That is a misprint they are good till 3/31/2010. Enjoy!

No that is not true you can only use a 301 or 311.

The vod movies are downloaded to a DVR hard drive. This saves satellite bandwidth as it is downloaded to the receivers late at night and doesn't require a channel to make it happen. Model 612 receivers are next in line to get software upgrades followed by the 622s but no date announced yet.

1080P and I am Legend will only be available fort 722 and with L6.10 software. Other receivers will get updated soon.

Voom did not belong in the Essentials package which is the real point of this battle. Any price increases go towards paying any increases of all programmer's charges not only Voom. So no the $3 additional surely would not cover that.

It's interesting how Voom states that dishHD essential is the most widely distributed package since everyone who had dishHd prior to the new packages was converted to dishHD Ultimate unless they downgraded. I don't see the courts giving this win to Voom. Voom's appeal was dropping rapidly and...

LNBF drift wouldn't be an issue till it reaches +/- 8.

3ABN would require a dish at 61.5 or 129. A Dish 1000 or 1000.2 would work for 119, 110 and 129.

The LNBF will not work. They are not designed for 440. If you do find a way to use the dish it will have a very narrow directional pattern. There are hams that use old Primestar dishes for the gigahertz bands but I have never seen one at UHF.

Limit is 4 leased on an account. The system won't let you do dish in it up if there are already four tuners on an account. If you call ask for the executive resolutions team.

You may want to run a short ground wire from the dish to a grounding rod at the dish. The shorter the distance lightning and static build up have to go the better.

Very doubtful. Never heard of that happening.

8-10 weeks after you mail the rebate in

Yea, the 211 would cost you $299 direct. Go with the lease and keep DHPP on the account. If there was not a $100 rebate I might reconsider but this is the cheapest and easiest way to get what you need. BTW...if you move...the DHPP includes one free Dish Mover per 12 month period so you can take...

Receivers have a one year warranty. After that no warranty unless you have DHPP Dish Home Protection Plan. Leased means "given to you to use to get the service" not if anything goes wrong they will replace it.
