    622 Atlanta signal strength concern

    I wanted Dish to come out and swing my 61.5 to 129 and see what signal strength they could get. Tech support says no can do without a service charge. I thought it would save everbody a lot of trouble. I'm not to keen on a $300 charge sitting on my credit card for 4 to 8 weeks waiting for a 622...

    622 Atlanta signal strength concern

    I plan on upgrading my 942 for a 622 on April 1st. However, I'm reading instances of 80% or less signal strength for 129. I live in a hole and cannot receive ota hd. My 110 and 119 are 100+. Would it be best to have 129 on a dish 500 rather than 110, 119 and 129 sharing the 1000 they would...

    Dish 942 And HDMI Switch Problems

    Octava 3X1. I already have a 15m run to display and when I added switch I used another 6 feet of HDMI cable. I'm wondering if the extra 6 feet is causing the dropout of audio.

    Dish 942 And HDMI Switch Problems

    I connected my Dish 942 to a HDMI switch and it is passing video but not audio. The video and audio are working when hooked up directly to display bypassing the switch. The switch has been tested and eliminated as the source of the problem. I'm guessing the 942 is the source of the problem...

    942 TV2 Output Poor Picture Quality

    I'm not sure it there is a channel 23 in Northeast Atlanta. I just know when I was on channel 71 the quality was exactly the same as 23. I checked with ConsumerReports regarding the Samsung DynaBlack series, and the 27" (mine is 24") rated fair using ant/cable input and good via s-video. So...

    942 TV2 Output Poor Picture Quality

    Ok, I moved from channel 71 to 23 with no improvement. I checked my connections and found no problems. I connected the tv2 via composite instead of rg6 and saw significant improvement. I contacted Dish about running composite if I supplied wall plates/cable etc, and they said only for $100.00...

    942 TV2 Output Poor Picture Quality

    The picture just looks grainy compared to my previous set up. I had a 510 connected to a 27" Samsung SD via composite or component, can't remember. I moved the 510 to another tv, and replaced the 27" Sammy with a 24" flatscreen Sammy SD. When I connected the 942 TV2 via coaxial I noticed a...

    Lease a 942 ? Existing Sub

    No, I did not threaten to leave. I did tell them that I thought it was ridiculus to be able to lease my 811 from them, but have to deal with with an unknown retailer in order to get the 942.

    Lease a 942 ? Existing Sub

    I'm an existing cutomer and got the lease deal today. It took about 15 minutes of negotiating. They are mailing me the receiver and installing on Memorial day. It may have helped that I have been with them for nine years, never missed a payment, and spend $120+ a month.

    Local HD offered in Atlanta

    Ok, I'm the fool. As suggested, I spoke with the HD eligibility dept(1-800-263-0028). They apologized for the incorrect information I received from three different CSR's. Looks like I will have until this summer for local HD. And all this time I thought it was just the E* reps who were idiots.

    I just called D* for the third time and got the same response. They assured me that I would receive ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX in HD via my local networks. I confirmed that the HD feeds are not from NY/LA.

    I'm currently an E* customer(8yrs) and looking to switch to D*. I called D* and they offered me the four major Atlanta networks locally in HD. I thought they would not be available until summer 05. I called back later just to make sure it was true, and they confirmed the information I was told...
