Motorola never gets Florida daylight savings time correct.

Will the Absolute Digital Package eventually be available on G9?

What's wrong with a good old VCR? Set a timer in the 922, set the record time on the VCR and you have it.

Great not only will we have to listen to Direct, and Dish customers pi$$ and moan about crappy picture quality, now those that have C-Band can experence it first hand. Hopefully FIOS will be in my area before this happens.

A little more news. Discovery HD Theater is moving from it's current C4-600 to C3-617. It's broadcasting on both at the moment.

On C-Band also.

Starz Entertainment Group has created two new channels, RetroPlex and IndiePlex, that will launch April 3, extending the company's family of targeted movie channels. RetroPlex will offer movies of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and IndiePlex will run theatrically-released independent films...

Before I moved my dish I had the the coax, non ribbon, buried inside PVC for 20+ years and it worked until the day I moved the dish. I had the black coax seal on the ends of the PVC to keep out rain. I live in Florida were hurricanes dump rain by the foot, not counting the rainy season.

Advantage: C-Band never gets rained out. First generation signal. No compression artifacts. No "HD-Lite" on HD channels. Disadvantage: Not as many HD channels available.

Do you know if the reed switch is what changes polarity? Do you have the manual for the Star Trek receiver? It should show how to connect an LNBF to it. The DSR922 should connect the same way.

NBC buys a set number of programs and if the ratings are what's expected the show gets canned, they don't order any more. What's so hard to understand about that? And Gillette still sells disposable razors. Detroit car makers produce new models of cars. So what? What does this have to do...

How about supplying some proof of that statement.

One of the best things about the C-Band satellite is the owners are not tied to one central company for programming. We can consider ourselves "independent contractors". If we don't like the pricing at one company, go shopping at another. If the programmers, HBO, Showtime, Starz! were not...

What? You make no sense. Don't equate the business tactics of Dish to every satellite company.

If that's true why would Starz host the 4DTV's program guide?

Nice. I planned to get the PVR mod on my HDD200 after I send it to Motorola for the Starz firmware update.

Can you watch as you record? If so why would you need an HDD200?

So with this mod you can record HD without an HDD200?

I'm not sure what "time" you are talking about. Starz just reduced their price from $185.00 to $110.00 per year for their 35 movie channels, including HD. I don't see C-Band going down soon.

I watched it when it was on C-Band. I liked a lot of the programming. Why the hell wouldn't I watch when it's in HD? If you don't like to watch "FREE" programs why are you in the Free To Air section?? I don't believe I mentioned you by name when I started this thread. If you don't like what is...

Just because it's free AND HD I sure would.

Glad to hear that. I had in mind to get the Coolsat 5000. I assume when you scan and get AC3 audio, but no video it a good bet that you found an HD feed?

I'm looking to get an FTA receiver with blindscan and a Twinhan Starbox for HD. Is there a FTA receiver with blindscan that won't "crash" when it comes across an HD feed?

No doubt. I play PC games on my plasma, watch HD trailers from the PC to the plasma. I have the Sound Blaster S/PDIF output to my Onkyo and, for the moment until I switch to Nvidia, the ATI X800XL VGA output to the plasma.

I would think it would be a priority channel for anyone with an HDTV, after all it is free.
