    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    That won't work at my house. The room is 4ft underground and we are talking concrete block and brick wall. They could come in through the ceiling, but there is no way to gain access to it as it is sheetrocked. Oh well, I'm sure he will figure out something. Worst comes to worst I'll just drill...

    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    Ok. Really doesn't matter to me which one it is. I'm not one of those that has to have the newest ones or anything. Long as it works and does as advertised I'm happy. LOL.

    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    Good news! I did request to SD boxes so we should be in good shape on that front. Honestly, a 2nd DVR wouldn't do me much good. The kids don't really need one (want yes, need no lol) and the last TV is in our bedroom and it is just there to watch while on the treadmill. lol. But thanks for the...

    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    E* is for Echostar as that is the company that owns Dish. In fact we have a call center here and the signage even says Echostar. Only has Dish in a very small logo on the corner of he sign. As for my DMA, I'm in Bluefield, WV. Direct does have locals in my area and has since last fall. And you...

    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    Ok. Thx for that info. I never understood why D* was using two cable runs when E* simply had the diplexer switch with one cable and it was done. I won't be having Whole Home (MVR?) because I'm not gonna pay $99 each for 2 more HD receivers instead of SD. The TVs are the kids' rooms with old...

    New install coming!! ?s about cable runs

    Ok all. I'm finally making the jump from E* to D*. The savings were just too good to be true. Saving over $200 over a 2yr contract and getting HD and a higher package (both things I don't have now!) So here is my question. I'm going to have HDDVR HD SD SD I assume I'll have the new HR24 for...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    I talked to a rep in chat yesterday. Here is what I was told. Primary Receiver 625 would be replaced with a HDDVR receiver. Secondary Receiver 322 would not need to be replaced (asked twice but still don't beleive this) Currently they have a deal for a free upgrade on a receiver with a 2yr...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    Ok. Somehow I missed a few posts on here. Must be with the way this page loads in IE. Takes forever with the ads and sometimes doesn't even load. Anyway, so I need to get a new dish. The Eastern Arc. From look on Dish's website it looks like my best receiver options will be the 722k for my...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    Ok. Let me make sure I understand what everyone is saying. Here is my current set up. I have Americas Top 120. No HD service currently. I do have one HDTV that my main receiver is hooked up to. My 2nd receiver is hooked to two SDTVs. My dish is mounted on a 4ft pole at the corner of my house...

    D*'s Same TV for Less? Really? Commercial Against E*

    I would be paying $3 more with D*, and having a few extra channels. It is worth it for me for one thing. D* has my locals, E* doesn't. I'll be switching as soon as my contract is up in June if E* doesn't have my locals by then.

    wow this pricing is confusing!!!

    It isn't really the exact model that matters with the caculator, as long as you pick a receiver that fits in the following categories. Keep in mind that if you have more than one receiver, the most expensive one will be the one included "free" in your package. Duo DVR $17 Single DVR...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    I had a friend that works at the call center here in Bluefield tell me that they are being uploaded to the International satellite. And sense no one around here gets international programming, we don't have them. What kind of sense does that make? Also, I don't understand how they cannot offer...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    It's just like the Bluefield Daily Telelie. But that isn't the issue to me. I still wouldn't watch the news. I just want to be able to DVR shows on NBC.

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    I hope they do get it online soon. Very frustrating being at my Parents' house with DirecTV and them having locals. With this and the price changes coming in February, and my contract being up, I'm very tempted.....they need to get on the ball.

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    Direct already has the locals here and my Mom & Dad will have waited 6 weeks once he shows up next weekend.

    phone connection fee

    Bummer. Oh well. ...$30? Shoot. I paid $60 for the one I have from Radio Shack. Guess I need to shop around more for the 2nd one then. Thanks!

    phone connection fee

    Really? So I have a 625 as primary and a 322G as the 2nd. The primary is hooked up to the phones via one of those wireless boxes that plug into a wall outlet. The 322 is not hooked up (just haven't gotten around to getting a second phone box). Are you saying I can move the box so the 625 is...

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    So from my understanding I will need a new dish then due to the signals being on 118.7. I currently have a Dish 500 from what I can tell. I can get a signal on 118 and 119 during the "Point Dish" setup, but no 118.7. Is that correct? What kind of cost if any are we looking at for those in...

    Totally confused on Advantage and TV2 connect fee...

    Awesome. So just to make sure I understand you guys... So you all are saying if I take that outlet jack thing and put it on the Duo Non-DVR receiver, and have the Primary DVR not plugged in, I will not be charged any fees? Man this forum rocks. I should post more and not just read. LOL...

    Totally confused on Advantage and TV2 connect fee...

    Ok. I feel out of place here with everyone talking about HD which doesnt affect me, but I have a question. I have always had DVR with my package but never had a Dish Advantage plan as locals are not available in my area. So my bill simply shows this. Classic Silver 200 $47.99 Dish Network DVR...

    Ask AllAmericanDirect - Distant Network Q's

    I've had AAD SD with CBS, ABC, and Fox (NBC is via antenna for local affiliate) for over 2 years. I've watched the price rise from roughly $8 for all 6 stations to $10.47 currently. I may go with the local cable company and get Basic. Only disadvantage is no DVR. I am happy with AAD except...

    DTV transition..confused

    Ok. I double checked the diplexers and the cables and all to make sure how I had it all wired up. (we are talking only about the primary receiver with the plasma). One cable comes in to the Terk diplexer. The signal is split, one to the receiver, one straight to the TV coax input. So...

    DTV transition..confused

    Ok. Great answers so far. Very quick! Thanks! I have a Panasonic 42" Plasma, so yes, it does have the built in tuner. The OTA is hooked up through the receiver, and just as someone said, it is pass-through. The diplexers split the signal coming inside and diverts one to the receiver from the...

    DTV transition..confused

    Ok. Not sure if this should go in the Tech forum or not. If so, mods I apoligize in advance and feel free to move me! Here is my setup. 522 in living room with HDTV. OTA antenna hooked up. 625 in oldest's bedroom used as a dual tuner to both kids' bedrooms with STVs. OTA NOT hooked up. I...
