    A couple questions about Sling TV

    Thanks Tampa8. I did read that. Also, on Sling's website, where it lists compatible devices, it does NOT list the Roku streaming stick. ???

    A couple questions about Sling TV

    Thanks guys. Are you saying they would need 2 accounts AND a Roku stick for each TV? If they watched the same thing on 2 different TV's, would they need 2 accounts and 2 Roku sticks?

    A couple questions about Sling TV

    My daughters are trying to get rid of Directv to save money, and I thought Sling may be part of the solution. 1) Since they have 2 TV's, would they need 2 devices to stream Sling(Roku stick, etc?). 2) If they wanted to stream 2 different things at the same time, would they need 2 Sling...

    Is there no demand for the 811 anymore ?

    I've been trying to sell my old 811 receiver on Craigslist and a local HT forum with no luck. Is there just no demand for it anymore? I've got the box, manual, and 2 working remotes. I've had a couple people respond, asking about what card is in it. When I tell them it never came with one, I...

    Mitsubishi HC3800 projector !!

    It's not that. The Epson 8100 is a popular projector, and should have it's own thread.

    Mitsubishi HC3800 projector !!

    The HC3800 has a 29% image offset. If your screen is 52" tall like mine(106" diagonal) the image offset is 15".

    Blu-ray Rentals Likely $1.50 a Night at Redbox Kiosks

    That's a damn good deal. It may be confusing having Blu and DVD's in the same machine though.

    What's the value of an 811 receiver?

    Thanks. I saw one person on Ebay selling the 811 for $50, "Buy Now". Just to make sure I have this right, if a person is a Dish customer, and hooks up the 811 with an OTA antenna, will they be able to receive their locals in HD?

    What's the value of an 811 receiver?

    Since I no longer have Dish, I want to sell an 811 receiver that's been packed away. But I have no idea what it's worth or what to ask. What do you guys think? It can only be used to pick up OTA programming( if you're a Dish customer) is that right? Thanks.

    Thanks guys. I decided against this fiasco, using 2 boxes.

    How to hook up this equipment to do....

    Thanks Iceberg. I'm confused about splitter port 2. I run a coax from splitter port 2 to converter box 2, and then what? And what adjustments/settings do I need to do to watch one OTA channel while recording another channel? Thanks.

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    I finally received the "box" today to return my 2 receivers. The 2 CSR's were both wrong(they said I'd receive 2 boxes, and would cost $15 per box). Anyway, $15 is better than $30.

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    YES, you read it correctly. That's why I called back a couple days later, and it was verified by the second person. I'm still waiting for the boxes. It will be up to 10 days to receive them.

    YEP. Use the boxes or else!!!

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    I don't know if it would be cheaper, but I was told if I don't use the provided boxes and labels, I'd still be charged $15 per receiver. I called again yesterday and this was verified by another Dish agent. I still say it's just a way to stick it to us who cancel. The funny thing is, I've always...

    Need antenna installer in Bridgeport CT area

    I remember when I was looking to have an antenna installed about 6 years ago, nobody wanted to do the job. My son and I wound up putting it up. The couple guys that did return my call said they were not interested.
