because that's what it deserves! absolutely befuddled, Michael

Hehehe. Paging Dr. Freud! Michael

Yep, PQ of recorded material is identical to the PQ of live stream. Michael

Actually, if you have 3 units, you should have 3 OTA antennas, unless you have some sort of special distribution network. The cable lengths between the receivers can interact with the received signal and cause signal loss due to null cancellation. Just for giggles, try disconnecting...

Yep, I agree, it was looking for the DP34 w/ DP Twin. Best solution is what Gerry suggested, run a check switch with no cables connected, reconnect and do the check switch again. Michael

Just as an aside, I had problems when I moved and used dishmover. 6000 was working fine with a legacy quad at the old house, but refused to see the legacy twin that the dish installer put in. We switched out all sorts of LNBs and crap and finally put a legacy quad on and it started working...

Yep, had mine for about a week too and it works well. I'm getting more subchannels with the 921 than I got with the 6000. However, I did experience some lockup with trying to view the local channel 8 PBS OTA station. I've yet to go thru the OTA stations one by one and see which ones cause...

That's true, but I think this person was looking for a 921 + a monitor. Michael

Heh, I think morale is going to be the same with or without communication. If we aren't told anything, we'll complain about no information. If we are told what's happening, people will complain about what's being done, the pace it is being done at, why did they not do "X", etc etc etc...

My first thing to try would be the matrix reset described here towards the bottom of the thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=35154&highlight=matrix+reset But yeah, that is a funky problem! Michael

Well, I was watching one of the previous chats last night (I forget the date it said it was recorded, whups) but I did listen closely when they mentioned the new software release of the 921. They said that it would happen in the "end of November, early December" timeframe. While I am bummed...

Ah! Ok, that makes a lot of sense. They really don't tell you about the 5 minute boot process. I'm coming from a 6000, so that one is ready to go pretty quick. Alrighty, as long as I see the big silver logo on the screen, I'll just hang loose until it comes up.

First $300 takes it. Buyer pays shipping. Comes with the smart card, and I've never bought any PPV. Contact me at mwsmith2@mailblocks.com (this is a challenge/response email to block spam) or you can reach me on AIM, mwsmith70. Both email and AIM are wireless, so I should be able to...

As a n00b, can you explain the boot process? I know when I plugged it in, I got this big silver medallion that says "dish network HDTV" does this mean it's booting? There's no real activity light or progress indicator to show what's going on there.... Is this where I'm supposed to wait...

I would guess because the decoding is done in hardware, not software. Michael
