    Equipment needs....switching from Dish

    dishrich, thanks for the information. I did call D today and they basically said that I would have to pay for the 2nd HD DVR receiver. I will say that the rep was pleasant and that it was refreshing to speak to someone that I could understand. That was certainly a different experience from...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Hi guys, New here but thought I would chime in. Today I have spent a LOT of time looking over the Directv offerings and I admit that I am seriously considering making the switch.

    Equipment needs....switching from Dish

    Okay, I guess I missed that part. The zip for my town is 62849. The local channels I currently receive (through Dish) are the St. Louis channels. Directv does show them as being offered in HD. Thanks again for your help.

    Equipment needs....switching from Dish

    mdram, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that sounds like it's going to get expensive, making the switch. I'm not sure I'll be able to talk the wife into spending a lot to make the switch even though I'm fed up with Dish. Thanks again. Dave

    Equipment needs....switching from Dish

    Hi guys.. I am strongly considering making the switch from Dish to Directv but I'm having a lot of problems figuring out what equipment I will need. Here is my current setup: Living Room: VIP 622 HD DVR which controls our t.v. in the living room and also a smaller t.v. in my home gym. My wife...
