Is it possible to connect a set of headphones (wire) to the Dish 722k for direct sound? My TV has no component audio output and I wanted to try watching TV while listening on the headphones. Thanks in advance for input.

I can hardly contain myself. And no fee on top of it.

ditto for me. I have 250 w/HD with no other package.

For those of you who have a bundled account, you are automatically enrolled in the "free for life" if you had HD with Platinum prior to this time. I went to chat and was told I have automaticlly been enrolled in "free for life" and was asked if I wanted to keep Platinum. I did have 200...

Thanks.

Yes, it is set to 1080i and 16:9 ratio. I have a 1080, he has a 720... could that make a difference?

The channel was ESPNU. At his house, the basketball game filled the full screen. I came home and found pillar boxes on my set. While at his house, I checked to make sure he had his set to "normal" aspect ratio. I checked mine at home as well. I have a panasonic and he has a samsung, both...

Is it normal for some HD stations on Dish to have pillarboxes or letterboxes? My friend has a 50in tv, as do I, and he gets cable vs. dish. On the same HD station, mine will have bars while his does not (he is not in zoom format). I noticed that I do get more stations in HD than he does, but...

a cut to the chase question I am a novice and have been reading many threads. I currently have two dishes, one for 110/119 and the other for 61.5. I am not currently getting the new HD channels. Am I correct in my interpretation that I will be getting the new HD stations, but it will be...

We have two tv's via a 722 dvr. I am a complete novice even though I have been with dish for a few years. Tonight, TV2 lost a signal while TV1 was fine. I decided to go into menu and look at the reception under "point dish". 119 showed very low signal strength, so I changed the transponder...

A couple of questions: 1. Will the signal strength be considerably better with 2 dishes vs 1 dish (for HD)? 2. Can the base for a Dish 500 be used for a Dish 1000.4, or will new holes need to be drilled to place the base for the 1000.4? Thanks

Thans so much for the help! Very helpful. To all the others also. Great folks.

I live in Jefferson City, Missouri. I believe it would be Columbia Missouri. Thanks

I currently have SD with a 625 and will upgrade to HD in short order. I'm trying to figure out what the tech might do with the current dish situation. I have a Dish 500 pointed at 110 and 119 (mid-Missouri area). Because the los for 129 will be a problem (trees in the way), will I have to...

I will be upgrading to HD and will have to move my receiver to a different room. The only problem is that I will not have access to a phone connection or internet connection. I would really like to avoid the $5 fee AND still have access to caller ID. Anyone have any suggestions on how to...

I have a HDTV arriving next week. I currently have only SD service and plan to upgrade to HD. Would you wait until the TV arrives to upgrade the service? Or, upgrade the service so it is ready when the TV arrives? I currently have a 625 dual tuner which serves two TV's, both of which are SD...

I currently have a dish 500 that picks up 110 and 119 nicely. I am thinking of upgrading to HD but am not sure I can pick up 129 (area of trees blocking line of sight). Anyone know how this problem could be worked out if I decide to go HD? Cutting trees down is not an option... they are in...

I currently have a 625 in a bedroom so that we could connect to a phone jack. If I upgrade to HD, they will have to move the receiver into the living room because that is where we plan to use the HD. With no access to a phone jack , what are the possible solutions? I would like to connect to...

Can anyone tell me how the picture appears in standard definition on a plasma television? I currently have Dish (no HD yet) and plan to buy a new television. I was specifically looking at a Panasonic 42" Plasma but I am worried that the SD viewing will be worse than my old CRT. A second...

I am thinking of buying an HDTV and would therefore need to upgrade my dish to HD. A few questions: 1. What will be needed to complete the upgrade? I currently have a dish500 and dvr for SD television. 2. Will I be charged for the new dish and dvr for the upgrade? 3. How much additional a...

Why would there be a difference between signal strength of 110 vs 119? I have signal strength on 110 of around 100 and on 119 it is around 90. Any reason for concern? Also, just curious and trying to learn more. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I recently had a roof mount for the dish 500. The tech was great and knew his stuff. My question is, after looking at various posts, is a roof mount a problem? Thanks in advance for any replies.
