Thanks for the information. Of course, I may have a problem down the road if they offer programing on the 129, right?

Sorry, I live just north of Lansing MI. The problem was lack of signal strength, but the installer admitted that the 1000.2 was new, that they were not well trained in installing them yet, and he stated that there meters cannot work to find the signal on the 1000.2 yet thus he kept trying to...

I argued with a CSR last night for a couple hours about this. When I signed up for the DIU upgrade I was specifically told that I would not have to pay a receiver fee for the 622, and since we went from two receivers to one receiver that I would not have any receiver fees on my account. When...

I recently upgraded to the Dishing it up programing. It required switching out our preexisting superDish. Initially the installer was going to install a new Dish 1000.2. However, after several hours of not being able to get a strong enough signal he put in two Dish 500's and has one pointing...

Also, to add to this; One problem is that, like I said, when I run the TV through the SS (ie. not for DVD's) the center channel does not play, but instead comes through the TV speaker. A possible reason for this is that the TV has four inputs. 1, 2, 3 and digital (compenent plus RCA digital...

Not XBOX to 811? In order to have XBOX in HD quality (for those games in that format) don't I need to run it through the receiver? Is the DVI-HDMI going to give me a better picture than using the Compenent cables for 811-TV connection? Is it a noticible difference? I'll have to see if...

What is that for those of us less attuned to the lingo?

Okay, I need a little help to setup my equipment. Here is what I have: 32" JVC HDTV (HDMI; Cpnt; Svid; Digaudio and 3 RCA) Pioneer surround sound/DVD (NON progressive, only has RCA and Svid) E* HDTV 811. (I think DVI; Svid; Cpnt; RCA; Digaudio) Xbox (non 360) I currently have the...

For those of us who are less sofisticated, what is the difference between the models, beyond the price? Also, how many HD-DVD movies are out and about, either for rent or purchase? Also, I assume the upconverting will basically be similar to the current upconvertering DVD (non-HD) players, in...

Well, if I would have to pay to upgrade, despite only being a customer for what, three days, I suspect I'll wait until at least the new HD channels are up and running, or maybe until the HD promo ends in six months, assuming I would lose that if I upgrade. Also, I don't get the HD packages...

I'm confused (no surprise). I just received E* service for the first time on Sunday. I am leasing the 811 HD and a 322 (I think) for my two non-HD t.v's, and I have a Superdish, the 180 package and HD. I have premiums free for three months and HD for six. So, appearently, I can upgrade to...

Hi again, I have another question. I went with E* and was installed this weekend. So far I am pleased. However, I've got a couple of questions. I plan to go buy a silver sensor antenna for HDTV locals. However, do I need to hook the antenna upto the standard receiver as well to receive...

Well, tried again with an on-line chat with an E* rep. He said Dish1000 is not available in my area :( And therefore, I need two dishes, of course at an additional cost of $99. He did not say whether it just wasn't offered yet or if the D1000 would not work in my area. So, $99 plus $250 to...

I just tried talking to a rep again, and again it was a no go. They insist that I need a second dish. But, then again that was before the last post (thanks Van). So, If I order E* with HDTV and w/out locals I should get a Dish 1000? But, if I order locals I will get a Superdish which will...

Can a 1000 give me the HDTV and the local channels as well? Just asked a rep at E*. I was told no, I need a 61.5 Voom dish to get Voom :mad:

Who is VS?

Shouldn't E* know that about the Voom? I talked to several different people and they all said I needed a new dish. One guy even tried to see if I could get a free 61.5 dish for a local but I did not qualify and he was trying to tell me how to DIY for less. BTW, what is the Dish 1000? Is...

I spoke with a Comcast operator and they said only my local CBS and PBS are offered in HDTV through comcast. HD is important since that is why we spent all the cash on the new t.v. I know you can get locals in HD with an OTA antenna, but I am not sure how I would run a cable from the roof to...

Grrrrrrrrr. What is wrong? I'm not post any links and I cannot figure out what I am typing is causing this message?

If so, those are pretty good benefits that may make me stay with comcast. What other benefits are there to comcast over DN or DTV? Or Vice Versa? I'm having a heck of a time making a decision. BTW, I am in the Lansing Michigan broadcast area, zip 48820. Thanks very much for...

I'm currently with comcast cable and internet. I recently purchased an HD ready LCD tv and would like to take advantage of it so I've been strongly considering switching to Dish. However, for either DN or DTV you need a separate off-air antenna to get the locals in HDTV, right? Which...
