$0 for my 622 :) I was going to cancel and was sent to the specialist rep....who of course wanted to talk me out of it......ended up giving me the 622 for $149.....then a $50 rebate....then $10 off my bill for 10 mos.= $100. So after 10 mos. of course it will have been free.....of course...

I am in area code 70448, just north of New Orleans. I hear that Directv will soon have a 150 HD channels by the 3Q of this year. They just started providing HD local channels for my area. Dish has gone up to $122 total for me a mo. I am so undecided now as who to go with? Stay or go...

Does Direct TV have a HD DVR that supports 2 tv's? One HD and 1 SD tv I looked on their site but didn't see anything about supporting 2 tv's.....maybe I missed it. :confused:

Once Again Once again I have selected what seems to be the loser.......how can executives running such a Mega $$$ co. have such limited vision of the future when it comes to HD.....people like them must have been in mind when they said "when you snooze....you loose". :( Only problem is I...

I'm sorry, I forgot to say that this was New Orleans La. area.....I did see New Orleans on one list I think ......

Well I haven't been here in a while, and I was shocked to learn Directv is offering local HD channels in so many markets by years end! Which includes New Orleans for me :) What is Dish doing to compete? Supplying people with free OTA antennas? Please tell me I will get local HD soon with...

I have Dish, and I know that to receive HD quality picture (1080i) on local channels, I must use an OTA antenna for my local channels, the local channels I get over the sat will not provide me with HD quality. But a friend at work is getting Directv and they are telling him he doesn't need an...

Oh Well I changed the wires around, there were 3 wires coming into my house and they were all connected to the bottom ports on the switch.....only the 4th port was free. Also only the 1st port wire seemed to have any effect on the signal, when I removed it, I lost sat. signal to both boxes...

One box works and one doesn't What does this mean? I discovered that the bad signals (picture loss) is only on my DVR 522 box, I checked the same channels on my HD box on the same tv and they come in perfect. So does this mean that the dish alignment, and lnb are all working fine? I called...

I live in La., and have a DVR 522 super dish with a DPP44 that I'm having a signal loss problem. There is a large tree close by where this dish is pointed, but until recently have always gotten good reception. If I check the systen info it says all my signals are good on 110, 119, 121, 129. The...

More We need more info....how could they possibly be selling a hd dvr that won't record HD? How did you prove it, so we can check out our boxes, if we ever get them? I'm waiting for the call Friday from Dish to tell me for the 4th time that they'll have to cancel the installation....no 44...

I've had my hd install for a 622 delayed 3 times! Is there a shortage of those 44 switches? It's starting to get rediculous! Where do I call to reschedule? the number that the rep left is no good, she must have gotten one number wrong or something....does anyone know what number I could call?

I just ordered the HD platium package.....the rep mentioned that the receiver was mpeg-4 capable.... I've heard of mpeg-4....not sure if it's better or not.....is this just a more compressed signal? Will the HD reception I ordered be better or worse than what I've been receiving?
