Yes it does and thank you. I was thinking of buying 2nd hand from ebay but am leery of a distance sale esp when the difference in price between flea bay and new is $140 in some cases=peace/loss of mind. How did you learn so much about qualifying this receiver? Thanks again. --- In [email protected], "Jeff Adkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ***The following is what every buyer of a 4DTV receiver should know before purchasing: > > Check the Systems Option Screen; Options 6, 5.

If it doesn't, then chances are the Unit ID is corrupt and will not receive digital channels. The unit receiver number, Options 6, 5, Line B should also match the U/A number on the back of the receiver. > If you buy from another seller, ask questions first, because many have a As-Is, No Return Policy! > Some of these DSR 920 units being sold on ebay have dead batteries and as a result will not receive digital channels or store memory once unplugged for 15 minutes. > Another way of checking the receiver is to check the time display & satellite & channel number. If time is at 12:00 and when On/Off button is pressed on front panel and it shows only a 1, then that indicates no memory is stored, usually caused by a dead battery. > > Hope this helps. > > Jeff > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: intricate.rm > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007 11:45 PM > Subject: [TVRO] How do I detemine if a 4DTV 922 receiver is functioning properly? > > > Hello...what questions should I ask of a 4DTV 922 owner selling his > receiver?
