Ok thanks. Done. regards, David

What kind of optical cable does the DVR625 use? Is it the TOS cable or is an audio optical cable the same thing as TOS? regards, -David

I got dish. It's not bad. Better then Time Warner because every channel is consistently good and the DVR and box work better. The DVR hard drive is much quieter than the TW one. My only rap on the 625 is it only has two tuners. If you've got two sets of people watching both televisions...

Has anyone here used allsat dot com? How was your experience? I'm trying to decide whom to order from... allsat, dish, or dishpro. I've called Allsat a couple of times and they answer quick and are friendly and knowledgeable.

Will the installer know how to do this?

How does the signal from the 625 get to the second room? I'm just moving into a pre-wired house. It has a coax run from the attic down to the downstairs coat room. From there, coax goes out to various rooms. If the DVR 625 sits out by the main tv, how does the signal get to a second...

Cool. The whole unit appears to be better than the Time Warner unit I've got now. I'm looking forward to moving to dish. I hope it lives up to expectations.

Well, in a way yes. If you go on the dish homepage and sign up for two rooms, it costs $20 extra to get the 625 and $0 extra for two receivers (the 510 and 322). However they charge you $5 month for the extra receiver that I guess they don't charge for the 625 dual tuner one. The 322 has...

What's the point of getting a dual-tuner receiver? Why pay the $20 extra? Does an extra receiver really bother anybody?

What is the E* I keep seeing in posts? I assume it's some link that they edit out. Where is the best place to buy dish? Directly from dish or one of the links above? I've tried some of the links but they don't let me customize the way I want. For example I need some an Chinese...

Does the DVR need a phone line to update programming or is it done OTA? I'll probably get a 625 receiver. Since it's RF and I don't suppose it all take sinfrared then my programmable remote won't work right? -Dave

I noticed it's already free. Couple of questions. Why is it better than having two receivers? The same deal gives you of choice of either. Is the remote RF or something? Otherwise how does the remote signal reach the single receiver throught the wall? Also the great wall package did...

I'm getting close to ordering Dish. Going with Dish because they offer a foreign language package. Who's best to order from? I'm getting 180, dvr, and the Great Wall package for two rooms. I just went dishstore.net and they want you to fill out everything and order before they tell you...

Ok. To get specific here's what I'm thinking about doing: 1) One receiver/DVR in the family room with America's 180, maybe 120 but I like VH 1 Classic. No HD right now. 2) One receiver with the foreign language pack in a guest bedroom. No HD. 3) After a year or less when the relatives...

Hi, I'm getting away from cable for several reasons and will probably go with dish network. Just wondering how much extra (taxes, etc.) is tagged on to the $52.99 price for America's 180. How much will it actually cost per month? Also I'm thinking about getting one of the foreign language...
