I must say, ever since the download of L211, I have spent almost little time on this discussion group. What that tells me is that I am satisfied with the product, in spite of the occasional glitch. Let me add that I still get a "wow" factor feeling when I watch the 921 on HD channels and...

The Dish guide is useless on how to change PIP channels. Personally, I can't figure it out. THe only PIP picture I get is the Dish 100 channel of information. How do you get the different PIP channels? Advice anyone? Is there a link someone can point me to on more specific information...

Do you really think it's a bandwidth problem? In other words, is it really that 3 HD channels per transponder maxes out the PQ? I haven't noticed any problem with HDNM or HDNET, compared with OTA HD. They seem equivalent when broadcasting a true HD event. I really hope we don't have to move...

I know Dish's copout answer is "when it is cost effective", and I can appreciate that. But, I am hoping and praying that Dish gets the following soon, if at least for sports reasons: CSTV INHD INHD2 Stars HD Anyone with any inside knowledge on Dish's thinking on these channels? I'd...

So, what sort of Voltage/Wattage So, what sort of Voltage/Wattage minimums are you guys using? I just bought a cheap ($60) UPS with 330 watts, and 550 volts, and it starting giving me warning beeps immediately upon turning up the sound on my DVD movie - and that was even WITH power on (no...

Thanks for the helpful information. Any ideas on how much time I need, minimum, for the battery to last? I know some are rated for 1-2 minutes, while others are closer to a hour. Thanks.

supply with your t.v./921 receiver? I use a high-grade surge protector, but I've had the power go out a few times, and it doesn't make me comfortable. Can you recommend a reasonably priced UPS backup power supply for home entertainment systems? I'd hate for anything else to go wrong with...

Better not be for free anytime soon, or they're goin' to have lots of 'splaining to do to some very, very irate 921 customers.

I did a reset NMV, and reset Factory Defaults during the download (I didn't know I had a download going on since no blinking light) and got a black screen with jumbled characters. I turned it off, hoping it was a software download, and left it alone until the morning. In the morning, I...

There are basically few if any new threads on this receiver. Have people just given up and decided it isn't worth the energy? What to do about the $1,000? Can we get a refund from Dish before a year is over, and apply it to a new 942 receiver, assuming it's better (huge assumption, I...

Actually that worked. I simply reset NMV and factory defaults and reset all over again. Now everything works like a 'charm'.

I used to be able to set a timer that would record when powered off. For some reason, however, I can't record TNT HD programs when the unit is powered off. Anyone else seeing this problem?

You're on the right track While you're at it, however, make sure you use only the highest grade RG-6 cable you can find. Personally, I've had good luck with monster. Yeah, it's more expensive, but I actually had the signals burn out the Radio Shack cable I used previously, and that was...

That is strange indeed I used to have to reload all of my ota channels. Not anymore. Sounds like yours are less stable, while mine are more stable now?

It has now been 1.5 weeks since I have had to rescan my OTA channels. Normally, I have to rescan them every 2-3 days. Recently, a tech came and switched out a connector used to connect wires from the Dish to the receiver, but that was only to fix an apparently dead wire. Maybe the wire was...

It's getting pretty old trying to explain to my wife why the OTA's don't show any data, and why I have to rescan them every few days or so. I'd heard that the software fix for this would be second or third quarter. Please, someone tell me this is coming sooner rather than later. BTW -...

Well, Botwhort, can there be any doubt that that is about the ugliest antenna available? What, are we trying to turn the neighborhoods into back into the unsightly 60's with these gargantuan antennas on everyone's home? Personally, I prefer something much more discrete, less obvious...

By the way, the Radio Shack RG6 cable is unreliable with HD signals. I bought two of their highest end RG6 cables thinking "cable is cable is cable" only for their stupid cables to burn out and stop sending me HD signals, and only garble the analog channels (HD and non-HD sets) after a couple...

Thanks for the heads up on that. Can you give us an idea of what sorts of things were causing the "unlock", and what sorts of things have yet to be solved? I.e., they know it has something to do with x, but can't find it in the code, etc.

I don't know what you mean by "what is the front-end seeing". Please explain. I don't ever reposition the atenna. I have a basic, run-of-the-mill "HD" Terk antenna that I leave in the same spot. The Samsung STB never lost a channel. The Dish . . . well, we all know the story there.

Partially fix? What do you mean? As in, so they won't drop as frequently, or so they won't drop at all, but with other limitations? Thanks for any headsup.

My OTA channels "unlock" from the signal about every 2-3 days, and I have to reset the system, and rescan the digital signals just to get them back. In particular, I get the dreaded "Local channel [insert channel number] not found" for all of my OTA channels. Is this what's going on with...

I've heard April 11 as the magic number.

Dish said this is a known problem - loss of OTA channels. Apparently, they think they have an upcoming fix in the next software update. I'm not holding my breath. For now, reset nmv, reset factory defaults, scan analog, and then scan digital seems to be the sequence that works every time...

Make sure you have the right antenna, that it is pointed correctly, and, I can't emphasize this enough - that you have high grade monster coax cable going from antenna to receiver. I got no reception using the highest grade radio shack quad shielded cable. Well, actually, I had that cable...
