The fan in my 722k has been quiet and it's in the same place in my entertainment center. When I first got that 612 it started acting up. There is a big difference in the quality of those boxes. I think Dish Network might be wise to phase out the 612 altogether and maybe they will once they...

I just got rid of my 612 for a 722k because the fan in it would come on at high speed while I was watching a program. It would rev up and stay on for about 5 minutes and then go back to normal. Also I think the hard drive caused the picture to stutter sometimes and it used to lock up and reboot...

I know Starz looks pretty good lately. They may may be getting a strong feed from that.

Have them do a reinstall and credit you for any damages to your house. Dish has some awesome very knowledgable installers and some not so knowledgable careless installers who shouldn't even be doing the kind of work the job entails. From Dish's track record of great customer service my guess is...

Well don't buy a good TV. Buy one that you won't be satisfied with and that breaks down quick or quicker because nothing is full proof. If you love Samsung buy a Samsung but from experience with them I know the company does not put out as high quality stuff as Sony. It may last you awhile but I...

Excuse me I own 2. One is brand new. I know they're good TV's. And you're an engineer so we have to accept what you say oh boy. You get what you pay for period.

Get a Sony forget the stupid asumptions. Even if they do partner with a big manufaturing company (which I doubt they do for their televisions) it must be made with Sony parts and to Sony's specs. A lot of electronics and appliances are made all at one factory but the companies use different...

Warner Cable has those channels in HD already on their digital package. My mom has them on her TV. The AMC HD channel doesn't look to sharp though.

They probably think the picture is lousy. Tell them guard their checking account. They will get a charge for teminating and it will not be good.

Sony all the way. When in doubt get the Sony!

My picture quality has improved greatly since after I first got the 1000.2 but I did have someone from Dish Network out here who had their tech support note that my picture quality looked crappy even after he gave me a brand new DVR box which I think I needed anyway because the old one was to...

Mine are in the high 50's to low 60's on most of the transponders on from 17 on up and a few are coming in at 71 to 77 on 129W.

Give it awhile for everything to sync also. Sometimes it takes awhile for everything to get locked in with the best possible picture. I think having a 1k2 is better than having a wing dish. If you still have the wing dish you can always revert to it at a later date and maybe have both 129 and...

They can make adjustments to peoples reciever boxes if you're having trouble. I don't know what they did but the picture is looking better. Right now I'm watching The Haunting of Molly Hartley in HD on Starz and it looks almost as good as if I owned the DVD. I know no satellite or cable TV...

It's set to 1080i. The guy from Dish Network that came out was the field manager because they were busy and he was the only one available and he knew what he was doing. He called tech support and had them note my account that even with the new reciever the picture was still grainy. As of last...
