Thx Harshness....I guess I don't yet understand the concept of a 'switch' or multiswitch. Each output is like a dedicated tuner? Are there any power requirements -- do I need an AC outlet somewhere? So there 4 outputs (for 4 tuners) in the LNB. Two will go to the HD-DVR, and one will go the HD...

Thx all -- this is making a bit more sense. How many cables will come out of the satellite dish (5lnb?) These will go to a {something}, but not directly to my TV's? If my TV were against an exterior wall, can I expect a finished wall plate with 2 female coax inputs? (for the HD/DVR). Thx

Hi folks - asked this question in another forum, but it's probably more appropriate here. I'm a new D* customer, and my install is scheduled next week. Prior to the install, I want to make sure I have my ducks in the proverbial row, and know what I'm getting into. Currently I live in a...

Hey folks -- I'm in a quandry here, where I'm getting more and more unhappy with what I think is a degredation in picture quality from a DISH 522 STB. I *hope* it's the 522, because otherwise it's DISH in general, I guess? I have an HD monitor -- a Sony 32". My DISH packages is the most...

decided to K.I.S.S Thx all -- just got off the phone, and decided to keep-it-simple... I will go with one 522, and the AT60 package, period. I also asked if I could keep my exisiting TWC in-house cabling free, because I plan to add an OTA antenna, and just use that to route the signal...

Hey folks: I'm sick of paying almost $50/mo for basic Time Warner Cable, and I called, and scheduled a Dish Network install for this upcoming Friday. The representative has explained the basic packages and programs, and I have a day or two, to decide what to pick. Here's my quandry. I have...
