    Taking hopper or Joey to summer cottage

    ok thanks--so then if i buy a 211 ( assuming I'd look on ebay or something?), do I have to get that activated at my primary home first? Would I have to pay another monthly charge for that? I'd only use it at the cottage on rare occasions (a football game, a movie, etc). We would never watch...

    Taking hopper or Joey to summer cottage

    New dish customer here. I have a hopper, a super Joey, and 2 joeys. The hopper and super Joey would be difficult to move. However, the joeys would be easy to move and bring with to a cottage we use in the summer. There is already a dish on the roof of this cottage from an old owner. Can I bring...

    I don't know what we get yet, the installer is still here working... I couldn't find the Chicago spot beam map, but the other spot beam maps I looked at looked huge--you sure it wouldn't reach up here?

    Help with locals/eastern arc question

    All our TVs are HD, wouldn't really want SD receivers. The installer said we have satellites 110, 119, and 129, if that helps. Chicago locals would be great if we "moved", but not essential. But not having any HD network channels would be a deal breaker. Are there other areas that we'd be in...

    Help with locals/eastern arc question

    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I tried to search but couldn't find the exact answer. Just switched from Directv to Dish. Installer came today while I was at work and talked to my wife. He said that he would hook it up now, but in a year or so we would lose our locals, because we...

    Dish to Directv questions

    I am a Dish customer who would like to switch to Directv, and I have a couple questions I was hoping you could help me with. First, I called Directv yesterday, and they quoted me a price of 52.99 per month after the autopay credit and 31/month rebate. When I got my activation email, the bill...

    Question for long-time DirecTV customers

    I apologize for going a bit off-topic here, but if I get a second DVR, would I have to set it up to record all the same shows as I do on the main DVR, or will it add and delete shows whenever I do the same on the main DVR if I have the whole-house DVR setup? I wouldn't want to have to schedule...

    Question for long-time DirecTV customers

    Well Chip, the CSR said I might pay less after the one year deal was over, so I wanted to know if it was true. Companies often have deals for existing customers that you'd only know about if you called and asked for it, so I wanted to know if people had called and asked for it.

    Question for long-time DirecTV customers

    i was going to do the choice ultimate for the first year because they are giving you the sunday ticket for free right now if you get ultimate or premier. Otherwise I'd get the Xtra. Just wondering if they are willing to drop the price at all for existing customers. The CSR said that I could...

    Question for long-time DirecTV customers

    well, it's not an apples to apples comparison. I have a 722 box with Dish Network, which I have rigged to control 3 TVs (run an HDMI to the living room TV, run a long component cable to the bedroom TV, so both are considered TV1, then run another TV with the 722s antenna), plus I have another...

    Question for long-time DirecTV customers

    I am considering making the jump from Dish Network, which I've had for about 5 years, to Direct TV. Mostly it's because I want the whole-house DVR service, I like Sunday ticket, and I'm annoyed that Dish Network wants me to pay $200 to upgrade to a 922 receiver. I called and found out I could...

    Where's the edge?

    OK so for the last week or so the sides of my picture have been cut off, and i can't figure out why. ITs like I have zoomed in a little on the picture, but I haven't to my knowledge changed any setings. I have a Dish HD-DVR box and a 50" widescreen plasma tv. I looked in the dish menu, and i am...
