    IT'S OFFICIAL NO FIREWIRE ON 921!

    This adds insult into the 5000 + Mod injury. Glad I did not "trade up" and actually sold off my 921 and other Dish gear. You can fool some of the people, some of the time. This gives cable a definite advantage (and there are DVRs with firewire). It also gives DirecTV a definite advantage...

    Dish vs. Comcast in MA - thinking of feeding the PIG

    I think the lower tier SD channels are comparable, ie bad. The digital channels (300 & above) look better with less variability of Dish (I don't know the algorithms they use to figure one channel deserves more bandwidth than another). Comcast does have more HD than Dish, including Max...

    Tech Chat Recap

    It should be 10x easier than timer based recording. I assume this means that the OTA channels will finally have info like DirecTV APG has had for 2+ years?

    Blue Lines in Video on 921

    I think the display is only capable of component or DVI, if DVI is active component isn't. If DVI is unplugged, component works. I think results are heavily dependent on set used, e.g., on my plasma component is better & w/o artifacts mentioned in this bug, and better primarily for...

    SW 64 Problem

    I had issue too, did the power cut off & on, but the problem in Switch Test was having a diplexer on one of the outbound receiver lines (affected even a line w/o a diplexer or some alien phenomenon). I actually order and received a new 64 from Mark at DishDepot before I figured out the diplexor...

    Will I regret it??

    You'll always have buyer's remorse after spending this much for a box, but less bugs, a real OTA guide, and Firewire turned on it will be worth it to me. In the mean time, it is a decent Sat recorder with potential. If you want fire & forget and a two year tested guide for OTA, wait on the...

    Basic questions I want to ask about 921?

    It doesn't support name based recording, never mind intelligent named based recording that doesn't duplicate record already recorded episodes.

    Dish 508 having sound & picture breakups.

    It appears that the disk must be corrupted. If I ditch a lot of stored programming it records fine then has the problem for all subsequent recordings. Is there a support phone I can call to get a replacement w/o trying a series of 20 inane and not working diagnostic step with an uniformed...

    The Joy that is the 921

    921 Dilema?

    I am happy with the 921, if only because I have Voom for OTA & non-Dish channels. That said if FW is not implimented I will be fit to be tied & I think there is a dastardly plot to delay until after the Apr cut off for FCC. I am assuming Mark would give you the $50 towards something...

    921 Component vs. DVI

    I could find the adjustment on the 811 but no can find on 921. I know I'm probably just not looking, but based on comparisons may disconnect DVI and just leave on component. The SD upconversion looks better on the 811 as well. Tim

    921 Component vs. DVI

    I am actually finding the SD material in HD mode looks worse. I may go back to component or do a kludge macro to go to SVideo for lower def. Disappointing. Also, does anyone else have a left shift on DVI or a way to correct it? Tim
