Thanks Bobby. And just to be clear, the 4kJ UI can be put into “classic” mode instead of using “tile” mode, correct?

Yes, I was confusing them a bit. And the wording of my questions was a little vague. Let me try asking less obtusely. I have a H3 with the Appearance settings set to “classic” for both the Home Screen and Theme preferences. I have no interest in 4k video or Android apps, so those don’t play a...

Four more questions: 1. Is the 4k (wired) faster than the J3 (in the guide, menus, etc.)? I don’t care about 4k video, just speed for better ease of use. 2. Does the 4k have the same UI as the H3, or is it like the H+? 3. Does the 4k run Android apps like the H+? 4. Are there any known...

What is the minimum coax cable requirements for a Joey 3? Will RG59 work?

Is your DVR disk getting full? Shows can be auto deleted if not marked “Protected” and the DVR disk is getting full. The DVR recordings screen has a green percentage bar that show how full the H3 thinks the DVR disk is.

This is not a new problem, and has been discussed at length on other threads. It’s been around for a year or more. It affects some people but not others. And even those that do see it don’t see it consistently. I myself get it on occasion (H3 and H392). I have found that his happens more...

FSK is only used in MoCA communications between devices on the local coax, and has nothing to do with the satellite signals. I think I'm beginning to understand DPH now, it's all in the acronym of "hybrid". It appears a DPH LNBF is a configurable LNBF as four LNBFs in one, DP, DPP, DPX, and...

Fantastic information. Thanks a lot. However, I think you got your DPZ/DPX group labels backwards. DPZ appears to be for Hopper3s (owning to the 16 (18) simultaneous channels), DPX appears to be for the earlier Hopper1s, Wallys (single tuner), and Hopper2s (three tuners). Is that correct...

FSK stands for Frequency Shift Keying. This is where the carrier frequency is shifted slightly up or down to indicate a “bit” of information. This scheme is more immune radio propagation and fading issues than CW (Continuous Wave) transmissions where the carrier is turned on and off to denote...

I’ve not heard of DPX and DPZ before. Can you explain them in more detail please?

Ok, I'll start. On another thread telstar_1 posted the above about the early days of LNA, LNBA, LNB, LNBF development progression. And at the end asking about how DPH works; I'd like to know that too. Can anyone give a detailed description on how DPH works?

Nice history, I didn’t know all of that. And I also would love a detail explanation of how DPH works, but I suggest a new thread for that so as to not hijack this thread.

In the olden days, the only name we had was LNA (Low Noise Amplifier). Then block down conversion come along as LNBA (Low Noise BLock converting Amplifier). That’s mostly fallen out of favor, but I still use it out of habit. Both LNB and LNBF are the common acronyms these days. But, no matter...

Aren't there EA territories that can't or conveniently see the WA?

What do you mean by the “label”?
