Hey, I know this is weird, but I have a Hitachi 60V500A LCD that I have had for about 2 1/2 years. I just had E* installed on Wednesday (7/26/06) and since that then I have had the lamp (bulb) light come on 3 times. This is the third time and each time I think it is the bulb needing to be...

I had E* installed yesterday and the Coax is running through my ridge vent on my roof (my choice, I had new RG6 ran to the attic for this purpose) and straight into my 622. Since the grounding block for the cable is down on the ground, he could not ground the Satellite to that. He said if I...

I just got E* installed yesterday and have the 622. The phone jack is on the other side of the room from where the 622 is. I was wondering if the Wireless phone jack systems work (the type that plug into and outlet)? I was going to get one on Ebay, but in the description it said that it would...

So, would I put one diplexer at the point of entry of the OTA, then another right before the combiner/splitter (that comes with the 622 for TV1 and TV2 hook up). From that point I would hook the satellite side of the diplexer up to the splitter/combiner (not really sure what that is) and...

My problem is I do not have another designated coax to run to the 622 for the OTA. So, I wanted to hook it up to the 622 using the same coax (using diplexers) that is coming from the two dish 500 (one for 110,119 and one for 61.5). Can this be done with that setup?

My set up is only the 622 with TV1 and TV2 hooked up. I would like to hook an OTA antenna up to TV1 and I thought I could run it through the same coax that is coming from the satellite using a diplexer. Can this be done? I just had it installed yesterday (totally new to E*) and the installer...

Yeah, I remember reading many post about the 129 and those were from the west coast. Being on the east coast I thought the 61.5 (since it is the same as 129) would be the one to shoot for. I like the idea of having one dish, but not to sacrifice quality and rain fade, etc. How does one tell...

I live in Baltimore and want the HD silver package w/ locals. The CSR said the obly dish i would need is the DISH 1000+. He said he would pick up 110, 119, 105, 121, 129, 61.5. Is this correct? I thought i would need 2 dishes since the 61.5 is so far across the sky?? Thanks for any and all...

I am lookign to get E* service installed and have heard some horror stories as fas as the install goes. I see that it is best to go with a local installer that has a good rep, but i do not know of any. I have tried to ask on the different forums for any recommendations (Baltimore Area), but no...

Hey, I think I am going to finally take the plunge. Anyone know of a good installer in the Baltimore Area? Or should i just go through E* CSR? Thanks for the help!

Hey, I think I am finally going to make the plunge inot E*. I was wondering if there are any good installers in the Baltimore area that someone could recommend? Or does everyone recommend just going through DISH directly?? Thanks!

Hello, just wanted to say this site is awesome. I was wondering what dish i would need in Baltimore? Is there a way that I could get by with one dish or is that pushing it as far as rain fade and outages? I would be getting the HD Silver package with locals. Also, any idea when Baltimore...

Hello All, First time poster, so take it a little easy on me :)! I know that a true digital signal normally results is a better PQ than analog (cable); However with the compression that E* (and D*) have on there SD channels is it still truely a better PQ than cable? I use to have D* (about 2...
