    AM21 OTA Module, Diplexers, and DECA and MRV ? ? ?

    Is it possible all this can work together? Just got installed with the whole house DVR set up and the DECA connection to the internet. One thing I had with Dish that I kind of miss was OTA reception using an antenna in the attic and then I used diplexers to backfeed the antenna signal down the...

    My thoughts after 2 weeks on DirecTv vs. last 10 years on Dish

    I hope some find this useful. I was a Dish Network subscriber for more than 10 years. I was always happy with the service and loved the equipment. But over the last 2 years or so, I have become increasingly frustrated with the fees and rate increases, and I was always fighting every 3 months...

    Another Dish Net sub thinking of jumping to Direct - Questions . . .

    Hey guys, I've been a long time subscriber to Dish Network and am seriously thinking of making a switch. Their new Dual DVR fees are killing me. I've always liked the Dish Network equipment better than Direct, but the new HR24 receivers has me rethinking that. Have some questions though, and...

    Ongoing quality problems with 722 blamed on surge protector????

    Well if anyone recognizes my posts, I've been most unlucky with these 722's. My third unit (2nd replacement unit) just died and now I have unit number 4 on its way to me. 722 Unit #1 - HD Audio Dropped out completely, SD Audio worked fine, after about 3 months of use. Also, bad problems...

    Anyone try one of the new Archos Dish compatible players?

    I'm going to have to do quite a bit of international travel (i.e. long, long airplane rides) and was thinking of getting one of the new Archos 605 or 705 players. I already have an AV402E which I have had for several years now, and have gotten a lot of great use out of it. Only complaint is...

    Anyone have a 722 remote 6.3 UHF just die?

    New 722 remote was literally working one minute, and gone the next. Batteries are good, the appropriate mode buttons light up when you press a button, and it still flashes back the appropriate codes when I check them for each device. But nothing responds anymore . . TV, satellite, DVD or the...

    Have you purchased any HD PPV Movies

    Given all the discussion surrounding limited capacity and the recent addition of HD PPV, I thought it would be interesting to know how popular the HD PPV channels are. If no one is using them, they could dump a few and free up bandwidth for more channels. I have my own perspective on the HD...

    722 Remote doesn't accept the DVD code

    This is a strange one, and I thought I'd see if anyone here has any ideas. Just recently got my 722 upgrade (finally! but that's another story). The remotes that came with it will not accept the DVD code programmed to the VCR button like my 622 remotes will. I'm using the Onkyo-DVD code which...

    722's on Back-order!

    Ordered a 722 upgrade two weeks ago. The first time they scheduled an install saying a service tech was rquired, but then they blew off the appointment. After that, they agreed to simply ship the 722 which was supposed to arrive last week, but still no show. So I called back today, and now...

    External Hard Drive Prices at Best Buy and Circuit City change dramatically!

    I have noticed this two weeks in a row now. Western Digital and some of the Seagate External hard drives are much cheaper on Saturday than they are on Sunday. Would never have noticed this, but I bought the 500GB MyBook Essentials from Best Buy on Saturday for $119. Turns out the drive was...

    Dish Mover confusion

    It turns out I have to move from Austin to Phoenix and just confirmed my move for the first week of December. I thought I would be proactive and go ahead and set up the Dish Mover well ahead of time and make sure I get a decent install date for right after we move into our new house. So I...

    721 Freezes occasionally on local CBS station only???!!

    OK, here's a weird one . . . I have noticed over the last few weeks that my 721 will all of the sudden just freeze, as if I have hit pause on the remote, but of course no pause icon on the screen. I can back up a little with the PVR, play it back, and it will freeze again at the same point...
