DBS6000 or 6100?
If DBS6000, it has been discontinued. Since this was a recent purchase I would ask the reseller to exchange for another product. It was a decent STB for single satellite reception , but never got a channel editor and had some unresolved issues that made it a poor unit for hobbyists.
If the DBS 6100, this is a new receiver for DMSI. I have read in other posts that users are reporting many of the same issues that are native to the ALI Software Development Kit. These problems should be able to be resolved with some coding. For now you may need to manually enter some PIDs and tolerate some quirks until it matures.
