It is for some international channels. All other transponders are fine, and #4 is off occasionally. This 121 is on a Superdish through DP34 switch. Any good explanations? Thanks, --James

I have a 121 Superdish on DP34, but I'll like to also get locals from 148, so, can I use a DP21 switch to combine the output from DP34 with output from 148 lnb? The receiver is 508 with latest software. Thanks.

811 wiped out one of my PG lists after locked up! My 811 is at 287 software, it has been experiencing locked up once in a while, which I can live with. But the worst thing is, twice after the reboot, it wiped out one of my PG lists, and rendered that list completely useless, I can't change its...

But, will the extended warrenty be honored then? I am leaning toward buying it now, but it is offerred by this public company called "WarrentTec"(symbol WTEC), and they seem to be in pretty bad financial shape judging from their <$1 stock price! Besides, I am not surprised if they'll have to...

Is it a good deal to spend $299 to buy extra 4 years warranty which will cover the DLP lamp replacement cost which is more than $300 currently? What do you guys think? I am debating that with myself now. Thanks.

What I did to get out of 61.5/transponder 7... I just power-cycled the "power inserter" to my DP44 switch, and that got it out of the 61.5 and went back to 119! Now, it is all fine. Called Dish's tech again, told them what I did, and surprisingly to hear the guy said that they knew what to do...

Help!, L225 might have caused my 942 to hang! It is stuck at acquring 61.5/transponder 7 now!!! But actually there is no 61.5/transponder 7 at the "Point Dish" menu! Dish's tech support can't help and told me that someone will call me back in 24-48 hours. Rebooting it does not make it choose...

After being on the phone with Dish's tech support for 20 minutes, she told me that someone will call me back in 24-48 hours! My 942 is at L225 software version, and actually there is no 61.5/transponder 7 when I tried to use Point Dish to verify it!!! And both cold/hard reboot can not make it...

Is the "HD3" chip set really that much better than the previous version? How is it compared with Toshiba's last year model 54HM84? I wish I can decide now, instead of keeping on waiting for the next cheaper and better HDTV! Does it worth the money to get the 56SY2D model which can do 1080P...

Thanks for the replies, and more info. to share Thanks for the tutorial about using digital TV tuner! I do have local analog channels mapped, that's why I ran into difficulty. I found out that the Caption does work, but it takes about 10 seconds to show up on the screen after I hit the Done...

Just got my 921 for a week, overall like its HD picture quality. But I have couple questions/comments here: 1. The disk drive noise is very annoying, and does not spin down even turned off. any suggestion to cut it down? 2. It does pick up local diagital channels very well, but I can't enter...
