A friend recently was upgraded to HR-23 (It's a lease, but D* is crediting her bill every month for the lease fee), and D* took her old leased box back. She has decided they don't want to pay the $10 for HD, and wants to have SD only. Directv told her she would need to send the box back, and...

Starting today, any program I try to watch on my Sony CRT from a 722 that is on an HD channel, or that was recorded on DVR on an HD channel, is skipping. The picture continually freezes and jumps, but the audio is constant. If you change channels to the non-HD equivalent, it is fine. What is...

Hi guys, I hope this is a simple question... I'm a Dish Network Satguy who is not too familiar with the D* equipment. I tried to search the forums for an answer, but found most posts too technical for a newb like me. I'm trying to help a friend add a 3rd receiver to his 5 lnb swm dish...

Sorry if anyone else posted this, but when I was on the Dish Cust. Service website, I noticed a small link to "2008 changes", which has a message from the Dish Executive Dept., links to a FAQ section (text copied below), and a few "summary" diagrams, including the $10 "Dish HD Essentials"...

Having Dish installed (722) on Monday (through Dishstore.net), and they asked about having the installer put up an OTA antenna for $50. He gave me the model no. of winegard antenna (GS1100), but I thought he also said I could get "silver sensar" for this same price (is that a different model?)...

Curious if anyone has tried the broadband internet access over power lines. It is newly available to me in Cincinnati and I'm thinking about it. Starting price is $19.99/mo with no contract; speed is only 500k/s (or .5 Mbps, which is about 10 times max dial up speed, but less than DSL speeds...

I purchased 2 voom boxes on ebay for my 2 HD monitors--one is widescreen and the other is Sony Wega (not widescreen). OTA channels in HD appear in 16x9 format; the channels in SD, however, appear in 4x3 format (which I know should be the case), but the TV or Voom box is still compressing the...

Microcenter is advertising in their circular a rebate ($300?) on any HDTV over 30" if you sign up for Voom at the same time (I believe with $1 install). I don't have the ad in front of me, but effective dates for promotion was at least through May. I could not find anything on microcenter web...
