    Installation advice needed

    My wife and I are moving into a new house next week. Yesterday, I called to have our Dish acct. transferred to the new place. However, I called back to cancel altogether today b/c I'm not sure about the wiring situation at the new house. On last walkthrough, there were no cable outlets wired...

    Dumb question, but I just want to confirm I didn't screw myself

    I'm moving in two weeks. I called Dish (via Embarq) today to move my service. While I was at it, I went ahead and upgraded to the TurboHD Bronze package. Thing is, I don't currently have an HDTV and probably won't until at least December. Will I still be able to watch the VIP 722 on my SDTV? I...

    question about local channels...can i switch which locals i get?

    i live in an area between richmond and charlottesville va (closer to the latter). when i got dish a couple of years ago, the installers said i could either get the richmond or the c'ville locals. i opted for c'ville since that's where i work. now, i'm reading that richmond is getting HD locals...

    should i have gotten a 625 instead of a 522?

    called dish a couple of weeks ago to get a DVR installed. when i talked to the CSR, i asked several times if i'd be getting a 625 and was told "yes". after the install, i tried doing the update to get the extra 50 hours to no avail. then i looked more closely at the box and saw the 522 on the...

    recent TiVo convert question...how does the dish DVR handle extra time?

    with the TiVo, if a show ran, say, an hour and four minutes, it would automatically pick up the extra time in the schedule. does the dish DVR do the same thing? i was just watching Heroes, and it cut out about a minute too soon. i'm not sure if the clock is off or what, but i just wanted to...

    Is external storage supported on the Dish 625?

    I've seen some posts that say yes and some that say no. I just got my 625 on Saturday. It does have the menu setting for enabling external storage, but I don't have an available HDD to hook up and try. I'm not going to bother getting one if it's not supported. If someone has a definitive...

    Just got my 625 today. Question about the remote...

    Is there a way to program the remote so that one button turns on the tuner, the tv and my stereo receiver? Or do I have to hit aux + power every time to turn the stereo on or off?

    Finally getting a Dish DVR on Saturday. Do I need a phone jack nearby?

    I don't have a phone jack anywhere in my living room, so I'm thinking of getting one of those RCA phone extenders. But the CSR didn't mention that a phone jack was required. Should I put a jack in there, or is it unnecessary? I never order PPVs or anything like that.

    Why is my receiver doing this?

    I have a Dish 381 box with a very annoying quirk. I have it hooked up to a TiVo, and every morning, it starts recording my local news via OTA antenna at 630, then switches over to CNN HN at 700. however, when it switches from OTA to satellite, i get the "acquiring satellite signal" screen for...
