    Need to move TV and decide how to run cabling.

    Currently have two dish HD receivers. 622 and 722 I think. Each runs 2 TVs. One HD and the other not. My wife is wanting to get an additional HD tv to replace one of the standard def TVs. It will be mounted on the wall, which is going to require a new cable run. So, here's the dilema...

    Way to improve the pic quality?

    HD channels look good on my Samsung 42" Plasma. Non HD looks like crap. For instance, I was trying to watch the Indy F1 race Sunday and the pic was so grainy it looked much much worse than watching on in the old days with rabbit ears on a 19" tube tv. Is there something I can do to improve...

    Is it supposed to be off this much?

    New customer. Several times in the three weeks we've had service, we lose signal and get the "acquiring satellite signal" message. This with a 1000 with a 622 and a 322. It went out this morning and again this afternoon. My wife called service and they said there is a storm brewing 70 miles...

    Only HD channels on guide

    New subscriber. On the TVs hooked up to my 622, only the HD channels show up on the guide and when I use the up and down buttons to change channels, it only cycles through the HD channels. I've tried changing some settings under menu, but nothing seems to work.

    How to piggyback

    I have a 4 room system. Dish 1000 with a 622 and a 322. I would like to piggyback a tv in my garage to watch occasionally. I realize it would have to be on whatever channel as the TV I'm leeching off of. Question is, exactly how do I do this, and will it effect pic quality on the other TVs?

    New customer

    Finally ditched comcast and got E* yesterday. Dish 1000 with a 322 on two standard tvs and a 522 hooked up to a plasma and an older HD tube TV. Pretty happy so far, and the installer, out of knoxville, TN was great. He even did a installed a pole and found a way to route the cables in with...

    Do I really want to do this?

    Planning to switch to Dish from Comcast when we move in the next few weeks, but do I want to? How's the picture quality, customer service, etc?? Picture quality on cable is great, but Comcast's rates keep going up, thus the move. I pay $120 a month for one HD DVR, with only digital basic and...

    Newbie questions

    I'm getting ready to move, and I'm planning to ditch my cable in favor of Dish. I was thinking of using Dishstore (any reason not to?) I want the dish mounted on a post. Do I need to have the post ready, or will the installer do that? In building the house, I had two RG-6 cables run to each...
