No, It is not programmed to handle FTA at all.

heh, I was just about to post this, I recieved the same email... ;)

You will have to rescan for channels.. if it does not show up in the scan, then the signal is not strong enough for the Voom box to decode

Well, I for one am canceling my Voom service from E*, until they launch the Voom21.. I have seen the same concerts, Red Bull events, and horror flics over and over for the last few weeks.. until they start adding some content to their existing 10, and include the other 11, sorry E*, but you dont...

Well, it helps that the Xbox is a propritary x86 based PC.. I am sure that some of this can be done, but it will require either major modifications, or a complete software re-write.. Installing Linux on an xbox is a complete rewrite of both the BIOS and the OS... If someone wants to take...

Where is this from? I do not see that method on my website.... EDIT: oh wait, I see that.. I dont know if thats is all that legit.. but it really cant hurt to try! I will give it a wirl later, but I am not setting my hopes very high.

To take that anology further... The processing chip/electronics that decodes the magnetic data for Betamax, can also decode the magnetic data from VHS tapes, but does not mean that the Betamax player can play VHS tapes.. Just because a few parts can do it, does not mean the quantified...

What personal attacks? :confused: I do not see any here, I am stating facts on the hardware and software capabilities. In no way have I attacked or demeaned you here.... the only thing that I could possibly see as a "personal attack" was my statement that this is your personal opinion, and not...

In regards to the signal meter there, I notice that it says "Signal Level" not "Signal Quality".. now, this could just be a verbage issue, but since there is a strong Ku signal on E3, it may just be reading the flat out signal level, not actually locking onto the data stream, or even having a...

For those here who know what I am doing, I am all for this kind of techinical discussion. But just stating opinion as fact is the big problem I have with this. (such as the OP saying that it can recieve E* programming... that is his opinion, not based on facts)

You are absolutely right, Nagravision would be unnecessary for FTA, however this thread's title states that this box CAN recieve Dish Networking programming, which is all Nagravision. Doubtful, dev kits for stuff like this is usually property of the manufacturer (in this case Motorola).. it...

The other issue that I forgot to mention is decryption.. There is no Nagravision CAM in the DSR550.. There are two CAMs in this unit: XC420061-006 Digicipher II CAM MB87F2011 Videoguard CAM I suppose a complete re-write of the software may allow FTA DVB, but without either using a...

Do you have proof that the chipset is wired to handle DVB-S that noone else has? Again, I will say that the chips are capable of it, but may not be physically wired for it, since the board was not designed to do it.. That, and the fact that your arguement hinges on software that has not...

Of course the chipset is capable of it.. the BCM7035RKPB3 is used in a number of HD Set top boxes, including the Motorola DCTs, the Scientific Atlanta Explorers, and even the Dish Network/DirecTV HD boxes. DVB basically just means Transport Streams, or MPEG2 broadcast streams. Just about any...

I think this thought stems from the DSR500, the Starchoice High-def reciever. It is nearly identical in function to the DSR550, but has different software, and cannot be subscribed to Starchoice as it is. The other major difference between the DSR500 and 550 is that the 550 has an ATSC OTA...

Yes, Digital Locals are via OTA only, which the box is capable of, but you will need an additional antenna.

I am doing my best with this, and I made some calls to motorola for help.. hopefully we will have an easy solution.. Right now I am still working on proof of concept.

I be Voomin here too :)

I had to threaten to cancel service before it was even installed.. then they finally conceded to give me my free dish.. I really do not understand why they would not give you the hardware needed to view your programming selections, and they fought tooth in nail to charge me that $100.. Its...

Well, E* refuses to give me a free dish for 61.5, and they wont reuse mine.. Screw them, I have talked to 4 people, been hung up on twice (first time by accident, as he was trying to help, and was during a transfer), and I am now waiting on hold for cancellations.. No-one there knows...

For those people who buy boxes that are new-in-box (like mine) or for previously authorized boxes that become "de-authorized", this will become important. I believe I will have to get my hands on a authorized box as well, so I have a point of reference.

...

This is Development, in its most basic form ;) It started as a discussion in the "Voom should enable it" which they did, for boxes that have already been authorized. Now that the Voom system can no longer authorize boxes, a way to circumvent this will have to be found. Especially for those who...
