    HDMI out from satellite client (dish or DTV) then to two sources, then back to tv. I know kinda wei

    Not totally disagreeing ;-) at this point I'm being stubborn perhaps. In all seriousness I may go with direct TV though. Also thinking to make it simple and use the main box in my bedroom which has dual outputs and the thin client in my main room. The only thing I don't know much about is how...

    HDMI out from satellite client (dish or DTV) then to two sources, then back to tv. I know kinda wei

    True but I wanted to put this in my bedroom which is where the client will be. I thought since no one will be watching the bedroom TV it makes sense otherwise won't what's being place shifted have to be what's displayed on the TV? Or is there a way to change internal tuner to not screw up if...

    HDMI out from satellite client (dish or DTV) then to two sources, then back to tv. I know kinda wei

    Well I already invested in the vulkano and if I go with dtv there isn't a sling option with the genie. Plus I'm not one for combo devices. I've used sling recently and prefer my vulkano. The 2 adapters are like a 50ish investment so that part isn't an issue. Thinking that expense is still better...

    HDMI out from satellite client (dish or DTV) then to two sources, then back to tv. I know kinda wei

    So here is the deal. I just got a Vulkano placeshifter. Its like a sling box. I want to connect my tv in my bedroom but if I switch to dish and use the clients they dont have both component and hdmi out like my current cable box that I have (uverse). So, Here is what I am thinking. Id...

    To Sling or not to Sling - That is the question

    I'm thinking about going dish. I just purchased a vulkano lava because I didn't know if I was going dish or dtv and I didn't want it tied into a single device. I am on uverse. I can get good quality at 750ish on up. I'm thinking about upping my internet to see if that helps but generally its...

    Gains and Losses if I switch from Direct to DISH

    Just got the monsoon vulkano lava and an extremely happy with it. I didn't want to rely on my provider in case I switch so I went with that vs sling. Great quality both in equipment and picture. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    considering hopper/joey. Connection question with a Vulkano placeshifter

    So at the moment I'm using uverse. Got the vulkano connected. Love the interface. Hooked it up wireless are the moment and surprisingly the quality is excellent. I also like that I can store on that separately and move shows to my tablet for offline viewing. Back to the converter though I think...

    got a new tv, suddenly my STB isnt staying on....coincidence?

    I had a 37" Panasonic LCD, and just recently upgraded to a 42". Basically have the setup the same, HDMI 1 is the only connection I am using. But, I would like to NOT have to manually turn on my Uverse box, Id prefer to just turn on the TV and be ready to watch. Also, I am just about to...

    CES-2013 PR: DISH’s New “Hopper with Sling” Delivers Unparalleled Choice and Control, at Home or On

    Hmmm now I'm thinking. I don't think the client fee is a big deal but 150 vs 50 and 24 so were talking 125 more overall. Still on uverse for 2ish months then contract is done. At that point I can evaluate I'd its worth it and give the new hopper time to hit the public. If I like the vulkano ill...

    CES-2013 PR: DISH’s New “Hopper with Sling” Delivers Unparalleled Choice and Control, at Home or On

    I just read this. And....... yesterday ordered my vulkano lava, go figure. But the more I'm reading the more I think ill be happy with it as a sling alternative. Its got storage to save and move to my galaxy tab or Droid phone. Is there a fee per device with dishs sling? I thought 12.99 per...

    considering new genie. Connection question with a Vulkano placeshifter

    Maybe use an extra client and get a component to HDMI converter seems to be one solution. The other may be to just keep uverse as is but in dying to switch. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    considering hopper/joey. Connection question with a Vulkano placeshifter

    I will look into the converter. I was thinking perhaps such a thing exists. I don't use apple. Don't wanna use sling. I like to go against the grain and I like that when I cannot monsoon they answer. Free tech support, cheaper app, wireless, 150 bux. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    considering hopper/joey. Connection question with a Vulkano placeshifter

    Great idea in regards to the extra Joey. The only hitch is the vulkano only has component inputs. I just ordered the vulkano and liked the lower priced per device monsoon product but not a deal breaker. Hmmmm Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    leaving voom and just adding 811, but I got some DishHD ?'s

    Hi all.. After being with dish for a few years I decided to give voom a try. I kept my DN simply because of the PVR and its still somewhat cheap and I just have SD TV in my other room. I've had both Sats for a while, but after spending 65 a month for voom and HBO I've decided its not worth...

Now hes got the total HS setup with dish and reciever so I know hes got the hardware as well as a 51 sony HDTV. I didnt...
