I asked Dave if he lost is job because of the DTVPal
Dave Zatz said:Ha! No I didn't lose my job for posting photos. Quite the contrary - company spokespeople are usually expected to get the word out.I left voluntarily for Dash Navigation.
then i would say you need to ask him to post more pics, in order of appearance. all your questions should be answered by that.
His responses in the AVS Forum
I do wonder how many times a person has to download the guide as shown in the progress bar imageDave Zatz said:

I don't know of anyone accepting pre-orders anymore.
The next two online retailer would be
$21.94 @ http://www.solidsignal.com | $48.99 + $9.95 shipping | 6% sales tax Michigan
$9.95 @ CheapDigitalConverters.com | $39.99 + $9.95 shipping | ? sales tax CA
SolidSignal is not accepting coupon orders it is listed above as if they did
CheapDigitalConverters has a form to be notified of pre-orders
You coupons do however expire during the time it is expected to be released.
June 16th - June 20th so you might also be able to find it locally.
I thought I read someplace that Claude isn't accepting coupons either. Has anybody heard anything from him lately on the DTV PAL?
The remote looks exactly the same that was used on the Dish Network 111 receivers (the smallest Dish Network receivers ever made). I wonder if Dish Network remotes will work with these FTA receivers. My guess is that they will not work on them on purpose so that they wont interfere with Dish Network receiver operation. Perhaps they set them on a different code so that one can use their Dish Network remote on them so that they could use their existing stock of remotes to save money.
Do you mean it could activate the Analog Pass-Through
The new DigitalStream DTX9950's remote has a PassThru button to switch and operates like this.
Either that it could operate like the Philco/Magnavox where you need to change modes in a menu and keep the box turned on but I doubt that.
charlesrshell we have heard from Claude and you are correct he will not be accepting coupons.
I get what you are hinting at. That the DTVPal could be gathering PSIP data for the Program Guide when it is off.
Dave Zatz did say the "Downloading Guide" screen was activated when he pulled up the guide to get more/new info. He however, did not say how long the box was plugged in for like "overnight"
I have to admit that the guide is very similar to the Dish DVR-921 minus the preview.
I am therefore thinking that the event timer
and programming search will be very similar as well.
Here are a lot of images of the DVR-921 including more event images
Thanks again pabeader
i've never seen a screen that looks like either of those. with or without preview
the only Dish satellite receivers i've ever seen were the old 5000 receiver, the old 2600 receiver, the 301, the 311 and the 625.

I looked at the User Guides for the 5000 receiver and 2600 receiver - I don't think it will look anything like that.
Timer images can be found for the 301, and for the 311 - Again close but not what I was looking for
Looking at the timer images for the 625 - Very close but also to advanced and complex for the DTVPal
I finally settled for the 322 that is like the 625 but simple and probably more like the DTVPal
Looking at the user guide for the 322 I would say if the DTVPal is going to be very similar.
Thank you again pabeader
