    Switching to Comcast--better deal

    I have been a loyal Dish Customer for 5 years. I've referred 4 poeple who have become Dish Subs. During that time, I've purchased 5 receivers. However when it came time for me to get MP4 technology and/or HD DVR---I had to shell out some serious $ for a production I wouldn't own and I had to...

    Now that NBR (for the 5xx series) is settled..how about more HD!

    It has been stated that SatelliteGuys influenced Dish to include NBR on some of the DVRs. Then let's push even harder for more HD! Starz, Cinemax, The Movie Channel, Universal and Espn2 I think should be no brainers. Comcast includes the 1st 2, DirectV the last 2.....Dish None! What do we...

    What Equipment will I need to change to new 44 Switch?

    I currently have a Dish 500 system with the old style LNB's and a 61.5 dish with 1 lnb (old style) as well. I am using a 6000, 811, 4900 & 301. Considering adding a 921. My question is 2 fold: 1. If I just want to add the ability to have more receivers can I daisy chain another sw switch...

    I have run the component out to my Samsung TV, composite to my tv as well as a composite and s-video to the Philips DVDR985 DVD recorder. The 811 is very dark on recording s-video or composite. The weird thing is, the composite directly into the tv is brighter than running it throught the...

    Does anyone's 811 remote control their samsung tv?

    I just got an 811. I scanned to find the code on the remote for my 30" Widescreen Samsung HDTV. It will change volume, power & mute, but not switch TV video inputs. My old 4900 remote would do this. Anyone else have luck with 811 remote changing their input?

    6000 recall problems?

    I noticed lately that my 6000 has having problems when I recall to the last channel viewed. For instance, from 007-1 ABC-DT, I manually enter 9422 HDNET. Then when I hit recall, it takes me to 007-2. Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution. Ironically, I thought I was having a...

    Any reason why I should not switch to DTV?

    I am really fed up with Dish's antics. They are now telling me to spend $99 or commit to 1 yr of hd pak to get the 8psk so I can continue to get the HBO & ShoHD channels I already pay for. Has anyone switched one way or another? I would be interested to hear feedback. It doesn't sound...

    I see a note on my guide that says if I can't see 9456 or 9460 to call Dish. Well...I can't. Does that mean I need psk module? If so...is Dish giving those away for free????

    Dish & DirecTV off same dish?

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have both DirecTV & Dish from same dish? I understand each most likely will need their own LNBs. Is there a source with adapters for this?

    Dish 811 Noise?

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me the noise level difference between 811 and 6000? I have 6000 now...am on my 2nd unit and 3rd 8vsb module due to excessive fan noise and problems. They offered $149 to upgrade to 811...but I don't want it if it's an noisy as 6000.
