  1. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    I'm on my third 921 in about 2.5 years. Its more stable now than in the past, but certainly not as solid as my 7100 is (which took a couple years to get to that point). I returned my last one after repeated "smart card is not authorized" messages, which would go away after about 2 minutes, but...

    I have also seen some pretty nice HDNET stuff in the last couple of months. Old movies that looked really outstanding (the shining, a clockwork orange, 2001). A couple nights ago, watching miscellaneous stuff and surfing through the HD channels, it didn't look nearly as good as it had. I...

    I've started getting it, maybe in the last month. I only get it watching HD channels - I don't watch anything on SD.

    Not a waste (or waist) of my time at all. I log in, read the recap over a couple min, and I'm done with it. Thanks.

    You've got a deal breaker then.

    I've gotten 61.5 in LA from both houses I've had since I've had dish. Just make sure you've got a clear sky to the east.
  7. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    CRT projectors don't support a full 1920x1080, even if they are 1080i units. Lots of devices will take a 1080i input and scale it - a CRT projector doesn't have to scale it, but usually the CRTs themselves aren't precise enough to resolve that many lines. Throw up a chart and see what it can...

    I had that problem once. The machine was toast, I had to wait 6 days (!) to get the call back (they too, didn't follow the call back instructions and were calling who knows where - I had to call them multiple times with extra instructions) for them to call me back and help me through rebooting...

    Looks like the update took on mine without trouble. Its been running pretty stable though.

    I'll also speak up for wanting to see these. I'm have no loyalty to dish for loyalty's sake, and have considered switching to cable before as well. At this point, my local cable doesn't come close to the HD diversity dish has, thus I'm still with Dish.

    I've got one in the garage somewhere. Maybe I should dig it out so I can check out the new firmware!

    HD is worth it. I don't watch non HD content anymore.
  13. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    looks like I've got 218 as well I wasn't having EPG problems though, so its probably not too exceptional for me. My OTA reception continues to be inconsistent, though. 125 signal strength on one channel, 70/53/0 on another one, despite them being broadcast from the same location.
  14. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    Partially. I've seen the acquiring satdata, but it recovers without an error message. The OTA signal strength shows as 0 until I hit HELP, then it'll lock onto an OTA channel.
  15. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    I lost the ability of one tuner to reliably lock onto a channel. Sometimes it would, otherwise it would complain about lost signal. Turned out that the connection was bad (old pre-existing directv cable got a little dirty at the grounding block), which caused it to be able to lock onto one...
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    I still have my original dishplayer I bought back in early 2000 (although I've replaced or upgraded the hard drive a couple times). Its certainly had software problems in the early days, but has been quite stable for the last few years. It took the yellow card update without problems. I have...
  17. Forum Support
    As a longtime member of both AVS and dbstalk, I enjoy both sites, but for different reasons. AVS is a great wealth of information, both highly technical and very broad - I can find a huge community of people talking about the OTA reception I have with my local hills. I don't go to AVS for...

    Let me have them for a month, and I'll answer the poll. They could put up the "watch paint dry in HD" channel and it would still be compelling on the second day.
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    I added one last night.
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'm in southern california. I added a 61.5 dish yesterday - just happened to have a clear spot in the east where I needed to point it. I mounted the dish and pointed it in the general direction according to my pretty junky 9 year old directv compass, hooked up the wires, and went inside to do...
