If I break down and activate it for $5/month, will it work if I don't keep it connected to the satellite?

I'd like to add the ability, in my son's room, to watch recorded shows using the Whole Home DVR service. However, I don't want to pay another $5/month to add another receiver to my account and go through the hassle of running more lines from my dish to house, since there would be no need to...

Oops. I read it wrong. Thanks again

rad thanks. You got me most of the way there, but after entering the RID number you have to press select not dash. I have an HR22 and an R16. Both have internal RF antennas and was able to set up both receivers with 2 RF remotes, because they both run 2 TVs. I picked up 4 RC64R remotes on...

Is it possible to program 2 RF remotes to work a single receiver? My HD DVR is setup in my Family Room, but I have a line run to my bedroom as well, so I can watch it there as well. I'd like to have an RF remote in each room. Thanks.

It seems like an easy way for D* or E* to differentiate themselves from one another and eliminate the only real advatage cable has over satellite. Not exactly easy, but it seems easier than launching a satellite into space

This is basically what I'm trying to find out. Right now comcast has seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6 on HBO VOD so I've been watching old episodes getting ready for the new season. There are also times where I stumble onto a good movie 15 minutes in, start recording it and then flip over to On Demand...

Is there a way I can browse the content online before making a decision? 100% of comcast vod I watch is free, with 75% of that from a premium channel and the other 25% of childrens programming (disney, etc). What I'm hearing so far is that d* beats e* from a functionality standpoint and...

I know it's not the same as cable VOD, but with a reasonably fast broadband connection, will it be good enough for occasional use? Does the download have to be complete before you can start watching, or can you start watching once a sufficient buffer is established? If it's a free program...

I looking to finally get out from under the oppressive Comcast empire and their On Demand programming. I know asking which is better will only provide me with opinions, but that's all I'm looking for. I posted this in the Dish forum, because there are 2x as many viewers at this moment...

I left Dish a few years back when VOOM launched and after they crashed I switched to Comcast, where I've stayed for the last few years because of their On Demand offerings. Comcast has raised package fees, DVR fees, etc. every year since I've been a customer and my bill is now over $150 with...

I can't give up that easily...I'm normally a pretty easy going guy, but this one got under my skin.

Can someone give me an email address to someone that can help me resolve a sirius customer service issue. I apologize in advance for the long post, but I'm still steaming.. I've been a Sirius customer for 3+ years and I'm maxed out with 4 receivers on my account. 3 weeks ago my wife got a...

What is the best new subscriber offer I can get right now, if I want a 622 receiver and the Dish HD Platinum package? I was a dish network subscriber for years, but cancelled for VOOM. I signed up with Comcast out of convenience after VOOM suddenly shut down. I've stayed with Comcast...

I haven't received this email yet and I've received other communications from VOOM before, so I know they have my correct email address
