I still have my 921 in the bedroom (622 in the living room) and lately it's been flaking out on me. I'll go to turn it on and the power light comes on but nothing else happens. Rebooting it (holding power till it resets) gets it back up and running. My wife is really getting annoyed with...

Pretty sure I've seen enough messages that say it's better to use two D500's to get 110/119 & 129 vs a D1000, but I thought I'd make sure. I swung my 148 dish to 129, but I'm a crazy fellow and was wondering if down the line I might miss out on something at 148 or 61.5 (or even some other slot...

Had a fun time trying to add the Voom HD package to my subscription. I re-aimed my 148 dish at 129, with the help of a handy sat finder I got off ebay for $5, then did a check switch on my 811. It re-downloaded the guide and presto! new channels (in red) from 9470 to 9482. Next I called Dish...

Here's a question. Is there enough bandwidth on 61.5 or 129 to run all these new HD channels at a decent quality level under MPEG2, or are the channels going to be piss-poor until they switch to MPEG4? My own primitive tests in encoding show MPEG4 to be at least half the bandwidth/size of...

Haven't been around here for a while, looks like I missed alot. Specifically I didn't know about all the Voom HD content on 129. Presently I have 2 dish 500s, 1 pointed at 110/119 and one with single lnb at 148. I'm contemplating swinging my 148 dish to point at 129. However since I already...

What do you guys think? And before you ask, yes, everything works :D Aaron's Crazy Satellite Setup I tried to split the diagram into seperate areas/modules to make it easier to understand. It still makes my head hurt thinking about it though :p

Oh look, another image :D Basically, I'm finally getting around to setting up HD in my bedroom. I have a uhf antenna in the attic, and a dvr in the wiring closet, along with the satellite feeds. I'm wondering if it's ok to combine the uhf antenna line with the dvr RF out, take that...

I'm trying to figure out how to allow TV's in different rooms to view programs from 2 or more different receivers (like a 510 and 921) and was wondering if it's ok to combine the rf outputs so the TV could choose channel 3 or 4 to pick which it was going to view. Or, taking it a step further...

When I originally set up my HDTV, I got the dealer to throw in a couple diplexors so I could put the uhf antenna elsewhere. These diplexors explicitly say they are for satellite on one input and uhf/vhf/catv on the other, however I never got an OTA signal lock when I had them in the system. I...

I thought I knew all the things to check before buying off ebay, but I apparently missed something and I haven't seen it explicitly posted so I thought I'd share: I came across an auction for two "like new" 311 receivers, guaranteed not to be DOA or to have a balance, with a "buy it now" for...
