    I wanna cancel my HD package BUT

    Dish CSR says I HAVE to return my leased 811. I don't want to, seeing that I have invested in a Silver Sensor and can get local HD programming in Dallas. I would need the 811 as a receiver w/ Silver Sensor to hook up to my TV to watch HD. To me, the $10/month is not worth the HD "Programming"...

    510 DVR audio question

    if the DVR records something originally broadcast w/ DD or 5.1 audio, does it playback with the same audio? Mine doesn't seem to (I get reg stereo) and maybe I'm doing something wrong. Pls advise and forgive if this has already been addressed.

    Guys, sorry for my ignorance. Can a Silver Sensor be simply plugged into a HD Ready TV (like a SharpVison 55") and receive locals w/o having to use any type of HD receiver?

    811...worth it?

    Finally got the 811 installed. I have to admit, the pic is awesome but I am concerned that the $99 and $10/month for programming was worth the whopping 4 channels in the HD Pack. How many times can one watch Jefferson Starship and polar bears? Yes, there is HBO and SHO and the HD-PPV, but...
