    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I was on TurboHD Broze and now in Dish America with locals and I lost Disney HD. No SD for me. That's all my kids watch on TV. I hate the company. I understand pulling HD due to contract negotiations, but SD too?? Lame...

    DISH loses 4 more HD channels - 3 Return

    Those morons are not giving me Disney in SD either. I had TurboHD Bronze when I initially signed up and was getting both HD and SD. When I look in my account now, it says Dish America with locals-I never changed my plan. I get all other HD channels, but no Disney in SD either. I called them and...

    Newb Dish 811 two room HD possible or not

    I use modulator+diplexers to backfeed the HD signal from my family room into my bedroom upstairs. If course, I can only watch 1 channel on both the sets, but am the only one watching. Am either downstairs or upstairs. It works fine.

    Setup Advice Needed

    I finally got the diplexers I ordered on eBay and I hooked up everything like the picture I posted previously. In addition to that, I used a splitter to combine the signals from Dish receiver and Comcast(in the basement) and sent it to my BR. The Modulator is set to ch 118 in CTV mode. Now, the...

    Setup Advice Needed

    Yeah, I have time to try out different things. I just wanna make sure screwing around with the Modulator won't screw up my BR TV or any other electronic device connected to it. Yes, I already watch analog TV in my BR. How would you decide what's an unused channel from Comcast. When you...

    Setup Advice Needed

    LOL Gary! Yeah, I searched more and $25 seems to be a great price. I don't know why I got it so cheap. Here's the one I bought. It selling for $79.90 at parts express. Mine looks the same except where it says Clabs, mine says RadioShack. Other than that, it's the exact same thing. I have just...

    Setup Advice Needed

    I went to RadioShack to return the Wireless A/V Transmitter/Receiver and he said they have something called an Agile Modulator that lets me select the channel(tunable). He said they have a last piece in stock and it was $25. I came back and found out that it's mono :( I searched on eBay for...

    Setup Advice Needed

    Mike, Thanks for your advice and tip regarding word docs. I changed it to a gif now. I have some local channels on 3 and 4 on my Comcast cable feed. According to Gary, if there's anything that share the Modulated output channel then splitting/combining won't work. Do you want me to add...

    Setup Advice Needed

    I think there's some channels on both 3 AND 4 in my cable feed. Actually, it's not a big deal getting both Cable and Dish in my bedroom. The doc I provided for the setup for backfeeding-if it works, it'll save me a lot of time and effort. I'll worry about getting Cable and Dish later on when I...

    Setup Advice Needed

    The more I read about this setup, the more interesting it gets. I did searches here found out that the above can be done using 2 diplexers. I also read about "backfeeding" the output from the 811 back into the line from my Dish, so that I don't have to run a second cable from my 811 back into...

    Thanks Gary! This is definitely what am looking for. Now I wanna get more greedy and wanna do the following :D I'll put the RF Modulator next to my 811 and send the coax into my basement. Now in the basement, I have 2 coaxial cables-1 coming our from the RF Modulator and 1 coming from...

    <RANT>India-Pakistan Cricket Tournament on Dish-Excessive Pricing</RANT>

    I am utterly disappointed to see that the pricing for the current Cricket Tournament between India and Pakistan is set at $199! All the Indians that I know have been waiting for this for a long time and are utterly disappointed. India is playing Pakistan in Pakistan after a gap of 15 years...

    811 Software P262 Update Now Available!

    I see an annoyance with 811. I have Zee TV(Indian) and as soon as I switch to that channel, the box locks up(not everytime but frequently), but picture and voice are there. I can't use the remote anymore. I hit a button on the remote and it takes atleast 15 minutes to react to that command. If I...

    Sampling of Where the 811 Installs are Being Rescheduled

    The fact that pisses me off big time is that my neighbor who ordered(from a local retailer) 811 2 days after me already got his installed!! Maybe the local retailers are playing a "no stock" game when they are actually doing the installs for people who went to them directly?

    Sampling of Where the 811 Installs are Being Rescheduled

    I was originally scheduled for tomorrow(Dec 14th). I had to ask them about something and called Dish. They told me my install is rescheduled to Jan 2nd! They said the local installer is low on staff and that's all they could do. So, I asked them to cancel my order, at which point the rep said...
