    942 --> 622 upgrade woes...

    Just to start, this isn't a complaint about hardware at all... it's a complaint about DISH service... Tuesday 5/31/06: DISH calls me 3x in the morning. I get the third call around lunchtime while I'm at work. They want to upgrade my 942 to a 622 and my DISH 500 to a DISH 1000 so I can...

    OK Got my 942 Now the Questions about Setup

    I'm not running the coax direct though. I'm running it into the wall and I'm not getting anything back on the TV2. I have a feeling that there's a disconnect somewhere in the wiring and seeing as I'm in an apartment, there may not be a good way to fix it.

    942 no audio

    I run my sound out through the optical but I will say this: I think the HDMI signal out of the port on the 942 is a little weak. When I first hooked this box up using HDMI I wasn't all that impressed with the PQ. Today I bought a DVD Player with 1080i up conversion and it requires HDMI to use...

    OK Got my 942 Now the Questions about Setup

    I've been trying to get that to work for a few days and I'm getting nothing on the other Coax lines. Since I'm in an apartment, is there a way to test whether or not the lines are actually even connected, like using a continuity tester or something?

    So what hardware do I need for this setup?

    Cool. I might give that a shot. Thanks for the input. I'd love to get this knocked out as easily as possible.

    So what hardware do I need for this setup?

    When you say local dealers, you mean stores like Fry's Electronics, radio shack, etc? I thought they'd still go through Dish for the install and Dish said no.

    So what hardware do I need for this setup?

    Dish won't come out and do my install so I'm going to purchase a Dish and whatever else I need to set it up myself. Here's what I want to do: I have 1 HD TV and 2 regular TVs (1 is a tuner on1 of my PCs). I want to get a dual tuner HD DVR (942) for the primary TV and at least 2 more single...

    DISH Won't do install...

    I can tell you that this has been a hassle since day 1. This will be my last apartment, for sure. Anyway, I may have found a way to avoid the neighbor's yard all together by attaching a 24 inch pole (parallel to the ground or on an angle, whatever is best for support) one of the columns on...

    DISH Won't do install...

    We already have permission from the complex to install in yards, balconies and the like. It was DISH that brought up the need to dig. My neighbor is using the cement bucket technique herself, lol. The wires run across the top of the fence or under the fence. They mow their own lawns so...

    DISH Won't do install...

    Hey guys, I need a little advice on what to do at this point. Here's the situation: I live in an apartment complex and I don't have a southern exposure for my balcony, however my neighbor below me has a yard and she also has a satellite dish in it pointing south over the top of the building...
