General Instruments DSR-4200, MPEG2/DigiCipher II?
Thanks, as always!

It should work for some free DCII stuff but if I remember, you have to program it all.

I know Annenberg Media uses these receivers. here is some info

The DSR-4200 is a commercial receiver. You can use it for ITC stuff but you have to program it for one channel at a time. I think it may do some megapipe, I know the 4800 does.

Nope. No 4200 will do megapipe. In fact, unless it's a 4200v, I don't believe it'll do any symbol rates above 19.510 MS/sec. The 4200v will do 29.270MS/sec signals but I believe split mode only and not combined mode or "megapipe". Anyway, there are a few signals still up there you might be able to receive, if your receiver's been previously authorized. It will receive only one "service" at a time as it will only hold one set of channel maps. One "service" may include multiple channels.

I have a 4200C, it is a "business class" receiver (not broadcast grade, only commercial). They were used extensively in educational facilities. Looks like an overgrown D* receiver I have yet to receive anything on it, mine was originally used to receive KET (Kentucky Educational TV)...

The DSR-4800 is a totally different instrument, it is a very desirable receiver. Broadcast grade from top to bottom, built like a tank, and best of all, it will receive fixed key DCII signals without requiring authorization. The Digitrans 7150 series are rebranded Motorola DSR-4800s.
