Keith, your the king! I have been looking for this info for quite awhile!

 

[Steve Mehs]

I know what the 3750 is, but whats the 302 and Blonder Tongue?

 

[DRJDAN]

What company makes the 301, 501 and 721 for Dish?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Echostars Division called ETC makes the 301, 501 and 721.

 

[Thinker]

I have a 301 and version 1.57. Should I have a later verison and how do you get it?

 

[DRJDAN]

Does ETC have actual manufacting facilities or do the contact out to JVC, RCA, etc. ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes they make it themselves, the RCA and Phillips units are made by them as well.

RCA is supposed to start making their own, but that has not happened yet.

 

[DishDude1]

The only difference between JVC, Phillips, and the new RCA models at wal-mart and RS are the smart card doors! They come out of the same plants with the same parts!

Keith,

Can I have your permission to add your post to the EKB with proper credit given? Since the demise of the old echostaruser.org and dish network's removal of this information we've not had a page with this information available on a "permenant" basis.

See ya
Tony

 

[John Corn]

Thanks Keith, thats some good info, I'll add that to My Notepad.

 

[Steve Mehs]

Credit for this goes to Rlj5242 at AVS, a compay called SCI is the one that actually manufactures the units for E*.

Quote from press release from June 7, 1999
SCI manufactured EchoStar's first satellite TV receiver three years ago and has since been involved in manufacturing EchoStar's next generation satellite TV receivers.

hey Tony: i forgot of course now where - but i had a link somewhere on those newest Dish Software versions (unless it was another post in some other forum) ...
If i find it - i ll let you know..
And yes Dishnet - doesn't update this info anylonger unfortunate

Maybe they ll read this - and will again - one should maybe ONLY hope

and yes Keith - you rule - nice post!!!!

 

[Darkman]

Keith!!! - hehe you even got Dates of updates i see..lol
you really rule

Is there a link on that all somewhere or you compile that statistics all on your OWN somehow?

 

[KeithLINY]

Update: 8/1/02



Now all models support cascading using a Twin & SW-21

 

[BobaBird]

Do they also support cascading SW44/SW21? Do they all have 129 on the dish pointing screen to allow the SW64/SW21 cascade for viewing 4 satellites?

 

[Geronimo]

And we still don't know what a Blonder Tongue is.

 

[Marcus S]

Scott, it would be great if you or Tony could host a permanent link on the models and current software versions.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I agree, let me see if I can get something up this weekend or by Monday latest.

Blonder Tongue Labs makes CATV and SATV stuff, so it's possibly a box for cable companies using Dish as a channel source?

QPSK/QAM seems to be their big thing currently (http://www.blondertongue.com/) but they make tons of stuff.

Their model 6189A is a QAM transcoder compatable with E*
