    HDMI connection required?

    Show me a device or something that allows full 1080p over anything other than HDMI, & not 1080i. Then I'll consider, but as far as displaying 1080p without HDMI, using any but HDMI results in loss of 1080p. I would like to hear from you, rather than copy/paste from a website and point to...

    Cost to swap out SD DVR for HD DVR

    99$ for new HD-DVR, sometimes $199. I never had to have additional install, heck honestly nobody has ever asked for old recorders back after upgrade, only when they go out in which I have to send back faulty unit. I have 2 SD & 1DVR I haven't used in about year

    HDMI connection required?

    Sorry to tell you but 1080p is not capable over component, 1080i is, you should check your specs

    HDMI connection required?

    You have to use HDMI to get 1080p period. This is with everything including Blu-ray players, PS3 & not just D** recievers. HD TV broadcast is only at 1080i which works with the HDTV cables/Comp you are talking about. But to receive full HD/Blu-Ray you need HDMI connections & HDMI cable. Check...

    HN9000 relocation (how?)

    In my case as I am advanced BETA tester I have 2 different 9000 systems. One is the standard DSS 9000, the other with different SAN & classified beyond that. I can say that when I moved I did need an installer here for regular 9000 to do the GPS/Pointing but for the other I was able to abort...

    Weather Effects

    My service has only went out or been interrupted only a few times since 2007 and it was never because of rain, but wetpack snow on the dish itself. I live in the mountains in California and when it rains it rains and storms good and it's never been affected. It will snow sometimes here and it...

    Whole home upgrade price jump 99 to 199

    Stonecold, I've been with the company for almost 5 years. You said mrv was free at install if HD DVR & HD were present and only 25 for DECA. I recently moved in June and I already had an HD DVR, and got a free HD at install. I asked the installer if he could do then and was told no, that I would...
