Is there a comparison somewhere between Dish America (lowest package) and AT100? I'm wondering if that would be a better deal than what Customer Retention just switched me to. Anyway, I went from Dish Absolute to: Top 120 Free HD for life HD Platinum free for 1 year $15 a month reduction for 12...

Wonder if the quality would be as good as an RG-6 composite cable? Sound easier to run anyway, can you share what connectors you used and where you got them?

Its a Vip 722 and the run to the bedroom will be 40ft.

SD looks pretty good off air, SD over RF from the 722 is not nearly as good however and I'm just wondering if SD via composite would be better. I have a spool of 3ghz copper conductor RG-6 and compression tools. Think I can find an RCA compression fitting and make my own RG-6 composite cable if...

I'm not expecting it to match the HD I get from the HDMI connection, just trying improve TV2 output when I have to use it. So I should expect at least a noticeable improvement from RF to Composite? Any advantage to RG-6 over premade RG-59 at the 40ft range? Thanks.

My primary TV in the Living Room, is hooked to our Dish 722 receiver via component cables. We used to have a 27" CRT in the Bedroom, that was hooked up via RG-6 coax on the 722's RF connection. The CRT was recently replaced by a 37" 1080p LCD set. I purchased a 40ft HDMI cable and its...

Where is the cheapest place to get a complete Dish 500?

Ok, I "moved" back to my local market which includes the Springfield, MO locals. Unfortunately it appears that my two Springfield HD locals are on the 77 Satellite and my 1000.2 dish only gets the 110, 119 and 129. I'm confused as to why these channels aren't on the 129. Dish Tech Support...

I'm getting all the Springfield network locals in HD on OTA now, but will miss the Dish KC locals during football season. They frequently get games Springfield doesn't so I had more to choose from. Is the new Ciel-II Sat going to replace the current 129?

I "moved" to the Kansas City MO area over a year ago for their Dish HD locals, since at that time no Dish locals in my area were HD, and not all my OTA's were HD either. I'm about 180 miles from the KC area, and a short time ago those locals stopped working. Looking at the channel list for...

My 18mo commitment should be up in March, if they force me to something more expensive I'll be looking at the competition.

Looks like anything that includes all the channels in Absolute would be more expensive! :(

Also, if you have "moved" and have to "move" back temporarily for a receiver failure is that considered a change to my account that would cause me to lose HD Absolute?

Looking at the Turbo packages it appears I would lose channels I now have unless I paid more money. They won't let me stay on Absolute HD after Feb 09?

In late February 2008, I converted my programming to the HD Only package. My bill currently shows it as: DishHD Absolute with Locals - 34.99 Dish Network DVR Service Fee - 5.98 With Dish changing their HD programming again, will I get to keep this package? If not what will it convert...
