Well, I'd pay more for all the HD channels they can give us on the BUD. Hammer

I do not have anything to input on this problem because I am very new to the BUD club. But, I really think the type of information in the quote above needs to be put into the FAQ, along with any other pitfalls/quirks built-in to the various 4Dtv boxes. I can already tell someone like me, just...

Exactly my plan. Still waiting to see if the quality of E* HD will be restored and maintained. Hammer

Well, I tried it. There is a banner in Options that says press 9 for Videocypher, but when I do it just says must be on a videocypher channel to access those features... nearest channel is... please tune to... I got the Dish home and was surprised when I opened the feedhorn cover to find a...

I just got got the 920. I took a 13in Tv with me and verified the Options/Receiver ID was in tact before I handed over the $150. So the battery must be Ok to survive 6 monthes of sitting without power in his garage. It looks like it has a Yellow module in the back for some kind of auth card...

Good to hear PBS HD is there! Is that free? If I were rich enough, could I get a professional receiver that decodes DCII-combo/powervu/megapipe HD? Or is there also an authorization issue? Hammer

A little confusion on this. Does the 920 get analog/clear channels (as listed on Lynsat) without the the VCRS module? Thanks Hammer

Cool! Thanks for the quick answers. One more very important Q- I've read about the 920 dead battery issue :eek: Is there any way to test this receiver without hooking it up to a display? Or at least without hooking it up to an lnb/dish? Hammer

I found an 8ft dish in excellent condition, and a 4dtv 920 receiver (last used only 6 monthes ago). Take away for $150. Questions: 1. Is the 920 Okay to start with, then possibly go with 922+HD220 setup later? 2. I've read the 920 needs a VCII board to get analog- How do I identify this...
