    Why use 311 instead of 381?

    I had to replace a 381 with a 311 the other day. It seems the 381 is a newer model and superior. Why continue with 311s then? I'm confused. The 381 has newer remotes and much more one the back end (mirrored TVs, audio our, DVI, svideo, optical). Unless I'm missing something, discontinue the...

    Are you having low signal trouble with the new 1.2 LNBs?

    Since moving from the 1.4w to the 1.2w, our office is struggling hard with signal strength. When we switched to the 1.4, my signal strength was about 2 points higher than the 1.2. Now we're back on 1.2 and I can barely get low to mid 70's on 110, 119 and 129 gets 44-51. Our whole office is...

    722k black and white picture

    A friend of mine out of state has a 722 (only 1 tv) and last night their picture went to black and white. I had them move RCA connector to TV2 and still b/w. They're getting a 722 shipped but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

    Will adding new satellites increase my channels??

    I have WA 110,119,129. Was wondering if I put up a 500 pointing to somewhere else, if it would add any channels or something I don't have now. Or does it not matter because the channels are dependent upon a package (120, 250 etc).

    Dish America

    What a rip off! Only $5.00 cheaper (intro price) and 1/2 the channels. I just looked it up because a customer of mine yesterday got the America pack and asked me which channels she gets. I pull out the channel list out of the kit and guess what??? NO AMERICA PACK LISTED!! Did I feel stupid. I...

    HEY DISH, got yer ears on???

    Ok, it's time for Dish (ok, DirecTV too) to have 4 channel recording. This 2 channel stuff is old. I had AT&T Uverse at one time and it used Dish for tv and could do 4 channel recording. Being able to record 2 or 3 channels while watching and pausing a 4th is great. I know, 2 receivers would...
