    HD Upgrade question

    Thanks. What is the best "upgrade path" to get one. Can I upgrade the 510 to a 622, or will I have to use one of my 811's?

    HD Upgrade question

    I just bought a 3rd HDTV for the bedroom, and I'd like some advice on adding/upgrading a new receiver. Right now, I have 2-811's, at 510, and a 311. Ideally, I would upgrade either the 510 or one of the 811's to a 622. I'd also consider buying a 942 on eBay if that might my best bet. Any...

    Recording with an 811

    Waltinvt, I have the E85 also. What settings did you change that make a difference?

    Add a 4th rcvr 2 weeks after install?

    I just called, and got the basic receiver for $49. Tried to get it for free as I told them I would install it myself, but they wouldn't do it. So, they are sending installer out this weekend.

    Add a 4th rcvr 2 weeks after install?

    What is DHA? I ordered the system directly through Dish as opposed to going through a local retailer.

    Add a 4th rcvr 2 weeks after install?

    Right now I have 2 811's and a 510. The switch is a DP34. So, for the 4th I was probably going to get a 301.

    Add a 4th rcvr 2 weeks after install?

    I was installed 2 weeks ago for a 3 room system and would like to add a 4th receiver. Can I still add one at this point for free, or am I now a "existing customer"? Since I just need a basic receiver, I wonder if I should just buy one off of eBay to save the $5 month lease charge.

    Voom to Dish subs, check your statement

    I was looking at my Dish statement the other day and noticed that they were charging me 31.99 instead of 19.99 for the first 2 months. I sent an email, but they said "no, you are just being charged 19.99". That was incorrect, so I called and the CSR kept telling me that I signed up for the...

    Diplexing a satellite input and output to 2 nd TV

    I probably did a poor job of explaining my previous setup. I think the diplexers were only used before the STB to compine the OTA and LNB feed. I then also combined the backfeed from one of the STB's with the antenna to feed the rest of the TV's, so I guess no diplexer was used at that...

    Can I/(should I) get a 942?

    I had my Dish installed last week. I went with 2 811's and a 510 for the DVR. Now I've read a few reviews where people are raving about the 942. Not only from the DVR capabilities, but the superior PQ as compared to the 811. So, here are my concerns, questions.. - At this point, can I...

    Diplexing a satellite input and output to 2 nd TV

    Is there a good site to visit that shows clear diagrams on the various uses of the diplexor? My installer screwed up my internal wiring, and could only figure out how to combine OTA/Sat or decoded/Sat, but not both at the same time as it was before he got there. :mad:

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    Had my install done today. After the installer left, I called and added the Voom package. So, it looks like that plan worked to get Voom without the $100 2nd dish charge. Even if my locals weren't on 61.5, I think the installer would have pointed my second/local dish in that direction for me...

    I wondered about that, but I believe Sean and DarrellP added them and they were current customers.

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    That sounds like the same deal I got when I placed my order on Sunday. I didn't add the Voom channels when I placed the order as I couldn't get them to waive the $100 fee. So, I just made sure I got the 2nd dish for the locals and there was no charge there. As soon as it is installed...

    $100 charge for second dish and locals

    I've had the same "fun" with the $100 fee. I may have found a way to get around it, but I won't know for for sure until it is installed. I called to order the "Voom special" and told them I shouldn't have to pay the $100 since I would need the 61.5 dish for my locals. He said I would get it...

    New Comcast commercial, Voom included

    I'd l'm anxious to hear your comments on Comcast, especially since I am in the Atlanta (Roswell) area.

    Voom Message Board Traffic Fading Fast

    Can you tell us what is wrong with the HD-DVR box? I'm leaning towards Comcast after Voom shuts down, but I'd like to hear the +'s and -'s about Comcast.

    Anyone recording for posterity? In hidef?

    I have a Panasonic E85 and use S-Video and 480i. I also DON'T use the high speed dubbing, and it seems to record properly in 16:9 at near hi-def quality.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    The Genesis show was recorded in '87, but the Phil Collins concert is fairly new so it should look decent. So, hopefully they are still tweaking Rave as that has normally looked good in the past.

    Me too, and it seems to be much slower moving between channels.

    Is Voom Still charging sales Tax

    I'm in GA and am looking at my bill right now. It is a little confusing. On my online bill, I see: FRANCH FEE EQUIP/SMT/REM $0.95 but on the paper copy it shows the $0.95 as Sales tax. But, that fee was $3.94 until October, so it did go down a little bit.

    Sign a contract, save some $$$

    My point was primarily for anyone who paid new programming fees, but old stb rental rates. But, even someone with old fees can save a little. You save $4.50/box and the $5 mirror fee goes away. Your programming goes up $10, so the net is you save $4 a month. :)
