    Looking to switch back to Dish. I have 4 TV's. Trying to decide if i want to do Hopper/Super Joey/2 Joeys or 2 Hopper/2 Joey. It looks like receiver fee for 2 Hoppers is only $2 more a month.

    Did you already lease your 612 and 622's or did those get upgraded at the same time as EA install? What was Dish solution for Cinti HD locals on your first few calls if they did not want to upgrade you to EA?

    1000.2 is big enough without having a second dish..dont want that mess hanging off my house...i am fairly sure i do not have a good LOS to 129 due to trees and 129 being lower in the horizon...so 1000.4 is the only way i would go. I thought that 77 was 100% MPEG4 which would require all...
