Would be great to win. I am a relatively new subscriber and love the service. I have my Slingbox connected to the Living room VIP 722k. Since I spend, on average, about two weeks a month overseas the ability to not have conflicts with my (so far!!) understanding wife would be great.

Finally got done at 8pm! Some trouble running one of the cables. The weather is terrible here at the moment but the picture looks great. Good guys doing the instal - telephoned ahead with the arrival time , 2 722k's with OTA installed and a 1000.2 in the back yard - they don't get the...

There are Macon locals - how do I know if they are on EA or not? I would assume that if Macon locals are on 1000.2 then I would be forced to take 1000.2. Would it be possible for me to request EA since I will have the OTA module and could get the locals that way? I know I wouldn't have the...

I checked on dishpointer and it seems to be about a wash with the 1000.4. It may have more trees close to its direction but the azimuth is 49.9 v 36.2 so trees may be less of a factor. What advantage would the 1000.4 give me if both the 1000.2 and 1000.4 have an equally good unobstructed view...

I'm in Macon, Georgia 31210 - Hadn't looked at that - I will try to check, of course the installer will probably show up with 1000.2 since that is on the work order. I do have HDMI cables on my blu-ray player so I can use that to check the instal. I also have component cables. Thanks...

Thanks again Cowboy! Any other tips regarding getting good install? I do have a basement/crawl space that makes running cable easy downstairs, my only concern is how they make it look nice going to the upstairs. I looked at the dish locator website and it appears to me that the dish will...

Wow thanks for the detailed reply. I have the locations for the boxes set and intend to put the sling with box 1. I will do the quick and dirty check you suggest for the sling. The second 722 will be in the bedroom with a coax to the other rooms. The master is on the 1st floor and the other...

Well I took the plunge and have an installer coming on Friday. They are going to install 2 722k's. The confirmation email says under equipment that they will use the 110/119 Orbit and lists two Dish 1000.2 KITs - does that mean I am getting two dishes? I also ordered an OTA module for each...

Thanks JosephB, As I read more on here I just came across that - not exactly something that Best Buy makes obvious is it!! Worldtraveller

Hi Guys, New to this satellite stuff and have finally decided to swap from my local cable company due to lack of HD availability. Was wondering if you could help me design a system and work out what it would cost (installation and per month). I would probably use Plus HD DVR package through...
