Also note that adjacent satellites have the polarity reversed in order to avoid interference. For example: if one satellite has the odd numbered transponders as H and the even numbered transponders as V, the satellite right next to it will have the odd numbered transponders as V and the even...

It could also be the north/south axis.

I considered pizza a few years ago, but didn't like that some of the channels I wanted were in the (expensive) higher tier packages. If I could just pick the channels I wanted with pizza or cable I would go for it. But I don't want to be paying for 90 channels when I only watch 10 or less...

On the PowerVu side: there's already a consumer receiver: the Cisco D9865. The HD model has component video, HDMI, and coaxial digital audio out. The main problem is there is not a central authorization center like the Comcast SAC. If SRL wants to step up and work out contracts with Turner...

I stand corrected then. I was thinking you could use the ASI output to feed a ASI to QAM setup. To get component video, then yes it looks like you'll need to feed the ASI output to a HDD1000 or HDD1100.

The DSR6000 series should have all the HD decoding built-in. Shouldn't need to use a separate HDD1000 with it.

Motorola does have the patent, but if they wanted to they can license the DCII technology to another manufacturer to make receivers if Moto does not want to build the boxes themselves. All it takes is money. I would gladly buy a consumer DCII box that could get the DCII DVB-S2 masters. I would...

Every time the feds have tried there has been serious lobbying to block it: "People need ESPN. It must be included on the basic tier of any cable/satellite package. People not wanting / not watching ESPN is unthinkable." "If you remove packages and move to a la carte, nobody will pay for the...

Comcast is one of Motorola's biggest customers with all the set top cable boxes they buy. Comcast should have enough clout to get things done. A new receiver would be smaller and cheaper now than in the past since it doesn't need to fit a VCII module into it. Leave out the transformer for the...

Or they could let us sub using commercial receivers or make a new receiver that does combomode and MPEG-4 instead of having to go back to the older compression formats for the 4DTV.

That's what I've been wondering for a while myself. How long before HITS converts W5 to combo mode or MPEG-4 and we lose the last of what the 4DTV can receive? Why wasn't there a new receiver in the works a few years ago back when the subscriber numbers were much higher than they are now? I...

Exactly. Get the masses to believe the quality of second generation signals is as good as it gets so they'll never think to question if there's something better. If our chances for a new Digicipher consumer receiver are dead for getting masters, maybe we can work on the Skyvision or another...

Do any of the commercial Motorola receivers handle 4:2:2 video?

I would be interested. Thanks in advance.
