Winegard Hi, Thanks for the link! Since the price difference is only $3, is there any reason *not* to get the SS-2000 over the SS-1000? I won't be splitting the signal much, if at all. Also, it seems like part of the cost is the fact this antenna has a nice design... if I don't care how...

thanks for the link! that sounds like a great promotion. however at the very bottom is said it is only for people who have never had dish before... :( however, i'm pretty certain my wife, who kept her maiden name, has never had dish service before! :)

ps- can you recommend a local installer for DISH? i'd greatly appreciate it! thanks!

Thanks for the info! I'm about 2 miles up 71 from the "Y" ...Covered Bridge is the neighborhood... Good to know I can pull in the OTA HD stations here. I'll google "square shooter" and see what I come up with. My single HDTV is actually a projector in my home theater room, so I'd like to...

Oak Hill in south Austin Thanks for the info! I'm in Austin, Texas. Specifically the Oak Hill neighborhood in south Austin. If anyone can recommend a reliable installer here, I'd greatly appreciate it as I don't have an OTA HD antenna and would like the convenience of having one...

Who to sign up with? I forgot a question! Who should I use to sign up for service with? I've been browsing around and it seems like all the resellers offer the same deals. I was hoping to find an even better than the 10-month $20 rebate (or in addition to) offer for switching from cable...

Hi, After leaving Dish in 2004 for cable (Time Warner) when I moved to Austin, Texas, I'm ready to switch back! I'm going to take advantage of the AT100+DishHD for $34.99 for 10 months promotion. I'll be connecting to 1 HDTV. Here are my questions: 1. I'm going to get the DVR, will I...

Hi, I hope this is the right forum... I cancelled Dish in Dec. 2004 when I moved from CA to TX, and am considering signing back up again. I have a few questions: 1. Will I be able to use the DishPlayer 7200 I still have? Dish sent me a yellow smartcard for it in december 2004 that I...

Hi again, I just moved to Texas and put my account on "DishPause" before moving. TimeWarnerCable has an ok deal here for Satellite subscribers... $40+tax/month for 1 year for 1 HDTV PVR settop box that gets all non-premium channels and HDTV channels and service to a 2nd tv (but no settop box...

Thanks Tony. Do you have any hints on 'white area' zip codes near Austin? I'm moving from a white area in northern california where I got San Francisco and New York locals via Dish, and am interested in installing the dish at a white area near Austin.

Dallas locals in Austin? Does anyone know if the signal for the Dallas locals can be received in Austin? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I emailed them on Sat. Since I haven't heard back, I just resent the email, but this time I added my phone #. On a related note: 1. I called last week to cancel my service (starting tomorrow). 2. I called yesterday to cancel the cancel request, and instead moved...

Hi, I've been with Dish for 4.5 years. I signed on for the no-monthly fee DP7200 deal. The 7200 has been wacky from the start, but i live with my lost recordings and other bugs 'cause I don't pay a PVR fee. ANYWAY, I emailed ceo@dishnetwork.com for the 1st time this weekend to see if they...

Wow...this is bad news. I live in a "remote" area near Austin, and subscribe to the Dallas locals but had planned on pulling in the OTA Digital Austin stations with my new 921. Guess I still can, but i won't have EPG data...which sux.

Hrmmm...I thought there were capture cards available that can capture HDTV via component. I'll have to do more research. Thx.
