    Five or Six TVs??

    What are our options if we want to have 5 or 6 TVs hooked up. I understand that right now they will only lease you 4 receivers? 5 will be HD, if we have a 6th it will be standard.

    No refund, is this normal??

    So we moved from our apartment with Dish to a house that already has TWC, so we dropped dish for the time being (might go back to it at the end of this year). We paid $103 at the beginning of August for July 28-August 27th. We shipped back the equipment on August 14th, and so I got a notice...

    Lets say we move into a house and we need 5 TVs hooked up

    If I understand it right, Dish will only provide up to 4 rooms worth of equipment, is that right? And lets say all 4 of our TVs are HD, they will allow us to have 4 HD boxes, as opposed to 2 dual tuners (that only provide 1 HD and 1 SD signal)? Now what about the 5th TV? Can the satellite...

    Just curious... what's better - Dish DVR box or TiVo DVR box?

    We're moving into a house and might not be able to justify dish anymore (6 TVs... yikes). We might get a TiVo DVR box for our main TV, though... and I'm curious on the differences (I've never used TiVo)

    How much does it take to move a satellite dish out of line?

    We had a fairly windy storm last Friday, and since then we've completely lost a satellite signal. Is this likely/possible, or did something else potentially happen? It was MAYBE gusts to 40, but I doubt it was even that high... so I''m kind of surprised that we're getting 0 signal (our box has...

    Question about dish sling

    Are there any plans to be able to watch your DVR programs via the internet? Cause that would be sweet as hell.

    schedule online?

    I saw a setup on my receiver to register it so I could schedule things online. Go to the website, register, and then all it says is "Coming soon - scheduling online!". Kinda lame. Anyone have a date on when this'll actually be possible?

    Fox Sports Southwest and the many versions

    So Fox Sports Southwest actually has different versions of it. I can tell you for sure that the one in Dallas, TX is different than here in Austin, TX. We missed out on a Texas basketball game because we were getting the best damn sports show from Dallas, great. Their customer service is full...

    Dual receivers and recordings

    I have a dual receiver DVR, and TV2 is in my room. Recordings default to TV2, which is typically fine. Let's say we only have 1 thing recording, and that is set for TV2. Even though we're only using 1 of the 2 available tuners, does this basically shut down my TV to anything but the...

    Recordings to external hard drives?

    With the 722, is this possible? I know it allows for an external HD but can you actually grab your recordings with it?

    The truth on programming access fees?

    For starters, we don't even have phone service in our apartment. Don't need it, don't have it. We have two dual receivers, one upstairs and one downstairs. the upstairs one is in the room with our wireless router, we can probably have that plugged in 24/7. However, downstairs, all we have...

    Just got dish setup... local guide not complete?

    We just got it all setup, but our local guide only goes through the next 30 mins, then it says no information available. Just tried a hard reset by unplugging it for a while, and it still doesn't have it. What am I doing wrong? Surely I'm not limited to the guide for only 30 mins in advance?

    What dish am I getting?

    As far as I know, they have dishes that are Dish 500, Dish 1000, SuperDISH, etc. This is what my sales confirmation says: EQUIPMENT: 110/119 ORBIT Wing dish What does that mean I'm getting?

    Installation frustrations/venting + question

    The first paragraph is just venting, if you care to read. Otherwise skip to the second paragraph :) So, between issues with Dish, issues with the installation contractor, and issues with our apartment complex, this install for Dish is going to take forever. We got Dish service last Monday (a...

    Help me understand the phoneline thing

    From what I understand, they charge you $5 if you don't have your receiver(s) hooked up to a phone line. Well it's not that I care, but we don't even have a landline at our home. Do they really charge you if you don't even have a phone line? We can hook up through ethernet, is that sufficient?

    Considering getting Dish... a few questions

    Hey all, I know this is really noobish but I couldn't readily find the info I was looking for. I'm planning on getting the following: America's Top 200 + TurboHD Silver, 2 dual receivers (one with DVR) for 4 TVs (2 HD's, 2 SD's), local channels, and DVR service. I believe all of this...
