Updates to the tech portal (411 Receiver)
Dish has updated the tech portal to include information on the 211/411. I would post a link, but I don't have enough posts yet. All new information is contained in the HDTV section. It also includes some better resolution picture of the box's front and rear panels.
Here is the important information on the 411:
Technical Aspects
4.1 IR Universal Remote (1)
Advanced MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compliant Explain
Method to compress digital signals. This way, the amount of information that has to be sent decreases. MPEG is a compression method. Thanks to this compression, it is possible to combine several channels onto one satellite transponder.
DISH Comm Explain
DISH Comm allows supported receivers to communicate with each other through the electrical plug and house AC wiring and be able to see if one of them has a phone line connection. When it is time to download PPV purchases, the receiver will route the information to the phone line connected receiver to dial out and report. This communication will include information of which receiver the purchases originated. One DISH Comm receiver must be connected to a phone line.
