Guess the way to go now days is to have the house wired for cable, after their special is over, get Dish and leave the dishes up when going to Direct when their special is over and leave Directs dishes up when their special's over and keep rotating services. Things are getting tough though...

Will keep it in mind in case the financial situation improves. A little expensive but worth it with the guide. Water under the bridge now since we're used to the Magnavox DVR which acts like a vcr having to use time/channel programing.

I wonder. Also could have used a TR50 here but were not available when I was looking so bought Magnavox DVR from Walmart, wife can't live without DVR since we had the 522.

Thanks, I've since installed another DTV converter box and wife will have to be happy with that. Just wanted to vent my frustration with the products.

We use Dish locals (now free) up north do not have an antenna there. We do want to see the local news and sports from up north. We use DTV box down south for locals and remote view the DVR from up north. I really want to avoid any commitments and don't want to be tied in if we should...

Failed again, re-enabled SPI Firewall and now trying with NAT filtering dissabled.

Oops, Hung again this morning after about 45 min., now trying with router SPI firewall disabled.

Was also having problems with our voip phone (NetTalk) and was reading on thier forum where someone had to go back to the origional firmware on their Netgear WNR 1000 to get that to work so I went back to the origional firmware and the voip works fine so started up the Slingbox and it's been...

Using version 2.0.4.521 will check it out but it was happening before the recent upgrade.

I did have a problem with my router here at our snowbird location and upgraded to a Netgear WNR1000 yesterday. Wanted to test it out this morning but the SlingPlayer wouldn't connect. Heard roomers they were moving their servers to Denver so gave up trying to connect then this afternoon I was...
