    When Will Dish Give Us Network Hdtv??

    Okay, try this if you want to see if you can get local OTA's. A channel master 4228 (an 8 bow tie antenna, big square thing looks nothing like your typical tv antenna) with a ChannelMaster 7778 preamp (mast mounted). This is a UHF antenna but almost all DTV stations are in the UHF range. I...

    Too Much $$$ to upgrade, going to DISH

    I just got my 942 HDDVR. I am leasing. It costed me $250 with no monthly payment for the lease because I got the Americas All package. That sounded to me like a good deal, especially since the 942 apparently is no MPEG4 compatible. I think it will be a long time before I have to change to...

    Bu-Buy voOm, hello Mr. 942

    I just got my 942 two days ago. My OTA locals do not have a guide, but I don't think I subscribe to analog locals, whatever that means. I'm not sure how sensitive the OTA tuner is. I did notice last night that one of the OTA channels that I always get with no problem was cutting out on the...

    942 Lease

    I'm a new customer and I "leased" the 942 for $250, one time payment. They do not charge a monthly fee. I did get the Americas all or whatever pack, though. Maybe that is why there is no fee. Anyway, so I paid $250 one time and got the 942. I guess i do have to give it back when I'm...

    The 942 is HERE!

    Just ordered dishnetwork America's everything with 942 reciever and HD pak of course. Hope this works well. I still can't understand why the largest nationwide satellite providers (directv and dishnetwork) do not have more HDTV stations. On voom there is cinemax HD, The Movie channel HD...

    The 942 is HERE!

    Okay, so its alright to go ahead and get the 942 now. What is your opinion as to the HD of directv and dishnetwork. The directv peolple told me on the phone that the dish network HD "is not really HD." I don't know what this means, probably just something to make me get directv instead. Also...

    The 942 is HERE!

    I'm a voom customer and have to change satellite companies because voom is shutting down. I'm conisidering dish network and the 942. As far as HD goes the only difference it looks like is that Dish has TNT HD and directv has UHD. My question is when they switch to MPEG 4, will the 942 still...

    The 942 is HERE!

    My question is will the current recievers ie the 942 still work when they switch to MPEG 4 encoding? I understand they will start this in a few months.

    Super-DMA is being released!

    For most digital channels (which most are UHF) it would probably be better to get a UHF only antenna like the CM4228 than a big VHF UHF combo. THey are smaller and easier to install too. You might also need a CM7777 preamp for the weak signals as well.
