I had not used my SC DSR-505 in several weeks as I redoing my input switches - and attempted it for the first time in several weeks last night. It was never lost power (or signal) that I am aware of. I am running it via YPbPr to the HDTV. For whatever reason, the 16:9 HD Material is now...

Its that time of the year where birds from all over the USA start their trek home. It appears that since I have so many dishes up now on the roof, I am now rated on the AAA places to stop on the way with nice clean dishes to crap on - I guess I have good restroom facilities :( They love all...

I had a 2/8 install date. They called that morning and said they had no equipment and would not get a shipment until 2/22. Curious has anyone in the immediate LA area (310/213/818 area codes - not Ventura or Orange County) has had a HR20 and/or HD install since 2/1 or so - or one coming up in...

Can someone please tell me which Motorola HD-STB that FIOS uses when one does not use the FIOS HD-DVR? Does this have a firewire and DVI/HDMI port? I have searched the thread and it seems every post I could find referenced the HD DVR - not the standalone STB.

I know people in LA could receive Voom off 61W if you had a view of it very low on the horizon (18 degrees elevation if memory serves correctly). Can anyone tell me what size dishes Voom used in Southern California or does anyone here have a E* DBS Dish pointed at 61W from Southern California...
