Even being a native Russian speaker I barely understood you, so don't expect many answers :) If Corbina uses Windows Media Player it is possible to use Media Extender boxes (XBOX 360 is one of them) to stream video/audio from PC to TV. You can also connect PC video output directly to TV. The...

In infrastructure network (with an access point) ESSID is the same thing as SSID. They can't have different names. BSSID is simply MAC address of the WiFi interface of the access point.

The TIVO was actually compressing data while recording, since it had analog inputs only. This compression could be done with different quality settings (better quality = more space needed). DVRs record the original signal which is compressed at E* (D*) facility, therefore no quality settings.

It costs $325!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

RGB input takes analog signal. DVI-I (which has DVI-D and DVI-A together) has the same analog signal over DVI-A pins so a simple adapter works. HDMI only has digital signal, therefore only HDMI to DVI-D adapters are available for a reasonable price. To convert HDMI to DVI-A a DAC is needed. This...

Channels? Does anyone know their channel lineup?

What is $9.99 fee for? Is this some sort of a lease fee?

When did they drop this requirement? When I leased 811, the lease agreement stated that I must maintain HD pack + AT60 or higher.

For the record, the slowest 802.11b/g speed is 1Mbps. And this is the physical link speed. The actual data speed would be around 700 kbps in case of no interference. If there are many access points around, or interference from 2.4MHz cordless phones, the data transfer can go below 100kbps. I...

Let's assume you have leased a car. In the middle of the lease someone comes up with a new gas (MPEG-4) forcing you to get a new car. You, as a customer, don't see any benefit from the new gas. Would it be fair to have you pay for the upgrade. E* is going to raise HD programming prices to cover...

E* must have both Voom and Voom-less packages they move Voom from 61.5 to 110/119. Tons of customers can't even see 61.5 to begin with. 129 is not an option either (unless, of course, E* upgrades every HD customer to Dish1000, similar to D* deal with their 5LNB dish).

Is D* transmitting both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 version of the same channels? If so, then why? I don't see a point.

Does the subj. setup require 36" dish for 95 satellite AND 5LNB Dish for MPEG-4 HD? Putting all this stuff onto my roof looks too scary :shocked

Hmmm... It the HMC requires 4 :eek: coax feeds from the switch, the new setup would require new wires, unless HMC can be left in a closet/attic. I don't understand why D* can't put all switching/tuning logic into a switch and have only 1 coax run from the switch to every receiver and HMC. HMC...

Yes you can (so does everyone else) if you move close enough. If you move to a typical viewing distance (7-8ft) you won't be able to see the difference on 42" display. You will see difference on 50" and this is the main reason they don't make 50" ED plasmas.

To all 42" HD advocates. The issue was been beaten up to death on AVS forum. From 7-8 ft viewing distance you won't see any difference between ED and HD TV showing 720p or 1080i signal. 50" (or larger) is another story and nobody makes 50" EDTV plasma sets. I agree 100% with Robert here...

Unless $250 is a deposit which is refunded upon return, I'll wait to see how it works before jumping in. Also, does $250 deal include installation?

It works (likely via component video) because all parts of the signal (audio, luminance, and chrominance) are separate, thus hiding all difference between PAL and NTSC. Virtually any TV would sync on 60 and 50Hz and accomodate difference in scan lines (625 PAL/525 NTSC). You might run into...

It won't work via RF at all. It might work via s-video and separate audio. There are solutions, but new NTSC TV would be cheaper. :) PAL uses different frequency for audio component and somewhat different scheme to encode color. Even if you find channel which matches (PAL channel is wider...

Are you willing to bet on the no cost replacement? If the OP installs D* now, he/she will not get ANY replacement until 1 year commitment is over. Afterwards he'l likely end up paying $$ to replace the box.

Does anyone know if new NDS box requires Ethernet from the mother station to each TV or it uses coax?

At this time I won't buy any HD receiver, period. We might not get any new MPEG-2 HD channels. With switch to MPEG-4 looming, investing $750. :shocked :eek:

You see people hate, whine, complain here simply because if everything is fine, they enjoy watching TV, not writing to the forum. D* forums have 5 times less traffic because their h/w just works. Programming and install is discussed there. Now, D* is going to have HD locals, HMO DVR, so no...

There are 2 things which mainly keep me with Dish. Multiple DVRs per account and TNT-HD. Cox cable allows only 1 DVR per account and does not carry TNT-HD. Yes, Cox is more expensive (~10/mo, comparing to AT120, but with a few more channels worth watching), but it would be with HD-DVR, and...

Yes, I have checked it and barrel I had to use as well :) Well, after I disconnected all lines from the receivers and connected 522 first it worked! :shocked
