    DSR-4200V = Brick?

    Yes. That's bad. Don't call NET. They wouldn't authorize your receiver anyway as it's doubtful they do that for anyone but local affiliates. However, in this case they couldn't even if they wanted to. Therefore you calling them could serve no good and only do harm as they might decide they'd...

    Got a DSR-4200 today

    I don't know if doing an authorization reset would be a good idea. In fact, if it we me, I think I'd avoid that at all cost because I fear that it might possibly cause the unit to lose it's previously authorized status. If I recall using my 4200, there were 2 different menu items. One was...

    Dish vs Coolsat case

    No. This is incorrect. FP is not FTA. FP in encrypted. It's more than just a matter of flags or registers set in the receiver. The stream is actually encrypted. If you have a device like the skywalker/genpix device which will tune DCII signals you'll see that the FP streams are actually...

    DSR-410 vs. DSR-4200

    A primestar remote can be used. Other General instruments or motorola remote may work as well, but I'm not sure.

    AC3 Converter

    The description doesn't say anything about AC3. It just says it's a digital to analog converter. That would make it just a DAC and not capable of decoding AC3. That fact that it only has stereo outputs would also support this as most AC3 decoders would have mutlichannel outputs. Also it would...

    Technotrend S2-1600's are now availalble.

    I have the 8920 (regular PCI) and so far I've been quite pleased with it. One of the features of it is it can be used with Tsreader though it only works in a round about kind of way. To use it with Tsreader, you have to also have DVBdream installed along with a special driver for it. You also...

    Technotrend S2-1600's are now availalble.

    I agree and have had the same experience. After being dissapointed by both the tt-3600 and the tt-3200, there's no way I'd recommend another technotrend product to anyone. I think they were just first. The technotrends products I mentioned above were the first dvb-s2 products you could get...

    I'm Really Annoyed at Dish Network!

    Bingo! This is the only result any kind of attempt to "do something about it" can possibly have. Sure you can attempt to sue them perhaps if you find a laywer dumb enough to take your case, but in the end the judge will likely laugh you out of his court room. You see in this hobby we're often...

    DTE-7150 programming

    Be careful. Some of them have HSI input only, which makes them only useful with the older Digicipher II receivers like the DSR-4200 and DSR-4400. I think the models with ASI were kinda rare or at least more rare than the ones that only had HSI.

    Best USB FTA for Laptop or PC?

    If you buy the tt3600 you'll regret it. I speak from experience here. It has a serious limitation with regard to high data rate feeds. That's because it's a data rate limitation and not a symbol rate limitation. That means the modulation comes into play. On a Qpsk feed you'll not encounter...

    RTN is back

    No,the satellites in the same location it has always been. You either have some variation in the aiming of your dish or your experiencing interference from signals on adjacent satellites. The interfering signals may not be active all the time, which may explain why the sweet spot seems to move...

    Unity 4422

    But, did you factor in the cost of commercial receiver with ASI out or a $500 ASI PCI output card? You see that's the big piece of the puzzle your missing here. Now, if these units had L band inputs then it would have been a fantastic deal, but since they're ASI in only that significantly...

    Unity 4422

    You guys do know there are other ways to get 4:2:2 SD decoding right? Reportedly the Popcorn hour media players will play 4:2:2 SD. The MyHD ota tuner cards will also playback recorded 4:2:2 SD content as will VLC. 4:2:2 HD is more of a problem, but a modern PC can handle it. These boxes are SD...

    don't see this one often...

    Yes, but you have to understand that with commercial receivers like this many things are optional and the original purchaser orders them from the manufacturer with only the "options" they want and/or need. After looking at the manual you linked to, you'll see the location of "RF In" connector on...

    don't see this one often...

    For that price you wouldn't lose much anyway but you might want to inquire as to whether these receivers have L band inputs of if perhaps they're ASI only. If they're ASI only you'll need another receiver that has L band input and ASI out and you'll need to feed the ASI out from it into the ASI...

    Chip speed for TT3200

    Honestly, I'd be more concerned about your choice of DVB-S card than your CPU speed. At this point in time most of the newer CPUs are fast enough to provide pretty good performance as long as you don't select something on the very bottom end performance wise. Have you purchased the TT3200 yet...

    dvb world dvb-s2

    Actually the signing of drivers has nothing to do with "Hackers" or security. It has to do with stability and compatibility. "Signed" drivers have been submitted to microsoft for testing to verify that the driver plays by all the rules and conforms to all the standards microsoft requires them...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    I think this is likely a function of the drivers and/or hardware. The FEC rate and pilot information is apparently automatically determined with the TT3200. To be honest the technotrend DVB-S2 tuners are not the best DVB-S2 devices in my personal opinion. Not because of this reason, as I can...

    Protest Luken for Ruining Equity

    I don't know if Luken is responsible for what happened to Equity or not, but to anyone who's been paying attention the handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time now. That is Equity has been slowly but surely going down the tubes financially. I'd say it's pretty obvious their days are...

    Red Notice on RTN Channels

    Don't you guys remember they sold RTN to the former CEO Luken? I believe they had something like 6 months to buy it back or something of that sort. Looks like today may be the end of that time period. I think that's why their creditors were upset with them and attempting to foreclose. They knew...

    Dish Network trying to kill Pansat and Legal FTA

    Indeed that's true but there are some things that aren't speculation. One of those is that this "survey" is being done by the plaintiff for the purpose of collecting evidence for their lawyers to use against Pansat. The second is that a lawyers job is solely to win a case for their client and to...

    Dish Network trying to kill Pansat and Legal FTA

    Most of the people using them illegally are at least smart enough to know they're doing something illegal and thus are not likely to respond at all for fear they will be incriminating themselves. So, I don't think many of them will respond. Of course I'm sure there will probably be some that are...

    Dish Network trying to kill Pansat and Legal FTA

    Here's my opinion on these "surveys". I think if you get one you should NOT under any circumstances respond. Why? First of all you don't have to and shouldn't waste your time doing so, but more importantly it could be bad for our hobby. If they notice that a lot of people watch FTA content (and...

    DVB-S/S2 and ATSC Combo Cards

    You should still consider picking up a MyHD card even if you get some other Atsc tuner card. It's true there is no BDA support for the MyHD and there never will be as the BDA architecture doesn't support hardware decoders which is what the MyHD is built around, but BDA is not the be all end all...

    New show on RTN starting tomorrow

    Remember, Equity isn't exactly in a very good financial situation right now, and that may even be an understatement. This programming is cheap as they probably already have these people on staff and are paying them anyway. So, this is probably being done to reduce their cost as things get...
