I still have both 91 and 82 in Boston (42.36 deg N), but the levels have dropped further this year. (Tho we've had a lot of work done on the house, so I don't know if that is to blame) Most tps are in the 60s, some in the 50's. A few make it into the 70's. Rain fade is a problem, even on sunny...

Oh great - good to know. Thanks!

It seems the original posters problem has been solved, but I thought this sort of problem was also a risk. When I started with dishes 12 years ago, I had a BEV and Dish receiver, both used part time. I used one dish (with single LNB) and would swing it from one location to the other as needed...

I have Total Choice (grandfathered), and got an email last week saying we would lose OWN in my package, but that it would be available in Choice (as someone indicated above). I'll check the Total Choice listings with what I have soon. This is great - the DirecTV website is so wrong on what I...

Sounds like it could be an extreme case of the Conexant chip issue. 5100's (and possibly 5800s) had an issue with a chip in the tuner assembly that would come unsoldered due to the high heat load generated by the chip. Its usually characterized by signal constantly dropping out while watching a...

My Bell 5100 (with 120 GB drive upgrade and re-seated Conexant tuner chip) had worked fine for about 5 months, but in the last 24 hours, showed a couple of unusual glitches. i) On the "My Recordings" page, either the title, date or duration of certain recordings on the screen were blank. If I...

Aagghh.... I feared something like that. And it does seem to go flaky after warming up. I had it switched off all night, and this morning it worked OK for 10 mins or so before reverting to the same problem. Of course, Bell equipment goes for much more on eBay than Dish equipment, because...

So, I managed to find a 5100 (with 5900 hard-drive upgrade) on ebay, and the other day I had that activated in place of my good old 2700. The 2700 had been working fine, with good signal strength and no problems in the last month or so. Everything was good with the 5100 for about the first 20...

There's *lots* of 3100 on ebay right now (Well, not 240 of them - but a lot!) Futureshop and Best Buy Canada did not list 5900's (or SD-PVRs) recently when I checked their websites. Just 4100, 6141 and 9242's. KuSat still lists 5900's, and Bell.ca lists a SD-PVR, altho they don't tell you the...

Kevin, Thanks for this. Now I'm confused. The descriptions of the 501, 508 and 510 on the Dish page are identical. They even download the same user manual. Is there any difference in these models? The one thing the Dish website doesn't seem to give is HDD size. Is that the difference? What...

Does someone have any knowledge of the difference between a Bell 5200, 5800 and 5900 receiver? Or, even the relevant DISH Network receiver names for the same units? Dish's tech portal is an amazing reference for their receivers: DISH Network - Tech Portal But I need a correlation listing for...

Thanks guys. I'm out of the country right now, but will call KuSat when I'm back later this week. Their website does list the $300 in credits on a 9242 as for new customers only, while us old existing customers simply have to pay $595. However, maybe they have a way of helping out their loyal...

Hi guys, I've just found this forum, after posting/reading elsewhere for a long time. I was reading the Broker thread in the stickies section, but it was closed three years ago, just when it seemed to be getting interesting. About 8 years ago, KuSat sold me an ExpressVu 2700 and set up my...
