    what are my upgrade options?

    I like the 211 idea but probably need two tuners on one receiver. I think that EHD is my best option right now. When we decide we really need HD for the 2nd TV, maybe Dish will have a better whole-house DVR solution at that point. (Or we'll "sling" it from the 1st TV to the 2nd) We've...

    what are my upgrade options?

    Thanks for the information, everyone. I looked at equipment more on Dish Network's site. I thought I remembered from a while ago that the max size for an external hard drive was 750GB. Is that true, or is there newer software now that can use 1TB or more? Does Dish network have any...

    what are my upgrade options?

    Hi all, I've had Dish Network for almost 4 years. I have a 622. It's still working fine, but I find that the more HD content there is, the closer we are to filling it up all the time. I know I could hook up an external drive, but I'm wondering what my options are if I want to upgrade. Here's...

    $3000 to spend on TV at Best Buy - which one?

    I had it repaired once under the Samsung Warranty -- they replaced only the color wheel. For the more recent repair the TV was out of warranty but still under the Best Buy 4yr service plan. The repair person (for whatever reason) decided to replace the whole light engine rather than just the...

    $3000 to spend on TV at Best Buy - which one?

    It's closer to $150, based on a few price checks around the web. My biggest worry is the color wheel... On my 43" Samsung I had it replaced once under the manufacturer's warranty. It went bad again (this time Best Buy's warranty repair decided to replace the whole light engine (includes...

    $3000 to spend on TV at Best Buy - which one?

    No... and apparently even after the 3 different phone conversations I had with Best Buy people I was mistaken as to what replacement I could select. I was able to trade out for a 50" Samsung DLP (HLS5086W - 720p version) which is fine. It's the closest equivalent to what I had, and 3.5 years...

    $3000 to spend on TV at Best Buy - which one?

    I was just looking at information on the LED DLP sets from Samsung. They would eliminate the bulb-life issue. I certainly don't plan to listen to anything the BB salespeople say... I want to see what my choices are and then do more research. I don't mind the bulb issue, though... I never had...

    $3000 to spend on TV at Best Buy - which one?

    Hi, in June '03 I bought a Samsung DLP at Best Buy and bought the PSP. In December I requested service because the set was making too much noise (color wheel?). They ordered a new light engine but it is indefinitely backordered, so they are going to give me a new TV under the Lemon exchange...

    NC @ Duke is blacked out on ESPN right now!?!?!?

    I live just outside Raleigh -- in the heart of WRAL viewing area but I was able to watch the game on ESPNHD. Once I realized it was on WRAL also (in wonderful grainy glory) I was pretty surprised that it wasn't blacked out. Oh well.... :shh I'm not going to call and complain about it.
