    MASN Mid-Atlantic Sports Network

    Hi, I'm a Washington Nationals fan and the only way I can see the Nats is if I have MASN TV. Does anyone know if Dish has any plans to bring MASN TV as a service? DirecTV has them, so I'm tempted to switch. Thanks.

    Just got a DLP HDTV - now what?

    ViP622 it is, but looks like I'll hold off a bit for now. $299 to upgrade is a bit steap after plunking down all the money for the TV. I could do the 211, but I really can't live without DVR on the big set after a year of enjoying it. All Everything with HD for $104 a month is not a...

    Just got a DLP HDTV - now what?

    Hi, I just purchased a 52" DLP HDTV from Mitsubishi. This I put in the basement and so it is TV2 off of my 522 system. I have TV1 in the living room upstairs and a 311 up in the bedroom on the top floor. All connections going to the TVs are coax cable (RG6). All of this is connected...

    Easy 522 Questions - Maybe

    Thanks Thanks for the help. The info box only pops up on the odd occasion. I printed out your answer and will give it a go if it becomes a problem. I signed up for 3 rooms, so that cleared up my question regarding the 522. Just wanted to make sure the deal meant splitting it between 2...

    Easy 522 Questions - Maybe

    Hi, I've got a 522 and use it in dual mode between 2 sets. On set #2, I'll be watching a program and suddently the screen acts as if the info button was pressed and the synopsis of the current program is displayed. I'm sure a button isn't being pressed. Other neighbors have Dish Network...

    I just signed up for Dish and they are coming on Friday to hook us up before the New Year!!! How about that for timing. Luck of the draw, somebody in my area cancelled their install appointment. I have gone from DirecTV (Too expensive) to Adelphia Digital Cable (Too expensive and lowsey...

    Advice for signing up.... Northern Virginia

    Hi, I've decided that I'd like to go with Dish. Before I had cable, I had DirecTV and I used their web number to subscribe and the local people they sent were pretty rude. Showed up late, left the front door open and by the time they left I had an army of nats flying around my living room...

    Dish VS DirecTV

    Thanks for all of the help in deciding. From the information received here and from other places on the net, I think I'm going to get the service. I'll save about $10 a month and get a much better product than Adelphia digital cable. One final question. Can you hook up the units to a...

    Dish VS DirecTV

    Hi, I used to subscribe to DirecTV. About to 2 years ago, I dropped DirecTV to switch to Adelphia cable so I could get broadband in my house with the PowerLink modem service. Well, Adelphia's digital cable service leaves a lot to be desired. The General Instrument boxes they have are old...
