PEAK INSIDE MY NEW 921!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posters were calling me brave when I opened it up at first. Well, you beat me!!
I quess you need to keep the old fans to reinstall in case you get a defective 921!!!
Of course the E* people would frown on your warranty violation!!!!!!!!!
 
Since the HD-Tivo is not yet available, it too only lives in ones imagination.

Of course, now it is time to sell my 6000 on Ebay & hopefully recover $400-500 back!!!
Hi I may be interested in your Dish 6000. Thanx ...Nick88
 
You guys that opened up your 921's are aweful brave for putting your $1,000+ investment on the line by voiding your warranty automatically by opening them up.

I am guessing the extra space will be used for the DVD burner in the future that I heard people talking about, but also a two tuner receiver with two tv outputs (922) and perhaps an extra hard drive as someone had mentioned since more HD content will cause more of a demand for more space, perhaps even have additional tuners as well to keep the cost down on having multiple tv's have HD DVR functionality. Could be a more common type of receiver in the future as DVR and HD will become standard later on.
 
Anyone have a good closeups of the Dishwire area of the PCB inside? I would appreciate getting the TI chipset numbers off those photos. I'm working on something here. If I don't get any response then I'll be opening up my 921 to do my own information collection.

i did not look specifically, sorry

edit: also I am NOT going to open it again to find out!!!! The unit is in use.

I received my RA receiver today and did open up my 921 that I was sending back and it did have a second IDE connector. I wish I would have seen this before opeing it
 
It's hard to see it - 2BDHXNTC/TSB41AB2; hope it right one.
