    Hey Jinx is the wall the tv on a outside wall or a interior wall? If it is on a interior wall you fish a cable threw the ceiling if you know what you are doing. I would find someone who is able to wall fish and has the equipment. If it is a outside wall then it can be really difficult...

    Questions regarding DVR with TiVo

    Jinx probably the reason why you need a new dish is so that you can have more outputs so you can hook up more recievers. The tivo is a dual tuner receiver and it uses 2 outputs from the dish. Maybe that is why the installer said you cant have a tivo is because he could not get another wire...

    Disappointed with HD-DVR

    Well first of all I don't think that echo is so grand that is why I am at direct now but I have to say that sure what you said is true but why in the world do you want to hit pause just so you can look through your guide. Now it wouldn't matter much but that feature is on the basic of direct...

    Disappointed with HD-DVR

    I am dissapointed with Tivo too why do you bash him for pointing out some of the inadequacies of the HD Tivo and for all Tivo's for that matter. You would think that a reciever costing around a grand would have what I call basic functions that all base type recievers have.. I am a new...

    Who LOVES Dish over DirecTV

    I've got to say that I have been a dish customer for a couple of years with a 508 and I wouldn't change it for anything other than a dual tunner 522. I have never had mine miss a recording event yet. I am a installer and have installed both DTV and Dish and I have to say that I like Dish over...

    Voom and Dish Network on one dish

    Actually Al the focal point is still the same. You can set your elevation to zero and put a lnb on either side and you will still pick up the same signal. They do it everyday when they install for the second dish most of the DNSC use a dish 500 to upgrade the put it on either side. The only...
