A friend has a Dish VIP722 receiver in living room connecting to the local HDTV via HDMI. There is also a coax cable running from TV2 output to second room where there is an old TV. All work good. Now he wants to upgrade the old TV to HDTV. The HDTV he is looking at does have a coax connector...

I seem to remember seeing on the check switch screen a "checkbox" for superdish. Anybody know what that is really doing? Do we need to select the superdish "check" for the newer dishes such as dish 1000+, 500+, etc? Are they considered superdish too?

I am thinking of putting an enclosure to protect the dpp44 switch. Does anybody know if the switch generates lots of heat and require good ventilation ?

Is it possible to re-point the unused 148 dish 500 (since locals are all now moved to the main dish 500) to the 121 (or mirror 108.7), and replace the LNB, so that one can add the international packages that are available on 121? Is that the easiest/cheapest solution to add the international...

How heavy is 500+ compared to 500? Is it possible to replace an old 500 mounted on roof (well, not really roof, it's screwed on the eaves) with a 500+? Are they about the same weight and size? Can the same mounting be used and just dish/lnb be replaced? I remember I read somewhere that...

A friend moved to a house that already has a dish hookup (dpp twin?) from a previous owner. He recently saw a cheap 322 receiver and bought it from a garage sale. Now he's asking what's the cheapest program he can get from dish. I thought it's the 5.99 local only but want to confirm with you...

a colleague is thinking of getting dish since inlaws are coming. a few questions: 1) can you get with no contract? since inlaws' staying is only 6 months. 2) if you have to have a one-year contract, can you change program after 6 months? eg: from "great wall package" to the AT60 or...

Separator and splitter look similiar, but I understand you can't use a splitter in place of a separator. But can one use a separator as a splitter to split out the VHF/UHF signals to serve two old TVs?

A friend currently has two receivers. The installer installed two dishes (one primary, one for some extra locals) on the top of the roof, and ran two cables down to the house's closet and from there, used the existing homerun cables to the two receivers. If he wants to add another receiver...

Anybody know if the 301 receiver can be connected to one of the two cables coming from two dish 500s (one for local)? Latest dpp lnb is used on dish 500.

(question for a friend) Dishnetwork has something called UHF remote where you can remotely control your receivers from another room. Does DTV have something similiar? Thanks

I am thinking of adding a receiver. With dp34 and a spare existing cable, all I need is a receiver. My cousin said he has a extra receiver in a room that is not needed anymore. He can just give it to me for free. My question, do I have to change owner? Can I just plug it in and it will just work...

Can anyone recommend a good RF modulator? It can take the output from several dish receivers, modulate them into several VHF/UHF channels, and feed into the cable home run to the entire house.

A friend is thinking of getting dish network with local. so I think he needs dish 500 and dish 300 since some locals require dish 300 in our area (San Francisco Bay area). His house is pre-wired with two RG6 from outside to a central closet inside the house, then there is a home run (with two...

I am planning to get a new dishnet install, with top60/Local (with available). since some of my locals are on 148, I guess I will get two dishes (500+300). I will need two receivers for now, and have no plan for HDTV for at least a few years. 1) shall I go with digital home or one of the...

a few years ago I was in a friend's house and listening to the music. He said he was receiving from satellite. I didn't ask who's the provider. Does dishnetwork provide this? If so, is it a separate program or free with top50? thanks!

I am thinking of getting dish and have a few questions: 1) on their website, it says a $5.99/month for local channel. Is it 5.99 per receiver or per account no matter how many receivers you have ? 2) I have a TV in bedroom and living room, but I never watch them at the same time. Do I need two...
