Thx, guess I'll just call them and set it up, rather than trying to get fancy.

...does work, am I still wasting money buying a rcvr when I can pay $5/mo for a free receiver and get full dvr capability? 2.) Will my old Direct*v dish (still mounted) work? It's elliptical and has 3lnbs. 2a.) if Question2=yes, would it still be smarter to take a 'free install' and...

When I try the games on my CS5000 they're really s-l-o-w like the CPU in the receiver can't handle it...and the sound is nearly zero. Mine is a clone though (didn't know that when I bought it). That might be why.

Hi all, I too am waiting for the mythical 4:2:2 stb. I thought Mpeg4 and S2 were other names for 4:2:2. Apparently I was wrong. Are there other "secret names" for 4:2:2 that I can look for? Many Thanks -Jerry

Let the bud sit there 6 months. NPS is quietly testing an IPTV deployment via C-band. Might end up a good alternative to pizza. Looks like it might be ready by spring.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll check some other VC channels....but it's worse now. I did the 30second unplug trick. Now all my sats are gone. The thing is erased. I'm going to have to do a master reset and start over. bummer.

Hi All, I have a dsr922 and about a year ago got a retread VCII. It's worked ok for me. I have the NPS AD pkg but that gets me a few analog channels. Anyhow, I was watching WGN tonight and in the middle of my show it just goes encrypted on me. I've unplugged the 922, and that did nothing...

Hi all, I've seen this mentioned in a couple threads but can't find anything outside this website. Is this program going to happen? Is there a link you guys know of that could shed some light on it? ....and can I get the money later if I bought my STB last week???/

Hi All, I have a 2 story house and my antenna (standard uhf/vhf with rotor) is on the garage, about 15' off the ground. With my DTV tuner I get most of the locals I should get, except one weak one. ....but rain hoses me. Today I'm going to put it on top of the main house, raising it...

Tdti - Skew was the answer, Thanks! A little tweaking to get me closer to 90degrees and the DC light popped right on. 2min later I had a guide. Thanks again, Jerry

I'll try to skew G1-3 in better. Currently I only get a DC light on 13. If I get a dc on tp3 I'll try again and let you know how it went. THANKS!

Thanks guys...I agree with you but I still have a problem. The guide button still just says "we are processing your request". It doesn't even draw the grid with "No Info". I did the unplug from G1-3 and G1-13 (since 13 has a dc light). Neither produced for me. I'm supposed to turn...

Hi all, My TDT was at 1920 so I did my first master reset last night. I have all my sats and subs (VC and DCII) reprogrammed and working. I did a DCII rehit from NPS. It worked. Didn't do a VCII rehit because it looks like the reset didn't affect it any. (my VC channels still work)...

I've heard people say that a full transponder of analog c-band (aka Dr Gene) can run 200k/mo. Well, if you can bounce 10 or so Ku Digital channels thru that same TP then the above estimates of 10k to 25k would sound good. I'd guess 10 to 25k.

I'm not too bright, so why isn't this X4 idea (and HD/4:2:2) obvious to these guys? Does anyone working for these companies actually own a dish? Similarly, why doesn't Twinhan etc (smart enough to do 4:2:2 on a PC) spend 1$ calling a chinese company to make their cards a STB?

1 Gold Star and 100 points go to Hermitman! Made a call to NPS, got a rehit, and my clock is correct. Thanks!!

Hi All, When the time changed in mid-March, my '922 made the switch just fine. Then, a couple weeks later (not sure exactly) It was suddenly off by an hour. What's weird is that the EPG has the shows correct (i.e. current show = center column) but it is one hour earlier on the time...

I told them I wanted 4:2:2 and to license DC2 (and megapipe) from Motorola. Why couldn't they license DC2, sit down with Comcast/Hits, and make X4 a "3rd" pizza dish option?

So far I haven't found an EPG in this unit. That was a bit of a bummer. I'll clarify that in my review.

The results are in. I went to WalMart and purchased the Philips DVDR3505. DVD Recorder with built-in tuner. Walmart price: 169. I'll look into CD burning in the next couple days, below are my initial thoughts on the OTA reception that I really was concerned with.... Pros: HDMI Out-...

Thanks for the great info! The Zinwell looks like a good unit. But if I WAS to consider a DVD/ATSC combo unit, do you know what the favorites are? Thanks again, Jerry

Hi All, I have a decent 32" tube SDtv (no component input). I'd like to improve my locals by getting an atsc tuner and using it's s-video or rca output. Seems like this should be easy, but I'm not having luck shopping. Below are the 2 frontrunners, but neither have reviews that are...

Why wouldn't Motorola take the $$ and license dcII to another manufacturer? Are CableCo's and DBS companies pressuring them to kill dcII

Thanks for all the info, guys. I'm perfectly happy getting dvb from my 10' bud, but was just curious about the 18".

Hi guys, just curious... if ku=ku=ku, then why can't a guy just slap a linear lnb on an 18" dish? are the dbs satellites putting out a "hotter" signal than the others or something?
