    Two quick questions....

    How do I find out what my dish coordinates are? Under settings it says something about scanning local channels. Will I benefit from doing this? Thank you

    Why no On Demand?

    Sorry if this is a subject that may have been discussed but I am a still new here. Why do we not have On Demand for all channels? I was at my brother in laws who has Fios and was amazed he can watch almost any channel/any show On Demand. Why dont we have that?

    What is the point of DVR on 211vip?

    Ok so I did. I bit the bullet and added my EHD to my 211. I tried doing the Dish N Up and they wanted a 100 bucks. Plus another 100 to install something I could do myself. I figured this would also save me $ monthly. Can someone tell me how to set it up so I can fast forward through...

    If I sign a 2 year contract for 120+ at 44.99 why do they get to raise the price and force

    I have to say I am upset as well. I signed up for Dish in a bundle with my phone company last March. I never once spoke to dish. Only the phone company. They told me I would pay "this price" for the first 2 months and then "this price" for the first year....well..yeah..I am still waiting to see...

    What is the point of DVR on 211vip?

    I would love to be able to get a receiver that is dual tuner with DVR or without that can have a EHD added to. I just cant see myself paying $200 to upgrade. A CSR rep told me to "check back after Feb 1". Not sure what exactly that means. My next question..what is the best size EHD if I were...

    What is the point of DVR on 211vip?

    I recently stumbled upon the fact that you can add an EHD to the 211 to make it a DVR. At first I was excited because I refuse to pay $200 to upgrade to a DVR. I know..dumb me for not taking it free when I signed up. So after doing some research I discovered you cannot watch 1 channel while you...
