    Can somebody please straighten me out about my 942?

    Existing customers will be given an upgrade opportunity as soon as adequate supplies beyond those needed for new customers is established. I have to agree that HD LOCALS will be the first to be rolled out. They are the primary ones that my customers and friends are watching. We are in the Dallas...

    Multiple 942 Remotes

    You could actually use tuner 1 in other rooms if you had the desire. DISH has an 8.0 compatible remote with a green UHF key that allows you to control tuner 1 from another room with the UHF part of the remote. This allows the placement of the receiver in a common area that may be hidden (be sure...

    programming 811 for locals

    The HD receivers are designed to work with a directional antenna that doesn' t rotate. The scanning principle is very similar to the one in most TVs that scan for active channels. Signal strength is a very important factor here. If you want more OTA digital channels (assuming you are in an area...

    Two 942

    The installer won't get paid for something you shouldn't have received. They will definitely know you have it and if a CSR is ignorant enough to activate it for you he or she needs to go back to school. You will eventually pay for the unit and you will have to pay the outlet fee to activate it...

    Help Me

    On the TV side go to a reputable local TV dealer who knows about HD TV and your equipment connectivity to get an idea as to what brand and model TV to buy. Don't just shop with price in mind. Be sure and ask about what these sets will cost to maintain. Some have projector lamps that will...

    Help! 942 New Install - Audio but no video?

    You might actually have a bad receiver. Check with DISH to verify that you have current software downloaded into the receiver. Rebooting may solve the problem, but if it continues to be a problem then ask DISH to send you a replacement.

    942 and Legacy Quad LNB

    Correction, you may have to use a DP44 switch because of the number of receivers and the type of antenna you have. The DPP technology does let you use one cable into a two-tuner receiver through a DISH approved band separator at the satellite in ports (looks like a splitter turned backwards...

    942 and Legacy Quad LNB

    Better off using DISH PRO PLUS TWIN LNBF. Works with longer runs of cable. You should be using a qualified cable from LNBF to receivers, that is at least 2.25 GHZ. all connections such as ground block, f barrel connectors at wall plate should have blue insert for 2 GHZ signal. Use linear...

    Man, am I the only one that feels a little let down ?

    How many of you HD subscribers bought TVs that cost upwards of $2,000? I have a little bit of an issue with you who are complaining about the cost of upgrading to a "state of the art" MPEG4 HD receiver. By the way have any of you done any research as to how much money it costs either of the DBS...
