    Dish 500 & Pro Twin LNB

    Took my 510 on a one month out of town trip. Have a Dish 500 and a Pro twin LNB. I have no trouble picking up the 119 satellite at 85% but can't seem to get 110 at all. I was told the PRO twin LNB has a switch built in so I just connected my 510 directly to the #1 output. There are a lot of...

    Dish 500 & 110/119

    I brought my 510 on a road trip for a month and have a quick question. I have it hooked to a DishPro Twin and I can only pick up the 119 satellite. There are a lot of trees but I am getting 85% on the 119 satellite. I was told the switch was built in to the Twin and I should be able to pickup...

    811 and Dish SD PVR hooked up to one TV?

    Two Coax Bobby makes a good point. You have to have two coax cables. I do. If the contractor is there pulling one cable I have found that they have no problem running the second. Especially if it is going to the same place. If they squawk, $10.00 should satisfy them.

    811 and Dish SD PVR hooked up to one TV?

    Me Too I have a 510 and a 811 hooked up to one TV. With only five channels of HD to record and half of them not showing something I wish to record and the other half being played elsewhere in SD could see no reason to spend that much money. The previous poster was exactly correct just hook them...

    811 & OTA HD Picture

    I put in an OTA antenna on my 811 and picked up my local digital CBS station at >85% signal strength. My question is this. The HD programs on in prime time just don't look that impressive as compared to the satellite stuff (HDNet, DISCHD etc.). Anybody else notice this? :cool:

    How many PVR's on DHP

    Well CSR Roulette hits again. I am on DHP and am wondering how many PVR's I can have. One CSR says only one, while another says two. I think the discrepency lies in the fact if you lease or buy the PVR. I am willing to buy the PVR, but don't want to if they won't activate it. Which is the...

    510 & 811

    No, my intentions are to run the output of the 811 to the DVI input of my Sony Plasma, and the output of the 510 to the S-Video input of the same Sony Plasma. They are both are on different video inputs on the Plasma. Would that be a problem? Thanks for the input on the Harmony !!

    510 & 811

    Thanks so much for the info. I had a feeling it would'nt be a problem. Been reading some things about this Harmony Remote, thinking about buying it so that I only havr to deal with one remote. It's a little pricy (~ $120.00) but it seems to work well for everyone, including people with an 811 &...

    811 - Curious of Picture

    Thanks for the good info. I was begiining to wonder, I had assumed it would all be in 16x9. I have to be real careful about screen burn-in. Maybe as more people get HD it will all be in 16X9.

    811 - Curious of Picture

    I am on the waiting list for the 811. I am just curious of the HD picture. I have a Sony Plasma 42" with a 16 x 9 screen. When you watch HD movies and such, does it fill the screen or are there bars on top and bottom. And how about regular broadcast's? Thanks for any info.

    522, How many cables

    Thinking of getting a 522, here is my question. The place where I want to put it has one cable run from a SuperDish. Can I use a splitter on that cable and use all the functions of the 522, or do I have to run another cable?

    Does anybody who pre-ordered Superdish, got it installed?

    Waiting I'm in Statesboro GA. My first appointment was cancelled,but after I generated a CEO email they promised me Sat 1-24-03. I'm not real hopeful of that, but I'll wait and see. Really wish they would free up the 811's as my new plasma would love it. But we'll start with the dish first and...

    811 Cables?

    Thanks for the reply and the good info. It looks like it comes with all the cables except a DVI. Is that something that is unique to different brands or is it a standard cable? :D [/u][/i][/b]
