Well, having enjoyed my nearly-free 721/811 for a few months, I decided to try a 921 to go with the new plasma that is on the way. Wife hates the stacked look of the current setup.

So far, the 921 does not seem to tune OTA quite as well as my 811 did (not saying much really) but it does work.

Sadly, the 921 is no where near as polished as both the 721 OR the 811. The latter's superiority came as a shock to me. Things like no (sat) locals remaped to the guide at the correct local numbers, no HD and SD simultaneous output, and reboots for simple things like adding favorites have marred my first few hours with the 921.

Here is hoping they keep fixing the 921 till is as good as my old 5000s circa 1997.

At least my HD Football will be preserved till I get home from kids soccer, church etc. :)

Mark, thanks for your efforts on the 921 BTW - god's work it seems.

I'm sure you did, but make sure you have the latest software.

The sat locals are not remapped because of conflicts with the OTA locals.

HD & SD simultaneous output is a hardware design problem.
