hope this helps.
Getting dark, hooked directly to dpp quad on 500 and downloading guide info, etc... gonna concentrate on my 6000u in ht room...
Thanks, watching nba right now, PQ is on par with the 6000u, the 921 finally downloaded all the info it needed. It is kinda a mixture of the 6000 and the 501, with maybe a little Replay thrown in , now I have to get the dpp44 going with it so I can get my Cbs hd 
Gonna set it for Cheaper by the dozen to see how the timers work, now I have to get the 6000 goingbtw when I went to pick mine up the dealer had one too...(demo he said)

Got the Dpp44 up and running with the 921 Thanks to help from nippjas and Simple Simon Thanks Guys... Getting all 4 birds 119 110 61.5 and 148.
Timers seem to be working good, had black screen for a bit before switch checks, but It finally came to life. My 6000u is doing fine in my HT room although its only getting 119 110 and 61.5... Now a to hook up my Replays including the new one that came in yesterday. And figure out where to mount the replay blaster to the 921 (I record Survivor downrezzed)...

No probs yet... wish I had gotten one early this year...actually, this thread so far other than switch hookup should be named lack of problems...

Interesting...put it on sd to record Survivor to Replay, switched to Hd for CSI. first minute or two of it was sd then went HD... I just rewound back to check out first of Csi during commercial and went into Survivor with grey bars...( I had zoomed it when recording)edit,,, thing about it is Survivor was on a different timer...On the 501 a timed recording was a recording....my 921 menu shows Survivor and Csi as being seperate. cool
One week old, no problems with timers, no crashes (running out of space quickly just deleted the jets game and the patriots game for room)I'm happy I love the 2 timers....
I love the 2 timers....
Hooked mine up yesterday morning. No problems.(Had more problems getting the Harmony remote to operate it they way I wanted.) Recorded CSI:Miami, Wonderland, Terminator, and to keep the WAF going Trading Spaces last night with no problems. I was watching the Eagles/Cowboys game when it wanted to switch to CSI. I was wondering how it would handle this. Asked if I wanted to switch, said yes and then used guide to switch to game on sd channel. This didn't affect the recording of CSI, which I was wondering if it would. So far I don't think I'm getting the occasional multipath problems with OTA that I did with my 6000. Only time will tell. Really enjoy timeshifting HD. With my work schedule I miss alot of the better programs.
Same here, recorded miami while watching Cowboys eat humble pie...Terminator is waiting for the weekendnuts4scuba said:Hooked mine up yesterday morning.
