I am currently shopping for a new A/V receiver that features HDMI switching. I am very interested in the Pioneer VSX-72TXV. I noticed the following disclaimer on Pioneer's site though, regarding this receiver:
*HDMI connection may not allow transmission of copyright material depending on the capability of the signal source. Click here for alternative connection options.
After speaking with a support technician from Pioneer, he said that the equipment connected to the receiver must be "HDCP compliant", and that the HDMI connection of any equipment connected to the receiver must be "HDMI version 1.1"
Can anyone tell me which version of HDMI interface the DISH 942 uses, and whether or not it is HDCP (high definition copyright protection) compliant? I'd hate to lay out the $$ for this new Pioneer unit and have trouble running the 942's signal through it.
Thanks!

Page 115 is about the RF modulator in my manual!
I do see a note on page 106 about selecting a format on your monitor. I'm pretty sure I tried everything, but I'll give the monitor menu another squint.
Regarding my sig...I didn't even realize it was still there. I just put that on to counteract someone elses sig. Can't remember who's, but I just saw it again a few days ago... "A Moral Wrong is not a Civil Right".
Funny, it didn't say anything about Bush...someone's jumping to conclusions. I hate all politicians (except John McCain)...not just conservatives. The only thing it mentions is the Moral Majority, and I stand by my critisism.
Of course, maybe I'M jumping to conclusions about the other sig...after all, I fully agree "A Moral Wrong is not a civil right". It's not a civil right to steal pension funds, murder innocent people, spy on people who disagree with you, ect...
I'll take off the bottom line, because it's not directly in response to the other sig. (Besides, Tom B has a better line anyway.) Can't see what "fair" has to do with it though, as everyone is equally allowed to put whatever they want in their sig as long as it's not obscene or otherwise illegal. Seems like that's the definition of "fair".

Hmmm....we must have different User's Guides. Mine is copyright 2005, and on the back cover at the bottom there is a number - 130850. Page 115 has a section called "No picture on the Nearby HDTV", which seems to relate to your issue. The link to download or view the guide is:
http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/technology/942/DISH_Player-DVR_942_User_Guide.pdf
It's page 115 in the manual...not the page number shown in the page counter in Adobe Reader though (122 of 170).
Good luck with that McCain thing. I used to have more respect for him, but now he seems to be in the "I never met a microphone or camera I didn't like" mode. Lick your finger, stick it in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing that day and smile for the TV crew. I remember about 8 years of that in the 90s.....
Let me know if the info in the Guide works out for you.
Ciao

Well...I received the following email from the support folks at Dish Network today:
Thank you for your email. After reading your email the answer to your
question is that our 942 receiver supports HDMI 1.0.

Question: Can you please tell me what HDMI spec my DISH DVR 942 uses?
I understand there is an HDMI 1.0 and an HDMI 1.1, and I need to make
sure
that the 942 is compatible with the new A/V receiver I am buying. Thank
you!

I guess I'll have to assume this is correct, and make my new A/V receiver buying decision with this information in mind.

I have the Roku's, 2 or 3, I just rarely use them ... I prefer the Google/Android Sony set up.
People tell me that the Apps on the TV will end thier usefulness as they age ... They are doing ok for me so far ... I also have the TV take the App Updates whenever possible ... then again, I don't know how often App updates come to it.
So, so far, I'm doing ok, but if they start to get sluggish, I'll eventually change to a Roku ... I don't want to, but eventually ... (Or buy another new TV

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....

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

Does anyone here use Apple Home/HomeKit with HomePods or Apple TV to automate smart devices in their house? We have had Amazon's Alexa set up in our house for the last 10+ years and I have been waiting to switch them out to Apple for a few reasons; We are already in the Apple ecosystem with our phones, tablets, and computers. I have never liked Amazon's stance on privacy and I really like that Apple has pushed for privacy for a long time.
I bought 4 of the new HomePod Mini 2 speakers to go in various rooms in our house and we have one of the new Apple TVs on preorder that will be the start of me replacing our Rokus. I have the HomePod Mini 2s set up and have an RPi that is running HomeBridge for our legacy smart devices that worked natively with Alexa but don't work with Apple Home natively. I had trouble with the older smart bulbs not keeping the brightness or light color consistent with what our routines were with Alexa despite trying every setting in HomeBridge with the bulbs just not shining very bright. I ended up replacing them with updated versions that are Matter compatible so they work in Apple Home natively. That in and of itself has been interesting to set up because I have my home network segretated with the IoT devices on their own vlan and wifi and pretty locked down. Matter requires IPv6 and due to how my home network is designed I had to do some digging with AI to figure out how to make it all work correctly.
Apple Home definitely has some shortcomings that Alexa does much better with but I am hoping Apple will continue to improve their Home products and introduce features that will bring it closer to the functionality of Alexa.
