    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    My greatest summertime memory is going up to the Catskills to visit my Grandparents. My grandfather would take me down to the stream and taught me that patience is a virtue when fishing! I was a kid and patience didn't come easy (or at all) and I never caught much back then but as we grow older...

    722k second TV - can I hook up to computer monitor w/no Coax?

    So I have been offered a 47" Plasma monitor from my FIL. I want to put it upstairs in our loft. The issue I have is this, the upstairs loft is connection 2 on my 722 that is downstairs.

    Blockbuster on 612 stinks! Is it coming to WDTV?

I am one of the lucky ones who still has a Blockbuster 2 miles down the road from me, so I am dropping Netflix as we were only casual users anyways. The additional movie channels, disc by mail and streaming seem like it should...

    Blockbuster on 612 stinks! Is it coming to WDTV?

    Exchange 612 for a 722K??

    Mary has been super helpful (love the DIRT folks) and I think I might upgrade to the 722K and drop the 211 receiver. It should solve all of my issues and will drop $7/mo as well.

    Exchange 612 for a 722K??

    So I thought about adding a HD and paying the $40 fee to the 211, but then I would be close to $100. At that point is it better to opt for the 722?

    Exchange 612 for a 722K??

It locks up on reboot constantly (I come down in the morning and listen to the fan spin on high...
