    PocketDish Owners, Please Help!

    I bought the AV700E due to the built-in stand advantage. The viewing angles for the screen are quite limited. I also had read the reviews indicating this and also that the AV500E sports good viewing angles. Resting in its case, the AV700E still fits in a front pocket of a pair of slacks...

    [B]L2.92 enables PocketDish!!!!![/B]

    re: directory structure. The Pocketdish filesystem on my AV700E reports as FAT32 filesystem type, a Microsft Filesystem as I recall. Didn't look for hidden files when connected to my computer. Now that the 522/625 can finally transfer via USB, I may never hook it up again. Mainly was...

    POCKETDISH and 522/625 L2.59 L2.90 L2.91

    PocketDish Followup: The halting/jerky picture on the TV while transferring files to the pocketdish has improved, maybe one 1/2 second halt every 5 minutes or so. Night/Batch Update: moved my update time from 4am to 4pm. This clearly helped with the batch overnight file...

    POCKETDISH and 522/625 L2.59 L2.90 L2.91

    re: phone line and pocketdish Good question. (re: phone line and pocketdish). I'm not sure exactly what middle of the night operation caused my pocketdish transfers to stop - maybe it is the nightly phone call....I'll unplug it tonight and try again, but I'm pretty sure I awoke at 4am when...

    Recordings on disabled 508.

    The 508 should make a good offliner as noted above by Charise. Mine is active, but I've taken it for extended travel to watch pre-recorded DVR events and had the same experience - it works great after a minute or so of "aquiring signal", just press the DVR/PVR button. In the rumor mill, I've...

    [B]L2.92 enables PocketDish!!!!![/B]

    Yes!!! can't wait. I've been checking my 625 since yesterday for the new L2.92! Any 625 Owners get it yet? VERY good news on a potentially depressing day for pocketdsk owners today when Microsft unvails their "Secret" origami project portable - not that it makes pocketdsh obsolete, just...

    Why did they have to call it 622?

    OTA 942 Cannot be turned off? Does this mean the non-mpeg4s, particularily the 942 I'm considering, cannot have the OTA HD tuner turned off? There is no "HD-enablement" fee on the 942 for those without HD packs, so I'm thinking of getting one for free OTA and to support my pocketdsh.

    DVR Fee Waived on Annual Programming?

    Long -Term Annual Pre-pay: no DVR Waive LEASED For what it's worth, I've pre-paid for 6 or more years with Basic 60 or 120 Channel Packages for the "one month free". No DVR or other fees waived ever (I currently lease a 625 and own a no-fee 508. The worst part of pre-pay is that you can't...
