    Which is better Dish or DirecTV??

    Dish or Directv Hi Jim, I think that it depends on your needs. I had Directv from 2002 through 2005 and switched to Voom (until they folded). Then I had a year of Comcast. I know what you mean about the blurry fuzzy analog stations with Cable. I have a VIP 622 HDDVR and love it. The HD...

    622 did not live up to my expectations

    Vip-622 As a relatively new Dish subscriber (I joined after the Comcast promotion ended), I have no experience with the 942. I started out with a 622 and a 211. The only HD STBs I can compare them to are the Motorola DCT-6412 from Comcast (actually had 2 of them) and the Motorola HD STB that I...

    Got them ol' 622 HDMI bad output blues

    HDMI and the 622 Interesting ......one fine day after working earlier in the same day, my HDMI output stopped giving an image. I rebooted the box a couple of times but it still did not work. So I took it out and went with component output from the 622. Is rebooting what you mean by...

    OTA and the VIP 211

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. Upon further study, I think it has something to do with the line (from the antenna) feeding the downstairs TV/STB because now I notice that even on the TV (fed by the same antenna) I only get one of the 6 digital sub-channels for that local PBS station (I get...

    OTA and the VIP 211

    Hi all, After on year with Comcast (after 3 years with D* and 1.5 months with Voom until they folded), I am happy to have joined Dish (so far) and wish I had done so when Voom went under. I have the VIP 622 and the VIP 211 and the HD platinum package. Ok finally my question: I have no trouble...

    Quick Facts for 622 and 222

    211 vs the 222 Thanks for the info tawhite! I must admit that a year with Comcast (after 3 years with Directv and 1 and a half months with Voom ) has left me clueless of satellite hardware. So Dish is actually simultaneously broadcasting MPEG-2 (211) and MPEG-4 (622)? Wayne...

    Quick Facts for 622 and 222

    Dish messing with Voom, All are now HD-Lite 1280x1080i: Discuss this issue HERE!

    Hd Pq Do all HD providers give out information on the "resolution' that they will be providing? If so how do I find out about what Comcast is using because I am not impressed with their HD quality. Does going down to 1280 just decrease the width of what is on the screen or does it decrease...

    Gotta ditch Dish Network for Comcast

    Comcast vs Dish PQ in High Def Hi Bulldog, I am sitting on the fence between Comcast and Dish. Need to cancel one installation or the other. I am coming from Voom (left D* to get a month and a half of great HD PQ from Voom ). I never saw D*'s HDPQ (only had SD at the time). I always...

    E* reupped voom cust. w/ 921 for $249

    Question about the 942 I was looking at the PDF pertaining to the 942. I know that it is a dual receiver but I was hoping that it is a dual HD tuner as the sales person told me when I signed up (so I could record in HD while watching another station in HD). The PDF (unless I am reading it...
