    Does anybody make a decent portable DTV currently? Maybe something along the lines of a 5 inch or 7 inch? I have seen a few here and there, but I have been sort of underwhelmed by what I have seen.

    Looking For A 802.11n Wifi Router Or Wireless Access Point

    I am looking to improve my wifi "footprint" around my home. I already have an 802.11g modem/router from my internet service provider, but I am thinking that since I want to improve coverage around the farm, I might just as well get an 802.11g, preferably one with a removable antenna and...

    DISH 722k PSIP On Over The Air Channels

    I am now noticing PSIP data (channel guide information) on the Over The Air terrestrial channels on my DISH 722k. When that happened a couple of years back they eventually vanished as unexpectedly as they appeared. For the record, I don't subscribe to any locals through the satellite, but I...

    I bought a Samsung UN22D5000 two days ago to replace a Samsung LNT1953H TV/Computer monitor. The older one has two F connectors for coaxial cable, but the newer one has only one. Because I like to have both an over the air antenna and DISH network, I need twin coaxial cables. I bought a...

    622 to 722k

    I made the switch tonight from 622 to 722k. They said the return the old 622 receiver, but nothing was said about the spare cables and remote controls. Does DISH want the remote controls and cables returned or may I just keep them? I certainly don't want to be charges extra for them and I...
