    dsr6000 for $99

    Bought two while the rebate was out there in September; irregardless, if you want one and can get it for $ 99, I think it is a great steal. CS had them for $ 99 and $ 0.01 for a dual LNB dish. Have read about the added TV experience of using TIVO. I pretty much agree with it, it puts you in...

    NBC HD on DIsh?

    NBC sucks, Jay Leno in HD is a joke and additionally, who cares; now you can see more of the gook makeup that Leno uses. FOX is on NBC's heels, I have no idea how FOX could innovate news and sports so much and not broadcast the World Series in HD. CBS was the reluctant trailblazer; if someone...

    third satelite at 110degrees

    It is just a single LNB with a diplexer and connecting cables. I have yet to see how they are wired into a multi-switch configuration used with D*+. WildBill ------------------ WildBill

    1. You can use two dishes; each need a dual LNB with all four outputs wired to the multiswitch. There is a good explanations of this at: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/002223.html See Wayne Bundrick's comments. 2. I assume the DVDO scaler would be superior to the one in the HDTV...

    MITSUBISHI STB SR-HD5 some complaints

A user can configure four user guides of one's choice. For example, I have HDTV, Music, Sports, Family and the default All Channels. One has...

    Do they make Satellite Stands for the dishes?

    When I travel, I carry the D* receiver, dish, compass, level and a C-clamp. Typically, I have the dish mounted on the balcony and am using the unit in 15-30 minutes. Additionally, many sat vendors sell tripod stands. Try using advanced search on one the search engines and type in the following...

    Do any DirecTV receivers allow you to map local channels into the 01-99 channel area?

    I would like to think that any D* receiver that supports the APG feature would permit you to map your local channels. I have the Mits HDTV STB connected to a roter antenna and have local channels from two area codes mapped into my unit. The APG is a nifty feature that has been very responsive to...
