    525 problem

    There are no scratching noises, but I thought that if I turned the power button off, all noise should stop. Similar to a PC, makes noise on, silent off. Even if it's on standby.

    525 problem

    512 DVR

    I called Dish today to try to get an equipment change and they told me that they were not sending out anthing but HD recievers to Alaska. I wanted 2 512s. but they said they had to be 612s and I had to have a tech hook them up. Anyone know if this is policy or did I get a bum CSR?

    new installation question

    For anyone that's interested, it can be done. I now have Dish Networks 625, 322, and 311 receivers all working off of one feed from the LNB. 5 rooms of TV capable of watching different programs at the same time.

    new installation question

    I guess "giving me" is not the correct term. I signed up for Dish Network, and that's the equipment they said they were going to provide. Our local phone company is the dealer and they are just too busy to get to me before freeze up so I asked if I could do the install myself. I already had the...
