I was just told an interesting thing. I was told by my local vendor that for the 721 to work it has to "see" both 119 and 110. Up here in southeast alaska we can only see 119 reliably. While we can get 110 we need a two meter dish. So, can the 721 work with just a signal from 119? I have two receivers and still want to use my old 4000 and the new 721. I had been assuming that I could use a switch to split the signal from my dual LNB, sending one to the 4000, two to the 721 and terminate the left over. Scott or anyone else, do you know if this will work? Thanks...marshal

I believe that the 9 day guide is only being sent out on the 110 satellite. (I could be wrong) But still the 721 should work.

Although without a 9 day guide its not really worth it.

Part of having a PVR for me is being able to search for shows I like and setting them to record when I have time. Having only a 2 day guide kind of take that ability away, so for me it would not be worth it.

Unplugging 110 from my setup won't effect anything, as the 9 day guide is already living on my hard drive.

The 721 will work find only looking at 119 but again you won't have a 9 day guide.
