Ok.... this is strange. I just picked up a a couple HDMI cables. One to my Samsung LNR-3228W that is connected to a HR20-700 DVR. Get no picture on anything less than 720p as stated previously by others. The other cable is connecting my Samsung LNS-2341W. As soon as I switched to the HDMI input...

Apparently the ones you have talked to are lazy. DTV installers get paid per installation they accomplish, plus they get paid on how many units are installed at that installation. In a typical 4-box installation they should get around $100 for that one job. Any installer should be able to pull...

Actually Dish support just tells you to "please be on the line" :D

Can I get an answer to this part please?

Yes I moved in Decemeber and used my "Free" move so it wouldn't cost me $50. I knew I would have to pay that this time around. The problem was when I called to upgrade, they couldn't "qualify" me for the current HD promotions for upgrade. They now run a credit check to see if they can LEASE you...

I have been a Dish customer for a little over a year. We have moved(note that past tense) and was upgrading to HD at the same time. First they tell me I don't qualify, this I was told 3 times. On the 4th try someone finally let it slip that I didn't meet their new credit checking requirements to...

Hmmm .. 61.5 .. isn't that the old Voom satellite? I have an install re-re-scheduled for this Saturday because he needed to order a tripod to set it up for viewing of the 129 satellite. I believe he said it was going to be a single Dish 1000 for the install. Should I ask him to point it to 61.5...

It was defaulted to 1 by installation and tech always sets it to one. Oh well. It's been working fine for 3 days now with no being made in the stb, antenna, or sitting arrangement. There is definately something wierd here.

Currently set on 1.

The techs had me change the address several times during troubleshooting and it didn't help.

Actually, the only thing that did change was the neighbor moved out :p I live in a rural area and houses aren't real close. I mean I can see them, but not as close as a subdivision would be. If they added something, it must be a huge output amp. I think someone decided to launch a ham radio...

That's what I'm saying. Nothing has changed, the receiver is in the same place it has been for 3 months and the seating position hasn't changed either. I dunno. It's got me.

Ok fellas, I need some major help before I go postal on Dish "Advanced Level" tech support. I have had a 811 and a 510 for about 4 months now. Everything has been working just fine and dandy, no problems whatsoever. Suddenly out of the blue about 3 weeks ago the remote for the 811 quit...

well, it's on every morning at 6:30 or 7 am on USA or some channel like that. See it everyday when I get up.Seems like a sweet deal to me.

Ahh yes, patience. At least playing poker has taught me something :-) Oh well, nothing I can do but wait for the new box to get here sometime next week. I had somehting else to say on this issue, but forgot already. Old age, something else that patience brought with it.

Don't get me wrong. I fully understand the fail rate of electronics, especially hard drives. Just wondering if anyone knew what kind of failure it really meant instead of just "failed".

Woke up to an error code: 0457. "A serious problem has been detected with your hard disk drive". Great. Had 4 programs on there that I hadn't watched yet, and a ton of stuff waiting to record in the timers. Can anyone tell me exactly what the problem is? Called tech support and am getting a new...

I asked them about it yesterday while waiting for the Dish installer to get here. He at first was unaware that the package was available for order. He had read about it, but it was listed in his ordering packages the day before. He told me I would need an additional dish pointing at 61.5(where...

Welcome me to the group. I am moving from Voom and have been happy so far with Dish, tho I just had it installed yesterday. Now I have a few questions: (to pre-qualify these questions, we are subscribed to the America's Evertyhing, and I do mean EVERYTHING ;-) 1) Fox Channel - not the sports...

I know I won't be getting true HD on the SD set, but the picture should be a little cleaner than SD anyway. At least it was on Voom.

If I could afford 2, maybe.

Here's what I got. A nice 42" HD Mits in the main room and a little 19" SD Magnavox in the bedroom. The Mag will be upgraded hopefully soon. This is what I want. DVR capability for both rooms, HD for both rooms without killing the bank. I thought the 942 seemed like the option that I needed...

Now I'm really confused. I just really want the ability to DVR for both tv's and output to either tv whatever was recorded. I want HD on both tv's, even though one is SD at the moment, but it will be upgraded soon I hope. The 942 seemed to fit my bill at this time. I guess I could get 2 811's...

Actually, that's exactly what Voom's STB's were going to be. There was an expansion slot solely intended for an MPEG4 module upgrade.

Actually, I talked to a Dish CSR last night and 1) he spoke english natively, 2) he actually knew what he was talking about. Much more so than the Direct woman that just kept reading off a script.
