    A little 301 help?

    Just thought I would stop in & let you know what the final result was...... Switched socket!!! It's the only one on the switch in the entire basement. (there are 18 others) The switch is UPSTAIRS, and it controls the light in the stairwell to the basement, and that ONE outlet. How I...

    A little 301 help?

    The TV is around 7-10 yrs old, House wiring is probably circa 1970-something. FWIW, you can tell when the AC kicks on in the house, most of the lights in any room dim or blink. Does that mean anything? I'm no electrician, obviously. Thanks.

    A little 301 help?

    I know that, but it sure seems like it did! But I don't FEEL like doing any troubleshooting. I want you to figure it out for me. ;) I'll try that out when I get home tonight. Thanks.

    A little 301 help?

    I moved one of my 301's into my basement, and it goes through the searching for signal, and downloading guide every time I turn it on. (my other 301 & 501 seem to be just fine) What's weirderer, is sometimes it seems if I leave it on, & turn the TV off, it will do the same thing when the TV...

    721 receiver for $299?

    I haven't ordered yet. I was trying to understand how it worked before I called them. I will give them a call and make sure I get the DP34. I'm still pretty new to the whole Satellite world, so I'l probably ask a lot of dumb questions. Thanks for the help.

    721 receiver for $299?

    2 dishes for me. I had a hard enough time persuading "the boss" to let me get 721. She's not gonna like another $100 for the DP34. Ugh. THanks for the help.

    721 receiver for $299?

    Is that what it means when people talk of "cascading"? Is there something besides another DP34 I could buy to do this? Thanks

    721 receiver for $299?

    Really dumb question regarding the 721... I have a DP34 w/3 recievers on it. I'd like to add the 721 as the 4th. Would the 721 require more than the one remaining output on the DP34, since it is a dual tuner? :confused: Thanks

    I thought emails to CEO@echostar were suppose to be answered?

    I sent an email today at 11:00 EST, and there was a message on my machine at home by 1:00. I left a voicemail, hopefully, he calls back soon. P.S. My email was about how I am planning on discontinuing service. Guess that would get a faster response. ;)

    2nd Dish install problem. Advice? Long...

    Actually, just heard from DISH again... They are sending the part, DP32, overnight, to my house. They re-scheduled, yet again, with Antenna Star for Thursday. Guess we'll see how it goes. Are DP32's that scarce?? Antenna Star has been claiming they have not had any in stock since...

    2nd Dish install problem. Advice? Long...

    I've been going round & round with Dish & Antenna Star since November to get my 2nd dish for the expanded local channels. The claim is Antenna star has been without the required parts (SW64?), but never bother to call & reschedule. I always have to call DISH, to find out why Antenna Star did...

    Antenna Star?

    Anyone know of them? I look them up, & I get a place in florida. I'm in PA, so I would guess that is not them. I've been on hold with Dish trying to find out why my 2nd dish (for other locals) hasn't been installed. 4 times since December, they didn't bother to show up for the...

    2 HD Questions:

    Couple of questions: 1) I'm a DHP customer, and looking for the best way to add HD to my plan. I have a HD Sony TV, so I don't need the HD in a box thingy. 2) Friend bought a 65" Mitsu HD TV, and has cable, but wants to get Dish only for HD programming. She tried OTA via the TV (which...

    existing DHP customers getting shafted on the 811

    I don't think they ever opened up the 6000 deal to DHP customers. I called close to 10 times in the last 2 months, and they always told me "NO". I tried going up the ladder, and getting irate, as well as being nice about it. The always said it was not available for DHP customers. I'm...
