Well...I came home from work yesterday and the locals magically appeared. No idea why it took 2 days for them to show up, but they are there. Thanks for the help/ideas!

Nope...receiver was straight out of the box. I've had it hooked up for over a day now...still nothing.

Has anyone seen this: I have 3 receivers at home...my locals display on two of those...my cheapo RCA basic receiver and my Samsung HD receiver. However, they do not show up on the Philips 704 DirecTivo that I just bought. It sees all 3 Satellites just fine. I activated the unit &...

Has anyone else had problems getting through to D* Customer Service recently? The other day I had a Samsung HD Receiver installed. The installer had trouble getting through to them over the phone, so we decided to activate it online. While this worked pretty smoothly, the installer made a...

Right now, I have a Dish 500 system with a 6000u & 508. I currently subscribe to HBO, but do not get HBO-HD because I do not have a second dish pointed to the 61.5 orbital location. I thought this was going to be solved for cheap with SuperDish. I figured I'd go for the commitment and...

Do you think the HBO/Showtime HD feeds will be moved to 110 eventually? If so, anyone have a educated guess on how far in the future it may be? I'm just wondering if it's worth the price of the extra dish to get it now...

Hey Rob...you won't get a $149 6000u, but if you keep pressing, they will eventually let you have it for $199 on the DHP plan. At least they did for me (and other people on the forums). I called 4 different CSR's and was told no everytime. I finally sent an e-mail asking for the deal, got...

If you don't mind refurbished, you may want to look around on the net at some of the places that sell JVC refurbs. I was able to get once recently for $70 shipped. Looks brand new & works great. I can't give you an opinion of how it records, though. It is strickly a player in my...

Sorry...above "guest" post was me (original submitter of question). Forgot to login.

Does anyone know if the free SuperDish promotion will be offered to the DHP Customers? When the 6000u offer was originally NOT offered to the DHP customers, I yelled/kicked/screamed and finally was offered to be let out of the DHP program if I bought my own equipment (I'm only 6 months into...

I have it set to 1080i. I played around with 720p & 1080i settings, and the 1080i settings looked better. The 720p was "shrunk"...the picture didn't fill up my screen. But, I didn't see if changing it to 720p would fix this vertical line problem. Could that make a difference? The...

I received my 6000u early last week. I've watched a variety of HD programming on the 4 subscription channels. Everything looks BEAUTIFUL on my front-projection system. Here's the problem. Last week, I was watching an NAVY vs. AIRFORCE football game on HDnet. The picture was gorgeous...

Just an FYI (since I started this topic)... I received my new 6000u receiver today (only 14 hours after kickoff of the Steelers/Browns ESPNHD game). Everything works perfectly. I guess it in fact was a bad receiver. I guess I need to trust the installers more :oops: (Since the...

I am referring to the HD package that is offered on the 110 satellite (ESPNHD, DiscoveryHD, HDnet & HDMovies) I have a Dish 500 system with 119 & 110 locked in. And, yes, I have a subscription to the package. They also show up on my program guide as available channels. Just a...

I just got my 6000u receiver. I had it installed professionally. The problem is, it doesn't receive the HD package (ESPNHD, DiscHD, etc). Receives all SD channels perfectly, but no HD. The installer seemed to know what he was doing and basically blamed it on a faulty box (a new one is being...

Any ideas if this deal will apply to DHP customers? E* finally relented & gave me a 6000u/8VSB for the $199 deal. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to go down a similiar path for the SuperDish.

I have no problem with the DHP plan...as long as we can get the deals...in this case to affordably upgrade to HDTV. I have no gripes about DHP other than I was mislead by the DISH salesperson who told me that I would be able to upgrade to HDTV "easier" with DHP vs owning. That's why I made...

I am only 6 months into my 12 month contract There is a $240 cancellation fee, but they weren't going to charge me it (I wasn't really cancelling...) I may be in a little different situation than most. When I was signing up for DishNetwork, I ended up doing it over the phone thru E*. I...

Actually, I was given a way out without cancelling my plan. They said I could go buy my own new system and then return the rented equipment. I'd be then out of the DHP. Believe me, though, I had to fight long & hard for this. I was on the verge of cancelling & switching to DirecTV...

Hold the phones...I just got a call from someone from the Executive Office. He has offered me (a DHP customer) the same $199 deal on the 6000u (with the 8VSB). Didn't give me much of an explanation on the change of heart other than they want to offer me this deal. Of course, I took him up...

I was up at Sears in Erie, PA. I wanted to see if they had a VOOM display or anything. The one salesman said that they would have a display starting tomorrow (10/1). My point: Erie, PA is not a large city and our store seems to be getting a VOOM display BTW...he also said that...

I just got off the phone with Dish's cancellation department. They will let me off of the DHP after I buy a new system & return the old one. They DID say I have to return the LNB. I'm curious to see if after I am no longer a DHP customer if I will be able to get the $199 6000u deal...
