Tony, AVG will continue to offer free antivirus - their splash screens just make it sound like you have to purchase the new version. Here's a link to the upgrade: AVG 7.5 Dave

June of 2000 for me, starting with a 2-dish self install. Still have my original 4900 and 6000.

Around our house, most weekends are home-repair weekends - and I wouldn't have it any other way:) My parents raised a family of 6 on a meager single income. Everything that came into our house was used, always needed repairs, and seemed to last forever. I got a well-rounded education in all...

Works fine for me. :confused: Dave

My vote was for other - had a Bryant plus90 installed in '94, not a single problem or service call in 11+ years. Warranty similar to Carrier, local contractors were more willing to negotiate price on this brand. Also added a freon-free AC unit (seer14, though) in 2000. No problems here, but 6...

Other than portering, I haven't worked on cars for years. But the worst one I remember was my brother's '76 Chevy Monza V8. Had to break the motor mounts and lift the engine a few inches to change the rear spark plugs. Through the wheel wells, if I remember right. He talked me into helping...

After you've found out what you can, then Push the Button :rolleyes: Dave

butterflyphoto? Here's a few more comments by customers: Resellerratings Fatwallet I've made several purchases (including a TV) from onecall - all great experiences. They will usually match an authorized dealer's price, if you ask. Also bought my last flat screen from TVAuthority ...

Great post, TomD - and welcome aboard! My 62 month relationship with Dish hasn't been the greatest, but it's nowhere near the worst (that honor goes to my ex-wife :D ). In the end, GaryPen put it best - it's just a utility. Ever so often, I do look around. just haven't found anything better...

Add me to the list - still using my 6000, but for OTA only. Makes for a good match to my "old" 1st gen. Mits HDTV. I too am waiting to see if it'll be worth anything when MPEG4 starts to roll out. Dave

Sonys are notorious for shipping their receivers in AVR2 command mode. In order to use a universal remote, you have to change to AVR1. See if your HTR is listed here: Link Dave

All you had to do was click on the blue box at the top of the page :) I got mine from Valueelectronics (along with a nice Satelliteguys discount - thanks, Robert). I find it to be a very good box - using it for both OTA and in-the-clear QAM from my local cable co. However, my only comparison...

It's your LCD doing this. When you're using component, the path is all analog. Your display is willing to keep it that way. When you're using DVI, the display wants to convert 1080i (interlaced) to a digital (progressive) path. 540p is close to being the digital equivilant to 1080i. However...

Well, I'm not a doctor. I regularly use this screen name as a tip of the hat to my somewhat quirky parents. Gave all 4 of their kids the same first and middle initials - the same as theirs :rolleyes: We still chuckle about the many battles over mail when we all lived at home. Dave

gunrunr, since both E* and D* have announced plans to move to MPEG-4 transmission, you might want to hang around here for a little while 'till the effects on PQ and equipment compatibility are known. BTW, just spent an hour on the phone with Dish. Downgraded programming, cancelled movie...

As strange as this sounds, a neighbor may have changed his remote and receiver address - and, in the process, changed your receiver address, too. That could explain why your unit wouldn't power up. Can you check your info screen from the front panel? See what address is there - if you've...

the 6000 has 2 slots for upgrade modules. The one that's iinstalled in your box is the 8PSK (used for additional HD sat. programming along with the standard sat. programming). It takes the place of the original sat. input, thus the bent metal covering the old input. The other module is the 8VSB...

Like Foxbat and others, I'd love to send Charlie a message by voting in this poll - but there's no choice for my vote either. Right before the holidays, I began preparations to switch to D*. At that time, the only remaining benefit in staying with E* was the handfull of RF remotes being used...

Phone, Cat5, A/V, etc.? These types of things always come up later. Do yourself one additional favor - leave a pull wire in the wall. With a simple drywall cutout and a low-voltage remodeler's box, you can always add more lines of whatever later. Dave

If they're prototypes, shouldn't they be available to customers? ;) Oh, nevermind, you said they're working... probably won't be available 'till the software guys break them :rolleyes: My 6000 is long overdue for replacement with a more modern unit. Here's hoping that they get the...

Uhh, NBR is settled? Is everybody that was expecting it going to get it? What about my (and a few other's) 721? Not threadcrapping, but it's not over 'till the fat lady sings - via a name-based timer on my 721 ;) OK, back on topic. How about a poll or 2 for the HD offerings? Dave

50803 owner here - you have limited choices if you want to use E* with the 1st gen. Mits HDTV's. Mitsubishi guessed wrong when they went with their goofy 1080i connection. The rest of the industry went with component connections. You can use This and This in place of the CV10. Or you...
