That's just it, I'd love to reverse engineer it, but I cant' even enable the remote access on my account, because I don't have a 722. I feel confident I'd be able to sniff out how its done if I could trigger the button presses from my phone (I'm figuring the protocol would be the same between...

I've been with dish for many years, and do like it. I use it primarily with SageTV though, and never interact with the boxes directly. I do have an interesting question though. Dish seems to have rolled out, as part of their Sling add-on to the 722 boxes, a remote control app for iOS and...

So, apparently the new ethernet/http interface of the DirecTV boxes offers a lot of interesting options (especially for HTPC/PC DVR users). Most importantly, it opens up a way to control the STB via ethernet, as opposed to serial. Dish, on the other hand, doesn't even have the serial option...

^^^ What he said ^^^ SageTV takes all the advantages of the R5000, and a DVR, puts them together with a media server, whole house integration, and completely customizable EVERYTHING.

Those component capture cards also do no encoding either. So you are looking at many many gigabytes of info per hour. Basically, no real practical use. As mentioned earlier, best option for satellite -> PC is the R5000-HD.

I just wish I could convince Charter to carry the channel in my area (Riverside, CA). I am really regretting my decision to cancel Dish Network. Of course, I really SHOULD get DirectTV so I can watch EVERY game... sooo expensive though...

I did some research and it looks like i need to use a DPP reciever along with the legacy 6000, so looks like I'd have to keep my 942, just for power... seems silly... maybe i'll just put up with the 942 until my contract ends...

The interface of the 942 DVR is just very awkward. I am used to using SageTV as my DVR, and made the mistake of thinking that the 942 would be similar, but handle HD. It's not that I can't figure it out, I would just prefer not to have to. SageTV is much more capable and straight forward...

I recently got Dish Network service installed at my house (Used to have Voom back in the good ol' days). I thought I was doing the right thing when i decided to get the 942. I have been so unimpressed with the DVR features of this box, I am looking to downgrade to a 6000 and use 169time to...

not entirely true, there are different RAID modes, RAID 1 mirrors data, RAID 0 stripes data across multiple physical drives, resulting in one larger virtual drive (which is also twice as fast). I was referring to using a RAID 0 array, but alas, i went searching, and all i can find for inline...

is it possible to replace the harddrive in the 942 with something larger? I think I've seen transparent RAID adapters out there that connect to an IDE interface... this would provide expandability, would it not?

I am adding an OTA to my 942 Dishpro install, i have a couple diplexers lying around, so i am connecting inline after the dishes. I have noticed a definate drop in OTA reception though, and may have to go to a dedicated line for the OTA. Disappointing, as i was happy about only having one line...

My wife was talking to a local dish/directv installer today, and he said that he got an email from dish today stating that dish would be buying back the old obsolete voom stb's (I think he said $200/box). Have any of you installers on here heard this rumor? This would be awesome if it was...

Hey all, I am a Voomer of about a year, and am now looking at shifting to DISH, so I can still get my fix. I have looked at the programming packages offered, but was a little confused about the actual deal for Voom customers. Anyone know what the deal actually includes? I am interested in the...
