    Comparing Hopper and Direct TV systems

    I have been with Dish for a while, when asked about the Hopper, I was told that I'd have to pay $300+installation+24mo contract. My main interest for going with hopper was streaming it to additional tvs without bulky boxes or wiring. I have 722 from Dish now, but I have stopped using it for...

    Contract period is over, $120 credit over next 12 months, worth it?

    my contract with dish is over. Dish sent a mail saying I can get $10 per month credit for next 12 months, if I extend it to 24 months. Not sure if I should extend it or just not bother about it. The only thing I am looking for at this point is another HD-dvr apart from the 722 I have. Any...

    San Francisco Local Q: Why isn't KQED available in HD yet?

    I am surprised that Dish hasn't put KQED in HD yet. Is it something to do with the feed KQED can give or a decision of Dish to air the HD? Anyone with info on this? Thanks.

    Any new tech being worked on that supports two HDTVs from one receiver?

    I love the fact that 722 supports two tvs that way I dont need to put in another receiver in the bedroom. However, it does not support HDTV. I was wondering if there is some new tech that supports that kind of requirement which uses the existing cable but supports the second HDTV.

    Getting basic HD with local programming

    I used to be Dish customer and have switched to comcast when Dish refused to give HD-DVR at a reasonable price. After couple of years of service with Comcast, I have downgraded myself to basic cable as I dont want all those channels. Of course, their basic line up sucks is an understatement...

    Is 622 more expensive to manufacture than the Moto 6412?

    I wonder how cable companies lease the similar equipment without any contract binding and still make money but Dish needs the upfront fees and comittment! I guess cable guys do charge more for the lease ($2) and probably more for the service. That I guess mostly to do with the local issues...
