    Grounding

    ..outside of having DOUBLE the lines coming from your dish to ground (it may, or may not be a problem for you....my D* installer was one of the lazy ones), you have many other options to protect your equipment.

    Can you speak "Indian?"

    ...well it finally happened. DirecTV has outsourced their "Entertainment Consultants" to India. At least on the off-hours from my experience. I called this morning (7am EST) and got a person with an obvious heavy Indian accent. It was so difficult to understand her, and she repeated her...

    Signed up w/ E* from D*.....

    Yes, WeeJavaDude, I can stretch...however, it seems back a**wards. I thought that all true HD content (except for older upconverted material) were broadcast in 16:9 format. With D*, all I had to do is change between formats 4:3 (normal SD and cropped sides HD) to 16:9 (side bars SD and letterbox...

    522...confused now, did I miss something?

    Yes...David.. It is dumb. So...this issue should be included with the "single mode" asterisk on the Features info on the 522 (thought that was only for PIP)? One tuner for the live stuff, one tuner for the dvr.....how simple could that be?

    522...confused now, did I miss something?

    ....I just got the 522, and according to DISH, I can NOT record a program and watch live TV on the same TV. Then, I was told with 522's two tuners that one goes with TV1, and other to TV2. What! I thought the whole point was that I could watch/record on the same TV with the two tuners, and...

    Signed up w/ E* from D*.....

    Well...the install went okay (actually helped the guy out with a lot of stuff....a happy installer is a motivated one). I now have a problem with the 811 and my Mits (a 4:3 HDTV -VS60805-). Despite the format choice in the 811 menu (16:9, 4x3#1, 4x3#2), I still get bars on the sides and the...

    Stick with cable, or get dish network?

    From what I understand, you would be paying $5 for the DVR menu content via sat (or is it the fact that it has two tuners, thus using two LNBs)....but not for the capibility to run a second line to another TV. Does that make sense?

    lurch, According to DISH's website: "On-screen DVR command menus are seamlessly integrated with DISH Network's 9-day electronic program guide to make selecting and recording standard and high definition programming quick and easy." I would think that program guide would have menu of the...

    Signed up w/ E* from D*.....

    ....install is tomorrow morning (2/12). I was with DirecTV for 5 years, and the current DISH promo was too hard to pass up with all new equipment: the 811 and the 522 (with features not offered w/D*). My question is this: Is there anyone out there that made the jump to Dish from DirecTV and...
