Get Ready Forrrrr ----- Commercials! Probably to deactivate pause, replay and skip functions.

Dish Doesn't Want You Viewing PBS-HD IRRELEVANT. A 'nationwide solution' is not needed for PBS-HD; Dish just needs to pass thru/stop blocking the program data which PBS local affiliates broadcast. PBS-HD OTA EPG is functional on all Direct HR PVRs (even tho Direct doesn't sat. broadcast...

It's why we're dumping Dish Local sub channel data blocked in Minneapolis/ St. Paul also. Direct TV's HR PVR provides guide for these stations. Dish has blocked them post 921. I'm convinced Dish considers the stations - especially PBS-HD - to be threats; Pure HD, Alot of HD original...

The Best Thing(s) in Life (True HD/OTA) is Free We're turning saddness to joy when we soon will stop paying dish thousands of dollars annually for fuzz. Pure HD via OTA is and will remain $0. Our only requirement is a 250+GB DVR which is coming soon.

I lease one 942 and own another 942. Should I be charged an 'additional receiver fee' ?

Msp Ota Ok Recorded full hour of 24 in true HD with no drop-outs on 9.1 -- 60 miles from Shoreview - another reason Dish is history when Tivo S3 releases.

Have two 942s (1 leased, 1 owned) w/ AT60, old HD, Voom & Locals. If I replace the leased unit with a purchased one, can I drop AT60 and subscribe to only old Hd Pak ($15), Voom ($5) and Locals ($6) = $21?

NO PBS-HD from Dish Correct. Also, you will not get any program information for PBS-HD - and thus, not be able to record any program on the station from the Guide even though you will be paying a monthly fee for 'locals' and an additional monthly (PVR) fee for guide/recording service.

BFG's right; Sony DHG-HDD250/500 HD DVR- a pretty well rated single tuner unit (discontinued 4 months ago). Considered it until I learned the next gens with dual tuners are coming in a few months.

Currently have 942 lease w/ 60, HD Pak + Voom + fees = $65 monthly. After years of DBS, we've determined that we now watch 95% pure HD OTA (we get 7 Minneapolis, 3 Rochester and 2 Eau Claire HD channels). All we want is stand-alone 250+gb hdd HD PVR (with guide) for OTA. $625. for 622 w/...

If I purchase 622, can I subscribe to ONLY locals?

Pep, 1. Do you also subscribe to any SD and/or locals? 2. Do you have guide and/or NBR of OTA channels?

Does anyone in any market get PBS-HD guide on 942?

PBS-HD Guide on 622? Mdntblu, That would be great news if 622 allows PBS-HD (you listed PBD-HD). Please clarify if typo and what city you get guide data for and how manys days of PBS-HD guide you get.
