DBS sucks, mainly why I quit going there. Secondly the Gestapo mods.

Some mods are a bit heavy handed, but that's just how they've decided to run their site. But they all aren't like that. One of them was nice enough to post a thread in the CE section here saying there was a new CE tonight for the HR20-700 to fix the DoD performance issue caused by last nights CE. He didn't have to do that but he did.

Well so far I haven't had any run in's over there.. Maybe I keep a lower profile there. Either that or I am on everyone's ignore list. I still like this place better.. Much friendlier. But there is some good info that comes out from the dark side over there too,.

I'm not even aloud over there,I got banned like a year and a half ago.. Just for having my own opinion ,and not backing down. BS if you ask me ,Thats why I like it here. If you disagree with someone,you play it out and then its over and done with. Over there they ban you ,so they can have the last word. They have no balls over there at DBS what so ever.

My set up and worked for me to get 498 back...

HR20-700.
AT9
no multiswitch
BBC's installed.
Notive mode off. Only have 1080i resolution enbabled on HR20-700.
Sammy 42" plasma.
HDMI input.

Came home after work last night and had ch498 with congrats screen.
Read here about 480/481. Tested them. Nothing. Did a soft boot and they started working, but lost 498.

Several softboots, no joy.

Read about changing native off/on then ch to 72>73>498.
Didn't work.

Turned native on and turned on 480P and 720P resolution. Then did the
ch 72>73>498

And again I get the congrats screen and also get success on 480/481.

Hope this helps others.

Go Bucks!


Got back home and was playing again. When I cycled thru the 72>73>498 it failed again. Also noticed that on 73, the audio and video were dropping out. Cyclyed thru again and then it was 72 that had bad audio/video, but 498 came in. Tried again and it was as it was the first time, bad audio/video on 73 and no slide on 498.

So it would apear that I have a bad BBC. How can I tell which tuner I am on?

I am thinking of disconnecting one and testing. That should do it, no?
