    So are you keeping Platinum HD after June 3rd?

    From reading above: - HD is now free (and I'm grandfathered -- 24 month commitment) - My $10 HD subscription is now switched to a $10 platinum which I can drop if I pay the $5 drop fee -- brilliant since I've only been a subscriber for 1 month. Is there a list of what channels are in...

    VIP722K DVR -- failing to record programs

    Maybe someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong here. I have a brand new VIP722K, only had Dish service for 1 month. It's happened previously but it was no biggie as it just failed to record Glee for the girlfriend ;-) But this weekend it failed to record the FA Cup Final on Fox Soccer...

    "ground block" would be the magic word -- indeed. something like this looks to be what I need: Omni II Box Drop Enclosure | Telecrafter | B6GY So if I am parsing what you said above correctly, I can expect the Dish installer to provide the ground block. I just need to provide an enclosure/box.

    Potential new Dish user -- price and install questions

    Thanks for the diplexer info. ... is there such a thing as a coax demark box? Right now the wire from the cable company (no service) just comes down off the pole and straight thru the wall in the house. What I was hoping to do was to mount a waterproof box on the outside wall of the...

    Potential new Dish user -- price and install questions

    Ok. I'll call Dishstore. Are they going to be helpful in answering install questions or is it all outsourced of their control? Regarding the SD TV. So is it a separate COAX output from the 722 to the 2nd SD TV or is the SD TV fed from the same signal (via splitter?) When I did my...
