My daughters are trying to get rid of Directv to save money, and I thought Sling may be part of the solution. 1) Since they have 2 TV's, would they need 2 devices to stream Sling(Roku stick, etc?). 2) If they wanted to stream 2 different things at the same time, would they need 2 Sling...

I've been trying to sell my old 811 receiver on Craigslist and a local HT forum with no luck. Is there just no demand for it anymore? I've got the box, manual, and 2 working remotes. I've had a couple people respond, asking about what card is in it. When I tell them it never came with one, I...

Since I no longer have Dish, I want to sell an 811 receiver that's been packed away. But I have no idea what it's worth or what to ask. What do you guys think? It can only be used to pick up OTA programming( if you're a Dish customer) is that right? Thanks.

I want to be able to watch an OTA channel, while recording a different OTA channel. Do I need a splitter in the mix to do this? The setup is as follows: 32" analog TV Zinwell ZAT-970 digital converter box VCR Currently the OTA antenna comes into the converter box, then out to VCR...

I leased two 211's, and they told me they will send me two boxes with shipping labels. Each one will cost me $15 to send receivers back. They also want the LNB back in one of the boxes. I asked why I have to pay shipping, and they said that's the policy. Is this right? I asked if someone could...

What type of OTA tuner do you recommend I buy for my situation. I have a 32" analog TV, a VCR with S-video, and an OTA antenna. Should I buy a OTA-HD tuner? If I do, do I still need to buy an analog to digital converter box? I also want to add a Netflix streaming device soon. Thanks.

I currently have Dish Network HD, but we are looking to cancel, and go with just our OTA antenna programming. I'm trying to figure out just what I need to buy for my setup. I already have my OTA antenna run to the location(currently hooked up to sat. receiver). My projector is 1080p with HDMI...

I currently lease two 211 HD receivers, and I have the HD Absolute package. My monthly bill total is $38.86. Can I switch one 211 to a leased DVR? If so, how does my bill change? The DVR does not have to be HD, because it's hooked up to an analog set. And the second 211 is hooked up to a 1080p...

I have one 811 packed away in the basement since they upgraded me to the 211. Does it have any use anymore(being Mpeg2)? Would It work as an OTA tuner? I was wondering if I should try to sell it, and if so for what price? Thanks.

This is one awesome, beautiful, 1080p DLP projector. This is the one I should have bought to begin with. But I wanted to save a little money, so I bought the Benq W1000. The Benq did look very nice, except the rainbows. So far I put 10 hours on the HC3800 and it produces a great image. NO...

Well, I've had it a few days now and I'm VERY impressed. I wanted to calibrate it and watch a few movies before posting my thoughts. The W1000 is a nice upgrade from my Mits. HD1000. It is a 1080p, DLP projector, so of course it's an upgrade in resolution. It struck me immediately that the W1000...

I'm just curious if any of you carry a bazooka on a daily basis? Do you open carry it or conceal it?

What are your favorite movie channels? I can't stand watching movies with commercials. Are there any without commercials, other than HDNet? Thanks.

I'm considering buying the BDP-2500 and I'm looking for some input from owners. I've read that it has a lot of problems with freezeups, getting locked up with the latest firmware upgrade, etc. If this is true, I don't want any part of it. The main reason I'm considering it is because of the...

Has anyone had to fight with their mother to get her into assisted living? How did you do it? My 80 year old mother doesn't even want to go look at the places. Thanks for any advice.

Are there any movie channels in that package, other than HD-Net Movies, that have no commercials? Thanks.

On July 23 I had Dish out to upgrade my two 811's to two 211's, and my dish 500 to a 1000. The problem is, now the dish won't pick up sat. 129, so numerous channels won't come in. I was told they would have to move the dish or I would need to cut down a neighbor's dead tree. Anyway, they're...

Does Directv have an HD only package similiar to Dish' HD Absolute package ?

I just upgraded to the HD Absolute package, and found out the dish needs to be moved. It is not picking up the 129 satellite. It's either mount it on the roof or cut down one of the neighbor's dead trees(I'm waiting to hear from him about that). The installer said there's no chance of a roof...

Is all the programming on 129? And is the Dish 1000 all I need for HD Absolute package ONLY? I get my locals from OTA antenna. In front of the dish are 3 LNB's. The problem is he had to install dish without a meter because his broke yesterday. He's going to come back and re-align dish with a...

I was just told by a Dish CSR that the HD Absolute package will end August 1, and then you need to switch to one of the new HD Bronze packages. And they still are working on the programming for the Bronze packages.

I just got off the phone with Dish. I wanted to upgrade my two 811's to two 211's, and keep my current $9.99 HD package(that's all I subscribe to). I was told I couldn't keep the $9.99 HD only package, because it's not compatible with the 211. Is that true? I don't want any basic programming...

Have the 211 receivers had many problems? If so, have they been straightened out? I want to upgrade my two 811's to 211's. Thanks.

Do we know yet how the new Bronze HD package at $24.99 per month will compare to the HD Absolute package at $29.99 per month? As far as the channels in each? I need to call and upgrade my two 811's to two 211's, but I don't know if I want to change my current $9.99 per month HD package to either...

I need to upgrade my two 811's(own one and lease one) with two 211's. Will Dish let me lease two 211's? If yes, I assume I would need to pay two monthly lease fees? Thanks.
