    Hopper PQ on locals.

    Maybe its just me but the picture quality on the local channels look a lot more pixelated on the hopper than my 622 did. Anyone else notice a difference? The other channels look a lot better IMO.

    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    I ordered this morning at 8:30 and at 11:10 CST they showed up. Straight off I am told that this is the first Hopper installation in Houston and that management will be showing up to see over the process. Also to bring the Duo-Node. This is new service for me but the house had Dish before...

    Hopper ordered! Not without issues.

    I ordered 2 Hoppers\2 Joeys and a Sling. Took 45 minutes to complete the order. My guy had to get a lot of help from the guy sitting next to him. Plus it didn't help that they tried to save me money by hooking me up with a different setup than the one i asked for. One interesting thing though...

    Achieving different local channels

    My parents are moving to the sticks (120miles away) but would like to keep their Houston local channels. Ideas anyone? Maybe I could find a friend in Houston that I could 'move' them to so their physical address would be here and then just pay someone cash to install the dish and cabling in...

    Just called local retailer for a hopper.....Scary! (Houston)

    I live in Houston, Tx and don't have any service yet as I just bought the place. I really wanted to get 2 hoppers and 2 joeys before the weekend so I took the advice of some of our posters here and called a dish supplied local retailer. Yikes! Talk about not knowing the product and pricing...

    Xbox 360 HD DVD drive to cost $200?

    DigiTimes is reporting that the Xbox 360's external HD DVD drive will retail for $200 and be available this Christmas. No doubt it will be out before the end of the year, but as much as we want to believe them, it doesn't seem possible that it could sell for so little. We will believe it when we...

    Disappointed in what I saw at Fry's (HD-DVD)

    So I run down to the local Fry's store to check out the new HD-DVD player and WOW was I disappointed. I'm guessing Fry's was disappointed too because they leave the display its connected to, on a demo feed instead of the HD-DVD player. I get the salesman to put in a DVD and he grabs TLS. As...
