First of all I am sorry to post something that is so selfish, I hope it helps others & I made a medium effort to search for a similar & recent thread. I am planning to create a new account after canceling a few years ago. I am so fed up with the equipment at spectrum and a tree was cut down...

I use a Harmony remote, and find that it has problems some times. Not really sure what circumstances cause the problems, but I have had instances where it would not work even inches away. The problem only occurs for a few minutes and is fairly rare ( few times a week).

I had a 722 installed with HD locals via dish last week, and then just today added a ota module. I was able to add my local channels and they are in the guide just fine. My locals are only on 1 sat ( 129 ) My problem appears to be with only local programs. I added the Simpson's as a regular...

I was looking at the 922, but i don't think I would want to pay for the upgrade. Especially since it will be a long time, be real buggy, or both. I called Claude and have an installer headed out this weekend. Does the install cover Cat 5 routing, phone line, or OTA lines? They will all be...

I know there are some HD stations that would be a nice addition, but for the most part everything that has actual content in HD is already there. People are just number chasing now, how many non HD channels broadcast any significant amount of HD programming?

When the 922 is released it will be a significant upgrade cost, even for new subs ... right ? I was going to wait, but I don't want to be stuck chasing my tail waiting till Oct. or even March. Especially if it is going to cost me an extra $200 ( wild guess) and it might have some issues still.

I have a time warner cable HD DVR and am paying nearly $80 a month I am considering switching to HD bronze (then add the + for the MLB season next year) becasue i just cant bring myself to pay the extra $15 or so for just NFL network, I would not watch anything else that is added. My...

chipmunk Goalie, I am afraid that your pod cast is a Alvin and the chipmunks version. The speed is way too fast, when i clicked on the stream. I was listiening though the forum page, not i tunes. I am not sure if the other versions have the same problem or not.

There would have to be a LOT more functionality for the extra $200 that it would require to go with D*. The fact that the 722 is 200 less for a customer, and functionally better is a no brainer

seems like this is intended for smaller cable co's or even universities

You can't expect a dish box that is designed to receive sat signals, but happens to have a OTA tuner to work as well as a brand new top of the line $6000 TV.

thanks for the responces guys

I would not mind if dish and ATT went on some joint venture, but I think I would feel better about the whole thing if the same people (Charlie) were running things.

I think that D* is waiting to start a free HD-DVR offer until this deal is anounced. I have heard a lot of people say they will move to D* if they had a free HD-DVR, and an equal number if dish would merge with the evil ATT.

show topic I am pretty new to the dish world, but am starting to understand more and more. I used to install TWC, and know it very well. A crash course in LNB types, sat locations, switches, spot beams, and DPP would be great. I think that may be a few topics, I hope I have been...

I think that the HD will be eaqual with both of the sat players sooner or later. I NEED a HD-DVR and that is the reason I will go with E*.

I think it would be nice if the DVR would find replacements during conflict times. ex I am recording CSI and the office, and south park at once. ( I know this isn't possible, and it assumes that no OTA antenna is being used) It would be nice if the DVR would record south park at a later time...

I will be having an install scheduled soon, (through Clyde) and will be getting a 722 to enjoy HD TV in all its wonder. My father is pissed off at TWC like everyone else in OH, and wants to sign up for dish. He has seen our DVR and is sold on that technology for sure. However, they don't have...

HD content I don't understand why people are screaming at E* to retake the HD leader badge. I love to watch HD, but bottle neck right now is not D* or E*. Both companies have nearly identical amounts of HD programing available (not counting stretch-o-vision). The amount of SD programming on HD...

late install As a former TWC contactor, I have one thing to say; as much as you don't want an install done at 10:30, the installer REALLY doesn;t want to be there. I was a very good, clean, profesional installer that ended up working many latre nights. I don't know how it works with dish...

I noticed the problem on TWC, but changed channels and then went back to the game, that seemed to fix it

Think about your outlets, as a former TWC installer I would ask customers to think about their outlets. You need to make a choice of cable on the outside of your house, a hole in the floor, or extra money for a wall fish. :eureka

thanks for the responce, I know that D* has a HD-DVR, but it is VERY expensive

I am considering the move from cable to dish. I have ruled out D* because i want an HD DVR. I am moving from TWC and have a SA 8400 box now. I think this is a tech question, but I put it hear based on the HD box I am questioning. All of my questions assume the scenario of 1 722 box with the DVR...

I used to install TWC boxes, and where I worked all passport boxes would show you the diagnostic menu if you held the front select and ext buttons at the same time for a few seconds (until "bing"), and then pushed exit again.
