Yes it would. The probable cause was not a change in the software, but a change in the way the guide is described in the stream. One problem that may cause these reboots has been located in a part of software which is common to dsx 5500 and the mrr. This problem is still under...

I'd be curious to know what you are using the serial port for. I was thinking it was only there for debugging...

D10-100 : made by Thomson D10-200 : made by Humax D10-300 : made by Philips

Yes, I have. :p

I said Theorically, didn't I? :p I didn't say it would look good.... It would probably look like a slide show. Thanks for clearing that up. Anyway, I confirm that the R15 uses the STi5528 mono chip. It provides double decoding (to be used for watching/recording in parallel or double...

Theorically, you could imagine it would do a MPEG4 decoding by software. My comment was about hardware decoding, even if I should check the specs of the Broadcom chips some manufacturers are using. My guess is no manufacturer has a MPEG4 decoder ready to be launched in the field yet...

It has a USB port instead. I don't know if it will be one of its 'future use'. The R15 is going to provide a DVR with the united interface DTV has introduced on the D10...

Then plan to wait for a bit. H20 won't be a DVR. Try and guess what the code name of the HD DVR will be. By the way, the code names for DTV's products are not manufacturer specific, other manufacturers will also provide the H20 to DTV. The R15 does use the same remotes as the D10's...

I have experimented Active in Los Angeles, Ca. So, it's available there.

Anyway, the D10-200 is bound to get a software upgrade one of these days... And when it happens, all the D10's (ie D10-100, D10-200 and D10-300) will have the same User Interface.

The purpose of the LNB output test is to check that the LNB is responding to the commands sent by the receivers. A few LNB configurations are set and then the hardware is checked to verify that it has been configured according to the command. This is why a temporary loss of video occurs during...

No, the updates come from the satellite feed.

Err, people who don't want to turn their PC on to get the weather forecast? Or maybe people who just simply don't have a PC?

You can select the primary location for weather by zip code. Then you can display up to 5 more cities by area. First you get a "region" screen (think in the line of East, Central, South West, North West, and so on), then by state and then country. The active weather is displaying data which is...

If you come to find a solution, I am interested as well. But I believe dodge is right, the satellites are not visible from Europe...

lol You are really real, aren't you?

Do mods here tolerate people talking about hacking systems?

You seem to be confusing 2 unrelated notions : - Signal Strength represents the tuning quality of your receiver. It will depend on the quality of the receiver's tuner IC, of the quality of the LNB, of the positioning of your dish, and of whatever multiswitch you have in between. Signal...

It always comes from the dish. The phone line has a low bandwidth and is only used when data need to be sent from the customer to the service provider.

Do these dates concern all manufacturers of the D10?

Receivers use hardware decoders. As far as I know, the receivers available today have a MPEG2 decoder, so a software upgrade won't allow you to switch to MPEG4.

There is no such problem with the D10-300 either. Contact Directv! :p /Seriously, this sounds a lot like a software bug. This behaviour is likely to change once the software upgrade that will enable the Active feature will take place.

How do you think the professional installers who frequent this forum should appreciate that kind of comparison?

No the D10 does not have an optical digital audio output. It is a basic box. HDTV is going to go through some changes in the future. Mainly, the current ATSC (MPEG2 based) will be replaced by the A3 standard (MPEG4 based). This means that when this happens, the current receivers will be...

With a name like that, they should air slasher movies instead! :D
