    OK...obviously we can't back feed the 722 to the bedroom TV then because I don't want any cables drilled or ran to the bedroom TV. So...that means If I get the 722 with silver turbohd...and I have the 722 in single mode, I can record 2 TV shows at once, and watch something off the antennae...

    Upgrading to HD

    The wife and I talked...we discussed programming of using Classic Bronze and Turbo Bronze. Too much money for our taste. We decided we will probably just end up doing the Dish DVR advantage with only Turbo Silver along with the locals. I'd be giving up DIY and the wife would be giving up...

    Normal Signal Strength for 322?

Picture would be on and then get sat signal lost message. There almost was no good continous lock. It would be like 70...then boom...

    DB4 or Channel Master CM 3677 Ultra Hi-Crossfire

    Ok my question - why would the VHF 7 operate at such low kws? All the others are like way into the hundreds. Why or why not are they doing this at only 2kw? Im still sorta "wet behind the ears" on this particular thing. Would this mean I would need to get a "STAR TREK ANTENNA" antenna just to...

    Hi there! I have a Sony 40 inch HD tv.

    Dish painting

    I remember reading some where in here that you CAN paint your dish, just as long as it is non-gloss. I think I remember that it needs to be matte(? spelling) because if it is a gloss kinda paint, signal would "dance" all over the dish (for lack of better scenario explaining). I am SURE other...

    Pole Problems

    THAT alone for ME would warrant a call back to the dealer/installer who did your job for you. I would DEMAND the tech come out THAT day or the VERY NEXT DAY and fix his piss poor job of putting in the pole. Pole being rotated? Man he probably thought you were a idiot and just put in like 25...

    Future HD - Advice for Pole mounts

    Here in Mizzourah I believe the frostline is 30"..so I dug with a manual auger (like a motorized auger, but by hand twisting it circularly) down to 33 inches and used 75 pounds concrete filling it up to maybe 5 inches below grade, and then put dirt on top of it for a nice clean look. I also had...
