WTB - Bell Receiver

[Engine09]

Just looking for an old Standard Definition receiver to throw in the bedroom. Something cheap, don't really care what model it is.

My suggestion would be to just buy a new basic one for $100. I know Bell makes it hard for somebody to buy a used one. Last time I looked into it there's a $35 fee to transfer ownership, plus another fee is the card is missing or not compatable. Then there's an issue if the previous owner had a balance owing. And as we know; the previous owner may have thought they paid their final bill, but Bell has been known to make mistakes.

Now that I think about it, I'm going to step up and buy the brand new Bell HD Dual Tuner PVR and throw my exisiting 6100 in the bedroom.

Yep, that's the model that I asked you about a year ago, finally came out on Oct 24th.

Let me know how you like it. I'm thinking of doing the same thing; new 9242 and the 6100 into the bedroom. (Or the garage.)

For sure, I'll let you know. Most likely pick it up this weekend.

Just need to start calling around, has to be somewhere selling it for less than $599.

I picked up a 9242s yesterday. Yep, my 6200 goes to the bedroom. I couldn't find any deals so paid the full $599. I have it up and running but I had my moments of feeling like an idiot while my SD channels disappeared and remote 2 wouldn't work.
Everything came in the box except the coaxial cable, so I may have to buy some more or cut up what I've got to feed into the SW44. Right now I have it running from two SW22s. Nice new toy for Christmas.

Just be sure you are using the SW44, and not trying to use any sort of cable splitter. Because in the satellite world there is no such thing as a splitter.

See option#3 here if you need some direction.

I have had the 9200 dual tuner for quite a while and it has worked fine for me. The best part is my five year old has TV in his room without a reciever. I had a bit of a problem getting it hooked up right, but once I got it all straightened out it has worked perfect (yes I was using the right switches) I can't remember what I did wrong but it wasn't that big of a deal.

You give some great instructions Ken and was one of the first things I looked at when I first went to DHC. Right now I'm using example #4 in a two dish setup but will do the setup as described in example #5 soon.
