    Unhappy Dish Customer!

    Yeah, that's helpful. I guess it's going to cost $300 in equipment, though, right? ($99 upgrade to the 2nd HD DVR, plus $99 for each of the 2 additional receivers?)

    Unhappy Dish Customer!

    OK, so just so I understand, I can get a HD DVR and 3 HD receivers and each of the receivers can sync up with the HD DVR and watch the recorded shows? I'm curious how, with a $200 expense on equipment, I can save $$$ by switching to DirecTV. Actually, I don't need to "save" $$$, I just need...

    Unhappy Dish Customer!

    OK, thanks Hemi. I got on the DirecTV website and was bummed because it looked like, if I wanted 2 2-room DVRS (with at least HD capability for one of the 2 TVs), I was going to have to buy a receiver, which I don't want to do. At the end of the day, I need to watch 2 TVs in HD, 2 in SD, and...

    Unhappy Dish Customer!

    Thanks for your post -- I'm in the same situation. I have Dish's top 250 package (or whatever it's called). I get on the DirecTV website and the hardware costs scared me. I'd love some help here. I have 2 612s (I believe that's what they are -- they allow me to watch 1 TV in HD and the...

    The Fight Network

    Has anyone heard if this will be offered by Dish? I know it is currently offered in Canada, and it contains mixed martial arts competitions, pro wrestling, boxing, etc. With the explosion in popularity of combat sports (particularly the UFC), I think there would be some demand for this. I...

    622 Problem

    The sound on my 622 (primary TV) goes off every couple of days or so for a couple of hours at a time. In addition, I have been having spotty reception with certain channels coming through (Voom in particular, although others are also problematic on occassion). 75% of the time everything works...

    DirecTV and Denver

    I'm a Dish guy, but my father has DirecTV and asked whether he can get locals via DirecTV. Last I heard, DirecTV was planning on expanding locals into 24 markets by the end of the year, but I glanced through the 34 page post on these markets and didn't see whether much (if any) progress was...

    Denver KUSA / Gannett

    I'm getting my 622 installed later this month and remember a post or 2 about Channel 9 in Denver (a Gannett owned station) not showing up because of a dispute between Dish and Gannett. Has this been cleared up? In other words, can I get channel 9 in HD from Dish?

    Need help with DISH HDTV equipment/package

    Since I'm near Denver, I am psyched to be able to receive (some) locals in high-def. I need help to know what to do. I currently lease 2 811s and 1 625. I have America's Everything Package. I also have only 1 dish. A Dish CSR told me that I could upgrade to a dual-tuner MPEG 4 HDTV...

    Denver and HDTV

    Any word on when Dish will hook us Coloradans up with locals in HDTV? I live 35 miles north of Denver and can't get any OTA HDTV broadcasts (I'd be willing to bet that 85% of the people along the Front Range can't get OTA HDTV). It seems to me that Dish and/or DirecTV should provide HDTV...

    Uplink activity for wednesday aug. 31 2005

    Forgive me for my ignorance, but does this mean that I can now watch Voom channels on something other than 61.5?

    ESPNU on E*?

    I too will leave in the next 4 or 5 days if no ESPNU or CSTV. Iceberg, CSTV and ESPNU also shows several college hockey games a week.
