Hi Fellars, Been a long time since I've posted. Anyways...I'm interested in getting service at our camp out on the lake. I'd like the most economical package/s. I was thinking maybe the TURBO HD pack along with locals....since 99% of my viewing is on the major networks. Is this possible...

My nephew is considering becoming an E* installer. He drove past a local installer/contractor's??? and saw a sign that they were looking for installers and mentioned it to me. He then asked how much I thought they make. I haven't the foggiest, but since I'm a member here, I told him I'd ask...

How come I can't see NESN-HD???? I can watch the SD, but the HD says "CHECK BACK OFTEN BLAH-BLAH-BLAH"???? Game is on right now, the Sox are at home, and I KNOW the game is in HD....what gives???? Ooooops my bad....It's a SOX in 2 game!!! Is it only the live games that are in HD???

Got a call from E* last week. Need to upgrade my 2 (811's) in oder to continue receiving HD programming. Installer will be here this Wednesday. When I spoke to the CSR they said that the 2 new rcvr's will be free of charge to upgrade as well as the install of a second dish for any additional...

Trying to help a friend out repointing his dish. Anyways, he's got a Dish 500 pointed at the 119/110 birds. Which LNBF is for which bird??? Center-most LNBF 119 & outer LNBF 110? Or is it the other way around? We got a signal strength in the 120's on the 119 bird, but couldn't get squat on...

Just wondering what everyone out there is using? Sammy, US Digital (Hi-Sense), another? What have you used in the past, present & why? Anyone know when the next 6th gen chip set tuners will be out?

It's a long read, but apparently DTV tuners aren't making the grade. http://broadcastengineering.com/RF/FCC-DTV-interference-20070419/

Just wondering for those who've had the 811 previously and now have the 622, or 211...or those that currently have both, or any combination thereof... What were your OTA signal strengths with the 811 vs. the 622, 211??? Better, worse??

Well, as most here on these boards already know, local network HD's thru E* are VERY limited and it seems that E* is in no rush to get them to us. For those of you who live in a fairly decent sized DMA, you're probably lucky in the fact that you have OTA HD's available to you. Not so in my...

Just wondering what's the difference between a spotbeam & a transponder?:confused:

Just wondering if anyone here has noticed the decrease in picture quality as well. For the past few weeks now, I've noticed a big degradation in the picture quality. I've got a Dish 500 pointed at 110/119. Strength on 110 is in the high 80's, and high 90's for 119. The picture seems a lot...

Here's a good read for those in hard to receive areas. http://www.ultimateavmag.com/howto/405hdtv/ A little hope for those of us in the sticks!!!

Just wondering... Do any of the big wigs(those that are in a position to make a difference) at E* monitor these boards. Do they have any clue whats going on with their customers? The wants, the needs, the likes, the dislikes, the concerns, the ramifications of crappy decision making? Do they...

What do you call the spyglass thingy the tech pulls out to find the orbital locations? Where can you get one?

Just wondering .... I have an old D* dish. Can I change out the LNB, and maybe use it to pickup a E* bird like 61.5?

Can't decide between the 91XG & CM4228. I'm shooting for stations 73.8 miles away (I know it's a stretch), but I won't know till I try. Broadcast frequency channels are 32, 43, & 53. Obviously, I'll be using a pre-amp, but I still can't decide between the two antennas. It seems the CM4228...

Hey fellars, Check this out.... http://www.pvrwire.com/2007/01/10/video-hillcrest-labs-loops/

Just wondering, Those of you who are using the 622's 2nd output to a 2nd tv, how are you doing it? When I upgrade, I'd like to be able to hook up a tv in our bedroom, but the damn set is nearly 50 ft away from where the 622 will be based.:confused:

Just happen to look at my online statement. Went up roughly $3.18. What the increase for? My monthly used to be $79.48, now it went up to $82.66. What gives?

First off I'm not here to gloat nor bash E*. They've served me well for the past 4-5 years. They offered locals for a period time that we couldn't get from D*. But the time has come to leave. My reason for leaving E* was simply a matter of preference and network HD availability. I'm in an...

Hey guys, Movin' back to D*. Install is this Sat. Here's what I'm getting 1) HR20 1) H20 1)???? standard rcvr. As far as the install goes is there anything I need to make sure the installer knows/hooks up? I'd like to be prepared for future channels. Should he hook up a 3lnb or 5lnb...

A little help fellars... Currently with E*, and hate 'em. Thinking about goin' back to D*, but have a few questions before I make the call. I'm at 05773 zip. D* offers locals from the Burlington area which is fine, but they're not HD. On the D* website there's a DNS tool where I put in...

As the title suggests... Just how far are you pulling in HD OTA signals??? What is your equipment...antenna, pre-amp & such? Terrain between you & towers? Still trying to figure out if I should even attempt at getting OTA from 76 miles away. TIA!

Just wondering when using this combo together, is a combiner needed? Or, does the CM7777 eliminate the need for a combiner?:confused: TIA.

What are my chances of getting signals off a tower 76.3 miles away? There are a few small mountains in between...say 2500ft. All of the channels I'm interested in are in the VHF range. I know I'll need a good long range directional antenna and pre-amp. But, what are my...
