    HWS or H3? Upgrade now or wait 2 months?

    ive got a 622 and a 211, was in the process of working with dirt to do a HWS + Joey upgrade to replace my 622 + 211. I was wanting to complete the upgrade prior to 1/14 to avoid the increase in dvr fee from 12 to 15 for hopper installs after 1/14. I was all ready to schedule the install when...

    hopper and joey coax input/feed requirements ?

    quick question - from looking at the pics of the back of the hopper, does it only require a single RG6 coax line? it looks to only have a single input, rather than the 2 inputs that my 622 has. is this the same for the joey? It was always a pain having the diplexer and the 2 coax input...

    Details of another receiver/satellite upgrade...

    i'm helping my father move into the HD world with a new TV and an upgrade to his Dish service, so I thought I'd post the details of his deal for anyone else interested or in the process of doing the same. He currently has a 625 and a 322 (both SD receivers, both dual tuner) and he has the 2...

    Just wanted to let others know that the EA upgrades seem to be free for those currently with a 61.5/110/119 setup. I just completed a chat and was told the install would be completed at no charge to me and I do not have DHPP. I guess come Monday I'll start getting those few HD channels I've...

    HD Free For Life vs. $10/month HD200 package (not HD Platinum)

    Before I decide to contact Dish and do the HD Free for Life promo, I just want to confirm which channels, if any, I will lose compared to what I currently have w/ the $10/month HD package I have (and it isnt the platinum package). I've heard mention that a few HD channels aren't available w/...

    HD for Life for Existing Customers - Few quick clarifications...

    i logged into the online Dish account today and checked the HD for Life link. It says that I am able to receive HD for life for free if I provide a 24 month commitment, or option (2) says that I can do it for a one-time $99 fee. I just want to confirm that existing customers/subscribers are...

    PPV - Double Charge and overall bad experience

    here's the deal...a month or so ago I decided to get the UFC fight on PPV so I ordered it w/ my remote. The screen proceeded to tell me to change to another channel; 459 I believe. Well I tried but I didnt get that channel. I did a box reset, a check switch, a sat test and still couldnt get...

    DVR Viewing throughout entire home?

    My buddy recently told me that he just got a software upgrade to his DirecTV receiver that now allows him to view DVR content to any TV in his home, as long as the receiver at that TV is connected to his LAN. Sounds to me like the networked receivers are streaming content between each other...

    Quick ? - 1080i vs 720p output

    just a real quick poll or tech question. Are most people outputing 1080i or 720p from their HD receivers to their HD sets? I dont recall noticing a viewable difference when switching between the two. Has any technical tests been done to prove if one or the other provides a better picture to...

    Which of the HD packages will we have to subscribe to in order to get the new channels? A few months ago I dropped back to the AT200 w/ the HD Essentials Pack to save the extra $10/month. Will I be getting all of these new HD channels on this package? If someone could post an updated HD...

    211 & UHF....any way possible...

    I don't suppose anyone out there knows of any tricks to make the 211 operate with a Dish UHF remote, rather than the standard IR. I'm finishing up a new room in the basement that includes a wall mounted plasma with the 211 in an A/V closet and I'd really like to be able to keep the Dish style...

    HD Essentials Pack & HDNET ??

    I made the move to the Essentials pack this morning. It made perfect sense for me as I hardly ever watched any of the VOOM channels anymore (too many repeats and outdated events). The change on the guide only took a minute to update, however I've noticed one weird issue w/ HDNET. This channel...

    Currently have (1) 622 and (1) 211, both using the HD outputs to the local TVs. All rooms have home runs of single coax back to the equipment closet. I've already got the separator and diplexers at the 622 to backfeed the TV2 signal back to the equipment closet. Can I get this TV2...

    622 wakeup issue - what gives?

    Over the last 3-4 weeks I've noticed that my fairly new (about 4 months old) 622 is having some real issues. When I try to turn on my TV in the mornings or after a decent amount of downtime the 622 has a major problem coming out of the standby mode. The screen will go to "Please Wait" w/ the...
