    Which Dish setup do you have?

    Mixed Arc I have 119/110 that was installed April 2001 and then 61.5 was installed at a later date for 1 local channel. Then HD channels started appearing and Dish attempted to install a 129 but due to a hill to the west, declined to install. I called back and requested just the national HD...

    AT&T Also Raising DSL Prices In 2010

    Clear Is Clear available in your area of Roswell? I just got it and am getting ~5MB for a lower price than DeathStar Service's DSL Extreme. Just a thought. You probably enjoy your 18 Mbps though! ;-) Take care!

    Buying a gaming laptop, need advice.

    Alienware! IF you want a gaming laptop with power for gaming, have you thought about Alienware? I just purchased one for a friend and they really like it. I got a discount through work (7% off) but the final price was just over 4K. Lots of money for a laptop but it is an awesome machine! :-)

    Should I just fix the install myself?

    Intercom Feature On Phones I used the intercom feature on my cordless phones not too long ago to peak my 61.5 dish. I'm glad you mentioned that - time to check my 119/110 again. I hope the OP is successful with "his" re-install. :-) --Mark

    Guide starting to burn-in on my HDTV, any fix?

    I bought a KV-32XBR200 in 1999 and it was $1841 or there about. It's still going strong. I just heard someone at work mention the "app" for fixing LCD retention. I don't have any problems...yet. ;) Anywho, I hope the OP is able to find a solution. Has anyone else heard of this LCD app...

    Dish remote and Pioneer A/V receiver

    Remote and Pio Plasma I can't get my 622's remote to control my PDP-5020 inputs. The Pio has direct input keys on its remote - 1 through 7 or 8. I have to use the original remote for changing between the BD player and the satellite receiver. I have an odd feeling that my VSX-29TX used the...

    New 722 Cooling Mod

    Very true! In my younger years, I was thrown against a wall by the HV housing of a console television! I was drumming on the housing with a screwdriver or a hex driver. That was a surprise! As you stated, I didn't need a meter to tell me there was HV there! I'll have to try this on my 622...

    URL for my online dish account?

    Wow I'm impressed! I think it would be beneficial for Dish to allow it on-line instead of having to call the 800 number and having to pay someone to do it for you. Now you can blame yourself and can't say "But I didn't want that changed and that other thing added!". ;) I'm glad you found...
