    "Super" (LOL) Dish question??

    I would just hook up the 110 to a reciever, run a check switch, find 110 and peak that signal pretty good. Then hook up everything to the switch like it should be, run a check switch, and see what you have.

    Don't like Dish's Answers to Locals in HD - Here's an answer

    For me, if FOX, ABC, and NBC would actually broadcast at full power and in HD I'll be happy because will a big enough antenna I can probably get 2 of those three. Not sure if that will ever happen. In the mean time OTA CBS HD is great.

    Will ABC-HD be available for Superbowl?

    The superbowl will be digitally broadcast in amazing SD quality at a power level of 3kw about 25 miles away (for me anyway). My 811 will pick it up (signal level around 70). The really sad part is that it looks worse on the LiL channel I get from dish :(

    Omaha Steaks

    I have relatives that farm so I usually get a 1/2 a beef and a whole hog once in a while from them. Just put a processed hog in the deep freeze last sunday. The meat is better than any prime I've eaten in a restaurant. None of the meat is 'rated' on the packaging and everything is by the...

    How does E* determine your "need" for a Dish 1000?

    What about current superdish customers. I Dish 1000 won't get me my locals from 105. I already have a SD105 and a D500 pointing at 61.5 that works great. Will they just ship me a 211 to replace my 811?

    Most likely upgrade path for existing customers - discussion

    My opinion... It's in E*'s best interest to have all HD channels at mpeg-4. If they switched all of them to mpeg-4, current mpeg-2 HD receivers wouldn't get the HD channels. If that happened they would have to replace HD receivers for free or face legal action for requiring a new receiver...

    Auto switch 1080i to 720P

    Not true. DVI will only output what you select in the menu's. The reason is that some TV's will only do 1080i (like mine) and I watch ESPNHD via DVI (most of the bowl games). In your case, with the setting at 720p, a 720p broadcast will be output at 720p....and so will all the 1080i channels.

    Freezing on HDNet Movies? Anyone else?

    The break-ups are really annoying. I've been home during the day lately burning some vacation time before I lose it....some decent movies on HDNET movies too bad it freezes. Very frustrating. Kids watching The Goonies "Dad, stop doing that" every few minutes.

    Help! Service turned off because of lack of phone connection!

    When I signed up about a year ago (I think) for the second time (I was a long time previous customer)...I asked if I needed a phone line. I was told NO. Just for pay per view. I said good, because I don't have a landline.

    Will DISH exchange 811 for 411?

    I would guess it will have the HDMI to DVI adapter included. If not you can get one fairly cheap. HDMI is kinda like DVI + Audio on one cable.

    Title Pixelation w/ 811 HD

    It is on 1080i.

    Title Pixelation w/ 811 HD

    Yeah, I've seen this. Reboot it (hold down the power button on the reciever until the light goes out) and it's usually fixed on mine.

    Dish MPEG-4 411 Outputs

    I won't like it if it doesn't have a UHF remote. I have everything hidden away under the stairs, plus I rf-modulate the output to a bedroom TV. I'm not suprised though, it probably costs a couple bucks extra to build and the majority of users won't need UHF.
