    World Cup in June

    U.S. vs. England in the World Cup on June 12th. Fox Soccer Channel is going to HD this month. Where is Dish on getting some decent soccer coverage in HD? The World Cup is sort of a big deal ;)

    Getting Sirius while away from 722

    The Crane unit gets a lot of mediocre reviews. I'm thinking the kit is the way to go unless I can score a completed one on eBay for a good price.

    Getting Sirius while away from 722

    Or this one. But now I see someone has already posted the C.Crane version - oops. The power is 250mV at 3m which they say is the max. allowed by the FCC.

    2nd tuner on 625 powered on constantly

    Is there any problem leaving the second tuner on a 625 powered up all the time? Will it prevent necessary updates or anything like that?

    Getting Sirius while away from 722

    I already do, via Dish. Yes has the answer - a FM transmitter sounds great. THANKS!

    Dish Ent. magazine or OnSat

    Onsat supposedly has a Dish-specific version too.

    Getting Sirius while away from 722

    Is there any technology or equipment that would allow us to listen to Sirius while on the porch or yard that doesn't involve running speaker wire?

    Dish Ent. magazine or OnSat

    One person in our newly satellited-up household is elderly and would appreciate a printed program guide. Which magazine is better with regard to program listings and also articles?

    HD picture quality not as good as before?

    So MPEG4 means better quality and not just less bandwidth? That's good news.

    New install - anything to be wary of?

    Thanks, I should be getting some local HD according to E*, on the 61.5 sat. Am I going to need one dish or two?

    New install - anything to be wary of?

    I signed up for AT 250 and HD Essentials and locals for 5 sets. Two boxes (one "enhanced" which I assume is a 722 and one other) for 4 sets and I guess I'll have to put a splitter off of one to go to the 5th set. I'm in NW NC and I think the dish has to be pointed WSW. If that's correct then...
