Can something like the Dish DuoDVR® ViP 722k be used in OTA mode without a subscription?

So are there any other OTA DVR dual tuner devices out there besides the Channel Master 7400 for North America? Owner of a recently dead Dishpal DVR Echostar TR50.

Oops Thank You for the info, can you recommend a system with similar capabilities that does do OTA and FTA? Zepo

I just bought a SV pvr1000 with the intent of getting OTA now and setting up FTA later. I am having major grief in getting this thing to do anything at all so I am questioning my inital premise. CAN YOU TELL ME if this thing does OTA at all or if I am barking up the wrong tree? It has an ant...

Thank you for the response, that is the type of +- information/experience I am looking for.

Have you worked with either the viewsat or sonicview the manhattan listed above looks ok as well as far as features go. Any suggestions as to what I may have better luck with as first timer with patience? The manhattan looks UK based, are there any issues to be aware of with compatibility...

I do not plan on using a motor, Does this make the viewsat a better option than the Pansat with hicupps?

So I hear one negative for the Pansat, any positives or experience with any of the others? I am more likely to go with one KNOWN negative than no KNOWN information. Are there other forums or discussion groups I should look to before a purchase of the pansat? I usually research the heck out of...

Duh, please educate me, what happened to the post I put here yesterday? Did I put it in the wrong place?

Yes I got OTA to work with a plain jane antenna, I have powered on and off many time without issue, I did have the problem you descibe one time, I unpluged for 1/2 hour, and pulled out an reseated the card in the front. Works again no problem? Good Luck.

The right PVR wanted. I came across your review here and found it helpful, I am looking for a PVR twin tuner FTA receiver that I can also input OTA. I have found 4 so far, the Pansat 6000 HSX, Sonicview PVR 1000, Dreambox 7025SI, and Viewsat PVR 7000. Have you reviewed any of these others are...

You know they are circular polarized because that is what DirecTv and Dish use? What other clues can you give me such that I can distinguish that fact, are there particular markings or call letters in the title of a lnb that signify linear or cicular?

I am obviously new to the technology... I am only looking to use this stuff for FTA. The dishnetwork dish is elliptical, 33"x24". It has three cylindrical heads on it, two are inside of a main housing and the third is on an outrigger. It has 3 rg6 cables attached, the outrigger head has a...

Hard way around approach. Assuming you only want to change the colors while you are dealing with the alignment so that you can see it better. What kind of connection are you using from the receiver to the TV? If you are using a component or s-video input you could pull 1 wire from the input...
