(Sorry if this is a newb question). Wanting to add two HD (not DVR) receivers to my DirecTV. I have three receivers now (two HDDVR, one HD), and a four-way splitter (from Direct) between the dish and the coax that goes to my three receivers. So, can I just tie in with my current splitter...

Ok, I would really like a fixed frame sceen for the HT I am building. These are about as cheap as I can find that have decent reviews. Anyone ever use one or have one? Any advice on this ubject would be helpful. TIA.

Ok, So I'm building my HT. I definitely want the Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver. It definitely seems like the best one for the money, and offers HDMI switching and 7.1. Now I need some speakers. My room is ~20'x30'. I was looking at the Onkyo SKS-HT750 7.1 set. It gets good reviews and seems...

I noticed it was uplinked in HD. Is that only for Atlanta? I'm in Birmingham, and I was wondering if we would get it regionally. TIA.

Ok, I am also building a new house. My basement is going to be completely built around my "Theater Room" (what my wife calls it). It is going to be 21' x 29' with a 8-8.5' drop ceiling (no way to avoid that with the way the house is built, although I think it will make running cables easier)...

Ok, first, is there a phone number you can call to ask complicated questions? These installers can't seem to get this right...... The problem: I have two coax cables coming to my garage from my two dishes (I have a 500 and a 300, the 500 has a DP34-500 on it). Now I want to add another 622...

I had my 2nd 622 installed Monday. I had a 622 and a 301 before. I have two dishes: a 500 for 110/119 and a 300 for 129. So I have two cables coming down to my garage. The guy brought a "3-4 switch" to hook it up with, but he said it didn't work. He said he had to "trick" it to get it to...

I can't find 129 with my Dish 300. I'm moving it from 61.5 to get my HD RSN's. Anyone know where I can get reliable azimuth and elevation angles? Dish can't give them to me because they only have them for Dish 1000's (or so they say). I have a Dish 500 pointed at 110/119, so the Dish 300 for...

I just realized that my 622 does not display caller ID. My 811 always did. I've had for a few months now and it has always worked great. I searched around the menus to see if there was some way to activate it and couldn't find anything. I even did a hard reset and it didn't help. Any ideas...

Is there any way I can get the guide data from the satellite channels put on the OTA channels? If not, what is the easiest way to record from channels with no guide data? (Sorry if this has been covered a million times, but I couldn't find a recent thread covering it) TIA. By the way...

Ok, I ordered my 622 and it is supposed to be installed on 5/24. The guy at Dish told me that the 622 would come "about 10 days before that". Cool. I have a Dish 500 pointed at 110/119 and a Dish 300 pointed at 61.5. I don't exactly know what kind of switch I have on the 500. They go into...

Ok, back in January, some of my channels stopped working (I got the "satellite signal acquisition in progress, press up or down to change channels" message). I called and went through the whole song and dance about how to fix it and the tech people couldn't figure it out. So they sent a repair...

Ok, I have Dish now, and I would love to have a HD DVR. However, the mythical 622 is gonna cost $300 and may never actually arrive. So, my question is: Why would I not get one of Direct's "free" (with rebate) MPEG2 DVR's? I get my networks OTA and they just put TNT-HD on their package...

Is it possible to run a DISH signal and a cable signal through the same coax? Has anyone tried this? It would be a lot easier than running another piece of coax to that room.......any advice would be appreciated.

I'm new at this advanced Dish stuff, so please excuse me. I have 2 Dish 500 dishes with DP TWIN LNB's on them. I'm using one for 110/119 and the other is doing nothing. I can easily get a DP 21 switch. Is this enough to pick up 61.5 and the new VOOM channels (assuming LOS is not a problem)...
