    Quantity or Quality in Your HD channels?

    Just keep in mind the only thing *ish really cares about is money! If they can push lower quality on the masses, and get them to accept it as "HD", ...and in turn add thousands of new subs that don't know any better (because they have never seen true HD, AND because they think they 're getting...

    Help with locals spotbeam signal low.

    I want to be able to watch the local networks. I didn't think an inline amp would boost the signal from 50% to the 80-85% recomended min. I was hoping someone would know of a bigger dish that would pull in the signal alot better. anyone ever try anything like this?

    Does dish lease 942's

    it would be really nice to know when the "962" comes out and what features it will have. I hope it would have dual OTA tuners like the direct hr10-250 does. ota makes up about 90% of the hd we watch and being able to record or record/watch 2 ota channels at once especially during football...

    will dish lease 942's? I don't see a lease option on their website only one for the 811. I purchased a 921 and want to lease a 942, because I don't want to buy another reciever till the mp4's are out. Jason
