    722 rebooting

    Sounds like it's on it's way out. I am on my 3rd 722...they all start with same issue....sluggish responses, and then freezes up and reboots. My last one wouldn't let me make any changes to priorities without rebooting. Crappy HDDs I would guess.

    DT UHF Help needed - only 7.5 miles from towers

    What about that square shooter? it's a lot more pleasing to the eye if it will work in my case. I didn't think i will need a conventional outdoor uhf antenna being so close to the towers, but i am not that knowledgeable about VHF/UHF ota signals.

    DT UHF Help needed - only 7.5 miles from towers

    I live in a highly wooded area in N.E. PA, but am less than 8 miles from the towers. I have no problem getting the 2 OTA VHF stations (CBS & NBC), but can't even get a picture for the UHF. I have bought 2 different $30 amplified antennas (radio shack and an RCA one from wal mart) with no success...

    Skippin' Commercials

    What a ridiculous topic, but what the hell....Doesn't the RCA VCR, even if it automatically FF thru commericals, still take longer to do that than hitting 30 sec skip 4 times?

    Xbox 2

    There is also talk that Microsoft will release at least 2 different versions of Xbox 2 (one with and one without a hard drive).

    Where can I go to find out resolutions of Xbox games?

    I am hooked on Burnout 3 for my PS2 too! I know that with some vehicles, if you hold the boost button constantly (R1 for me), you will not hit the actual top speed. Make sure you press boost twice every few seconds and you should hit max speed, but it's still damn hard to beat those times. Also...

    set-top dvd recorder vs pc burner advice

    If you want to just burn an entire program and not have to deal with editing, then just buy a set top box and hook it up using s-video. Considering how cheap DVD media has become, you may not need/want to remove commericals. I have a VAIO Media Center 2004 PC, P4, 2.8ghz, 2GB RAM, 500GM HDD...

    RUMOR - FOX HD on Dish for SuperBowl? No Way.

    I am confused....i have an 811 but with no HD Pak anymore (Cancelled it a few weeks back). Does this mean i would still get it as i get Wash DC locals??

    windy weather = loss of 80% channels

    I have never had that happen to me. The only time i lose a signal is a few minutes before a HUGE storm hits (2-3 times a year) and only then it's only for a few minutes. Sounds like an installer problem.

    501's slow scrolling

    I have a 508 and it does not scroll fast by any means. My 811 scrolls 3 x as fast but it doesn't have the extended program guide that the 5XX receivers have.

    I miss my 721!

    Is there any site you can provide which shows the specs for the adelphia boxes? Their website doesn't seem to show them? Also, they provided you with an HD DVR?

    DVR or Digital Sound?

    I have my 508 hooked up via optical but the only time i hear DD 5.1 is when watching a ppv movie (i don't have any movie channels), so really it's a waste 99.9% of the time.

    NBR is coming for 501 508 511??

    I would bet it only goes to 510 and higher models as they already pay the $4.99 DVR service fee, which up until now, was for NOTHING!! I can see them coming to us 508/501 owners saying you can have NBR for $4.99/month.

    Jumping Ship, Dish vs. Cable

    Every week, i get an Adelphia flyer touting their DVR and HD offerings. In researching some other posts, i didn't see anyone all that happy with the picture quality of adelphia. Although, beinig able to get hd locals right off the bat is a big selling point. I would be interested to get your...

    XM in Europe

    I know someone will correct me if i am wrong, but the xm satellites barely get a signal into alaska. i think the terms of service for xm indicate service is for the lower 48 states only.
