navychop, referring to a old TV show theme song...moving on up to the big time. That I have done. I bought a new VIP211K for $96.00 plus shipping in August from a dealer in New York, and added Gold HD package in Sept. when I setup the new $999.00 40" Samsung. BTW> During my Navy...

I've had a 508 PVR receiver for about 6 years now, and it hasn't given me any trouble. Up till last month it was in a cabinet while in use. I removed it and moved it to the den when I bought a 40" Samsung HDTV. I notice today that it has a "fan" on the rear right side. The fan doesn't run...

Ok, here's what I can determine with reference to a Dish logo. I don't generally watch much on this new HDTV. I have one in the Den to watch. It's the wife that gets the use of the new one (with Dish logo on screen) in the Family room, and complains on this "logo" type that comes on each time...

I don't think this is the solution you mentioned. I've removed the RG6 coax (Dish Network) from the TV, plus the HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV, and turned off the TV, and when I turn it the TV on, the logo still shows. So, it doesn't have anything to do with the receiver or the...

I have a 40" Samsung LCD HDTV. I also have Dish Network as my programming. When I turn on the TV, the Dish logo is the first thing that "pops" up on the screen. Although, I don't have the VIP211K turned on, it still (logo) comes on. It doesn't go away even if I have my Motorola DSR-922...

I've had the VIP211 in operation now for about three weeks. It's hooked to a Samsung LN-A550. I also have a Motorola DSR-922 C-band receiver attached to the TV, and a OTA antenna. This morning when I turned on the VIP211 and used my Samsung remote to switch to HDMI side, there wasn't any...

I have great news for you sir. He doesn't get Tulsa stations from D/N. We get the Joplin, Mo stations by OTA . I'm more polite than some of you, I don't go into one's home and start turning on the TV and the Dish receiver and start all this "Check Switch" crap. Let me make one final point, the...

He has Dish Network...Dish 500 with a dp twin LNB, and a D/N 322 receiver. The dish isn't pointed at 110,119, 61.5, or 72.

Gentlemen, I went over to his home today to take another look at his Dish 500 setup. I took my magnetic compass with me, and the dish is pointed just 3 degrees east from 180 degrees. In fact it's about 186 AZ. with a skew of 104. BTW, We live 60 miles north of Tulsa, Ok. He has a very...

My fishing partner was over today to look at my D/N dish setup. I have a 1000.2 with the 129 LNB covered with foil and rubber. The 110 and 119 LNB are working great. I have a D/N 500 with a single dp LNB looking at 129, and it works great. My fishing partner...Larry wants to install another dish...

I love the two dish installations. In fact I'm seriously thinking about installing a third so I can have a dish for each satellite...110, 119, and 129. I cannot get satellite 61.5 due to two 60' tall tress in line of sight. The reason I like the individual dish for each satellite, is the ease...

This is our first HDTV unit, and from the old 32" picture, this is a remarkable difference in picture form. The wife thinks it's great, and ask me not to mess with it. I know all about the brightness and contrast settings, and how they can effect one's choice. But, I read so much concerning...

KAB, those forum members at AVS have so many attachments hooked to their HDTV, it's a wonder if the TV works at all. I've read some 150 posts there on what each member feels in their best settings. From this, I get they just love to play with the units, and none really watch TV as most...

My "NEW" Samsung 40 inch #LN-40A550 with 1080p is set just as it came out of the carton. I've read on the AVS forum about calibrations numbers. I don't have a Blu-Ray ...what ever it is called) hooked up, nor a DVD and VCR. I just have Dish Network with a VIP211 cabled to it. What...

KAB, that will be the one I'm ordering. However, I have another little cable problem. I have only 1-1/2" space between my wall mount and the TV HDMI connector. I think with this little space, and I don't put any "bend" pressure on the cable, it looks like I'm needing a 90 degree (right angle)...
