Can anyone please confirm 100% that connecting the ethernet port on a 622/722 will avoid the montly phone line fee? Every time I call the idiots at dish to ask this question I get the run-around (expected I guess). All i want to do is upgrade to a 622/722 w/o montly phone fees... More...

I have had my dish 721 receiver for several years now (picked it up off fleabay) with few problems (I love the dvr). I have whatever dish/lnb setup came bundled with the 721. I think its time to take the step to HD, as I’m sick of watching this SD programming on my hdtv and the 721 is acting...

Whelp, I won an ebay auction for a brand new 721 package that included the pro twin, mounting hardware, cables, remote, card, etc. I hope it really is "new". $200 couldn't be beat since just the recievers are going for a lot more than that. Thanks for the help! Wayne

Yep, all three showed up at the same time about ~2 days after I initially posted them. It made me look like a complete tool :)

Isn't the 522 the system that you need a phone line or get charged an extra $5 lease? I don't have a phone line (cell only) so thats not real desirable. I'm still interested in thoughts/ideas though, as I'll be hunting for deals over the next couple weeks. Thanks! Wayne

E* stated something to the effect that I qualify for all locals, with only one strange additional channel that I need a second dish for, so that sounds good! Okay, so to summarize. If I do a complete self-install I can pick up any pvr receiver (such as a 508 or 721) off ebay (that doesn’t...

Well, thats easy. I'm in the Detroit suburbs. I was not aware that location mattered (probably obvious since its my first post), but I typically learn quick (an engineering degree isn't totally worthless). I have read about the need to sometimes have 2 dishes in order to also pick up locals...

Interesting. I'll have to look into this some more. I have an older Directv Sony dish in the closet that was on my roof when I bought the house. It has 2 coax outputs on it, but I'm not sure its a dual lnb and probably wouldn't work with E* anyway (see attached picture). I found a bunch of...

Sorry, but this was the least obtrusive place I could find to test my act. I've tried posting 4 times now and none have showed up. Testing again...

Hey all. I’m a long time lurker and am now going to make the move to Dish from cable. I can’t stand all the fees that Comcast gives me and the quality of all non-hd compressed video is horrible on my big tv. I have a couple questions in regard to my new dish setup. I have already done a lot...
