    722 to 211k input question

    The fan in my 722k has been quiet and it's in the same place in my entertainment center. When I first got that 612 it started acting up. There is a big difference in the quality of those boxes. I think Dish Network might be wise to phase out the 612 altogether and maybe they will once they...

    722 to 211k input question

    I just got rid of my 612 for a 722k because the fan in it would come on at high speed while I was watching a program. It would rev up and stay on for about 5 minutes and then go back to normal. Also I think the hard drive caused the picture to stutter sometimes and it used to lock up and reboot...

    More HD at what cost!

    I know Starz looks pretty good lately. They may may be getting a strong feed from that.

    The Dish Network Install from Hell

    Have them do a reinstall and credit you for any damages to your house. Dish has some awesome very knowledgable installers and some not so knowledgable careless installers who shouldn't even be doing the kind of work the job entails. From Dish's track record of great customer service my guess is...

    Which tv would you get?

    Well don't buy a good TV. Buy one that you won't be satisfied with and that breaks down quick or quicker because nothing is full proof. If you love Samsung buy a Samsung but from experience with them I know the company does not put out as high quality stuff as Sony. It may last you awhile but I...

    Which tv would you get?

    Excuse me I own 2. One is brand new. I know they're good TV's. And you're an engineer so we have to accept what you say oh boy. You get what you pay for period.

    Which tv would you get?

    Get a Sony forget the stupid asumptions. Even if they do partner with a big manufaturing company (which I doubt they do for their televisions) it must be made with Sony parts and to Sony's specs. A lot of electronics and appliances are made all at one factory but the companies use different...

    So what ever happened to the new HD channels?

    Warner Cable has those channels in HD already on their digital package. My mom has them on her TV. The AMC HD channel doesn't look to sharp though.

    Buyers remorse time to opt out of DISH?

    They probably think the picture is lousy. Tell them guard their checking account. They will get a charge for teminating and it will not be good.

    Sony all the way. When in doubt get the Sony!

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    My picture quality has improved greatly since after I first got the 1000.2 but I did have someone from Dish Network out here who had their tech support note that my picture quality looked crappy even after he gave me a brand new DVR box which I think I needed anyway because the old one was to...

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    Mine are in the high 50's to low 60's on most of the transponders on from 17 on up and a few are coming in at 71 to 77 on 129W.

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    Give it awhile for everything to sync also. Sometimes it takes awhile for everything to get locked in with the best possible picture. I think having a 1k2 is better than having a wing dish. If you still have the wing dish you can always revert to it at a later date and maybe have both 129 and...

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    They can make adjustments to peoples reciever boxes if you're having trouble. I don't know what they did but the picture is looking better. Right now I'm watching The Haunting of Molly Hartley in HD on Starz and it looks almost as good as if I owned the DVD. I know no satellite or cable TV...

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    It's set to 1080i. The guy from Dish Network that came out was the field manager because they were busy and he was the only one available and he knew what he was doing. He called tech support and had them note my account that even with the new reciever the picture was still grainy. As of last...

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    I have a 500 dish on my roof still but the LNB is gone. It's still pointed at 61.5 and I have 1000.2 now. I'll probably stay with what I have but some shows and movies look absolutely horrible. Like the signal is coming from a web cam. As an example the kids movie High School Musical 3 on Starz...

    2 dish vs 1 dish

    If someone has a 1k2 satellite and then connects a 500 dish into the port thats open on it aimed the 61.5 satellite would the 61.5 disable the 129 dish or could the 129 just be unplugged? I have a 1k2 and my picture quality is not good. I'm thinking of going to a 2 dish system to see if the...

    Grainy HD picture on 1000.2 at 129W and 110W

    The warner cable HD box has that feature I noticed.

    Grainy HD picture on 1000.2 at 129W and 110W

    It's set for 1080i. I had to mention that to the tech. I was at my mom's place today and she has Warner cable with their standard HD cable box which is pretty nice for a cable box but I noticed their HD signal isn't that sharp either. I may just let it go because I am getting a good deal from...

    Grainy HD picture on 1000.2 at 129W and 110W

    I have a brand new system from dish network with a new 612 DVR new 1000.2 picking up the 3 satellites and my HD picture quality is horrible. It's to the point that I'm about stop the service. I had the area field manager out here to check everything over and the signal is strong as it can be...

    TurboSilver HD...the final say

    You might as well just change packages but of course it will cost more. It may be awhile before they're able to get everything on the strictly HD packages. The nice thing about the Dish Network website is you can change what you want online and within minutes its on your TV.

    Fox Business HD Now Live!

    Now we have Fox News HD but what about the whole slew of HD channels Directv already has including local channels that Dish Network hasn't gotten yet? They seem to be wanting to bring in new customers for only $10 a month but not doing much to get caught up on channels they should've already...

    Want To Add DVR - Need Help/Advice

    The contract between AT&T and Dish Network is about to be over and I think all current Dish Network customers from AT&T will then be handled directly thru Dish Network beginning Feb. 1st. Maybe you can call Dish Network and ask them if they can help you after Feb 1st to upgrade for a low price.

    Switching to Directv finally

    I'm free to say what I want to say and do what I want to do and if for some reason it made you get all worked up antdogg that's your problem. Don't try to tell people what they can and can't post on here about satellite TV. Good for you if you moved to Directv. And as far as looking for a...

    Switching to Directv finally

    I haven't called them and spoken to a cancellation person in the past. I have complained to them in the past on the phone and I think if someone does threaten to leave more than once within a period of time they probably won't comp that person with anything. If you don't like that they gave me...
