We just got the HR10-250 DVR; it will be used exclusively in our motorhome. We are looking for help in aiming the dish when we arrive at a location. Prior...

Hello! I've got a two satillite DTV setup currently. The two dishes are now wired into an outdoor 4X4 multiswitch. from that multiswitch, I have one RG6 run...
You can cascade the two multiswitches, but only if the 4X4 switch will pass the 22kHz signal required for switching the LNBs for SAT B & SAT C. ... now wired...
I have had enough with DTV and decided to switch to Dish. I have two DTivo's, 1-DSR704 (160GB HD) and 1-HRD-250 (300GB HD) if anyone is interested make me an...
Thanks for the reply, Captain! Would the BEST solution be to replace the 4X4 with the5X8, reducing the number of connection points? I'm considering using a...
I don't think you'll do better than a Spaun multiswitch. They're reported to be the best available. If the 4X4 multiswitch is in addition to the built-in...
I'm not sure what a "phase III" dish is (I've got two dishes, 110 and 79? I'm not positive). My plan was to put the new 5X8 in an inside location I can...
A phase III dish is the oval dish with three LNB modules on it. The latest and greatest dish is the AT9 with five LNBs for use with the new mpeg4 sats. If...
Thanks for the heads-up! I think I do use the 72.5 (74.5?) dish for locals. If that turns out to be the case, I guess I'd have to cascade the existing...
I posed a similar question to MotoSat on April 13th this year. Here is the reply: Mitch Collins Motosat Technical Support 1-800-247-7486 I think that we will...
I posted this questions before, but I think I didn't make myself clear and will try again. HDNet is again transmitting the HDNet Test Pattern which is...
You're seeing a couple of potential differences: 1) The difference in the MPEG-2 decoding in the Tivo and the MPEG-2 decoding you're doing in software (or a...
I'm not sure what DTV is transmitting by my local OTA HD broadcasts are 1280x720. You can bet that DTV isn't transmitting at 1280x1080 but probably closer to...
When you use TyTool to extract video from the HR10-250 you can see how many pixels are in the frames. That's 1280x1080i. Compression level is another matter....
The majority of the local stations transmit 1920x1080i (OTA) - IIRC, only ABC and FOX are using 1280x720p and from my understanding, that applies to most of...
OK. First...the Tivo doesn't necessarily send its output as 1080i, I'm sure you're aware...you can change it to 720p or 480p or even 480i. But ok. Second, as...
When you extract the MPEG files from an HD TiVo using TyTool software, you get the original resolution of the material you're extracting as sent via satellite...

OK, that makes more sense to me. I had a frame capture I made of a dialog box in VideoReDo while I was editing an episode of 24 so I can verify that Fox is...
Well, I finally had a chance to climb up on the roof and look at the multiswitch the two dishes are attached to. Looks like its an Eagle (Aspen?) MS44D. So,...
The resolutions they're using for HD material have everything to do with saving bandwidth given that the equipment is obviously capable of decoding and...
Right...and what's more, D* has a long history of doing everything they possibly can to save bandwidth (and you can hardly blame them, given the inherent...
