Hi: I've been searching the E* site as well as boards and can't find this rebate form? I did upgrade at the beginning of this month and now I need to get the paperwork in. The CR told me they'd send me a form but now I'm getting worried maybe they won't. Can someone please link me the...

Thanks Dave: I have fired off an email and I'll see if I get a response I'm hoping for. I'm still wondering about whether I can preset antenna HD channels without having the locals purchased? Just a thought for down the road. Cheers, Nick

Color me frustrated this morning. Someone can you please help me out. I 've scanned all 14 pages and I was pretty sure I could do this....and they won't let me. I have a Dish 625 (leased), 250 package (or now its called that), locals, no movie channels I want to go to a 622, stay with...

Yes I'm pretty much paying right now about 68 bucks a month with a 622 and my locals, dvr fee and 200 package. Now I'm paid up for the next 10 months so i don't know how they'd handle that. I'm starting to think I'm paying too much actually because the way I read the Dish DVR advantage it was...

Okay I've been waiting for months for this day with a brand new HD in the basement here in State College, PA. Just bought an antenna and tried it out last night get CBS, ABC and one its up NBC in HD and Fox OTA in SD as they are not even transmitting in HD yet here. Now with the new rules for...

I think if you holler and scream a bit (nicely of course), you might find that Dish might throw you a bone. I just bit the bullet and got a HD tv this past weekend and I think someone said that you can go directly to a retention specialist and you might get what you want. Because I haven't...

Bhelms: I think we discussed this before and you were the main reason I held back from even getting Dish HD because I realized that I would not be able to get HD locals for quite a while. I live right outside of town and have been very hesitant to start messing around with an antenna (I...

So I can just jump on the cable and see if they are in the clear then? Good to know about the HD Locals. I wasn't sure if there was a time frame regarding when they actually have to put them in the clear or if they are distributing high def locals they must put them out for all? I know for a...

Hi all: I'm throwing this up on the Dish site because I'm on Dish. Anyway the long and short of my question is that I'm about to spend some money and buy a Mitsubishi tv with a built in QAM tuner. Now from what i've read I should be able to pull in over the air the digital transmission of...

Thanks so much for the replies guys...especially you bhelms. I had a feeling we were still on the outs for HD locals at this point also. I wonder if the move to HD is that critical at this point if the HD locals are not available for our area. I got out of the C-band thing about 8 years ago...

Hi: I've been a lurker and now I need to find out how to get into HD. Currently I am leasing a 625 and am feeding it to 2 tvs. Late last year I bought a LCD which is HD ready. I would like to take advantage of the possibility of using the HD capabilities of this TV and maybe eventually...

Hi All: I'm in the process of getting rid of a bunch of stuff in my basement and my recent upgrade of my Dish equipment has left me with 2 models gathering dust down there. They are a 2800 and 4900...can i sell these on ebay...or would no one want them. And if they aren't worth much what...

Okay so let me understand this. I currently have a 300 series receiver in my den and in our basement we have a 501. I would like to keep the 501 and put it in my den and be able to record up there too. But you are telling me I can run the lines to the den and living room and record? So i can...

So I have to pay a $5 lease fee and the Vod fee...which is an extra 10 bucks a month? So should I buy the 522 from an online merchant instead and save the 5 bucks a month? Or should i buy at 625? I currently have a 500 package...would I need a new dish or connections or lines brought in...

Hi Everyone: I I need some advice as to whether this is a good deal or not and some clarification. Currently I own an old 300 series receiver and a 501. I'm was looking to upgrade to a 625. I've been offered to lease the 522 for 100 bucks with the agreement for a 1 year commitment to top 60...
