They'll need a software upgrade for the Archos, then. I hope Archos will provide the software update and make it backward compatible with 3xx models. --- WCS

Nice work, Scott! I'm particularly interested in the adaptation DISH has planned for the Archos portable DVRs. I own an Archos model 380, which has an 80 gig hard disk and is the predecessor of the 4xx model on the right in your picture. The Archos will play Xvid and Dvix files, within...

Yes. The satellites are at the same location but there is a single set of transponder frequencies common to both services. Voom uses some of those frequencies and DISH uses the rest. Both DISH and Voom are capable of using all 32 frequencies but the licenses are divided between the two...

I would think that you should be able to use a Dish 300 with a dual LNBF to get Voom and DISH on one dish. The 61.5 dish would have to be incorporated into a "legacy" dish system and would not be compatible with DishPro or Superdish. It would also not be compatible with Voom's new expansion to...

I'd like to see the same recording editor capabiity I have on my Panasonic HD/DVD DVR (DMR-HS2). We should be able to edit the recordings before dumping them via firewire. --- WCS

I have tried 105 on an SW64 and couldn't get the switch check to recognize it. The receiver WOULD recognize it when it was on input 2 of the SW21, though, so on my set-up I have 61.5/110/119, 61.5/110/119/105, 61.5/110/119/105 (Nr. 2) and 61.5/110/119/121 as my four outputs from my SW64 and...

I expect lots of whining about Turner/Viacom deals, plugs for subscription sports packages (NBA/NHL) and more announcements of superdish locals with 2-3 month waits for installs. No mention of HD, except perhaps to say SHO and HBO now on 110. --- WCS

Yes, the 1241 receiver, a four tuner DISH HD receiver will win best of show for its well designed plastic case and stylish mockup of input and output ports. No one will even pretend to turn it on. Estimated shipping date is 2010, but only to a "very limited and select group of subscribers". Four...

Re: Thanks! Don't feel bead. I came really close to jumping on it, too. --- WCS

If this were the case, I would say, "Release it!". I can't receive any OTA where I live, analog or digital. --- WCS

That would explain why it was a one day auction. --- WCS

I currently have two 36" Paraclipse dishes with Pansat 0.6 dB Ku FSS LNBFs pointed at 105 and 121. They're tied into SW21's that are cascaded off a 61.5/110/119 SW64. this gives me one 61.5/110/119/105 outlet and one 61.5/110/119/121 outlet, with room for one additional either 105 or 121. It's...

The STK-570F is an LNB, not an LNBF, and appears to be designed for installation in a feedhorn, maybe on a C/Ku installation. It does not appear to be designed for installation on an offset dish. Since SatelliteGuy stated there was a cheap way to use an offset type FTA dish with a DP34...

What LNBF do you use for Ku FSS that's compatible with DishPro? I have yet to find one. --- WCS

The D* offerings seem to be driving Charlie's plans right now. He stuck to the idea that all new HD would go on superdish until D* launched new HD before superdish was ready. He then caught up using space on 110. Based on the latest chats, I'm under the strong impression that he will not add new...
