Hello,
Well after agonizing over the various problems I've had with the new DVR, I started back at the beginning. I started witht the dish. I did my own install and if you read some of my other posts, I am not allowed to mount the dish outside, stupid aprtments, so I have to get signal thru the window glass. Well as I was checking everything on the dish, I noticed that the top jumper on the 110/119 LNB was not plugged in right. After hitting myself in the forehead with a hammer, I plugged it in right and what do you know, I get good signal levels on 110 and 119 again. The AT9 really is a great dish.
So, I still had a problem with it getting the 00dc update and I was going to call D* this morning to have them send me a new box, but I checked the info screen and there it was 0xe3. So, now I can FINALLY get to know this sucker. So far, I am liking it. The guide really blows the HR10 away. Also the recording starts right away, no sitting and picking your nose while it starts up.
I will keep everyone up to date with my tests, right now I'm watching a show I recorded earlier on Discovery HD and so far, it is working flawlessly. I need to do the reset to see if my DD comes back, but right now I'm thrilled that it's working good.
Take care all,
Lowry
