    adding a new receiver

    the sammy s300w receiver has a july 2004 production date on it. so that may be it. also, could the coax line that i am running be an issue? i am trying to use some old excess coax that i had left over from a cable install. i am pretty sure that it isn't the rg6 that the installer used on my...

    sound cuttin out

    hi all. i have the choice xtra package and an hr22-100 dvr. within the last couple months the sound has been cutting out for about a second or two at a time. this initially started with my dvr playback, and now has migrated to live tv as well. for a while it seemed like it was only fox...

    New install this Saturday...what to expect?

    well the install is now complete. everything went pretty well. the dish was pole mounted in my front yard (line of sight problem) for an additional $75. 2 ft of cable was buried. the whole process was about 2 1/2 hours. the installer was pretty nice, however he never once asked if he should...

    New install this Saturday...what to expect?

    thanks for all the replies. i will definitely keep an eye on my credit card bill for that dish setup. the rep told me that dish did not want me to climb up on the roof myself to take it down, and they weren't going to pay someone to come out to remove it. hopefully that stays true...on the off...

    switching from dish to direct

    hi all. we are looking to drop our dish service in march when our contract is up. we have been eyeing direct for the nfl package next year (especially since i am tired of giving the ford family my money for season tickets.) we were just wondering exactly what do we have to look forward to in...

    Finally have service!

    The 722 is in an open air entertainment center with only a small dvd player on top of it. Hopefully it doesn't run any hotter than a xbox 360 (which luckily has not been kissed by the red-ring-of-death...yet). So far I am very satisfied with what I have seen, the only problem that I am having...

    Finally have service!

    After a hideous mess over the last 2 weekends, our service is finally up and running. We have the dish 1000 and a 722 receiver on our Samsung DLP, and I can finally say that this looks better than Comcast. It was a nightmare though. Our hardware was installed this past Saturday, and everything...

    Rant

    I had a situation last week that kinda falls into the above quote. I had set up to have my Dish Network installed last friday. The time was between 12 Noon and 5 PM. The installer leaves me a voice mail saying that he was at my house and since I wasn't there (10:30 AM) he was leaving and I had...
