you have got to bite the bullet and get the new receiver. you will never want to watch standard tv again after you see the variety of program options that you get from dish. just get the bronze package with hbo. cable sucks. also check out an over the air antenna for your locals. i have a...

thanx for your reply. what is sub to locals?

i just got my 622 installed and i have an off the air antenna for locals. with my 942 i got ananlog and digital locals with a program guide, but now i get only digital over the air with no program guide. how do i get the analogs and the program guide.:)

i went for a demo of 1080p at my local tv store and i could tell very little difference between that and my new sony 1080i set with voom programming. 1080p is not a gimmick and years from now it will probably be a standard, but just getting decent 1080i programming is gong to be a challenge for...

budget for tv. i would look at the JVC system for price and value if you are interested in geater than 50 inches. for a 50 inch set the vizio plasma is a great deal. think it is around $2500 at costco. i bought the sony 55 inch rear projection lcd set. very pleased with the quality. in hind...

wineguard i love my wineguard squareshooter. very efficient. check them out. perfect vision magazine also gave it a best buy. good luck:)

ota ota is great. no reruns, and the network shows and sports are less generic. i have a winegard square shooter with their amplifier and my signal went from a 60% to a 90%. 75 miles might be too far unless you can get the antenna high. might be worth a try. my winegard is on the same mast as...

i get my locals thropugh a wineguard square shooter antenna on my balcony. stations are 55 miles away and they come in fine. i get all the hd programming including 3 pbs stations.

i stopped voom. sick of repeats. it is only a lost leader.

antenna check out the wineguard square shooter.

hd mostly i only watch the news in sd.

hi-- i bought the same tv and sd channels are from very bad to bearable. the only thing i can watch on sd is cnn now. once you see the great hd picture on that sony you can never go back.

i just spoke to a dishnetwork person and he said the several channels of game plan will be in hd. pay before 2 sept. it is $99, after then it is $120. it will last till dec. 24 then santa pulls the plug.

yikes sounds like you can get another free install. i have the same problem when i went to the 942 from the voom box. my ota stuff sucks. i am moving to a new location with a southern view and trying the winegard squareshooter.

dish dish is not perfect, but it seems to be the best there is right now. you will love the 942. get the fewest possible channels of sd and the most hd. good luck
