This is SD My title implied simsub but I am not convinved. it is only channel 284 (NBCHD) and only for GBLHD. All night the shows were different so there is no reason for simsub and likely nothing to do with postal code. It started (or I noticed) during the nightly news which would not be...

I want to watch NBC news HD. This should not be Simsubed but I keep getting GBLHD. I reset box and I get the right NBC for 3-10 minutes but then GBLHD cuts over again....now after the news...I get GBLHD ET vs NBC wheel of fortune (not that I want to watch either but essentially I no longer...

I have a 505 and the trip count was at 76 so I reset the receiver and a few days later it is at 3...what's up. Should I be concerned oe how to fix? (I thought it should be at zero...have had this for couple of years now so not an avtivation thing) Thanks

What are g1 feeds? For me with 5xx series, it sounds like I drop the service in 2012 as I have no intentions of shelling out agai; I already had to pay $200 to upgrade from 500 to 505 last year and 2 years later they want yet another upgrade to 605? No way.

I use GBPVR for my PVR PC. For programming, this one works great: mc2xml for an XMLTV file type.

Sorry. Let me clarify. I have SC and will output the signal from the receiver to the PC. The PC can use IR to change changes. I am looking for the software which duplicates EPG so I can choose recordings etc by show...just like regular DRV only based o nthe PC.

I want to build a PC-based DVR with electronic program guide (EPG) that has Starchoice. Beyond TV and Sage TV are expesnive ($100) and have a worrying warning that "they may stop providing free EPG at any time". I would hate to spend that money only to have them move to TiVo business model...

Just buy a steel fence post from Lowes or Home Deport. You can get 6 or 8 foot length (normally used for chain link fences). Just get the right diamter (I forget which one)

No idea if this matters or even applies but I just got a 505 to replace a 500. When I hooked up the 505, prior to activation, I noticed signal level was at 40%. Figured I needed to re-point the dish. I decide to work through the activation first. After activation, go back to signal...

Man, you are 3 weeks to late. I ended up going for the standard web offer of $99 but would have jumped at the $49 for the 505a (or rerurb). I had tried to call three times but they would never let me talk to anyone and they would never call back to me US number. So I had to go through the...

what is the "home away from home" program? Have they ever called the US number? Like I said, I was promised a call back 3 times, and they never would call the US area code cell phone (I told them it was a business cell). Like you, I avoid a broker and use a "friends" address and home...

I tried to call them but no one would speak to me about the upgrade. They said someone would have to call me back. During one call, they said they would call back in 5 minutes...I said I would hold but they insisted I was called back. Needless to say, I was not at home. I tried a cell phone...

In reading other threads, apparently some have been able to convert the PPV credit to a programing credit, but it appears to be hit or miss. To "Starchoice" post above, I agree Option 2 is shady, but then again, I do experience freezes and they are more frequent so that would appear good...

bump No DSR500 users out there? or everyone happy with $99?

I assume you are paying the $99? What they charging for shipping?

I will not use the PPV credit so I am looking at $100 to replace at DSR500 I bought only 18 months ago. Seems unfair since a new customer pays $89 and gets dish and installation to boot. An existing customers gets the shaft. I guess the question is: 1. Pay $100 and use DSR500 to replace...

My point about it being cheaper for new subs was: * existing customer, who's perfecting good equipment is being obsoleted, gets worse deal than new guy * existing customer is better to "cancel" and become "new" with new address (I have several friends I can use for CND address) Back...

How about DSR500 ? ($99 seems high since, with a new address, you could get a DSR505 for less as a new customer; then add your other existing receivers to the new account.)

Buying a used DSR505 (from Canada) is hardly a solution. I guess as a minimum I can ship my original DSR500 to KUSAT and have them ship replacement DSR505 ? Or can this only be done through StarChoice? That being the case, I guess I ship the old unit to my address in Canada and have them...

back to the original question. For those south of the border with DSR500, what options are there to get a compliant receiver.

So for those of us South of the border, how do we deal with DSR500? It will get expensive to ship to Canada and get new one shipped back (assuming that KUSAT will even help there). I do not suppose that Future Shop would be a swap point (allowing a quick road trip over the border)? If I...

still out of stock on SC web site. Too bad about the HD size. Either way, I guess I wait for another "$200" rebate since I missed Dec.

Owners can swap 500 for 505? really? What is best method for swap for those of us sitting south of the border? (originally bought from Kusat...not sure double shipping charges would make it worth while but open to best solutions)

530 units show "temporarily sold out" on SC web site... and it has shown this all of Jan/07. I would guess there will not be any more until 537 is out? Likely the reason for the Dec/06 sale. Any word on 537 pricing?

Never mind. KUSAT is out of stock.
