Great suggestion -- I live in Connecticut and will go check out that forum.

Comcast advertises the X1 as being able to record 4 programs while watching a fifth -- sounds like they are trying to catch up to the Hopper. My wife is very impatient when it comes to technology and your point about being easy to use is well taken.

I understand this is the Dish forum. However, I am out of contract and seriously considering switching to Comcast based solely on cost. Has anyone here had recent experience with the Comcast X1 platform that they can share? I know it is not as full featured as the Hopper (I currently have a...

Locals are on Eastern Arc The Dish installer was here today and installed Eastern Arc with a 622 (had been told by a CSR that I would be getting a 722 -- but that another story). Anyway, I do have all my locals on the EA, but they are all in HD not SD. Only concern there is that the 622 will...

Yes, as best I can tell the locals are on the 119. That is were we have the most reception problems. Although on a couple of occasions the Dish ch. (#101?) was also getting blocky...

What are the satellite locations for HD service in Hartford, Connecticut area...zip code 06029? I had DTV for 4 years and than E* for the past 6 months and the 119 satellite location for both services have given me trouble because of a neighbor's trees. E* has offered to move me to their...

Upgraded to EA with Committment Dish is upgrading me this weekend to a 722 and EA because of Line of Sight issues with 119 sat. I am not currently under commitment, but they will require a 2-year for the upgrade at the time of install. Tech who came to house says they have been doing this more...

We've been having some signal issues with our 110/119 install. We've had a couple of Dish Techs out this week the first said it was trees and the second said it wasn't trees! Here's the question, assuming the second Dish Tech is correct and line-of-sight is not the issue, is an Eastern Arc...

Getting Eastern Arc Follow-up... Dish Tech was out this morning. Said trees were definitely the issue. Said he could find a spot for a pole mount that may be buy me a season or two, but that was about it. He said the better solution was to install new dish on same mount and point to the...

Thanks Guess I have to hope the problem can be corrected with better Dish alignment.

I had Dish installed last November when there were no leaves on the trees. Now that the leaves have sprouted I am seeing more signal loss. We have a 625 and get our signals off the 110 and 119 satellites. Tonight the signal readings were about 50 on the 110 and about 30 on the 119 with cloudy...
