    HDMI connection required?

    Show me a device or something that allows full 1080p over anything other than HDMI, & not 1080i. Then I'll consider, but as far as displaying 1080p without HDMI, using any but HDMI results in loss of 1080p. I would like to hear from you, rather than copy/paste from a website and point to...

    Cost to swap out SD DVR for HD DVR

    99$ for new HD-DVR, sometimes $199. I never had to have additional install, heck honestly nobody has ever asked for old recorders back after upgrade, only when they go out in which I have to send back faulty unit. I have 2 SD & 1DVR I haven't used in about year

    HDMI connection required?

HD TV broadcast is only at 1080i which works with the HDTV cables/Comp you are talking about. But to receive full HD/Blu-Ray you need HDMI connections & HDMI cable. Check...

    Stonecold, I've been with the company for almost 5 years. You said mrv was free at install if HD DVR & HD were present and only 25 for DECA. I recently moved in June and I already had an HD DVR, and got a free HD at install. I asked the installer if he could do then and was told no, that I would...

    The DISH Remote Access app in app store is free which has ability to watch live and recorded tv plus serve as remote control, I doubt dtv will charge for app but I would pay if they did. Interesting about the NOMAD, any idea when it might be released?
