    Waiting for 811 end of February Fix...

    Supposedly the next round of fixes for the 811 are supposed to arrive by end of February (I thought this included fixes for OTA channel mapping and 2 day program guide). Any update to the list of fixes or a delivery date? I'd imagine they won't send it on a Friday - so I'd say today through...

    Dish 501 SW34 compatible?

    Dish 501 DP34 compatible? Looking at buying a 501 for a PVR demo (never had one, want to know if I'd like it), but not certain if it is Dishpro compatible. Most research 'indicates' it is, but before I drop $175 on it, I want to make certain. Thanks! Chris EDIT: Found the answer on a...

    What is ETA for 811 fixes? - Rad, Scott?

    Rad - any update on the fixes? Scott - have you heard anything. I won't post my list of issues since the major once have been rehashed enough times, but I would like an idea on time. Rad mentioned this past weekend, but that didn't happen. It would be nice if Dish could give us an...

    Buying HD hardware for Pegasus provided service

    As the title says - any suggestions? Pegasus doesn't sell HD hardware. BB,CC, etc won't give you the hardware for the standard price (its an additional $150). Is there a keyword to get Pegasus to subsidize hardware? Chris

    New subscriber on the cheap...

    I would like to get HD Pack - and I have a couple questions: How long will the HD Pack stay on 110 after the SuperDish launch? Can a new subscriber get the $199 deal by calling Dish and mentioning it? If I call them and say I want to pay $5, +$9.99 for the HD Pack and will commit to a...

    Tell me why I SHOULDN'T do DHP

    With the 811/522 offers looking very attractive (40 months before the lease price outweighs a discounted 811 at $199 - 80 months at full $399) DHP seems attractive to me. So what if they require a 1 year commitment? I'd have to do that for the discounted SuperDish or 811 deal anyway. So...
