They did mention last night that 6000s, 921s and 942s would receive the same upgrade options for the same prices.

If they are planning on moving the channels to 129 what happens to us NorthEasters who can't pick it up?

I compared SD on plasma vs 1080p DLPs at the stores and the plasmas did show a noticable difference in SD quality (as well as all signal quality imo), but I still don't think buying a plasma just to watch SD is the greatest of ideas.

I just hooked up a Panasonic 42" HD Plasma to and 811 HD receiver. I'll start with saying that HD looks absolutely amazing, both Dish's and OTA. Dish's SD ranges from horrendous to acceptable. Some shows at some times are fine to watch, others are almost unbearable. OTA digital SD shows look...

I watched part of Iron Eagle last night and I did not think it was as clear as the average HDNet movie

I called to lease a new HD receiver a week ago and was told I would get either a 411 , 211 or 811. The CSR assured me if I got the 811 it would be replaced with the correct model free of charge and he had me wait while he made that note on my account. So I called back up after the 811 got to...

Well I'll put it this way...I'm 30 miles from Baltimore stations. I hooked up a cheap, non amplified set top antenna to my TV's integrated tuner IN THE BASEMENT (concrete) and picked up most of the baltimore stations. (The 811 tuner missed a couple extras). Then I switched to my powered set...

I personally don't see the big deal. I have never watched a DVD where I could notice ANY defects, so I really don't care about seeing these movies come out in HD

Dish SD looked very strong on our 27" SD set, and SLIGHTLY worse yet still very clear on our 32" SD set. Now with a 42" plasma the SD looks pretty blurry. Some channels aren't bad at all, yet some are horrendous. SD OTA looks fine to me, never any problems. And needless to say any true HD...

I'm personally a fan of the last CSR I talked to, who had ME explain to him the existance of the 211/411 and the spelling of MPEG

IF dish sticks to their plans, Washington DC locals could come out in HD in Feb. But that is a HUGE if

The answer would be no :(

My sound works just fine through the tv's speakers for all my channels, but when I turn on my surround sound (Fed by a toslink optical cable from the 811) the HD channels seem to have a lag associated with the sound. All the SD channels are fine, but HD ones are out of sync. Any ideas?

My 411/211 came as an 811 today. I'll use it for a bit then complain.

I know I've heard rumors of Voom being added to the HD Pack all for one charge, but does anyone even have any guesses of when this might happen? I'm curious because I feel that if I'm subscribing to an HD pack and they add new channels on 61.5, won't it be likely they will provide the...
