    Sunday Ticket: Dolphins v. Texans no HD?

    The CBS Sports web site as well as numerous other sources show the game being broadcast in HD. The problem is there is no HD listing for the game on my program guide and the D* web site shows this as being SD only. What gives? The Dolphins suck, but I'd still like to see the games in HD.

    Installation Question....

    Thanks Guys. I called up D* and it's pretty much what Jimbo was talking about. I hope. Some of the lnbs must pick up multiple sats. We had the HR20 do the 5lnb set-up and it checked for 5 sats and it found 5 out of 7, which I thought was odd. The tech said the other two were not showing...

    Installation Question....

    It does say slimline and it is a larger Dish. The thing throwing me is that I see only 3 LNBs connected to it. Again, he also installed a sperate smaller dish with 1 lnb. Under the Setup instructions for the receiver he used the 3lnb settings. Is there a channel I could go to that would...

    Installation Question....

    Marginal Start from DTV...

    Has install this morning. Installer told me he installed a 5 lnb dish but in all the system menus on my HR20 it says 3 lnb dish. Is this normal? He did install the BBCs though. Also, when I signed up, the rep told me they would be giving me NFL Superfan for me as a bonus. Of course, I...

    Another new DTV Sub..

    After about 10 calls to different CSR's, I tried the "Can I talk to a supervisor" approach. The CSR was real nice and asked if he could do anything before he transfers me. I told him my only sticking point was the $199 charge for the HD DVR. Long story short I'm getting another $100 mail-in...

    When to Switch?

    I'm not asking if, but when. I have no idea of what promos might be rolling around so I thought it was a valid question..

    Hey Guys, I just saw this deal pop-up over at Radioshack.com Looks like a 942 for 100 bucks. Free shipping! Currently I own a 811 so this looks like a cheaper upgrade path for me at the time since I don't really care about the new HD stuff. Also, it seems as though I would be able to get...

    Another Dish sub thinking about Switch..

    Hi Everybody, After being very interested in the new HD plans Dish has been hyping up, I'm just not too thrilled with the content these new channels will be offering. I'm strongly thinking about switching to DTV now mainly because of the Sunday Ticket package. My main sticking point is...
