    How can this be?? Install Problem

    I took this (see below) from another messageboard dedicated to horror film fans. The topic is Monsters HD. Now... I'm trying to get more info from the poster, but as of right now I can't seem to understand what an attic has to do with the install? My rather small and cramped attic is...

    Why won't they ship?

    I currently have an 811 and a 211 in my home. I just took the bait for the Dish n it Up offer of 149.00 with a one time credit of 100.00 for a 622 DVR. However, after requesting that Dish just ship me the 622 and I’ll ship the 811 back to them ( I did this with a 811 to 211 last year) I’m told...

    Line of sight question + Transponders

    I have a Dish 500 looking at the 61.5 and for the past 2 days Ive been losing the singal on a regular basis. My question is this. When I do a point dish I'm getting 40-50% on transponders 7 & 15. Now if I check a transponder that's not used by the 61.5's (Voom pack) such as 14 I'm getting a 70%...

    Muddy black levels - Bad signal or me?

    I've had Dish since last June and have been totally happy with everything including the HD line up. As of recently Around Feb 1st I noticed that the black levels are off considerably.

    Getting angry! Anyone else get the runaround?

    I originally scheduled my install for 6/11. However, I called Dish back on Tuesday, spoke to a CSR and asked if they did "Sunday" installs. She said yes, and I asked if I could push the install up to Sunday 6/5. "Sure NO problem we have that date open." Fine... we went through the motions and...

    811 Questions before I take the plunge

    I've searched a few post and found some answers but they were from early 04, so this question may be relevant. OK... Since the Comcast/Time Warner acquisition of Adelphia I've decided to jump onto the Dish Bandwagon. Mainly because of the HD content & Monsters HD. So, I'm getting the 811 and...
