Hey guys, I haven't been to the forums for a while as I haven't had satellite service in about a year due to financial problems. I've finally patched that up and about to reactivate my tv service through dish. Problem is I have a 811 receiver and I'm wondering if I can still use this for HD or...

I've been talking to max online about this and I said that getting a broker to get him the equipment would likely not be the problem but the satellite footprints them self probably would. I know some people in canada and mexico can get the service. Any alternatives for him? I know he's looking...

The 811 works fine, i've had it for about 8 months now and I've had no problems. The only issue is the fact it can't save the tv guide and after 3 days you have to update. Another one being lack of search issue. Yeah ESPN HD does suck only like 20 percent of the time are live games shown in...

I'm really interested in this channel. I don't think it's possible due to the fact WWE 24/7 is a video on demand channel but is there any news of DISH getting this channel in the future?

Yeah I guess we were lucky this year I don't know how badly you guys got hit by Ivan by Fort Walton got hit REALLY hard. I don't ever want to live the experience like I did with Ivan. I evacuated this time but last year it was impossible to sleep because those winds were pretty damn scary. The...

The hurricane was pretty weak. Just a small dent on the dish but everything appears fine. The reason I mentioned it is I didn't WANT the dish to be a projectile. I took everything out of my yard to reduce damage hence the reason for the question so nobody got hurt from it. Ever seen a coconut...

And I'm finally getting DISH back. We had some financial problems and DISH was one of the least priority of bills to pay off but my mother finally paid that bill after I agreed to pay the phone bill -_-. She sent a moneygram how long does that take anyways.

I like the picture quality of Dish HD it looks really clear. Never seen DirecTV's. Cox's is horrible.

Should I take down the dish since a hurricane is coming here in NW florida? I mean I wouldn't want it to be a projectile flying around possibly hitting someones house. It survived Ivan last year but this is a much bigger hurricane. Think it should be good? It's a superdish mounted on a pole in...

Alright I guess my next pay check tuesday I will get that second dish.

Well what I was trying to say is I have a superdish, 105, 110, 119. When we signed up a year and a half ago we did it to benefit the entire family. I never really knew we needed a seperate box for hdtv or whatever. I had a plasma in the other room but we were just concerned about how many...

Tuesday I get paid. Looks like I will have a tech come out and install that second dish. I've been waiting for hd content for a while anyways.

So would you guys consider it efficient buying a 2nd dish? I mean would buying one for 61.5 be efficient or not really? Would it be futureproof? Simon keeps telling me because I live in florida it'd be a birdbath.

I own my 811, bought it off ebay brand new and had it activated. Am I good?

Weird. They just told me I would need to already have a HD package before I could get VOOM's. add 5 dollars for the voom programming, 15 dollars a month.

The reason I ask is a lot of people are saying 110 already is full. I would hate for the channels to be compressed even more but it just seems kind of inefficient having 2 dishes. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with 1 dish in my yard but 2 kinda looks rediculous especially where I live you...

Just want your suggestion. With the new voom lineup looks like everyones saying at first all the content will be on 61.5 but will be mirrored on 148 later on. I've also heard rumours of them adding it in the future to 110. I'm using a Superdish and I'm not even positive I can get LOS for 61.5...

There moving to the 110 location? Is it possible to get signal from 2 satellites at the same orbital position? I'm wondering if I can get 61.5 as well, I should be able to don't see why not but I'm thinking they're gonna install a dish 500 right next to my superdish. Theres sure some tall trees...

Man I'm sorta screwed. I have a superdish and a DP34 so not enough room for another feed, kinda po'ed. I called dish and they said for 100 bucks they can setup a larger switch and a 2nd dish for me. Is it worth it?

For your HDTV that you want recording abilities you will need either a 942 receiver or a 921, I think the 921 is cheaper. That records plus gives you HD ability The other 3 tv's you only need 301 receiver (3 of them).

Right but I'm sure their not continuously sending a signal to attempt to deactivate the box. If they did that with everyone I think that'd be bandwidth issues galore. I'm sure they randomly try to deactivate it but I'm just saying if someone were to plug in their receiver from time to time seems...

I just hope it doesn't affect me. I have an EDTV plasma and I'm running at 1080i but I realize it downrezes to my tv's true resolution of 480p. I think the 1080i looks better as a setting than the 480p though.

Before you read NO I am NOT into hacking and NO I am not attempting to do anything illegal, I am asking because it's one of those questions that has been picking away at my brain. Dish network uses one way satellite dish antennas. Some of us don't have our phone lines plugged in or can't...

Well that was quite funny, I guess he assumed because it's a satellite forum that we would tell him how to get free programming.

I honestly don't know what is better in my area. I live in a military town which we are considered a smaller town. We don't have sidewalks and we sure as heck aren't a popular town, I live on the panhandle of florida and we have Cox Communications for our cable provider. While they offer Cable...
