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...

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...

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?

Not trying to highjack the thread, but I am choosing between ValueElectronics and my local GoodGuys. GG has 40hr DirecTivo + 2 basic receivers for free + $50 MIR. The h/w is RCA. Any reason to go with ValueElectronics?

Is there any DirecTV version of upcoming E* DPP44 switch? I'd like to have a DirecTIVO in a location with only one cable run. There's no way to run a second feed there due to configuration of the wall.
