    OTA module for the HR24

    I bought a cheap OTA antenna from monoprice and connected it to the TV for the few times we lose satellite, which has generally been only during severe storms.

    Direct DVR (whole home) vs DishNetwork DVR

    I just switched this weekend. The Dish dvr's seem a little more responsive. there have been a couple of times I hit ok, but it didn't register. Channel changes seem a little slower too. Overall, though, I'm really digging the extra features on the hr-24 over the vip722. the 9 channel quick...

    Former Dish Net / New Customers Read This

    Can you hide channels? I know you can lock channels, but on my dish receivers I could hide channels we didn't want from the guide.

    changing reciever from 61.5 to 129

    No, it's still connected. I was hoping to avoid getting up on the roof.

    changing reciever from 61.5 to 129

    I had a dish 500 added last year to pick up HD locals. They are now on 129, so I have no need for 61.5. I can't get my living room 722 to go back to 129. I've tried a check switch and it didn't seem to do anything. The 622 in my bedroom is somehow using 129, but I can't seem to get the 722...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I originally moved from 129 to 61.5 because my locals started there and I got a much stronger signal from 61.5. Our HD used to drop all the time. I've got a 1000.2 and a 500. would they just need to pull the 500 aimed at 61.5? Has 129 improved?

    Sling Media Introduces Sling Receiver 300 for Television Service Providers

    This is exactly what I'm looking for in the end. Are they talking about doing something with Microsoft Media Room or will it be purely powered by Sling. This years solution sounds fine, but it doesn't quite meet the needs of my family's viewing habits.

    Clark Howard says don't pay!

    This is great, but where I live, all we get OTA is the 4 networks and pbs.

    Switch location question

    Sigh, thanks. Not sure how brave I feel because that means I'd have to run a line from the roof.

    Switch location question

    I have a really stupid question. Where is the switch located? is it on my dish (1000.2) would it be inside where the installer ran the cables into the house? Or do I even have a switch? I currently have 2 recievers. I'd like to run another line for a receiver for some testing I'll be doing.

    Uplink Activity Report - 12/4/2008 4:02am - 67 changes

    I've got the 61.5 dish installed. Apparently was the very first my installer had done. I'm tempted to unplug 129 because the signal strength on 61.5 is as least double.

    Anyone see this...

    If it's anything like what D has planned, it'll be a USB tuner. My guess is we won't even see anything about this until Windows 7 releases.

    Anyone see this...

    Saw that and I'm really excited. We used media center as our DVR before going to dish for HD. I'd love to get back to watching tv on that platform again.

    Tv is going in for service

    It's under warranty, so that's no biggie. if it wasn't, I'd be screwed. The repair guys think it's either a failing panel or board.

    Tv is going in for service

    My plasma needs to be serviced. I've got an old 19" i plan on connecting while it's gone. am I going to have difficulty viewing HD programing on the tv? Obviously not in HD, but will it down res the picture on HD channels to 480i assuming I set the res on the dvr to 480i? I'm mostly...

    $59 61.5 wing dish for Des Moines, IA HD locals. Opinions please ...

    The installer that did mine was saying how horribly Dish has screwed this up. He's got a lot of customers in town that have no eastern view. There's also a lot of neighborhood covenants that prohibit a second dish. i don't know if mine does or not, but nobody has said anything yet.
