I came back to Dish from DIRECTV a week ego but I am not happy with it. Is there any way to cancel it without paying penalty?

Switched from Dish about one month ago and the Genie remote lag is already getting on my nerves. Sometimes I have to press a button multiple times just to get it to display something. Disabled scroll effects but it is still slow. Not even talking about clients, these are totally unacceptable...

Is SAM - 4803 4x8 multiswitch compatible with the new Slimline dish?

Thinking about switching to Directv and I have few questions: 1. Can sports pack be added to any package? On their web site I picked choice extra and added sports pack but then I was automatically upgraded to premier package, don't know why. I don't want premier package. 2. Does their hd dvr...

Are there any true HD games on this channel or do they just upconvert 480i to 1080i? In praticular, will Manchester United vs AC Milan and Real Madrid vs Olympique Lyonnais matches be in HD today?

I was thinking about activating an external hard drive then move my recordings from 622 to the external HD, and then watch these recordings on my new 722. Can the same external hard drive be effectively used on more than one DVR?

Yesterday I called Dtv and signed up for one free HD DVR + one free SD receiver for my second TV AND a promise that after three months I can get another free HD DVR (or any other advanced receiver) for my second TV. Good deal but I was suspicious about the second free HD DVR so I called this...

I am leaving Dish and going to Directv. I've already signed up and scheduled the installation for next week. However, CRS couldn't answer or partially answered some questions so I'd like to hear from you guys: 1. Does Directv HD DVR has built in an HD OTA tuner? 2. Since I have two HD TVs...

Currently I have dish 1000 pointed to 110,119, and 129. It works most of the time but occasionally I have breakups on 129. Tried to realign the dish but this is the best I can get given the dish location. Before I installed 1000 I had 500 on the same mast with perfect 110 and 119 signal levels...

We have four receivers stocked on the top of each other in data room. Please don't ask me why - it's a school system, you know :). One receiver is R15 DVR and the remaining three are D11. The problem is, when we want to change channel on one receiver with its remote, it changes channels on all...

I currently own one 622 and I'd like to get another one for my second TV. Last time I called Dish about it (November, I think) they wanted $199 for the second 622 DVR. That doesn't sound like a deal to me at all because I both mine for $500 a while ago. Not to mention that they are giving them...

I'm considering to make a switch to D* and I'd like to the following: 1. Can Directv HD DVR provide RF output for second TV like VIP 622 does? 2. If not, then what are the fees for two TVs (both HD)? 3. Do I get second HD receiver free as new customer? (I assume I have to pay for HD DVR)...

Ever since my 622 got the latest software, my OTA recordings (locals) are constantly being "corrupted". Every single HD recording via OTA locals show as "Recovered" after I turn off and turn the receiver back on again. Event info says that the event experienced "data loss" and that it has been...

I have Toshiba 51H83 RP TV for few years now and I've always thought that it had too much overscan on all sides on HD picture. Now when I have 622 DVR and I was able to record and use the overscan test pattern from HDNet, I have "proof" that I was right. According to the pattern, the acceptable...

I have the old Dish HD pack and Voom for a long time and recently both 622 to replace my 811. I used to pay $15 for the above packs plus $6 service access fee for not subscribing to one of their qualified packages. Now I found out they added HD enabling fee to my bill because I do not subscribe...

Not that I'm picky but if this feature is "available" why not to use it? The thing is, I couldn't see a single photo through my 622 DVR yet. When I select photos or folder for the slideshow and click on the Play button, all it happens is that the Play button becomes deselected. Even picture...

I am about to get new VIP 622, I bought it on ebay. Currently I have single 811 receiver, one dish with single legacy lnb pointing to 61.5 and second dish 500 with twin legacy lnb aiming on 110 and 119. Two single cables, one from each dish, are connected with switch 21. My 811 is connected via...

sg2100, coolsat 4000 pro, winegard 76cm. Problem: can't see any satellite but telstar 5. I get 90% level and 77% quality on it. The mast seems to be plumb but I had very hard time pointing to true south and to start from a home satellite which should nimiq2 on 82W or brasilsat on 84W. I am on...

What is satellite loop through output actually for? I know you can connect another receiver to it but why would anyone do that? Does it just pass mpeg2 encrypted signal through it or does it actually send already decoded signal to a second receiver?

Does it work well? Should I consider another one and why? Any bad/good experiences with it? http://www.galaxy-marketing.com/dvbu-321.htm

I have two dishes kinda far away from each other with dish 500 targeting 110 and 119 and another Voom dish aiming on 61.5. There is one SW21 for 110 and 119 attached to the dish 500 and then one coax cable runs from there to my 811 receiver. Can I just add another SW21 to that cable near...

Cannot see picture on any Voom channels HD or SD. All I get is "No satellite signal" message. Don't what's going on, Voom dish is still in place and all connections are okay. However, OTA channels are working just fine but no PG. This is really annoying :mad: . If it continues for one more...

...is there anything good to watch in English? I care mostly about educational Discovery-like channels but I'd also like to be informed and to have at least one news-only (unbiased) channel. What do you guys watch most of the time?

Is buying online the only option? If anybody knows for a store in Atlanta area where I can go and buy a complete system please post.

I came home today for lunch, turned on TV, Voom's box, etc... and the screen was totally black and silent! I tried switching channels, tuning to OTA but nothing, no guide, no message, nothing but a scary red light on the receiver itself. I was totaly shocked while a million thoughts went through...
