    My first impression of D* HD vs. E* HD

    I guess I'll be doing some comparisons soon too. I just signed up to switch to DirectTV from Dish!

    ViP211 and L434 - Broke my HDMI

    Too bad smart folks like you don't work at Dish. I don't think they have a clue all the problems their updates are giving folks. I had to have my VIP211 replaced because of the same problem.

    ESPN-HD Horizontal break in picture

    I have 2 VIP 211 on both a Mits RPTV and Panasonic AE900U and I've been noticing a horizonal break in the center of the picture while watching ESPN-HD. It's not there during studio shots but usually there during the field shots. Is anyone else experiencing this and know the cause? I'd...

    "Digital" locals in Alaska

    I get the locals in Anchorage but I don't understand why I don't get them on all my receivers. I have 2 HD 211 and 2 SD 510 receivers. On one of my 211 receivers I don't get any channels in the double digits (i.e. 2,4,11, etc.) but I do get them on the other 211 receiver. The other one also...

    Dish Signal reliable in Anchorage?

    I'm moving to Anchorage and was wondering if the signal there is reliable especially during the winter? I've read you need at least a 42" dish. I used to subscribe to the HD package and was hoping to have the same in Alaska. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Pocket Dish defrag, good idea?

    Well, I have the Archos PMA430. Not exactly a PocketDish but I run through the defrag about once every 3 months. I haven't had any problems with it. I would always make backups though, just in case.

    Are you paying for locals? I'm not and the OTA local guide no longer works.

    Disappearance of local guide program info

    I started getting the local guide information about a month ago but they are gone again and it's been a few days now. It was nice to see the local guide information. I also have 2 211 units. Was this due to a software upgrade?

    Costco Selling 622 with Rebate, what is the rebate

    I was just as COSTCO yesterday. I'd be interested in one if there indeed a $270 rebate and not just for new customers.

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    Mine quit woking and the HDMI cable never moves. The other unit upstairs failed and I never even used it. They sent me a replacement 211 and the HDMI works fine on it for now. Let's see how long that will be.

    HDMI to DVI adapter

    If anyone can benefit from it, I have a DVI to HDMI cable that I no longer use. Purchased it from monoprice and used it for few days before I upgraded to the 211 receivers. It is the #2285 24AWG 15ft w/ jacket.

    HDMI to DVI adapter

    I am using that one and it works just fine. I was contemplating purchasing the remote controlled one but for now since I only have the DVD and the Dish box the push button does the job.

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    My VIP211 HDMI output just failed today. Initially thought it was my Panny AE900 but the output from my Toshiba (HDMI) DVD player works fine. Performed several reboots, power down and finally swapped it out with the one upstairs (where I only use the component hook-ups) and it doesn't work...

    Retailer Chat Recap - November 10th, 2005

    I see that Dish Network and Archos have joined forces. I have the Archos AV420 Pocket Video Recorder and I love it. The AV500E and AV700E are exactly the same models Archos has. I'm thinking about replacing my AV420 with the PMA430. I just wish the price would come down a bit but with X-mas just...

    Dish HD & Voom HD with 1 dish ?

    I'm a former Voomer and still have the Voom dish on my roof. Can I use this to get the Voom package and is it already pointing to the correct location? I have a Dish 500 which I'm using. I don't see why I have to pay another $199 to get it installed by dish to get the Voom program.

    Goodbye to Voom (long)

    I also had great dealing with Installs Inc. and Voom. I had them come out a total of 4 times. One time they were late but they did call beforehand to say that they would be late. No company is perfect, they all have their problems but each time I expressed something I needed fixed, Voom and...

    Should I go Voom?

    You will just have to experience it yourself. Take other comments with a grain of salt. I've had great dealings with both my installer and Voom. This of course has absolutely no bearing on what your dealings will be. There was a commitment of 6 months when I joined and $1 installation for 3...

    Customer Service & Install, Inc. Were Great!

    Been with VOOM for about a month and can honestly say that I am very happy with their customer servce and support. First time I called them back was for not getting all the local channels. They scheduled for Installs Inc for the serivice and took care of that problem. They replaced the OTA...
