Are you suggest the 721 is not worth it without the 9 day guide? For me the big reason for the 721 is the dual tuner capability. While a 9 day guide would be GREAT I really want two tuners and pip. Any chance you could disconnect your 110 feed and see if the 721 can still operate? Anyone else have any ideas if this might work? Thanks...marshal
PVR 721 and 119 only
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 thought it would work but wanted to check. I would be tempted to re-aim my dish to 110 but it is such a hassle to get it dialed in just right. I wish there was a dish mount that had fine level screw type adjustments to dial it in just right. With mine, even tightening the locking screws can cause it to loose a point or two of reception.
Scooper, I certainly understand about the need for a switch, that is the easy part to buy. I just wanted to confirm that it should work with just 119 and a switch. Kind of cheesy on the limited guide since it seems to me it is such a small data stream that could easily be put on both satallites. sigh....
Like STXJim, I live on the edge of the footprint. While I would really prefer the 9day guide I can live with just two days, as long as I can program anything manually. Part of the price we pay for living in a nice place.
