    Dish 811 Audio Video input jacks

    I am getting the the 811 receiver soon and as was looking over the back panel pics I saw that it has 2 sets of video input jacks? Can those be used to monitor an external source, (Xbox or Media center PC etc), in a split screen or PiP.

    Let's hear it for LAB/MOOV on Dish!

    I too loved MOOV/LAB, Tank is great (also a favorite withe kids). I called it the screensaver channel. Its very true that its one of the first channels show off cause your almost guaranteed to see eye candy, as opposed to a high def head shot of some unshaven extreme sports guy in the jungle.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Well we all need to go look at our terms of service to see if the use of the receiver is contingent upon the use of the service - more than likely it is. Then you'd have to look to see what happens if Voom is unable to fulfill their end, more than likely the equipment is disabled. Remember...

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    But (going on this scenario), if you put the card back in wouldn't it detect that the "D-Day" has occured and activate the Kill anyways? I suppose this really depends on the intricacies of Card programming and on that I freely admit my ignorance.

    OTA STB Time Bomb?

    Ok Folks, I was having a lively discussion with some coworkers concerning the the OTA use of the STB's after the 30th. It was pointed out that newly canceled customers are getting their Boxes shut down immediately. Most of the talk on the board here has centered on them sending a kill signal...

    Where are all the VOOMERS Going?

    that about Sums it up... I've told my wife that We are going to OTA HD (if we can keep the VOOM STB) and save the 67.00 per month, of course Baseball season has started (Go Marlins!!) so that might fly for about 1 month. I honestly don't know. Crawling back to sd E* sticks in my craw but I...

    Thats what I did last month (for this eventuality) I got them to give it to me for free. It would a nice farewell gesture for them to upgrade eveyoneto VaVaVoom till the end (Unfortunately it may only serve as bittersweet reminder of just how much all the other providers SUCK!!! ) :eek: I...

    Not just CA but FL TX AZ NM NYC and Chicago. The latin market is huge (bigger than any other minority), why do you think GE bought a majority stake in Telemundo?? And you can't get them to watch unless you add a few Spanish Channels. Esp in Miami we latinos are picking up HDTV's at Brandsmart...

    Considering upgrading to VaVa?

    Actully thats not correct. Many of those Channels do not appear on the other providers "Basic" Packages. you generally have to upgrade to another pricing tier. There is a Chart that someone uploaded yesterday comparing most of the new channels and the priciing tiers of E* D* and VOOM but damned...

    Considering upgrading to VaVa?

    I Voted Yes, but the New Channels didn't do it for me. It was the chance of a free ride, I called the CS line and asked if I could get 2 months free to try out VaVaVOOM. (like new subscribers) They said yes and if I didn;t like it to call back and change service plans before the end of the...

(you are paying a premium to only watch what you want.I don't no how many channels you actually get 60 100 etc.) if someone else with different tastes than you decides he...
