Will Singbox SOLO still work after the DTV transition? It doesnt have a digitaltuner right?

Actually the DTV transition has nothing to do with this device. Cable and Satellite are unaffected by the transition.

I use this unit to get "air" digital and record it just fine. No card used, needed or accessible in this unit. It is not a DirecTV or DISH style unit. It is used instead of either of those two .. in my set up. I am not sure what exactly Michael is referring to when he stated "...a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels ..." because mine sees all the local, digital "air" channels. It is not a "satellite" receiver. And it works very well as intended.

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

No because is a bluray player. You can use it out of the box. Any driver you need it'll install automatically as long as you are on line. Hope this helps you.

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

I have had no problem getting OTA digital stations. The box has a connection for a satellite, dont have a dish, but I see no reason it should not work. What the box does is select what input you send to each tv. It doesnt care what the signal is, it just switches it.

Yes you can -- but it is not a stand alone DVS system. You will need to still have the Serato Scratch Live box if you want to use digital vinyle. The newer version of this, the DDJ SZ, has DVS support built in. For standard vinyle, you can use this no problem.

It had problems with my Directv Box. It would display the video initially, but when changing the channel to one with a different video signal (1080p channel to 720P channel, etc.) the screen would take 5-10 seconds to show the video if I was lucky, but most of the time the screen would go black and I could only hear the audio. It worked great with my PS3, Xbox, and PC.

I have the same t.v. I have my direct t.v. satellite box hooked into my receiver through an optical cable. There is a delay when I switch channels on the sat box but when the audio comes on, it is in sync with the tv. You might want to try it that way if its an option. I like it.

If that occurs you'll experience some freezes or a black screen instead. The box won't reboot unless you do it manually. Usually whe mine drops i switch back to SD channels and then flip back to HD when it goes back up. Hope this answers your question. Cheers :)

I just found this FAQ about it that provides more info too:http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=371710Sounds like the TivoHD is going to be roughly comparable in speed to my Series 2 when transferring HD shows (versus SD on the S2).They don't mention anything about needing a special program, so I assume most DVD decoders will work? Windows Media Player should work too if that's the case.

I have no experience with Direct TV settop boxes or DVRs, but SD is usually only a stereo signal, while HD will be Doby Digital 5.1 audi signal. The Pioneer VSX21 which I own, will have less volume on the 5.1 signal because the available power from the power supply is divided 5 different ways, compared to just two ways with a stereo signal. The Stereo signal should be much louder. Just turn up the volume when listening in the 5.1 DD mode. You should be OK. I have not yet burnt out the amp in the receiver.

I don't think so. I don't think the duo is configured to that. Besides, DTV does not have their own internet, they have a third party to do the internet service.

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.
