    New MDU MFH2 installation

    My building just had a MDU MFH2 system installed. Starting next week , the units will have the receivers installed. I think I have done my homework but few technical issues still remain: -I got 3 HR22 (couldn't get the HR23) and 1 SD receiver. Assuming MFH2 is a SWM system, do I need the BBC...

    Single dish for all HD and internationals in Miami

    Hello I wonder if there is anything new that now allow a single dish to receive all HD channels and the Brazilian Globo. I heard horror stories about the 129 in south Florida but after so many new dishes and LNBs perhaps things have changed. I only have SW view, no way to point at 61. My...

    Can we chain STS splitters with SWM-8 ?

    My building will have a new MDU system with MFH2. My unit has cable with a lot of splitters. If a have a STS-8 in a closet to distribute the signal to 4 DVRs, assuming I can't have a single line to all of them, can I replace the splitters with the STS-2 ? In other words, can I split a already...

    New HD packages X single dish in south Florida ?

    As you know, the 129 can't be used here in south Florida and I wonder if Dish will concentrate all hd channels on 110,119,118 anytime soon. I can't have a 2nd dish, no SE view, only SW. Does anybody know if a single dish can be used and if the new satellites will be viewed by by just one dish...

    Which HR20 do I get (returning customer) ?

    I'm planning to get back to D* next week and will try to get a decent deal on 2 HR20. I understand the HR20-100 is the new one, is it the one being offered now ? Has the HR20-100 more disk space than the 700 ? On the D* site there is no hint about which model is being shipped now. Thanks

    Any chance of new HD ch and international on one single dish?

    Does anybody know if D* has plans to move internationals to one of the new satellites and allowing the use of a single dish? I only want one international ch (Globo) but also want all the good stuff and the promised new HDs. 2 big dishes is not an option for me. Thanks Sergio

    HD channels with one dish in Miami ?

    I can see Dish is moving (adding) some internationals channels to the 118. Is there any chance they also move the HD channels only on the 61.5 to the 110 or 119/ That's the only way I could get all the HD channels from my balcony with no SE view. Thanks Sergio

    129 from Miami, is this now possible?

    Sorry if this question has already been posted but I wonder if the new dishes can make it possible now. I live in a condo with SW view but no SE at all, therefore the 61.5 is not an option. I want all the good stuff, including all HD channels and the Brazilian "Globo". Thanks Sergio

    Where are the international ch?

    If I get one of the new 5 LNB dish (slim?) can I get the Brazilian Globo which will start in January? How do I know where each channel is located? Thanks Sergio

    Can I pick the 148 from south Florida?

    I have a totally open view from my balcony to SW (high floor) but no way to see SE, therefore no 61.5. I need one foreign chanel (Globo) only available on 121,61.5 and 148. As I can see now Dish has no plans to have this ch on the 118.7, wich would be great. Thanks Sergio

    Dish solution for Miami,FL

    I just switched from D* to cable but although I'm very happy with the huge difference on picture quality my choice would still be Dish instead. I live in a high-rise building with a good SW view from the balcony but no way to view SE: 61.5 is therefore not an option. The natural choise would be...

    Can I have just the HD package and nothing else?

    I will have cable starting tomorrow since I can't watch the D* SD picture anymore. I would like to keep the HD package at 9.99 and no other "package". Is this possible? I don't want to call customer service without having this board opinion. Thanks Sergio

    Confused about dish types

    I am planning to move from D* to E* very soon because I simply can't watch D* in SD anymore (looks like a bad VHS tape). I would appreciate if you guys can tell me what kind of dish I will neeed considering the following: - I live in a condo in Miami and currently have a D* dish pointed to...

    Should I have any hope for better PQ?

    For those familiar with the new satellites to be launched soon, is there any chance that SD and HD picture can be improved ? Premium CH SD on my 73" looks terrible, even my free analog cable looks better. I am stuck with a 2 years plan and 2 HD-TIVO and that's why I don't move to Dish...

    All SD, HD and foreign a-la-carte with one single dish?

    Does the picture get even worse on weekends?

    I am about to cancel my Directv. On my 73" TV the SD picture is a joke. Worse than a bad VHS. I have free analog cable with basic channels in my building and believe it or not the picture is much better than D*. Today I couldn't believe how poor is the picture and the HD looked like a good SD...

    Is there any Directv mag?

    When I had Dish I used to subscribe to a monthly magazine with all the news and programming for the whole month. Is there anything like this for Directv? Thanks Sergio

    Directv to lease receivers, a smart move?

    With all the news about Directv starting to lease gear instead of selling it I was wondering if this wasn't just a smart way to get rid of the commitment to exchange old receivers by new MPEG4 ones. I own 2 HD-TIVO and expect soon to have them replaced by the new Directv HD DVR. With this...

    We want more HD channels!

    Dishnetwork is about to launch 11 new Ex-Voom channels. This time they are the good ones and not just the boring 10 they already have. What about Directv? Local channels in HD can be important for some but wasting 1500 satellite slots and not adding any good movie channel in HD seems to be a bad...

    Is the superDish now available nationwide?

    What is the status of the superDish as far as Florida coverage goes? Can I replace a Dish500 pointed SW and my Dish300 pointed to 61.5 by one single superdish? If yes, where is the superdish pointed to? The reason of my question is because I'm moving to a condo in Miami where the balcony has an...

    My 921 will be back to Costco tomorrow...

    Enough is enough. After having ALL the reported bugs with my 921, specially the zero recording and the locked aspect ratio and not trusting Dish anymore to fix the problems, my 921 will be returned to Costco. Time to test their return policy since I have the receiver for more than 6 months...

    Voom HD and dish 6000 problems...

    I got my Voom package today and realized that some channels have the picture distorted when the receiver is set at 720P. Changing to 1080I the picture was back to normal. My projector is native 720P and the PQ is a little better when the 6000 is at 720P as well. Anybody can confirm this...

    DishNet on a high rise building?

    I will be moving to Miami soon , to one of those 40+ floors building. I asked the realtor about cable/satellite availability and he told me that both Directv and DishNetwork are now available. My question is : How can I hook up my receivers to the dish? Obviously there is just one dish serving...
