    Re: Dishstore Rebate

    I received my Dishstore rebate yesterday. I signed up through the store for the $125 rebate so my disconnect with Direct wasn't so painful and to support this site. I got the rebate in less than 3 weeks. Thank You Dishstore

    DIRECTV to Offer Local Channels in 190 Markets

    Is the Duluth,Mn/Superior,Wi market the largest not to have HD locals. We are at least 150,000 with surrounding suburbs. Any idea why we aren't on the list Iceberg? I'm tired of waiting.

    SCIFI and USA HD Live!

    PS3 & SuperAudioCD ?

    Never had much interest in the super audio format, but now with my purchase of the ps3, how do you use this capability. Do you need decoding at the pre-amp stage? Also, does it output through the optical as bitstream or pcm, or output through the hdmi? :hungry:

    DISH'n It Up Clarification needed before I upgrade

    That's great news! I received my boxes for my old receivers today, but never told them I was returning them. I do own my 811 and 501. What are they giving for their return. I see people selling the 811 0n ebay, I know I can get something for the 501.

    So, according to that quote, if you sign up for the DVR Advantage package, which includes the dvr fee, under the Dish'n it up promotion, do you eliminate both fees?

    Dish'n It Up Repoint Fee?

    There is no mention of this fee on their website! I'm doing the 622 upgrade myself this wednesday, they didn't tell me anything about that charge on the phone when ordering either.

    Has anyone purchased from Dishdepot.com?

    I have made 2 purchases from them. My original 5000 w/mod, and a 501. Not a single problem. Items came quickly. Great price when compared to Ebay.
