    DTVPAL Remote Address Problem

    Looks like the DTVPAL remote also will control my 508. I tried changing the remote address of the 508 to "4" but it still controls it. I understood that DTVPAL was on "1". Does anybody know what the story is and how to get the DTVPAL not to control the 508?

    3rd HDTV

    I am thinking of getting my 3rd HDTV for bedroom. Have two hooked up to 622 already. One close by with component and fiber optic sound. Another 30 ft away by HDMI. Third one would be 60 feet away in another room. Realize that these would all have to look at same channel if they come out of...

    Multiple Recordings On 622

    Sorry if I am out of date on this one but I am getting multiple recordings on New Programs. For example, Rescue Me and the Bronx is Burning each recorded multiple times even though in the past they would only record once when ONLY NEW EPISODES was checked. This happens when episodes are back...

    HDMI Split Screen On TV

    I have my 622 connected to 2 HD TVs. One through component one through HDMI. The one with HDMI has a split screen. Picture the screen divided in half and one half is sliding relative to the other so that they do not align relative to each other. Does this sound like: 1. My TV? 2...

    Pocket Dish Vs Archos 604

    No new Pocket Dish on horizon? Does the Archos 604 do the same thing as the AV500E? Big question is downloading from Dish DVR 622. I assume you can use USB on PD and cut recording time substantially. Can you do same with 604 or is it real time?

    Fox Hd

    Have been watching World Series with 921. According to my understanding this is suppose to be in 720p but the picture looks terrible compared with the other OTA stations. ABC is also 720P and it looks great. Are all 720ps not created equal?

    811 Lost 1080i On DVI

    When I first hooked up 811 it was with DVI. Recently my TV wont recognize the 1080i signal. If I change 811 to 480p output the TV will recognize 480p through DVI cable. If I hook up 811 with component cables the TV will recognize both 1080i and 480p depending on what I have 811 set at...

    Ota Recordings

    It seems that OTA recordings work for some 921s and not for others. Does anybody have a proceedure or secret to follow for OTA recordings? My 921 turns on and it acts like it is recording. When I go to channel it has REC on it. When I check in menu after time it shows 0 min with no...

    Sd And 921

    I now have my 921 and 501 hooked up. I have the HD of 921 through component in digital Input 1 and the SD in through S video for both units going through INPUTS 3 and 4 of my Hitachi 65S700. It is obvious to me that the SD signal on the 921 is much worse than that of the 501. Is this inherent...

    NEW 921s

    My supplier told me he had a 921 for me. He assured me it had been reworked with the problems corrected. When I received it, it had software version L052 and gave me most of the problems indicated in these forums. He promised to ship me another one. Just a flag for those of you getting 921s...

    Possibility Of 922

    What is the likelihood of a 922 being developed. I assume that this would be like the 522 but have HD and a bigger hard drive? Does it make sense to get the flawed 921 or to wait until some other box that might be 1 year away?

    I have a Legacy QUAD. My local dealer told me that he was told that this would not work with the 921 and you would need a DISHPRO. Yet he said that he had used a 921 with his Legacy QUAD and it seemed to work fine. Anybody have insight into this?

    Equipment Disposal Advice

    What is the best way to dispose of 4 Direct receivers and 1 dish? We tried hooking up and couldnt get signal. Long story but we wound up with the equipment anyhow. Is there a market for this on ebay? Concern is these things are so cheap (since you can almost get them free by signing up) that...

    Fuzziest On Hitachi With Dish

    I just installed a Hitachi 65S700 in anticipation of getting a 921 (when they start shipping those again) and have a problem with the signal from my current 501 to the TV. I have checked it both through the co-ax out and S video out and the picture is not very sharp. I run these same signals...
