vintage is probably not the right choice of words, outdated might be a better choice. I'm just looking for some advice as audio receivers aren't an area of strength for me.

I recently moved into new house where I will be able to set up a home theater system. A combination of many things (including laziness) stopped me from doing so over the last 15 yrs or so. I pulled 4 receivers from storage that have either been used by me or family members in some capacity...

sorry for the questions but I guess I don't understand the benefit of having the 2 tuners (other than being able to record 7 things at one time vs 5 with the genie/mini). I will try to hold on to them but my house wasn't previously wired for anything so there may be issues with wiring in 3...

Peds48: Thanks for the msg. Can you tell me why that is? Also, I think that I have had the 2 older ones for quite a while so I may actually have bought those vs. leasing. Does anyone know how long the leasing program has been going on? I know that I used to just buy my boxes up until a...

Turns out that I was out of contract so I had a bit of leverage. I think I did alright. I am sure I could have done better but I am fine not pushing my luck. Ultimately, I got the move package (free move/install, free upgrades of my two older boxes, and Sunday Ticket Max). As for getting my...

Jcrandall - thanks for quick response and good info. Do you know if there is somewhere I can find out when my contract is up with out contacting them? Does it show anywhere on my profile on the DTV website? I couldn't locate it anywhere and looked for a while but I am sure I could have missed...

I haven't called yet but I am planning on doing so this week. My intention is not to get ST or anything special/extra. I am looking to lower my bill. I have been a DTV subscriber for over 15 years and only once (just about 2 years ago) called and threatened to cancel. This time I am very...

I had ST for quite awhile but cancelled about 3 yrs ago. I got it again this yr along with the Max package bc my kids have swim meets throughout Oct-Jan. my thought was that I would be able to watch my Bears play during these swim meets but I think I'm going to have an issue. I live in the...

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I think I will stand pat with what I have. Here's hoping that we meet up in the Big 10 Championship but even I don't have that much Orange kool-aid to think that my ILLINI are going to be much better than last year....:cheers:

On the directv app there is a remote control device that you can use but I don't know that it is any different than the other remotes and/or if will only change the channel on one box or all of them. Not sure if that is what the OP was referring to but thought I would make mention.

Still hoping for an answer here for my Genie question. I recently got a Genie 44 and a mini-Genie to go along with my HR-22 and HR-24. I put the Genie in the family room as the main box, the mini-Genie in the basement which will be for the kids and I moved the worst one (HR-22) to my office to...

scratch everything I just said...:)

JCrandall - thanks for the response. So, if I am reading you correctly, if my mini-genie (C41) is just going to sit in the basement there really isn't much of an advantage to getting the wireless, correct? As for the 22 and 24, soon after I posted it I was able to figure it out so both are now...

Dumb question probably but what is DNS (or VIP Channels)? Is this referring to specific programming packages? I have Choice Xtra Classic (which as everyone knows is no longer offered as a package) and I have had for over 10 years and it has survived 2 moves using the "Movers Connection" and I...

Not necessarily tied to the original post but I do have a Genie question and didn't want to start a new thread about it.  I recently got a Genie 44 and a mini-Genie to go along with my HR-22 and HR-24.  I put the Genie in the family room as the main box, the mini-Genie in the basement...

I wanted to bump this one to get the answers I was looking for. I was able to figure out how to do the Avatar but I have not been able to figure out my other questions. Any help would be appreciated.

- Choice Xtra Classic (debating pros/cons of giving up this one and going either one up/one down). - NFL ST for 9 of last 10 years (didn't have it last year). This is my first year free AND first year with Max - Free HD Extra - Movie promo deal (HBO, SHO, Starz, etc) for free for 6 months...

I am in the suburbs of Chicago and just had a Genie 44 and a mini-Genie installed 2-3 weeks ago. I requested the 44 and the CSR said that was what was going to be there. I forgot to tell them not to come if they brought a 34 but it ended up not mattering. The installer showed up with a 44 and...

you mean I'm not the only one? I loved that movie the first time I saw it and only liked it more with each viewing. I am not all that into artsy stuff but the camera work on that movie was fantastic. Also, I loved the soundtrack as well and once saw it on cd at a store and said I had to have...

Harshness - thanks for the feedback. Sorry for not being specific on some of the things you mentioned. I assumed people would see my location (St Charles, IL) and realize it was Chicago...I suppose I should've just said so. I am in the Chicagoland area and my teams are local (Bears, Bulls...

This my first post on the Dish forum and leading up to it I have read many other posts while looking to make sure I am not reposting the same ol' same ol'. I couldn't find one that is looking for exactly what I am looking for but still apologize if this is a retread. Background: I have been...

Whitewolf - thanks for the welcome and I would agree that this is the best source for this information. It only strengthens my belief that I don't know anything about this stuff :confused: but really want to learn. Chip/Hutch - Thanks for all of the information. Let me know if this sounds...

Chip - Thanks for the welcome as well as for the information. Re: the HR 34, is the primary benefit of this box being that it would allow me to record 5 things at one time? Is there any other benefit to it? I watch a good amount of tv but I can't say it is ever enough that there are 3 things...

I didn't want to start a new thread about something that is very similiar to what Charles is asking but I also don't want to pirate his thread so I apologize in advance Charles if I am doing so. I just found this site and it appears that there are a lot of people on here who know a TON about...
