    AT&T U-verse Users

    I agree that Uverse is not for everyone. The 2 HD streams can be a problem if teenagers, mother-in-law or whatever want to watch at the same time. Unverse is also lacking in sports packages if that is your thing. I have no issues with HD quality though I suppose some do depending on their...

    AT&T U-verse Users

    I have had Uverse since February 2008. I am very happy with it. I did have some installation problems which required 3 or 4 visits from AT&T installers. Most of the complaints I have seen are due to unrealistic expectations. I am sure there are some bad installs, but generally AT&T...

    Question about U-Verse?

    Johnny Detroit: Like the fact all the TVs are synced with the DVR so you can watch the taped stuff on any TV. Recorded material can only be watched on the TV connected to the DVR. Whole House DVR Is not yet available, it has been promised for later this year. Of course, it may have been...

    Cancelled Dish

    Update on Dish offers since I left. Have been gone five weeks, Dish has called twice to get me back. The last offer for the same service I had previously plus a second HD receiver for 25% of my former cost for one year on a two year commitment. Pretty good price, considering the 622 has been...

    Cancelled Dish

    Well, I guess everyone has their own agenda. I thought someone might be interested in April date given for some additions to Dish. I'll say a little to reply all this speculation. I like Dish in general and the 622 was very nice. It preformed well in providing the HD picture and the DVR...

    Cancelled Dish

    Explained that the Fox channel in Sacramento was not available in HD over Dish for the last two football seasons. The CSR with a bit of attitude says it is not available in HD. I mentioned it is by OTA, on Directv and Uverse. She tells me it is not HD, just upconverted. For the rumor seekers...

    TV2 hookup

    I have a 622 that was running a Sony HD and a RCA CRT in another room. I have replaced the Sony with a Mitsubishi HD and moved the sony to replace the RCA. I transferred the coax from the RCA input to Sony antenna input and then the cable input. I have cylced through the Sony inputs and do...

    HDMI hookup

    Dish installed my 622 about 20 months ago. The HDMI cable is plugged into the 622 and the other end into the TV. However, in the cable between the the HDMI ends is another connection, apparently a male & female connection. It has continued to work properly since installation. I am just...

    Sony a lemon?

    Thanks for all the input. It seems my Sony may be a lemon, but Sony is still one of the better brands on the market. I agree that they are not at the quality level they once were, but their prices are also now more in line with the competition. The sony KDS 60a3000 appears to be one of the...

    Sony a lemon?

    Went out to look for a replacement in the 60" + range. Liked the Samsung HLT 6187 and the Mitsubishi WD 65733 among others. Then I did some research. There is too much information available on the internet! Every set I check out I find someone bashing it for one reason or another. Even...

    Sony a lemon?

    Bought a Sony 60 inch LCD kdf-60wf655 in December 2004. It has an excellent picture, friends with other brands comment that the picture is sharper than theirs. However, at about 14 months the thing died, needed a power board (?) replacement, about $400.00. Fortunately, my credit card...

    Confused about pricing

    It appears the $20.00 HD fee not mentioned. I cannot address the change of dish issue but others surely can, especially if you mention what dish you currently have and where you are located.

    Where have our values gone? An international criminal concerned about a $5.00 fee. Can't you think bigger than that?

    Cancelling Dish to get Direct tv question

    Thanks for the swm info. I am in no hurry. I am avoiding "available soon." The main reason I am leaving Dish is their promise of local channel Fox 40 being in HD "soon." That was almost 18 months ago and has not yet happened. It may sound minor, but 90% of what I watch on local stations is...

    Cancelling Dish to get Direct tv question

    Thanks for the quick reply. The lack of external storage and offloading are not issues in my case. The 622 has 30 hours of HD space available which suits my needs. Is the Directv box similar? The need for a second coax could be a major issue.

    Cancelling Dish to get Direct tv question

    I too am looking at changing to Directv from Dish. Can anyone explain what "features" the 622 dvr has that the Directv box does not? The only item I have seen commented upon is the 30 second skip forward, which is a minor issue to me. Also, several comments seem to imply that two coax cables...

    What HD Channel Do You Want the Most?

    Fox channel 40 in Sacramento. I will be leaving Dish next summer if it not available. I have now missed two football seasons in HD. I like Dish in general, but football accounts for the majority of what I watch on local stations. Besides, I was assurred it was "coming soon" when I signed up...
