You may be right about the video card issue, Jim. My PC is circa 2001 and I was planning on replacing it ... I wish I could say that I'll post an update soon but I won't know until I reopen my cottage in April. If so, I'll give the on-screen remote a chance. I also get a lot of off-color...

I agree, RT-Cat. I like the one on the bottom. I have low bandwidth so the on-screen remote has a refreshing issue ... parts of the image always look like a strobe ight ... at least, I think that's why it flashes so bad. But the option to choose would definitely be better. I like the...

Dish Chat Tech Support was clueless on this. I'm watching Dish Online and most of the time I have the full controls on the bottom of the image with skip, pause, play, enter channel, up, down, etc. Then all of a sudden in the same session, I get the four-button bar, with only volume, on-screen...

Sweet ... thanks CK. What else are you picking up besides 129? I have the Turbo HD dish set-up with three eyeballs ... I have hung and pointed my own dish since 1999 so I have no probem dealing with that myself if they'll let me.

Gasman raised a new question for me ... is there any advantage to being pointed at 61.5 versus 129? It seems that at 61.5, my reception is much more fickle than it used to be before I had HD. Can I request to be pointed at 129, even if there is a fee associated with that?

Wow … I went on a business trip and came back to this ... so much information … and I actually understood most of it! I think the bottom line for me is that since it would only be a temporary solution, I will cool my jets for a while. I was going to put this unit in my work room so it’s not...

I have a 508 DVR that I would like to put back into service but I am now pointed at 61.5 and whatever other satellite(s) that catches (72/77?) My question is, would I need to reinstall my old Dish 500 to point at 110/119 or will it pick up signal from my current configuration? Thanks to any...

Let's say I have a Dish 500 (110 and 119) and HD (61.5) with two dishes and two 722ks already hooked up. Is it feasible to add a 508 (that I already own) to this configuration with some minor splitters/equipment modifications that I could do myself? I don't really need to know HOW this is done...

I just read though about 100 comments here and I am both confused and pissed. I have Gold 250 with HD and locals on a 722, and I just replaced my owned 508 with a 722k this month ... plus I just talked my mother-in-law into DISH because I was generally pleased with the service over the past 10...

Thank you, rv1pop ... you are the man.

I may be new here but I like a good deal ... I think ... what does this thing do? I am currently a DISH subscriber. Just a quick explanation ... thanks!
