    Will my receiver still get HD?

    Hey guys, I haven't been to the forums for a while as I haven't had satellite service in about a year due to financial problems. I've finally patched that up and about to reactivate my tv service through dish. Problem is I have a 811 receiver and I'm wondering if I can still use this for HD or...

    Will dish get WWE 24/7 channel?

    I'm really interested in this channel. I don't think it's possible due to the fact WWE 24/7 is a video on demand channel but is there any news of DISH getting this channel in the future?

    Well it's been 3 months.

    And I'm finally getting DISH back. We had some financial problems and DISH was one of the least priority of bills to pay off but my mother finally paid that bill after I agreed to pay the phone bill -_-. She sent a moneygram how long does that take anyways.

    A hurricane is coming, what about the dish?

    Should I take down the dish since a hurricane is coming here in NW florida? I mean I wouldn't want it to be a projectile flying around possibly hitting someones house. It survived Ivan last year but this is a much bigger hurricane. Think it should be good? It's a superdish mounted on a pole in...

    VOOM HD content:Should I do something or not.

    Just want your suggestion. With the new voom lineup looks like everyones saying at first all the content will be on 61.5 but will be mirrored on 148 later on. I've also heard rumours of them adding it in the future to 110. I'm using a Superdish and I'm not even positive I can get LOS for 61.5...

    Stupid Technical Question.

    Before you read NO I am NOT into hacking and NO I am not attempting to do anything illegal, I am asking because it's one of those questions that has been picking away at my brain. Dish network uses one way satellite dish antennas. Some of us don't have our phone lines plugged in or can't...

    If you had a choice:Satellite or Cable

    Just wondering about this. Obviously there are many places you just can't get Cable, some seem to choose satellite over cable due to price, some choose satellite due to portability. But if you had a choice what would you pick? I have choices for both so I picked satellite just because I like the...

    Anime Network

    I've heard of some states having Anime Network for their cable provider. Any plans for DISH to add this? I'm pretty sure directv has it. I'm dyeing for a 24/7 anime network.

    Satellite possible in the woods?

    My grandpa lives up in Tomhawk, Wisconsin. Most of you guys probably never heard of that area but it's wayyyy up north and it's a very small town. They don't even have a walmart there it's just fishing stores with bait and some small craft places. We go up there once a year for like a month and...

    Florida: Bigger DISH why?

    Every provider I've called and talked to has told me about the size of there dishes, it isn't until I state I live in Florida that they will install a bigger DISH. I remember when we ordered Dish network they gave us the superdish and I was thinking "what the hell why can't we have one of those...

    Will the phone lines ever be enforced?

    I read another thread here (was closed due to piracy) and although i'm not supporting of piracy the question the person brought up was interesting relating to phone lines. Will DISH ever enforce (or any other DBS provider) that you HAVE to have a phone line connected? I myself don't have a phone...

    Would I be an idiot to signup?

    Or is voom still kicking? Everytime I bring it up anywhere else people keep saying "Voom is dead". I really want the HDTV channels but I don't know if I should risk it for less channels, and the possibility that voom will be gone. I want to take advantage of the promotion they have, i've also...

    Someone shot my dish with paintballs

    Someone shot my superdish in my backyard with paintballs. My brother and I both have paintball guns but he denies shooting it in the backyard. I know he has some enemys that he paintballs with and I'm guessing maybe they did it because they know I'm a hdtv freak. I don't think it's effecting...

    Should I stick to satellite?

    It seems that my cable provider has been growing and is now offering HDTV in my area. We had digital cable about 3 years ago and I wasn't too impressed with the picture. We have COX Communications here, they like to stereotype and exaggerate how "bad" satellite is. The picture on dish looks good...

    Considering Voom.

    I'm so tired of Dish Network and their overcompressing and lack of HD channels. Their tech support is a joke. I really want to switch providers but I don't want to go to directv. The only thing that is holding me back is the fact that voom requires you to have a phone line in every receiver (we...

    DBS vs Cband/Ku

    DBS vs Cband/Ku input please I'm not very new to the satellite scene as I've only had dish network for about a year. I am originally from Chicago and we had cable service there the whole time I lived there. My grandpa (passed away now) was a rich man and was pretty much into technology. He had...

    105 Satellite

    Whats the deal with this satellite? I heard there were some problems relating to it and that a new satellite would be taking over the 105 orbit soon? I'm pretty sure I use this as on one of my tv's it says "You have succesfully pointed to 105 degree satellite" or something like that. Using a...

    Is this even legal?!

    I received a strange call from COX Communications the other day stating that they had updated their policys and I failed to give them notification of my decision. I really wasn't sure what they were talking about but I have cable modem through cox with a small business plan. I was called later...

    DVI or Component?

    I just got HDTV from dish bought a 811 receiver on ebay pretty cheap and I am so far very amazed by the picture on my 42" plasma edtv. The picture seems to vibrant and colorful and lifelike. No pixelation at all from where I sit and even closeup the picture looks very good, the best picture I...

    Some problems upgrading to HDTV receivers.

    I've been a customer of Dish Network for a year and a half now and I've been looking heavily into getting a HDTV receiver but there are a lot of restrictions preventing this. I suggested to my mother before we had satalite that we should get satalite as you could get more channels and such. I...
