Does CC work w/satellite? Will this Sharp Aquos 52" give me CC?

I don't know about Directv but The Dish network has CC built into their receiver. look in your setup menus.

You do not lose satellite functionality with this unit. However, I will say that the bluetooth streaming was distorted and the USB port would not charge my Android phone. These 2 things led me to return the unit.

I have not managed to get it to work. I installed the latest software update on the TV, but am still getting no signal when plugging in Chromecast (CC). Have you managed to get it to work?

I bought WD TV live to watch my Slingbox and home cable. Works great, except it's not very compatible with my home cable's remote/programing, etc. Pretty typical of these after market devices. No account is needed with WD TV. Don't know what a 'cc on file' is and I didn't have to do that. I had purchased a Netgear Neo first and it was junk. I returned it and bought the WD. Enjoy!!

No the Satellite C855D-S5230 doesn't have an HDMI port. The Satellite Laptop we also own, L855-S5244 does have an HDMI port. Go figure!

I have not received mine yet, there is a Youtube vedio in the setup. You will have to program the Freq, and polarization with the correct modulation, and encoding for the satellite you are trying to get the peak signal on. If you can send me your email. kennethnelson33@msn.com. Its an European satellite finder that will work in the states. You need to know, if you are point at DVB-S or DVB-S2. http://www.lyngsat.com/ and http://www.dishpointer.com/.

It works with my DirectTV Satellite Receiver. I cannot get high definition but thats because of the antenna not the control center. One of these days I will upgrade my satellite dish to high def.

If both the Sat unit and standard TV have RCA inputs, it should work. I have my transmitter connected to my DISH satellite HD box and receiver to an older TV (not flat) in my garage. It works as long as the distance isn't too far. I also have another receiver connected to a flat screen TV. Both receiver is working off the same transmitter and it works rather well. As Simmy Taub indicated in his/her message, coaxial or S-Video inputs will require a converter to accept the RCA connections.

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.

Yep same with mine. I maybe get one small cc stick. Not worth the set up and mess. Disappointed

you do have to have a satellite dish. hope you have better luck than i did. i got one it did not work. sent it back and they sent me another one that also did not work. i have another receiver so i know it is not my system. There support team just said they knew it worked so I just took the loss.

I am not familiar with that receiver, depends on the type service you subscribe to. HD service requires a high def satellite Dish which is also available from Amazon. This particular kit is for regular Dish network programing and has worked well with my 311 receiver that I purchased from Dish. Dish also has a R.V. team that will help you.

I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. I wish I could help but I have Dish Satellite and I get all the channels. I have no idea except for you to check your information booklet that came with the TV to make sure that you have all the cables connected correctly. You can also call Toshiba as they are very helpful.

Sorry I don't know. I had an issue with mine not acquiring satellites. I had to return it for another one.

Because the satellite transmission would interfere with the moca box on your network, so your network would probably work but you wont get a signal, its only currently compatible with regular cable tv. Though I read there is a work around to make it work with satellite tv but that it was complicated for the average consumer so they market it as incompatible as of now until they come out with a work around.

No. There are still a few radios around that have the old TV band (like the original CCrane "CC" model) but I don't know of any that get the current digital TV signals (this one doesn't get the old bandwidth either, just AM/FM and the SWs it advertises).

Check with DirecTV first but I think that you could get it to work in a degraded mode (see my review). If you add the two components that I mention in my updated review then it will probably work normally or you could get the kit that already includes those components. The pleasant advantage that I have discovered having added the two components is that they are easily interchanged with a quick release mechanism and the inexpensive alignment tool included with this kit makes finding the satellites extremely easy with out the need of an expensive $400 tool required to do the same thing with the SWiM model. Anyway it should work, but I have not tried the HR44/200 so I cannot confirm it. Check with DirecTV first but I think that you could get it to work in a degraded mode (see my review).
