Not in my town. On my 53" HDTV, you can see the compression artifacts of Dish, but with cable, you get a fuzzy picture, rolling lines and just a whole lot of general picture "noise". And this is from a direct connection from the street to a new house!

I'm sorry, but there is NO way I'm going back to cable! Around here, even w/ "digital cable", the first 99 channels are still analog and they look like crap! I also like NOT having to watch the screaming local car dealer commercials the local cable company inserts into all the channels :)

Dude, it's the Olympics! You aren't missing anything :)

Perhaps I misread your post, but I think you only get ESPN, TNT, and the 2 HDNet channels for $10/month. Am I mistaken?

Called Dish and they said I haven't been with them long enough to get an 811 :( Does anyone have a link to this Dish n it up promo?

The CR said we haven't been with them long enough (we've had it for 3 months). :( Does anyone have a link to this promo's details? thanks! Jim

Are these "troubles" little quirks or major shortcomings? My main concern is good HD picture quality. I can use my TV's NTSC tuner for those local signals.

I've only had Dish SD w/ four 301 receivers for a few months. I got it under the DHA plan: free equipment and no commitment. Do you think Dish would trade out one of my 301's for an 811?

I have had a 4 receiver (301) SD setup for a few months. I got it under the DHA plan: Free equipment, free installation and no commitment. I REALLY like Dish's service! I've had a HD-capable TV for years. I just got a Samsung HDTV receiver for $180 for local HD. My local HD support SUCKS! Most...

Could someone PM or e-mail me and tell me exactly how to "move"? thanks! Jim

It works perfectly and only has minor wear. I'll try to get $10 for it on eBay. Thanks! Jim

Thanks guys! The person who sold me the kit said that they accidentally threw in that old UHF remote, but would send me the right one. I offered to send the old remote back, but they said they had no use for it. I don't need it either. Anyone know what it might be worth?

Then why is the newer remote pictured on the kit box? And why do some of the auctions at eBay have a picture of the contents of the kit, which includes the newer looking remote?

I bought a 1 week old ir-to-uhf remote kit, but this remote looks OLD! :(

Thanks! We leave all 4 of our 311's on all the time, but it seems that the one in our bedroom downloads info more often than the others.
