    Dish Pro Plus 64 Switch

    I will try and order the DPP 64 switch in the fall. Thanks for all the info. I need the switch so I can get CBS HD West on 148 and the programs I subscribe to on 61.5, 110, 119 and 129. Right now I can only get CBD HD West when I disconnect 61.5 and hook up 148 and run a check switch...

    DishPro Plus 44 Switch Review

    DPP44 Working for 61.5, 110. 119 and 148 I was using an SW64 Switch cascading an SW21 and receiving 61.5, 110, 119 and 148. I ordered the promotion for the 811 including upgrade to DISH Pro technology and DPP44 switch in January. I waited until the DPP44 was available for installation. Finally...

    IT'S OFFICIAL NO FIREWIRE ON 921!

    Glad I did not purchase a 921 In the past I was always an early adopter. I purchased a new receiver when it came out. I am so glad I did not purchase a 921. I could have purchased it wholesale because I have a friend who is a dealer and was willing to sell it to me at his cost. I am in Denver...

    CBS east or west coast feed...or both?

    I get WCBS-DT (CBSHD-East) on 61.5, regular channels on 110 and 119 and some Denver Locals on 148 by using the SW64 and SW21 switches and cascading as described above. I feed into my 6000. Today I was told by a DISH Tech Rep that the SW 44 switch is now available for about $149

    Using superdish and a dish aimed at 61.5....

    When I get my 921 for my Mitsubishi WS-55805, I will move my 6000 to the bedroom to get HDTV on my small Samsung 17" flat screen hdtv. I will junk my 501 which is now in the bedroom or move it to another room. Then I will get Superdish and hope that the other Denver locals are on 105. I will be...

    Switches and SuperDish?

    I currently use a 64 switch and receive 61.5, 110, 119 and 148. I have locals on 148 so with SuperDish, I can probably drop 61.5 I cascade 148 and 61.5 with an SW21.

    8VSB NOT included with $199 Dish 6000...per 5 CSR's

    I paid $499 for my 6000 in June of 2000 and another $100 in November 2000 for the 8VSB module. So the current special is still cheaper than I paid in the begining.
