    811 Aspect Ratio Control

    I have a widescreen (16:9) Samsung HDTV, and I'm thinking of getting an 811. I was just wondering how it handles different aspect ratios. My TV can do different things with 4:3 broadcasts, but how does the 811 handle them? If you're watching an SD channel through the DVI or Component...

    DHA Buyer Beware of 3rd Party Agreements

    My installer flat out lied to me, and shame on me for not reading EVERYTHING in the 'installation agreement' I am under a DHA agreement with E* with a single 322 and I was toying with the idea of switching to D* now that they offer locals. I've only had the E* service for 6 months. Well, I...

    Took down my SuperDISH today, prepping for Ivan.

    Well, after boarding up my house, I climbed on the roof and took the SuperDish off it's pole tonight. I left the pole and the support arms up there, but I didn't want that thing acting like a giant sail and ripping part of my roof off when it decided to take off in the wind. Anyway, I'm...

    S-Video Output while watching HD?

    What get's out through the S-Video when you're watching HD through the DVI or Component Outputs? I am considering getting an 811 and integrating it with my Standalone Tivo, connecting the DVI directly to my TV and the S-Video to the Tivo. I'm aware that the Tivo won't be able to record any...

    College GamePlan Availability?

    When do they normally make this available and how much does it normally cost? Sorry for the lame newbie question, but DISH's website is lacking the info. --Matt

    More installer humor. (Grounding related)

    The installer who did my install a few weeks ago did it the morning I was flying out of town, and I didn't have time to notice whether he grounded the dish properly or not, I asked the guy, and he said "It's ok". Fast forward to when I get back in town and do a thorogh inspection. No...

    Do I need an adjustment?

    A little background first: I have a SuperDISH 105, Type 1, my signal strength for 110 and 119 are over 100 pretty much all the time, and my signal strength for 105 hovers around the low 50's maybe making 57-59 sometimes. ZIP code = 32571. Pretty much every time it rains even a little, I...

    322 - IR Sensors - Which is which?

    On the front of the 322 there are IR Emitters and Receivers, but the manual doesn't tell you which little 'dot' is the emitter or receiver. Does anyone know which is which? Thanks --Matt

    2 311's or 1 322?

    I am getting service installed on the 16th and I have 2 TV's I need to hookup. I was wondering if it's better to get a pair of 311's or just get a 322 under the DHA? I guess I would avoid paying the $5 fee if I just got the 322, but I wouldn't own the hardware (which I guess can be good or...

    Does the 311 have the new interface?

    I am about to get DISH and I was curious if the 311 has the new interface that the 322 and 522 are sporting, or if it has the same interface as the 301. I'm sure someone out there knows. Thanks. --Matt

    Anyone use an SA Tivo w/ IR Blasters?

    I was wondering if anyone is using a Standalone Tivo with IR blasters on a 301 or 322. How slow are the channel changes on that setup? Obviously they're going to be slower than the Tivo by itself. btw, I know about the 'problem' with standalone DVRs and the 322, I'm just more worried how...

    DHA or Free Dish?

    I've never been a fan of leasing anything, but those new 322 and 522 UI's look nice. I'm going to be moving soon and getting satellite tv, probably dish, and I was wondering what the consensus is on whether the DHA is a good deal or not? The only downside seems to be that you don't own...
