I switched from e* to Comcast 7 months ago. There have been no problems with the 6412 what so ever. The HD quality varies greatly depending on the show being watched. My only problems with Comcast are 1) Higher price, and 2) many channels are still in analog (ugh) Ron

I will stay put with what I have (SD DVR and 311). The $20/mon for HD is a high price since I can get all locals OTA. For me, a DVR is a must, but the 942 and 622 prices are too high. Maybe I'll go for th SD DVR and a 222 Ron

I am a former Dish customer, and the CSRs tell me I qualify for the DHA-FORMERS program. However, from reading the posts in this forum for the past several months, many people think it is better to go thru a local dealer rather than Dish. Of the 3 dealers in my area (other than RS and Sears), 2...

Thanks to all who responded. I'll let you know how I make out Ron

Part 1 I will be returning back to Dish Network sometime soon, (I switched from E* to Comcast a while ago.) I still have all my old E* equipment since I purchased and installed it myself. The old setup had: 311 as the main receiver 301 as the second receiver Dish 500Twin which is still...

Trouble with Firewire Quote from Bulldog " The DCT6412 has 2 6-pin firewire ports. When facing the back of the DCT6412 make sure you use the firewire port on the right hand side (left side if looking from the front) There seems to be a problem using the other firewire port. You might need a...

Trouble with Firewire output. What settings work? I also have the Motorola 6412 with a CyberHome 1600 DVD recorder. I cannot get a picture to the DVD recorder. When I disconnect the Firewire cable, I get the error "no signal' on the monitor. When I connect the cable, the error message goes...

I also switched from Dish Network to Comcast Cable using one of their deals ($60/month for Digital with HBO/MAX/Starz/Showtime, + $9/month for 2nd box + $10/month for HD DVR (Moto 6412). The deal is for 6 months, no commitment in the Phila. area. However, I was surprised that many of my...

Many thanks Thanks to all who answered. After I preformed the reboot (as listed in my original post) by removing and restoring power, the 6412 is working great!

I've been having misc problems with my 6412, and was wondering how to reboot it. I have been pulling the power cord from the outlet, waiting 15 secs, then plugging it back in. I have read that holding the power button on the receiver down for 15 secs or so will also cause reboot. On my...

Menus OK, but No video and no sound I too experienced the no video/no sound problem. I've had the 6412 about 6 days now, so I thought it was something I did wrong. I remembered the one suggestion in this post about holding the power button in. That did not work for me. (next time I'll try...

The promo I have includes Platinum (standard analog and digitals, HBO, MAX, Showtime, Starz, TMC) 1 HD box 1 SD box free install $59.00 a month for 6 months. AFter that it goes up to $112/ month

Comcast SD SQ Last week I switched from Dish Network to Comcast, primarily to check out their HD and take advantage of their promo. The digital channels are quite good. The quality of the analog channels varies quite a bit. I was surprised that the analog channels are generally not mirrored...

Any way to edit DMA from a service screen? Now that the Voom satellite is no longer sending the DMA data to the voom receiver, is there any way to manually update the DMA in the recevier? Is there a service screen to do this? Thanks Ron

I also am a Dishnet sub. eBay has new HD Receivers (model 811) for $180 or so. Used are maybe in the $125 range. Anyone have info on those?

Voom receiver still receiving OTA I've been reading the threads about the Motorola Voom 550 used only for OTA. Here is my input. A friend had Voom service with a rented receiver. He converted to Comcast cable and it was installed at noon on Saturday 4/24/05. He unplugged (power and...

I know that a Voom receiver will work for OTA digital signals without being attached to a dish (I borrowed a 550 from a friend) My questions are: 1. Assuming the STB has been activated and not deactivated by Voom, how long will it work as a stand alone STB for OTA signals if it is not...
