Satellite feeds don't act like cable TV. You cannot just split the signal (for the reasons, see Why Splitters don't work). Either run a cable to the 301 from the outlet where it originally sat, or get the installer back in to add a new outlet where you now want the 301.

AJF - I have a graveyard as well. I'm actively trying to hold onto less, so keeping the 6000 for now is a very concious decision on my part. Good luck no matter what you decide, and enjoy the 921 when you do get one (I know you will)!

Keep it for now Although things have improved a bit, I still stand by this opinion. I needed the 6000, for example, to be able to keep watching the Superbowl during a spontaneous 921 reboot!

Don't believe in miracles! 921 locked up again... This time, no amount of rebooting is making the recordings & timers re-appear! :no I was about to send it in for the blue line fix, but now I'm not so sure I'd want the same one back!

It's a miracle! Thanks, Scott! OK, to be fair I must report the latest development... After a couple of pull-the-plug reboots, all the missing recordings & timers are back !? Good thing I didn't forget: "It's only TV." :D

More reasons why the 921 isn't ready to be your primary receiver Thanks to a spontaneous 921 reboot, I missed Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction! :D Just had to force a couple of reboots since the 921 would not playback anything properly (stuttering freezes of varying duration). Every...

Sorry, but this is one you'll never see. Even when ReplayTV had the "commercial skip" function (which I think they've since dropped), it recorded everything & auto-skipped commercials on playback. The main reason you'll never see this is because no DVR maker will risk the lawsuits sure to...

Do you have an HD Dish receiver today? Here's my advice...

1. 1394 active! 2. OTA bugs fixed. 3. LIL listings mapped to OTA channels. Hey WCS - What bird do you get from 97?

Yes, but what about an SW-64 on 110, 119 and one of the wings cascaded to a pair of SW21s on the other wing!?

Another crappy channel stealing bandwidth from the packages we pay for just to cram advertising down our throats... (Ashley or no Ashley.) ;)

Re: DISH Network Introduces Lowest Priced One-Stop Shop for mike123abc - I think we're saying the same thing:

Nice try, Jerry! :D According to the press release, the $600 is an upgrade to the HDTV system (811 + monitor).

Yes, I understand that. Just because I already have an HDTV (& 921 :D ) doesn't mean I'm not intrigued! If I could, I'd eliminate every standard definition TV from my entire house today. So, a bedroom HD (in a box ;) ) is one I might consider especially if I can get upgraded to DishPro...

Anyone catch the phrase "Offered to new and existing residential customers ..." Now, can any of the dealers here comment on what the installation includes? DishPro gear? Legacy adapters? ...

Is the $99 upgrade a trade-in deal?

7. OK, maybe I was too terse in describing this behavior. L1.42 software, 16x9 1080i component out: [code:1] Pgm Aspect Result ---------------------------- HD Normal OK HD Stretch OK HD Partial Zoom Missing HD Zoom Broken HD Gray...

Thanks, Justin.

Mainstreet - Do you have a similar breakdown for Free Dish? HD-in-a-box? TIA!

Scott - I believe the big difference with all the 8VSB tuners is how they handle multipath. This would show up as ghosting on analog channels, but instead shows up as "signal strength" variations. (I put "signal strength" in quotes since what these readouts all show is not actually...

Rob - This is why I can't recommend the 921 (with the current software) as a primary receiver. I have a lot of patience with it at the moment, but wouldn't ask the same of my wife (she's very supportive, but that's the very reason I try to keep things running smoothly for her). Besides...

1. Input format 2. Correct 3. OTA not required, 2 sat feeds are. Sorry, no splitter! Run that 2nd cable. :( 4. So far my experience is that when 2 tuners are recording, there's no way to view a 3rd. (You can have 2 tuners recording and view a previously recorded program. 5. True 6. True...

Sensitivity good. Stability bad. :) My 921 is able to pull in several channels I've been having a lot of trouble getting with the 6000. On the other hand, it will often lose all the OTA channels until I go back into the setup menu and force detection of one of the local digital channels...

Warning: strong opinions follow. (Flame retardant suit on!) Well, I won't do a detailed post here. (There's so much info already here at SatelliteGuys as well as at DBSTalk's DVR-921 Support Forum and general Dish Network DVR Discussion.) Instead, I'll boil down my opinion of the 921 to...

Well, I didn't post before it arrived 'cause I didn't want to jinx it. Picked up one that was sold here on the Sat Guys classifieds. Here's the short, bleary-eyed version: [list]- Arrived at dinnertime... Domestic tranquility dictated that I pause (the setup, not the PVR :) ) after...
