    Questions about my first motorized dish install

    I am getting started in the FTA world and have some questions about the dish install since I have never done a motorized dish. I just received my 3ABN 90cm dish and it seems like very good quality. The dish mounting bracked is stamped Azure Shine and I particularly like the fact that the LNB...

    Need help with failed 921 hard drive!

I removed the drive and tried to pull the contents off with Ghost to put on an identical drive I already have, but no luck. The drive is still in warranty and I have received an rma from Maxtor but I am still...

    Can a deactivated 921 still record OTA?

    I did a forum search for this and I'm sorry if it has been answered already. I received a letter from Dish warning me that my annual payment is going up again. I don't watch much TV these days and so my answer to them may be to drop to Top 60 with locals. I currently use my 721 for SD...

    Really strange recording problem 721/921

    Just lately I have been having some recording problems with my formerly reliable 721. Some shows recorded in the evening to late evening will have severe macroblocking and loss of audio at times and will even go to a black "acquiring signal" screen. I have noticed it especially on Jay Leno...

    721 Missed simultaneous timers!

    My 721 has been very trustworthy for a long time, but I had timers set for the premieres of American Dreams and Clubhouse (both at 8 pm) and neither one fired. I had set the timers off the guide earlier and later I accidentally tried to set a third timer for the same time and I got the warning...
