    Hi, :confused: We have a Bell 9242 PVR set up at home. We want to take this in our RV, but when a friendly technician offered to do this for $180 I thought that a bit high. I have a newish Bell dish that has one LNB. The technician was going to use that dish and add 1 more LNB. He was then...

    Camping and aiming with 9242

    Ok, Power inserter in Port 1, Diplexer between Port 2 and wall, Check Switch reads OK, in all 4 boxes and strength good. Still no reception in 2nd TV. I know that the installer had trouble with 2nd TV, as we needed to use a VCR for a Tuner ... set to Ch 22 and I believe air. Any ideas? Thanks!!

    Camping and aiming with 9242

    Reconnecting PVR With slight embarrassment, I am having difficulty reconnecting my 9242 at home. The joys of having a teenager helping disconnect before labeling connections. Either my connections are wrong, or trees have grown in one week, or someone has moved my dish slightly. I have low...

    Camping and aiming with 9242

    The dish I have has only 1 LNB. Is this a problem? I have a cheap cable splitter, should I split the cable feed so I have two going into it, even if it is the same feed? I just find it odd I get nothing. When I run Checkswitch it says I have found less satellites and do I want to save this...

    Hi, I have just had a Bell 9242 HD PVR installed by Bell. I am running two Standard TV's. Everything is great except the second TV the tech could not get working. It is an old Toshiba that was working fine with a Bell stand alone receiver. This TV only goes up to channel 66 then skips to...

    Considering HD PVR Plus system from Bell (2 TV's)

    The advantage for us is that both TV's can access the recorded shows and the external HD ability may come in useful. We take it on the road in our RV so it if we are not recoding in HD, it has lots of room. Thanks,

    Hi, I have a Bell PVR ( 5900). In our RV, it came with a surround sound system ..... not exactly state of the art, but its kinda nice. The problem is that now that we are on Satellite and put the audio from our PVR to it, you have to crank it way up to max to hear it a bit. It plays the...
