thanks for the input (most of it anyway) I appreciate the replies. No, I'm not just wanting out of the contract and purchasing a house based on satellite LoS would be so irresponsible. The trees are maybe 60 feet tall and are 40-50 feet away from the house. I'll basically try my luck with an...

I just sold my house and our new place has tall trees around. If I utilize the "movers" deal and I can't get a clear signal, am I just out of luck? I have about another year left on a 2yr commit. Any advice? I think if we mount the dish near the top of the two story house it might be ok. Just...

Thanks. Got any more nuggets of widom like this?

How can I get the Now Playing List to be sorted by title? My old non-HD Tivo was but my new HR10-250 is sorted by recording date. Thanks for any help.

I guess you answered my question. What I am thinking about getting was a DirecTivo and a stand-alone HD box with an antenna. How is the picture quality on the DirecTivo?

I'm looking into getting DirecTV with Tivo. I'd like to hook up an OTA HD box for local HD. My question is can I hook this up to record these channels (obviously not in HD). I suppose to get my HD I'd have to hook into another input on my TV. Has anyone here done this? If the picture quality...

Thanks for the brief comparison to the 522. I am actually trying to decide between Dish and Direct DVR's. Any more Pros/Cons would be appreciated.

I see where the R10 has dual tuners. Does it have an output so that the 2nd tuner can be sent to other TV's?

I have a perfect, working 811 receiver for sale with remote. I used it for about 8 months before moving to an apartment. I've never had any trouble out of this unit. $180 plus actual shipping.

What specs are required for the flat wire, in case I find some somewhere.

At my apartment there is just one cable running in from the outside and it is split several times inside to the various rooms. My question is, can I use a DP34 with just one line coming in from the sat and split it off to two receivers? I have a DishPro Twin LNBF. Is there an easier way to...

Probably not worth the effort. Dieing is pretty harsh. By the way, why won't I be liked here?

I've moved and would like to add receivers and go with a new DHA plan, but I can't since I'm an existing customer w/ 3 months left on a 1yr agreement. With the new address, is it an easy sure thing to setup a new account under the wife's name? I have the same phone number. Can I freely talk to...

Also, what about a way to hook up the 811 and only use it for OTA along with a 522 on the same TV? Do I just have to run another line from the dish, or is there a way to split off?

Distribution box, what does that consist of? 4 cables for 4 sats? I thought you ran one cable in for each tuner (or dual tuner) and that took care of multiple sats. Maybe the Superdish is different in that way than my Dishpro 500. Is a DP44 needed if I don't have Superdish? If I run 4...
