My parents are looking to upgrade their old D* system to give them on-demand options. Does anyone know what receiver is needed? They only view SD, so no need for anything fancy. Also do we need to move their router to the TV location from the computer room or just run a new ethernet cable?

For anyone who has canceled Dish in the past, is there a special number that makes the whole process painless, or do I need to just take my chances with the regular number? I've heard some horror stories about cancellations going badly, and I'd rather avoid any sort of problems.

I'm going to be cancelling my Dish Network subscription next month, and I'm just wondering if they will send someone out to my house to collect anything? I know I have to send the leased receivers back, but will they take the dishes or just the LNB's? Just trying to figure out if I'm going...

Okay, I've had some minimal drift for the past year but I've never had anyone come out to correct it. I just checked to see if it's changed and it is now at -7 / -8 on all 3 of my satellite locations. On 2 of those sats I'm also showing a new entry that starts with the letter "o" I'm guessing...

I'm wondering if anyone here has an email address for someone "in the know" at Verizon with regards to Fios. I've felt like I've signed up for their contact list so many times and it's still been 2 years since they said we would be hooked up. All of the neighboring communities are hooked up...

Nothing is more aggravating than trying to figure out how Dish does their billing. I did the 3 months Starz/HBO freebie, so they did a whole bunch of changes/credits, which seemed much more cumbersome than it had to be. Because of the dates that they ran these credits, they ended up charging...

I just saw the thread about hard drive bargains, and I'm wondering, though, what kind of EHD specs I should be looking for if I want to upgrade my 211? Anyone who could give me any idea as to what the various sizes equate to in terms of recordable hours, as well as what kind of connections...

I think I've looked pretty thoroughly through Dish Networks' Sports packages, but could someone correct me if I'm wrong? It appears that the only way to get Fox Soccer Channel is through the 250 package or higher. D* offers it through their Sports Pack, but it doesn't look like Dish has this...

I'm really getting frustrated with the abbreviated guide info. I'm wondering if this is an E* problem or if this is the guide provider's problem (tribune, I think?). It is almost impossible to search for future recordings when the name of the movie/show has been drastically cut out. It's...

Okay I've been away from this site for awhile and I missed all of the new pricing arrangements that were announced. Could someone recap quickly what is going to happen in February? Currently this is how my bill breaks down for my set-up, which includes a 625 & 211. Dish DVR Advantage...

I'm just wondering why I'm not getting the Big 10 Network anymore? Did it move channels or something and I just can't find it? I currently have the 250 package and I live in Pennsylvania. According to the website I should have it, and I used to, but now I don't see it.

I just ordered a ViP 211 to upgrade my 811. I'm wondering if this is just a simple swap out or if there is anything else I need? I know I'll have to authorize the new receiver when I get it, but I didn't know if installing it is as simple as take the cables out of the 811 and reattach them to...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any clue as to why one of my DTV stations will not come in. Here are the stats from Antennaweb: I currently pull in ALL of these stations routinely at 75% to 95% except for WHYY-DT 12.1. I'm wondering why this would be? Channel 6.1 is broadcasting from the...

Has anyone seen anywhere a comparison of local HD OTA versus the HD locals that E* is offering, in terms of overall quality? A friend of mine just left Comcast and had to start getting his HD OTA, and the difference was noticeable. I'm upgrading to a 211 and I'm just wondering if having the...

I'm an E* sub, but my parents have been with DirecTV since the PrimeStar days, so I'm not to sure how things work with DirecTV. A few years back they purchased one of the RCA (TiVO) DVR's, but recently it has started giving up the ghost. They are looking to replace it, but it seems everywhere...

Does the extra receiver fee only apply to leased receivers? I'm going to upgrade my 811, but I was thinking that if I purchased the 211 that I may avoid the fee.

I just went to check MyAccount online with Dish and this is what was listed under the "a la carte" options: Is this list cumulative over the life of your account? The reason I ask is because I'm not getting HBO/SHOW for free right now, and I only have 2 receivers, so why would I have DHA...

I know the last round of deals expired in early August, but what are the new deals looking like? Specifically I'm looking to upgrade my 811 to the 211, and then switch over to DVR Advantage with my 625 (if the DVR Ad still exists). Can I still do this? And are there any freebies involved...

For those people who are experiencing the reboot problem on the 625 (and possibly those on the 622). I received the following email back from the CEO email address. I bolded the important part. Hopefully it will be sooner or later, but it's good to know I won't have to ship my receiver back.

Over the weekend we began noticing that our 625 was doing self-reboots at various times of the day. When the unit is on there are no problems at all, but I'm wondering if this is not a sign of an imminent failure? Anyone have any experience with phantom reboots on a 625?

Anyone know of someone who is trying to get rid of their Voom box? Or, at the very least, where I can get one for a reasonable price? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if the new Daylight Savings Time adjustments are going to mess with our DVR's? I know several articles I've read stated that without updates a lot of the TiVO units will be off by 1-hour (at least for 3 weeks) due to the new DST laws. I'm wondering if E* has addressed this, or...

When I signed my 18 month contract with Dish, I received 18 months of credits worth $10 each for DHPP. My question is how can I avoid having my bill go up $10 at the end of those 18 months? Can I just cancel the DHPP, or can I re-sign for 18 months and get another round of freebies? Any help...

From reading most of the posts here, it seems that a lot of people tend to suggest the FM modulators for connecting the Sirius radios in the cars. My wife and I are thinking about joining the Satellite radio game, and one of our cars has a cassette player in it still. Do all of the Sirius...

I'm looking to see if anyone knows where you can purchase a HD-DVR for DirecTV, and what the current model number is? My parents are looking to upgrade, but they don't want to lease, since they've owned all their receivers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
