Got ya. Thanks. Sounds like I'm in the market for an 8-way splitter.

(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...

Amen......and we need Speed HD in time to watch Rowdy Busch dominate the All-Star Race!!!!

Yes, but I wasn't sure where to start. Is it possible to buy a nice (Da-Lite or whatever) manual screen, cut the screen out, and just hang it on the wall, and build a frame around it? That seems a lot easier than having to build a plywood support for it. Just a thought......

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.

I was afraid of that. Oh well, I'll just have to solve this problem by throwing more money at it.

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...

Yeah, that was why I asked in the first place. It seems everyone else can figure out how to show these games except for good 'ole E*. I don't even like the Braves that much. I just like to keep up with everybody else.

What's your problem with kicking off right after breakfast and listening to the Dave's??? :D War Damn Eagle!

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.

Does anyone have a drop ceiling in their home theater? That was not what I wanted, but I am told there is no way around it (or it would at least be cost-prohibitive). Does anyone think this will cause a problem?

Thanks man. I think we are breaking ground on the house this week, so I'll have lots of questions as we go.

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...

OK, it sounds like cascading another dp34 would be easiest. Can you tell me exactly where it should be hooked up? TIA.

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...

Thanks a ton, man. Got it.

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...

Ok, I spent an hour this evening trying to repoint a dish 300 from 61.5 to 129. I used one of the websites to get elevation and azimuth numbers. I can't get any signal. Is there some trick to this that I'm not getting. I have a couple of questions: Do I need to skew a Dish 300 with one...

I need to repoint too.....I'm in Alabama and my RSN is on 129. I have a dish pointed at 61.5, but I can't seem to get peak angles for 129 off of either of my receivers (a 622 and an old 301). How can I get the angles? TIA.

I live in Birmingham, AL, and I have two dishes. One dual lnb pointed at 110/119 and one single lnb pointed at 61.5. Would it be worth it for me to go ahead and move the 61.5 to 129? Are the Voom channels mirrored on 129? I don't think I would lose anything, would I? Will the B'ham locals...

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...

I just lost 110 here in Alabama. I don't think the weather in Cheyenne is affecting me. I'm also glad it's not just me.

I wonder how far away Birmingham is on that list........since it isn't even on the list yet.

Doesn't that give you 30 men on Contra? I'm sorry......that was too good to pass up.
