    Buying TVs online...

    I've been able to find some VERY good deals online lately. Has anyone ever done this? I just couldn't see not looking at the picture first, even though store feeds aren't the best either. Office Depot has a 46" Westinghouse for 899 right now. Any advice for buying online? Thx

    Budget Stores/HDTV shopping

    What are people's thoughts on shopping for TVs at discount stores, ie. Walmart. My budget is only probably 1000-1500 and would like something between 46-50". I know the general rule is you get what you pay for. A tv/home theater bundle would even be better.

    FoxSportsNet North in HD...

    Question... I live in SE WI and have Milwaukee locals using Dish Network. Currently, on my non HD TV, I receive Brewers games on an alternate channel when the games are being played. Otherwise FSN North is Minnesota programming. This year many Brewers games will be broadcast in HD, and FSN...

    New to HDTV....

    Hi all... Have a relative who's looking to subscribe to Dish HDTV. He's currently a Charter cable subscriber (We're in WI). Charter advertises that with their HD system, you'll get locals in HD (where available). Is that the same with DISH? We get Milwaukee locals with the local channel...

    625: Channels changing on their own...

    I know this was questioned before. I couldn't find it. I'm experiencing weirdness on my 625 where the channels change on their own. Anyone have an explanation or a fix? It's almost like I'm watching someone else's TV. I can see the numbers punching in and everything. My dog or daughter are...

    Video Stalling...

    I'm noticing quite a bit of video stalling lately. Where the audio keeps going but the video is skipping. It was raining pretty good at one point but it even kept doing it after it stopped. I did "bump" the dish the other day when I was mowing. I really didn't think I hit it that hard at all...

    How to Program remotes...

    How can I re-program my remotes for a different receiver? Or program a "1" remote to work with the box? The installers did not do this for me. I have both outputs of my 625 going to one tv. The "2" remote works but I want to use the "1" remote so I don't have problems with my other tvs.

    E Club Satellite Service Plan...

    I just got a bill for this. Called Dish and they said it's totally separate from the Dish Home Protection Plan, which I also signed up for. I don't remember signing up for the E Club thing. Is there any reason for paying for both? Or for that matter, either? Just wondering what you guys...

    625 DVR question...

    I have a 625 and currently I just have 1 coax going out to TV1. I have nothing going out to TV2. I recorded something using Dish Pass. I set it to record off of TV2 (just in case I was home and wanted to watch something else). Well, I checked and it's not showing up in the "My Recordings"...

    Dish Cable Box question...

    I just had an builder friend of mine come over to help with a wall fish. He's also a Dish sub and questioned why the metal box where all the wires from the dish was attached to the dish, which is on a pole in my lawn. He said his is in his house and out of the elements. Is this ok to have it...

    Install is complete (sort of)...

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone here for all the help they've given me. Being a lifelong cable subscriber, I'm VERY naive about the ins and outs of satellite systems and really appreciate the help. I've been disappointed with the installers so far in that both have been itchy about...

    Programming question...

    Well, I got Dish installed yesterday. Have some questions. 1) I live in southeastern Wisconsin and absolute NEED to have FoxSportsNet North (Brewer fan). I was told originally that if I got the 60 plus Locals package that FSNN would be available to me since Milwaukee is considered my "local"...

    Installation question...

    Getting installed today. I'm getting the 311 and 625. 3 rooms plus DVR in 2. Since I'm not going to be here I want to have an idea what's going to happen. I'm going to have the installer call me. We have 2 tvs upstairs that we watch the most (living room/bedroom). I'm assuming we can have the...

    PIP question...

    I'm getting Dish Network installed tomorrow. I'm getting 3 rooms plus DVR in two. I have Picture in Picture capabilities on one of my TVs. Will I still be able to use it? Currently I have it running thru the VCR for the 2nd tuner. Will the DVR act as another tuner? I probably won't be around...

    New Subscriber to Dish Network!

    Making the switch from analog cable. I'm excited but my wife isn't. Worried about the local channels. Even though we're closer to Madison, WI, we're getting the locals from Milwaukee. If we can pick up locals from Madison via "rabbit ears", will it work if I have the satellite on? We need to...
