You need to pull another cable in the wall, along with the existing cable. Then you use a 2-outlet wall plate.

After reading this today, I called retention today(twice actually). I have been a customer for 8+ years and I am currently under a 2yr committment. The best deal I got was $99.95 for the HR20 + $19.95 S/H, but the AT9 dish installed, and additional multi-switch installed(this will make 4...

Recently I got a new HD receiver from DTV. I was told 1 year on the phone but upon activation the csr told me i was told wrong and it was 2 years. Nothing I could do but sign up or send it back.

I am looking for the best deal for my father. He just got a new HD widescreen and wants to sign up for E*. He would like HD and DVR in the living room, and then something in 2 bedrooms. I noticed on the dishstore site, that he could get an 811 and a 625. It states you can upgrade to the 942 for...

Thanks much. That worked perfectly.

I am not sure if this can be done or if i am just overlooking it. I performed the auto-search for the ota channels with my antenna pointed towards louisville and picked up those stations. I wanted to add in the OTA locals for Cincinnatti also but when I turn my antenna and auto search for those...

I am using a hughes E-8 hdtv receiver. I have a few heat related issues which cause me problems but my main issue is locking in OTA channels. Is the h-10 going to be better at picking up OTA channels than the e-8? D* will sell me an h-10 for $99 after talking to retention. I know the new models...

So is this $5/receiver lease fee already figured into the package? I thought the $5 charge for the 2nd receiver above was a mirroring charge. Would this push me to $73 a month?

Thanks for the replys. The local dealer basically confirmed the same thing today but now something else. They are telling me I have to pay the sales tax on the retail prices of the 811 and 522 which will amount to about $60-70. I asked why and they told me that they have to purchase the...

I have never subscribed to Dish so I am eligible for the new subscriber promos. I want an 811 for my main room and a 522 for the kids' 2 tv's. My local store says they can meet any deals on the 'net, but they haven't sold any 522 units. I am waiting to hear from them if I can get the 811/522...
