I plan on cancelling my Dish service this fall and going back to Comcast because of the delay in getting FSN Detroit HD. Everyone in the area offers it except Dish.

I got a call from my wife this morning that our 5 month old 622 receiver showed a message that the harddrive was corrupt and it was erasing all programs while it reformatted. This is a major inconvenience as we had a ton of my son's favorite cartoons saved and now they are all gone. We had...

All I care about is having Fox Sports HD. If I knew DirecTV was offering the channel before I signed with Dish, I probably would have gone with DirecTV. I hope we get Fox Sports HD by hockey season.

I got my 1000+ installed 3 weeks ago here in the Detroit area. Yes, I'm bragging. :)

I am a Comcast customer and just did this last night. I had to run the cable to the TV directly as the 622 would not receive any of my cable channels. I'm pretty sure Comcast in my area uses QAM.

It was a new install, and they cut me a great deal because my family has referred business to them for a while. I got a new dish 1000+, 622 receiver, everything installed on one HD tv and one SD tv and activated for about $120.

I went with a local reseller in the Roseville area and got my Dish 1000+ installed in mid-July. I went in on a Wednesday and their guy was out installing the dish the next day. 1 day turnaround. Can't beat that. Not sure what the rule is about posting who it is on this forum so you can email me...

Yep, when I got home from work I noticed WDIV (NBC) now comes in and the quality is almost as good as my OTA antenna. Now I just need FSN by hockey season and I'll be all set.

I am in Detroit and have the local package and also an OTA antenna. The PQ for my locals over the dish is pretty good. The only thing is that the NBC local is not broadcast yet over the dish and of course you don't get sub channels with the dish.
