    new installation - 722 signal levels

    I just got my Vip 722 installed and I noticed that the signal levels aren't near what I used to have a couple of years ago with my 522. I live near Kansas City, MO. 129 seems very low. Is there room for improvement and should I call them to come back and realign the dish??? Perhaps there's...

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    Can the Homezone box browse your computer on your home network and play music directly off of it or does the box have to transfer the music to its own internal HDD before it can play it?

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    Not having an OTA antenna will blow it for me as well. I lost my sweet Comcast deal when I moved last month and I want to get some other service before the end of the year. Looks like it may be back to E* for me with the $199 fee to get the 622. :(

    Dish Network - Better TV for All

    I just switched to Comcast from Dish Network. My locals were HORRIBLY compressed on dish to the point that they were unwatchable on my 51". My analogs look much better than that over-compressed crap that dish puts out.

    Switching from DISH to Cable: how long until I can resubscribe and get a decent deal

    When I left for Comcast cable earlier this month, I was told by the Dish guy that I would be considered a new customer after being gone 3 months. I find that to be pretty short and potentially wrong. If you have SBC in your area, you can sign up through them as a new customer. I have 16...

    Comcast is giving me an HD-DVR for free. So, what's the problem?

    DISH NETWORK slashes prices

    That's why I'm gone come Friday when Comcast comes to hook me up. All they had to do was get me a 942. Oh well. Now I can pay the same amount for service that doesn't cut out during thunderstorms, doesn't need me to ship its box back 3 times, lets me record HDTV...

    Another ongoing 522 issue

    About every morning, my tuner 2 is stuck trying to acquire the satellites and it sits on 0 of 5 until I go reset the box. It used to sit at the info screen every morning but since I've had my 3rd replacement box, it has been doing this.

    Why should I stay with Dish Network and not go with Comcast?

    It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about. DSL is $14.95/mo with a 1 year contract.
