Don't make yourself feel like you're getting a bad deal. You in FACT are getting a good deal!! I've been a helluva long time Dish sub (over 10 years) and I've always been one to wait for a really good thing to come out. I'm still on my good ol trusty 501's if you know what that is. Bought one...

OK...obviously we can't back feed the 722 to the bedroom TV then because I don't want any cables drilled or ran to the bedroom TV. So...that means If I get the 722 with silver turbohd...and I have the 722 in single mode, I can record 2 TV shows at once, and watch something off the antennae...

The wife and I talked...we discussed programming of using Classic Bronze and Turbo Bronze. Too much money for our taste. We decided we will probably just end up doing the Dish DVR advantage with only Turbo Silver along with the locals. I'd be giving up DIY and the wife would be giving up...

Hi there! I've searched the forum for answers to my specific question(s) but I can't seem to get a good solid answer, so I'm reaching out for help. I have been a long time DISH sub for about 12 years (give or take) and I am still using 501's. Call me cheap if you would. I have a 2 part question...

I SUDDENLY see a major DVD Recording machines buying frenzy in the very near future. I have DVD recorder and I don't order THAT much PPV's. When I do, its a movie that I wanna watch which will be REALLY good. Hmm..maybe it's time to start investing in buying DVD recording discs now eh? Or...

He actually has Dish 500 with 110/119. Where the cables come in..(antenna and dish and C band) he's has it split 500 ways (not really..but you know what I mean) and he has this huge huge entertainment center with enough cable/splitters/diplexers in the back even a BUG couldn't safely fly...

When I was over..I checked transponder 18 and a few others for both tuners. The signal was around 65 to 73 in most cases, BUT the signal would either be on or off. Picture would be on and then get sat signal lost message. There almost was no good continous lock. It would be like 70...then boom...

Hi there! I was over at a friends house who has 322 with E*. I am a fellow who has E* as well with 501's and 301's. He was complaining to me that his 322 signal "picture" keeps dropping out. He is EXCELLENT with electric wires...hardware and stuff but a total newbie at "rg6 cables and what ya...

Ok my question - why would the VHF 7 operate at such low kws? All the others are like way into the hundreds. Why or why not are they doing this at only 2kw? Im still sorta "wet behind the ears" on this particular thing. Would this mean I would need to get a "STAR TREK ANTENNA" antenna just to...

Whatever happened to the end result? Or is THERE an end result?

Hi there! I have a Sony 40 inch HD tv. I have been researching to death for OTA antennas so I can pull in my locals in HD and at some point in the future, upgrade my current E* reciever to receive HD programming as well. I actually have an antenna in the attic (was with the home when purchased)...

I remember reading some where in here that you CAN paint your dish, just as long as it is non-gloss. I think I remember that it needs to be matte(? spelling) because if it is a gloss kinda paint, signal would "dance" all over the dish (for lack of better scenario explaining). I am SURE other...
