    How much to add an HD receiver to a Two TV setup?

    I have one of the HD Dvrs that connects to two rooms (can't remember the number right now), but the 2nd set is SD. I know to add HD and DVR I'd need a second HD DVR receiver....but does anyone know how much it would cost to just add an HD Receiver? That way if I'm just watching a sporting event...

    True HD shows vs bad upconverts/stretch jobs..

    Last new question for today, I promise! I'm on a 722. I'm watching John and Kate Plus 8 on TLC HD, and the framerate is driving me nuts. Horizontal pans are choppy. When I pause it and hit forward so it does a 1/15th advance, it will appear progressive, but every now and then there will be...

    Possible to set timer for ALL new episodes, and a limited number of reruns?

    I'm brand new to Dish and satellite on a 722. For the weekday shows we like to record. like Heroes and House etc, I've set up my timers to record all New, and set the priority high, making sure to use up my OTA tuner first before the sat tuners. But for shows like John and Kate + 8, I'm a...

    Horizontal Video Shift/Judder on New 722...

    I just got my Dish installed yesterday, and so far I'm pretty happy. I'm seeing a strange video shift (which I think is only happening on HD channels). Specifically today I've seen it on ESPN HD. I'm on the west coast. On the Point Dish screen it says: Dish System: 500 Tuner Input: 1...

    Can you pull any video off an internal or external drive to a PC?

    I've been reading about transferring recordings to a PC for editing and saving them. I've read about how it's a Linux file system and people have figured out ways to read it on a PC. It seems the problem is that the .tsp files are encrypted (though some stuff I've read says they're not...

    Any tips before I sign up?

    I'm currently an OTA only user. I have a custom built HTPC that I use to record 3 OTA channels at once, but for the second time in the last year my hard drive has died on me. I'm tired of tearing the computer apart to replace the drive, and then setting Vista up all over again. Yuck! To be...

    OTA Antenna in a townhouse...

    So my fiancee and I just bought our first place, and I'm super excited to buy an HDTV set! The only problem is we bought a townhouse, so I can't just throw a big OTA antenna on the roof. I'm in Los Angeles, 20 miles from everything according to antennaweb. Right now the current owners have...
