My move to D* Interesting.......I came back to Directv after being with Voom then Comcast then Dishnetwork. I was offered and received the NFL Sunday Ticket. I paid $199 for the first HR20 and $299 for the second HR20. I was at first "given" 2 HR21 but I insisted and finally received 2 HR20s...

HR-20 vs HR-21 How hard is it to get a HR-20? I was expecting 2 for my install on Saturday morning. I will call tomorrow and if it turns out that I will be getting 2 HR-21s, I might cancel the installation and stick with my Dish HDDVRs. Do they charge the same for the HR-20 and the HR-21. I am...

HR-20 vs HR-21 I am moving back to Directv (was with DTV from 2002-2005)as well after leaving them for the ill-fated but fantastic VOOM in 2005. I then went to Comcast for a year and have been the former leader of HD-TV: Dishnetwork for a year and a half. I must admit I will miss the VIP 622...

Directv vs Dishnetwork HD channel lists Thanks for the comparisons between Dish and Directv in terms of HD line-up. Although I love the Voom channels, I will be leaving Dish and going back to Directv (had them from 2002-2005 then went to ill-fated Voom) if Dish is unwilling or unable to match...

HDMI on 622

Dish or Directv Hi Jim, I think that it depends on your needs. I had Directv from 2002 through 2005 and switched to Voom (until they folded). Then I had a year of Comcast. I know what you mean about the blurry fuzzy analog stations with Cable. I have a VIP 622 HDDVR and love it. The HD...

Vip-622 As a relatively new Dish subscriber (I joined after the Comcast promotion ended), I have no experience with the 942. I started out with a 622 and a 211. The only HD STBs I can compare them to are the Motorola DCT-6412 from Comcast (actually had 2 of them) and the Motorola HD STB that I...

HDMI and the 622 Interesting ......one fine day after working earlier in the same day, my HDMI output stopped giving an image. I rebooted the box a couple of times but it still did not work. So I took it out and went with component output from the 622. Is rebooting what you mean by...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Upon further study, I think it has something to do with the line (from the antenna) feeding the downstairs TV/STB because now I notice that even on the TV (fed by the same antenna) I only get one of the 6 digital sub-channels for that local PBS station (I get...

Hi all, After on year with Comcast (after 3 years with D* and 1.5 months with Voom until they folded), I am happy to have joined Dish (so far) and wish I had done so when Voom went under. I have the VIP 622 and the VIP 211 and the HD platinum package. Ok finally my question: I have no trouble...

Tnthd & Espn2 Hd I have to really take my hat off to the folks in South Jersey and anywhere else that have been deprived of TNT HD. When I joined Comcast last year (on the Dish buyback promo after Voom went Doom), the fact that Comcast in Baltimore City had just added TNTHD made switching to...

DSL versus Comcast I feel your pain John & CF. Comcast only increases the speeds in area that already have FIOS. So here in Baltimore city which (unlike Baltimore county) Verizon does not seem pressed to bring in FIOS anytime soon we are stuck with 6mbps/384 or 8mbps/768kbps Comcast tiers until...

211 vs the 222 Thanks for the info tawhite! I must admit that a year with Comcast (after 3 years with Directv and 1 and a half months with Voom ) has left me clueless of satellite hardware. So Dish is actually simultaneously broadcasting MPEG-2 (211) and MPEG-4 (622)? Wayne...

222 Ok I am really confused. After a year with Comcast (dish buybak program following the demise of Voom). I have decided to go to Dishnetwork with the HD Platinum package. I have an installation date set for the 11th of May. Here's my point of confusion: I could have sworn that in addition...

Faster Internet Speeds Hey John, Long time no see! I have been hearing about these new speeds for a while. I know that they have initiated them in Reston VA and in some other select locations to combat (or try to combat) FIOS. Do you know when they will be wide spread (as in when they will...

Dct-6416 Interesting........do you know off hand how much they cost? I live about an hour from Cox territory in Northern VA, it would be worth a trip if they have any retail stores down there. Will Comcast allow the use of a non-Comcast-rented box? Thanks! Wayne

Uhd We got UHD (new channel 250) Thurs and get to keep INHD2 (channel 227). So I think it will be around for a while here in Baltimore. Wayne

Dct-6416 I have a Phase III (as well as the previous version) but they are both DCT-6412. Two of the differences between Phase III and the earlier version is the Phase III has HDMI output and coax output. I heard of the DCT-6416 even before the Phase III 6412 came out. I imagine that...

Dish buyback promos My deal when Voom folded was one year of Digital cable for $29.99 per month, a free (no monthly $14.95) DCT-6412 HD DVR (with HD of course) and $5 per month each for the premiums channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Stars, & the movie channel for a total of $25). Addtional...

Channel will be available soon I see that especially when going from SD to HD stations. The delay can be anywhere from 1 sec to what feels like 10 seconds but if you wait, the channels will appear. I did not know that it was specific to the Motorola DVRs (oh well). Other than the DCT-6412 is...

Hi All, Does anyone reading this forum know anything about FIOS status for central Marlyand? I hear that they are laying lines in Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, but what about Baltimore city and County? Has Verizon even started franchise negotiations with these municipalities (for TV). My...

Hd Pq Do all HD providers give out information on the "resolution' that they will be providing? If so how do I find out about what Comcast is using because I am not impressed with their HD quality. Does going down to 1280 just decrease the width of what is on the screen or does it decrease...

Could be.......they should have made it to Series in 2003 ...but for that disastrous inning.

HD Net and HDNet movies Hey HDTVTechno, First, congrats on the Whitesox! They deserved it! As a long suffering Red Sox fan (grew up in CT) , I know the thrill of ending an 86 or 87 year series drought. I will definitely be emailing Comcast on adding stations like HDNet...
