Huh? No that's not what I was asking. What I was asking was... TIVO is able to use a home wireless network to download programming and software/firmware updates through the TIVO service. Are these USB ports on the DISH receiver going to be capable of the same thing or is their intention for...

DIsh 508 should have digital optical output. 508 doesn't have HD so you can't get that through your receiver so you should connect the indoor antenna directly to the ATSC tuner input on your tv and if your tv has digital optical output then you should connect that out to your receiver and set...

In my opinion, though I know you didn't ask for it, anyone that can find component cabling should use that on more than one HDTV. When Dish figures that out they might figure some other things out, like customer service for example, but then... hell has to freeze over twice first so I'm wasting...

VIP222 and VIP622 connected via USB to home network? I was looking at the inputs on these two and they have a USB port. Question for those of us who use only cell phones and don't have LAN line, can these new receivers be connected via a home wireless network like TIVO can or is the USB a...

Well that would be just peachy, the thing is, the retailers can swing that. I did it with a 311 when I signed up. Got the $50 credit back without paying anything up front. So I actually made $50 by getting dish through the retailer i bought. If you go through Dish Network, they are horribly...

Thanks. That's very reassuring. I'm already appalled by the level of service they've given me. I got better service when I was getting it for free (for reasons I don't really need to get into). Unfortunately, the free stuff had to end, and alas, I made the mistake of starting a new account...

If I may add to this, if your Pioneer surround sound system as "Optical Digital" input then you need to go to best buy and get an "Optical" cable. It's a single cable with a single connector that uses light to transfer digital sound codes. There isn't really a way to "improve" light transfer so...

yes, coupons are good with ANY financing on a best buy card. Best buy makes a lot of money with the card so they are happy to combine that with a coupon, i should know, i work there. what that means is that they won't combine the 10% coupon with a rebate or other coupon to lower the price...

HDMI-DVI audio choices Hi, I hear your dilemma and I know the answer. The thing is, I don't know what audio inputs you have on your tv or if you have a surround sound receiver with digital audio inputs. If you do, most likely it has optical if it's fairly new in which case, you need that for...

Good questions If you were to connect both YPbPr and DVI-HDMI to your tv from the same source to your tv you would notice a difference, especially from an HD satellite receiver. I suggest that for the best quality overall, if you can trade the receiver you bought for one with HDMI output. You'd...

I need some help and anyone with expertise or knowledge about Dish Network's deals on HD receivers and programming for people who are existing customers but who have been with them less than six months. I know they are more lenient with their deals after you've been with them six+ months, but...
