    HDTV

    Am looking to buy a LG 41 inch that supports a 1024x768 system,instead if a 1920x1080. They told me that Dish only supports the 1024x768,is this true? How much difference would I notice between the two on a plasma 3D.(good price on unit) If Dish only supports the 768,then thats all I would...

    Dish misinformation

    722 question

    On the problem of slow guide,it must also be some kind of problem with the 722 also,as a lot of the 722s have no problem with the new software. Lately,when mine is slow(only 1side),the early morning update fixes it.(so far only happens once every 2 weeks or so) Do any of you have a 3D TV and...

    NPS

    Dont understand why NPS,who has the most Sats to offer is pushing pizzas,as their web site(which is very helpful for C band)is 95 % with C band information. Just to check out the opposition I wanted to see what the pizzas had to offer,and its barely mentioned on the site. Maybe the site hasn't...

    After reading your board,am installing a new Norset 8115 LNB. When using the 90 degree waveguide that came with it ,I am not sure how to install the LNB as the ant in side the LNB is a completely different position than the one I am replacing.
