IIRC, the dual tuner one, you'll have to run a cable from either upstairs to downstairs, or vice versa. Optionally, you might be able to get a wireless transmitter/receiver (like from x10) to do this wirelessly, if you can't fish the cables.

I just checked... I have a Superdish pointing at 110, 119, and 121 with two LNB's going to the 3-input,4-output DP34 (I guess that's what the '3' and the '4' in DP34 stands for). I didn't climb on my roof again, so can't tell if it's the plastic or the metal one. When I was up there the other...

when they replaced the LNB, did they also replace cabling, or left cabling intact? I've called on the phone, and they basically said they'll charge me $ to send a guy out, unless it's their equipment. When asked for details, "their equipment" only includes receivers and LNBs, not cabling or...

I've been having the same problem these past few weeks on my two 522's. Called customer service multiple times. They always blame the cable, since it's not covered, while if it was the equipment, it would be covered. I finally got to the supervisor, who said "no one else is reporting this...

*sigh* I'm on the phone with a CSR right now who's telling me that I can't get NBC-HD until April 1st. :( I'm in Orange County... LA area (DMA)... wierd. Edit: The Orange County in Southern California, that is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought those who purchase still have to pay an 'additional outlet fee' of $4.99 (currently) So, the number changes for any extra receivers: Lease: $5 leasing fee, $5 DVR fee = $10/month for each receiver above the 1st Purchase: $4.99 additional outlet fee...

not all information bring fulfillment, and ignorance is bliss. :)

I'm guessing you're right and it'll be a lease, probably because Dish gets all the money in a lease program, while I'm guessing they only see around 25% on retail boxes. Meaning, for a $400 (to the customer) sold receiver, they get $100, which amounts to 20 months of $5 rental. If they can get...

in case your spouse wants to know what you taped while she was out. :D

pretty funny typo, actually. he doesn't know what he doesn't know. :D Just found it strange that you seem to have emailed their sales and equipment branch instead of tech support.

No, I'm not. There's not much this thread is going to do to solve your problem because I doubt any of us here have access to the sourcecode, fix changes, and push them to your 721. In fact, I'd say that posting here has 0% chance of getting anything fixed at all, so all you end up with is just...

iirc, these 'web awards' are pretty much marketing gimicks created by the so called award company to get companies to pay them $$. IIRC, this is the same as the "Who's who" series of products where the 'recipient' always have to pay some amount of $$ to get x, (where x can be 'the publication...

there's an interactive weather channel in dishhome? I was looking for that during a recent thunderstorm and all I got on WTC was rita and katrina news.

will residents in Los Angeles automatically qualify, or just for CBS-HD?

wouldn't complaining to Dish directly be more useful? Call a CSR, they're paid to listen to your complaints.
