    921 Trade in/Upgrade

    OK, please don't roast me, but I still am using my 921 and would like to go ahead and upgrade to a 722. Can somebody tell me what offer I should hold out for from from Dish? Do I still have to give them my $1000 unit that I own? Can I use the 921 on another set if they let me keep it, etc...

    Over the Air Tuner on 211

    Not sure I understand your question...what do you mean, "off the side of the antenna?" I am using a radio shack 6 foot antenna in my attic and the signal strangth is great. Just the FOX signal keep pixelating when run through the 211. Very frustrating.

    Will my signal be better if I run four clean runs? Will my signal be better if I run four clean runs? In other words, is it worth the effort or should I just live with the current setup that uses the dp44 switch? thanks

    Question on Dish 500 Quad LNB

    Just had my 921 installed and they put in a dp44 switch instead of running two of the four lines straight from the LNB to the 921. My question is, is my signal quality degraded since it is going through the switch? Since I only have 3 receivers, 301, 501 and the 921, why couldn't I just run...
