    0 signal on 1 of 4 lines: cause?

    I just recently did a self install of a new system with a phase 3 dish. I have one R15 hooked to two of the outputs and a D11 hooked to a third. Everything has been working fine for over a week. I went to move the D11 tonight and the 4th line was totally dead, zero signal strength (I get...

    Song title, artist, etc on screen with XM?

    I just activated my D* service a couple of days ago. I have an R15 and a D11 and I'm not seeing any song information with either receiver. The D11 is just a black screen and the R15 has a silhouette of a guy playing the saxophone (that doesn't appear to move BTW). The only way I've been able...

    SD on HD chanels shows small picture on 4:3 TV?

    I just got the 6412 and I'm wondering if this is normal: I've got a 4:3 HD Ready TV. When I'm watching an HD channel that's broadcasting a SD signal (locals mostly) I get a smaller picture inside the full screen. Is this normal? I tried different settings for the 4:3 pass-through but...

    Dish DVR vs. Comcast DVR

    It looks like I'll be temporarily moving from Dish to Comcast while on an extended business assignment. How does the Comcast DVR service (with the latest box 6412?) compare to the Dish DVR service (721/921)? What am I going to miss, what Comcast feature will I love? One thing that...

    Temporary Dish disconect or cancel?

    I just found out today that I may have to take a temporary job assignment in another state. My employer would be putting me up in temporary housing so I wouldn't need dish service for that time. I've been told it could last anywhere from 4-8 months. I should find out in a week or two if I'm...

    942 2-coax install question

    I'm thinking about replacing my 921 with a 942 and I have an install question. At the moment I don't have OTA on my 921 because I don't have an antenna, but I want to add one. So, right now I've got a DishPro 500 with two RG6 runs to a DP34 switch. From the switch I have 2 RG6 that run to...

    Why can't they just port 942 software to 921?

    Maybe this has already been addressed, but why can't they just port the obviously superior 942 software over to the 921? (removing the multi-room capabilities of course). It make no sense for a company to maintain the large number of software baselines that E* does.

    How does 2yr commitment work?

    Let's say I sign up today and get an R10 receiver and sign up under the 2yr commitment. Then the R15 comes out next month and I get one of those. When I add it to my account do I agree to an additional 2 yr commitment (bringing my total to 3 yr + 11 months), or does it just bump back...

    Which dish?

    I'm probably going to be moving from E* to D* in the next few weeks and wanted to know which dish I should get. Is there anything in the total choice plus package that you can't get with the single 18" dish? If so is there a list somewhere that shows which channels (including which locals and...

    New DVR vs Tivo DVR?

    I've read a bunch of the posts here and did some searching but I still can't figure this out, sorry. I've read that D* is coming out with a new DVR system that isn't a TiVo, is this correct? If so is it out now? Is it the model offered on the D* web site for free with a $100 rebate? What...
