    golf channel HD 401??

    Okay, just called him. His Sats are 77, 72, and 61.5 None of them have a red x. He also told me the only way he can bring up channel 401 on the guide is to make sure its set for all channels. If he sets it to My HD Channels it does not list channel 401. Thanks again

    This is kind of a two part queston: Part one, Both my TV's are hooked up to the 625 using RG6 cable. Can I cut the wire feeding TV-2 in the basment and insert a splitter and run a wire to the kitchen for a third TV? I understand that TV-2 and the kitchen TV will only be able to view the same...

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    Scott, Is AT&T still supporting you? The day I called to order it is the day they stopped taking new orders due to the DPCU, the Attorney Generals office and the Courts.

    taking remotes apart?

    I get my Dish through AT&T (SBC) I dont think I have a DHP Plan, I dont own the remotes but I think the shipping charges through AT&T Dish would be more if I bought new ones off e-bay.

    taking remotes apart?

    Has anyone ever taken apart the remotes for the 625? The buttons on my remotes have to be pushed extremly hard for it to work. When my old TV remote use to act like that, I would take it apart and clean the rubber part and circuit board and it would be fine. I just dont want to brake the Dish...
