I have two questions. After being without Dish locals for some time now, I'm ready to switch back. I have my old DP21 switches but no longer have the second dish I need for the locals in my area. My first question is about testing the DP21's. They're pretty old and have been sitting in a...

seems that one of my 301's had decided to start turning itself off at will. i came home yesterday to find it off... so i turned it back on... then woke up this morning and it was off again. i have a replay TV so i keep my 301's on all the time. i'm wondering if my power supply might be going...

I see the posts regarding what dish chans are going to be covering the Olympics (looks like 105, 129, 209, and 208 - plus local NBC affiliate) as well as the ch147 for the interactive thing. I also am able to find a schedule of the actual competitions themselves off of the torino website...

Possible Dish Convert I'm considering the posibility of switching over from Dish and had a few basic questions regarding pricing that I haven't been able to find on the companies website. I'm interested in DirecTivo, and I want 2 units (total... meaning I only want two receivers, but I'd...

this is the dumbest thing ever... i actually might end up switching just because of it but i'll cool down and decide later. so back in 04 i purchased a box set from radio shack. it had 2 301's and the dish in it. i paid around 200 bucks for it. part of the deal was a 20 month credit on my...

I'm moving and was taking down my sat equipment from the old house last night. When I was unscrewing one of the coax lines to the switch i ended up unscrewing the actuall fitting a bit. It didn't come out all the way... about half way before I realized what was happening. I went ahead and...

I figured since I'm a long time E* customer now I'd post this rant here since many of you might be in the same situation. I have cable internet. With Charter. I've had it for years now. Unfortunately there's no competition here in Oregon and so charter can charge whatever they want... and...

Kind of a basic question here but I was just currious. I'm thinking of actually downgrading from the 120 to the 60 as really I'd only be losing 3 chan's I would like to keep and for the 10 bucks savings each month it'll be worth it for me. Anyway... I was poking around the site looking at...

just thought it was funny... about a week or so ago my guide started showing for TBS a message something like "moving to chan 129 on August 10th" (this isn't the exact message... it's something like that though about how the chan is moving). anyway... it's in every time slot for TBS!! so you...

weird issue with my new 508. i've noticed that the first hour of recordings (so like the first 2 half-hour shows) have skips and pixelation in them... the 3rd show however and all shows after that seem to play without these skips or pixelation. any idea what the issue might be? could i have...

Granted... it's about DTV and not Dish, but still - makes you wonder how Dish will respond. As we all know, dish isn't (in general) at all kind to current subscribers when it comes to equipment upgrade deals (meaning they rarely have them... as far as i've seen anyway)...

sorry for the stupid question... but i see a link for "who's chatting" but can't for the life of me find any link to an actual chat room. i'm obviously missing it... can someone point it out to me?

is it safe to leave your dvr (in particular i have the 508) on all the time? by this i mean that during the day when i'm at work, if there's stuff i want to record during the week i would need to leave my unit on all day. this means it would likely be powered on roughly 15 hours a day (i'd...

I currently have two dishes... one for the main chans and one for locals. I'd love to be able to drop down to a single dish... but don't know if I can based on the sat's I need to pull. Will a super dish work for 61.5, 119, and 121? Thanks for the info gents. [edit] I should add - i'm...

i'm a dvr newbie and am wanting to jump in the ring... i think that the only difference between the 501 and the 508 is the HD size. is this correct? also... on either the 501 or the 508, there's no monthly fee right? lastly... is the guide on the 501 and 508 the same as on my 301 (i.e...

Mine just came in and I'm currious... do you use the ReplayTV guide for surfing, or your Dish guide. I'm a bit chan surfer... and the ReplayTV guide doesn't have the picture-in-picture thing that my 301 has. I like to be able to keep an eye on things if I'm browsing the guide... and it...

i'm on dish for most chans but am going to be switching over to cable for my locals (gets me a discount on my cable internet which i have and love). my question is... in my office, can i split the line intended for my cable modem and run one line to the modem and another to a WinTV card so i...

When attaching a compression fitting (i'm using Digicon DS6) i know i fold the braid back over the cable... but what about the foil. is that supposed to be folded back as well, or left in place, or removed entirely? Thanks for the clarification!

Just currious as to what has the better software... if you can even compare the two. I realize they aren't for the same service... but it was so long ago since I had DTV that I can't really recall what the 430's menu was like. Anyone know? is one faster than the other? have more options? etc.?

I had DTV some time ago but have long since been without. I'm currently toying with the idea of switching back but have no clue any more as to the receievers available. I have a DRD430 that I had when I had service before. Is this still a decent unit? Has something better come out that I...

...just out of curriosity this morning and see that I can now get two things from them that I can't get from DNet... 1) A single dish for normal chans and locals... 2) 6 bucks less a month. Now granted these aren't huge things at all, but it would be nice to have only a single dish...

I recently purchased a home that is currently under construction. The coax was run... but it terminated at the front of the house. It's a 3 story townhome and the direction my dishes need to point is toward the back of the house. I, therefore, got permission to run a couple lines of coax from...
