TO blackjackmark: In reading thru your comment, I'm not clear what you mean by "satellite pirates"...do you include the FTA retail equipment user/consumer? If not, what group is it? Electronic hackers/techies? :confused:

SmityWhity: Thanks for the comprehensive response! According to my "Sys Info", my switch(es) are called DPP Twin, Twin(1), Twin (2), Dual (3)...with two DISH arrays mounted on my roof to pick up the satellites at 119, 110, and 61.5. The more recent array (for the 61.5 satellite, I guess) is...

OKAY...thanks for the offer to buy my 508 (private message). I'm considering it; however, first I want to exhaust my research into whether I can bootstrap into the DISH satellites, etc. I have an old 18" DISH array with an A-B digital LNBR (model BS101UP201M) with several SW21 switches and an...

Leftovers THANKS guys for the tips. As I understand the bottom line...there is apparently no way to use my leftover PVR-508 unless I pay DISH $5.00 a month to re-activate my smart card. When I had my HD equipment installed a few months ago, I had the option of leasing one of their new SD...

Brad-I have the HD two-tuner DVR 622 and, lately, my sound dropout has started to include video also. Turning the Samsung TV off and on restores everything, but who wants to do that in the middle of a movie/sentence/or scene? Also, using the COMPONENT connection, As indicated earlier, takes...

Thanks. You're right. I called Samsung and they agreed that they had an upgrade...but they wouldn't agree to send a technician right away since we live in a rural area of Virginia (No authorized repair place within 50 miles). I hung up wondering if I'll ever hear from them again.

We purchased a Samsung LN-T4665F LCD HiDef TV online from Circuit City this past April and have been having periodic sudden loss of HDMI sound or video (or both). This dropout has not been weather related and occurs randomly about once a week. Switching to other audio/video connections (e.g...
