but this thread is to just tell you all how much fun i am having with my 9000hd and module
i paid:
$450 - vs 9000hd (version 2 with fan...if you got version 1 you can send back to viewsat for version 2 and complain it was overheating)
$180 - 8psk adapter for DN HD
$70 - WD Elements 250GB HDD for recording
$700 - TOTAL
Watching DN HD while everyone else is pissed and waiting for bin - PRICELESS!!!!!!!
ok enough bragging....advantages to having this box are that DN has not locked a lot of their HD channels, such as:
discovery hd, nfl network hd, starz hd east, max, hgtv hd, food, vs/golf hd, mhd, rave hd, equator hd, gallery hd, treasure hd, animania hd, world cinema hd, world sport hd, rush hd, ultra hd, kung fu hd, fim fest hd, monsters hd, hd news, game play hd, family room hd, disc hd, tlc hd, animal hd, science hd, tbs hd, nbatv hd, hdalt, nhl hd channels, nba hd channels
and the locked ones:
hdppv, hdev1, showtime hd, hbo hdtv, universal hd, espn hd, hdnet movies, hdnet, and tnt hd ALL WORK STILL!!!!
so i really do not watch the SD channels anyway and therefore dont care about the latest ECM other than losing all my BEV HD channels
Cool so thats what the deal is their on that box. Thanks for the updated info....Its not that that box is fixed while others are not, its just that it receives channels the other viewsat's don't...
I have a HD tv and have been concerding that box too
9000 still uses beta bin to work, the box freezes and stops working, so u better wait till oficial realese of bin. culsat,pansat,nfusion, etc get the same channels as 9000 as of now.
I hate to spoil your enjoyment of HD But all of these channels that yo listed are now duplicated on 61.5 echo-st 3 with 2 encryption streams N-1 and N-2 I don't know what it it means at present time
But I tell yo if I purchase every single HD feature I'll pay a lot less than $700 that will last yo few days
After paying $700, you have these channels on your VS9000. "discovery hd, nfl network hd, starz hd east, max, hgtv hd, food, vs/golf hd, mhd, rave hd, equator hd, gallery hd, treasure hd, animania hd, world cinema hd, world sport hd, rush hd, ultra hd, kung fu hd, fim fest hd, monsters hd, hd news, game play hd, family room hd, disc hd, tlc hd, animal hd, science hd, tbs hd, nbatv hd, hdalt, nhl hd channels, nba hd channels "
I am getting the non HD equivalents of these on a pansat 2500A clone and on SONICVIEW 4000. People do not realise that there are a lot of channels still there on Echo 7, Echo 8.1 and Echo 3. I will add NTGEO, HISTI, ARTS, PTNGN, KIDS, SOON,MILTRY, BIOGR, EDUCA, BITV, CNBCW, LINK, STYLE and there are more.
mhd, rave hd, equator hd, gallery hd, treasure hd, animania hd, world cinema hd, world sport hd, rush hd, ultra hd, kung fu hd, fim fest hd, monsters hd, hd news, game play hd, family room hd
you are not getting any of these :D
they are HD only...
and yes there is a lot of open ones from 100-299 some 400's sports some 800's etc...
JB don't push your luck. DN and BEV suppose to encrypt those channels as well, they are waiting for the coders to release their fix. The coders expecting DN and BEV to do so, to lock the rest of the open channels as well. We as users been through that all the time.
