Hi,
I have a few questions about this PVR, bear with me a minute while I explain.
First off, I am NOT a "gamer", I do not own or use game machines, at all. I bought this to record from Dish...
I am a subscriber to Dish, I get AT250 and a few of the premium channels.
For the past year and a half I have had a 2tb disk on my VIP211k and I had recorded a LOT of stuff.
A few weeks ago my HD dish (I use three separate and very large dishes, loooooong story) had lost alignment because the ground dried out and the dish drooped.
So I needed to take my tuner outside to the dish and realign the dish. I went to the tuner and entered the menu utilities and told that to remove the disk from the system.
I followed the on screen prompts and did what the tuner told me to do. I powered everything down, took the tuner outside, re-aligned the dish, took the tuner back inside and reconnected everything.
The disk was never recognized by the tuner again.
I tried and tried everything imaginable to get the tuner to recognize the disk. Nothing would work at all. I even plugged it into a little laptop I have that runs Mint Linux.
In the past, out of curiosity I plugged the disk into that laptop and it recognized it and I could browse the contents however the contents are encrypted and I couldn't do anything other than view proprietary, encrypted files.
I reconnected the disk to the tuner and it saw it just fine and I was able to use it for more than a year.
So, after losing a LOT of stuff I really wanted to keep, I got MAD!
I decided this would never happen again. Everything else I own, I can make backup copies of. But not my Dish disk! And if there was ever a reason to back it up, this was the reason!
So I went and purchased a very small disk, the smallest I could find, 160gb. I wish I could have found one even smaller but this was about the bottom. It was only $29 so that's fine.
I also bought the Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus from Amazon.
The reason I bought the smallest disk possible was to prevent me from stockpiling a bazillion recordings, again. It also goes through the mandatory daily disk check in a matter of minutes. With the 2tb disk it was taking TWO HOURS every morning. It was pretty much full though.
The reason I bought this specific PVR is because it was the only model that came with a Mac OS X app AND it can do HDMI pass-through. Or so they claim. It also was the only one that came with all the cables to connect to ~anything~.
I installed the app on my Mac and that part of it seems to work just fine. I like that I can click on stuff in Titan and schedule recordings however, it does not have the IR blaster option
and I have to also create a timer in the tuner to auto-tune the show. The bad this is, while it's doing it's thing, I can not press anything on the remote control because it will also record any info pop-ups that the tuner would display onscreen.
I also have to cause the tuner to auto-tune the channel rather than record the channel because it will often record the channel in the background while it plays a local OTA channel on screen.
So here's my real problem with it. They claim that the device will record via HDMI pass-through. Ok, so I tried that. Not so much, no worky-worky...
What happens when I put the Hauppauge recorder inline between the Dish tuner and my TV is that the video plays just fine but on the TV, there's a horrific sputtering noise that is unbearable and makes it totally impossible to use in this way. I tried all sorts of different setups and different cables but it was always the same horrible noise. However, I did try to make some test recordings while connected in this way and they came out just fine. The video was great and the audio was great too. So as a recorder, it did as it was advertised to do. But it just would not pass the audio through without ruining it at the TV end.
Is this due to something Dish is doing to prevent people from trying to do what I tried to do? I know they want you to be locked into their little garden, that they don't want you to be able to take recordings and save them in the way YOU want to save them, that they don't allow you to back up your disks to recover from disaster. I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing something to prevent recording on your terms.
What I ended up having to do is connect the Hauppauge recorder to the component video of the on the VIP211k which is limited to 1080i/60. But as I understand it, Dish broadcasts only in "HD Lite" and that there are no 1080p broadcasts anywhere in the US anyway, everything in the US is either 720p or 1080i so connecting to the component shouldn't be an issue.
For audio, I used the red laser wire, I can't ever remember what it's called, optical something, it's the little fiber wire with a red light.
Is there any way to use the HDMI pass through on D* or is it just forbidden by them?
The other question is about recording and bit rates. The Hauppauge app has a lot of options to select when recording.
They are, using variable rate in the kbps range,
1. Good - 5 to 7
2. Better - 7 - 9
3. Best - 9 -10
4. Insanely Good - 14 - 14
Of course the faster it goes, the more it burns up disk.
Ultimately I will end up editing out the commercials and scaling them down from 1080i/60 to 720p/24. Doing that will save disk space. But I want to maintain a balance between the best possible quality but still keep a focus on saving disk space..
Here's some info I took from a recording log.

What would be the suggested bit rate to record using the Hauppauge PVR?
I have searched high and low but I can not find anywhere that tells what bit rate Dish Network transmits their HD content.. I mean, are they using a low bit rate? If they are using a low bit rate then it's my thinking that I won't gain anything by recording in a higher bit rate than they transmit, right? Like if they are only using 3.5kbps for HD(lite) then it would not help me to record it at 5kbps or higher, right?
In other works, if they are using 3.5kbps I could set it for variable bit rate between 3.5 to 5kbps and still get a good quality recording. That's what I'm thinking.
I don't really know the working of Dish equipment as they have a "hands off" policy and don't allow people to explore or peek inside what they are doing.
I am a professional photographer, I own a Canon EOS 5D Mark II so I know about image compression and how BAD it is. I shoot and work in RAW mode so that I can always have the very best results.
I only use jpg when I publish stuff online for others to see because most people can't view RAW images, they are very large and most people wouldn't know the difference or care anyway. But I do.
I want to have good video recordings but I know very little about Dish technical and this new Hauppauge PVR, well it's new to me. My thing is still photography, I don't have a whole lot of knowledge about video. Except watching them. I have a LOT of experience with that..
Any advice would be appreciated!

Yes, and no... If I plug ONLY the Hauppauge into the D* tuner, it will record audio and video just fine. BUT, it will not pass through the audio when I plug my TV in.
When I plug in the TV to create a pass-through situation, the recording still comes out just fine but the audio coming out of the TV is utterly ruined, it "sputters" loudly and you can not listen to it. The video on the TV looks fine though.
Well, I can't really do this because my system is a little weird. The VIP211K feeds into an HDMI 3 to 1 switch. That feeds into a 1 to 4 splitter.
With the switch I can I can select which video source I want to see. That goes to a 4 way splitter so that it then will display on all the TV's in the house at the same time.
I have never had any problems with this configuration. When I tried to insert the Hauppauge into it all and it didn't work, I thought maybe it maybe have to do with the switch or the splitter.
So I tried putting it in before the switch, then between the switch and the splitter then between the splitter and the TV in my office. No luck..
Then I tried putting it straight in the middle between the satellite and the TV in my office, without the switch or splitter in it at all. Still no..
So it seems that the Dish system does not like the Hauppauge trying to record through the HDMI.
Well, that's ok, I just hooked it to the component and optical on the tuner and that works fine. The HDMI circuit remains the way it was before and works just fine.
Oh, and as for some sort of IR blaster thing, I'm open to suggestions! Is there one I can buy that plugs into my Mac? In the setup there is an option for using an external channel changer. ???
?
I tried to use the auto-tune on something last night and while it did work, for some reason it didn't record audio. So I've decided that I'll have the tuner actually record to disk then play that back into the tuner so that in case the Hauppauge doesn't record properly I can try again and again until I get it right then I can delete the file from the Dish disk.

As you may have noticed we are doing a Fund Raiser for SatelliteGuys!
As many of you know I have been paying for a majority of the operation of the site out of my own pocket for awhile now. Now looking at things we have a number of renewals coming up that I could use some help with. These renewals include the license renewal for our Forum Software, Renewal of a number of our add on's the site uses, renewal of domain names etc.
I have set a goal of $400.00 - any extra that comes in will just go to fund the operations of the site. None of the money will go to me (I tried BuyMeACoffee a few months ago, and they denied me saying they do not do business with Satellite Piracy sites... which we are not... hell we host the beta programs for both DISH and DIRECTV here...)
Anyways... if you would like to help out please click the link below.

I planned on removing it today, but then my fathers car broke down and I had to drive him all around to get his stuff done. Then I had a doctors appointment after that which was annoying...
Dr asks me if I have had any changes, so I tell him something wrong with me that started a month or so ago and his reply back is, that it sucks to get old... I hate that. Why ask me. if your going to come back with a smart ass answer.
Anyays I hope to get rid of Tapatalk tomorrow.
And we had more people donate today, thank you! The extra money is going to future expenses since things like add ons don't expire at the same time.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU AGAIN!

Tapatalk has been removed.
I have added a new feature which is a work in progress called "Social Feed" which displays the forums Facebook style. Its nice for people who like that, but needs work. But i have been watching this one for awhile and the author is being really responsive to suggestions and adding them. So if you have any please let me know and I can pass them along.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.
For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)
Thanks for your understanding.

So I have recently setup Indoor OTA due to drop to Local from Dish, and found out reason why I have such bad signal is my Monitor now none of cable for my monitor near OTA or it cable going to TV, but the TV right above my Monitor maybe not even a foot.
If i have 3 to 2 bars with monitor off said channel for most part of perfectly watchable, but as soon my monitor is ON (show image of desktop or what ever) OTA going to TV halved that 3 to 2 bars become 1 and 2 if I lucky and channels start scrambling alot, and depending on what is being shown on monitor it might out right give no signal, and I can easily restore singal to being bad if change what show on monitor or bring back 3 to 2 bars if I turn monitor off or let it to to standby mode.
I have already disconnect every cable on TV except the OTA cable leaving just that so it not those cable. the Power cable for monitor and DP to DVI cable the monitor is using no where near that OTA cable either.
Any idea on how to fix this? moving my monitor isnt exactly an option neither is moving the tv and moving the OTA to other side room even with long cable dont fix this issue.
I have one those Leaf MoHu antennas 11x3 ones, I had same issue with one gateway mohu antennas the older one too

Do you have any splitters or combiners in between the antenna and TV? That can cause issues, especially indoors.
I would get that antenna into the attic or outside if at all possible.

Well, it's grounded up to the Surge Protector anyways ... but if not 3rd prong, it's not grounded ... I don't recall if my TV's have a ground, guess I never thought about it ...
Now ya got me curious, I got to check.
Well, thats interesting, I thought all TV's were grounded ... guess not, maybe they figure if the voltage gets that far, its not going to save the TV ...

EchoStar has filed with FCC for license and launch of the EchoStar 25 satellite at the nominal 110W slot.
------"At the nominal 110° W.L. orbital location, EchoStar is licensed to operate over 29 of the available 32 DBS channels (specifically channels 1-27, 29,and 31).3 Currently, EchoStar provides service over these channels from the 110° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 10, EchoStar 11 (in inclined orbit), and EchoStar 23 satellites; and from the 119° W.L. cluster utilizing the EchoStar 14 and EchoStar 15 satellites. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25 will be ready for launch as early as the first quarter of 2026. EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25, a spot-beam satellite, will take over delivery of certain programming services from EchoStar 10 and 14. After launch and in-orbit testing ("IOT"),4EchoStar 25 will proceed directly to 110.0° ± 0.05° W.L. Once EchoStar 25 is placed into operation, EchoStar 10 will initially remain at 110.2° W.L. serving as an in-orbit spare and may ultimately be relocated subject to all appropriate Commission authorizations. EchoStar 14 will remain at the nominal 119° W.L. orbital location and serve as an in-orbit spare once EchoStar 25 begins service." -----

EchoStar anticipates that EchoStar 25, a spot-beam satellite, will take over delivery of certain programming services from EchoStar 10 and 14. After launch and in-orbit testing ("IOT"),4EchoStar 25 will proceed directly to 110.0° ± 0.05° W.L. Once EchoStar 25 is placed into operation, EchoStar 10 will initially remain at 110.2° W.L. serving as an in-orbit spare and may ultimately be relocated subject to all appropriate Commission authorizations. EchoStar 14 will remain at the nominal 119° W.L. orbital location and serve as an in-orbit spare once EchoStar 25 begins service." -----

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
