I want a microHD for 2013

I Want to Win!!

I want to win!

Sadly, not entirely true...I met these "requirements" and was told initially by chat that I do not qualify. Then I called and was told "sure, no problem" but nothing came in the mail. One week later I called asking what happened and was flat out told "You don't qualify, only people who had 200...

@Tampa8, @Mochuf, @Thechaz05 I think you all have a misunderstanding, I have always had AMC until Dish dropped it. I have had the 200 package and only recently moved to the Welcome pack which also had AMC (but not in HD) so please do not say I did not have it to begin with. thanks

So, I have a feeling this is a tired subject...I actually called instead of chatted with a loyalty rep who "promised me" a roku player and $30 credit towards my bill. I thought "wow! maybe I won't cancel dish after all" and "maybe a call was all it took instead of a chat." I was happy at this...

well, yesterday I chatted again as I am still out of the country. asked for loyalty and was quickly transfered. same offer again except 3 ppv more. I asked to put my account on pause until I could get back and talk to someone on the phone. the Rep said he would do this but he would need to talk...

sorry @ chibi! this dang phone always wants to auto correct spelling.

@chibi, hi, what did you say to the Rep as you had the welcome pack? I went through 2 reps. the first one was so bad he didn't even think that AMC was on the welcome pack. he even implied that I was somehow cheating the system! after he figured out that I was right he transfered me to the...

Hello, So I have been out of the country for a couple of weeks and just now found out that AMC is no longer with Dish. I just recently contacted Dish for a Roku player but the "loyalty" agent only offered me $5 off for 3 months? So I guess the roku deal is finished? I previously had the 200...

I want my microHD I want my microHD!

Thanks Iceberg, now I know no HD... I see some NBC feeds on 72W AMC6 that might not be HD? Perhaps that would work? I did more research on DVB-S2 and now I am a little less confused... wikipedia is my friend :-)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I see thats true perazzimx15l but this is for my parents and the receiver they own does not do HD. I am sure they don't want up upgrade right now as they just installed the system. @kodaz I believe the dish is 90cm. Actually, would this receiver be able...

Hello, So a while ago I was able to have fun playing with my parents Glorystar system. I am completely new to FTA so it was a good experience. I was able to get into the advanced settings area and do a blind scan to pick up several new channels. I don't understand all of the menu options and...

Hello, I think one of the easiest and cheapest ways is to simply use Cat 6 cable and a HDMI connection at the end. There are many examples of this but here is a link from amazon Amazon.com: HDmi Over CAT5/CAT6 Wallplate Extender Kit Hdmi for f: Electronics Cat 5/6 cable is not too expensive...

I would like to own a GEOSATpro 90cm dish to watch these channels Rtv, PBS, any Canadian and other International channels. I would love to put a motor on it to check out what else I can find :-)

that would be a gigantic red flag to me. I would think somebody doing for this for a living would know better Yes, I think that is true normally. I discovered that he was a person my father knew from church who has done this in the past (dish/directv). However, he is basically retired now...

Just make sure that your parents verify that the installer gets the Signal Quality readings balanced and has the them peaked as high as possible above 50% on the 3 set-up channels 901, 113 and 106 before running the channel update (page 49 in the manual). Very common to see these Signal...

Thanks Anole and Iceberg, Well I spoke with my parents today and they already have received the equipment for a 1 room setup. They even have an installer lined up for Monday. I guess I don't need to get too involved just yet. However the next time I visit, I am definatly going to play with...

Thanks everyone for the great information! I have been looking around for the past couple of days and there is really a lot of information to absorb. " If so, I would recommend that a PC based satellite receiver can be quite challenging and will present a much more difficult learning curve...

Hello, I am looking for a little advice. Would it be better to buy a FTA setup or Glorystar? I am new to both so I am hoping someone will give me their two cents. The reason I am asking is because my parents (who live in Northern Minnesota) are thinking about buying a GloryStar system. I was...
