I like the 211 idea but probably need two tuners on one receiver. I think that EHD is my best option right now. When we decide we really need HD for the 2nd TV, maybe Dish will have a better whole-house DVR solution at that point. (Or we'll "sling" it from the 1st TV to the 2nd) We've...

Thanks for the information, everyone. I looked at equipment more on Dish Network's site. I thought I remembered from a while ago that the max size for an external hard drive was 750GB. Is that true, or is there newer software now that can use 1TB or more? Does Dish network have any...

Hi all, I've had Dish Network for almost 4 years. I have a 622. It's still working fine, but I find that the more HD content there is, the closer we are to filling it up all the time. I know I could hook up an external drive, but I'm wondering what my options are if I want to upgrade. Here's...

Need something to go in those empty hdmi ports. I'd like to win, please!

Please add my entry!

Yeah, I want it!

I want this! duh!

I had it repaired once under the Samsung Warranty -- they replaced only the color wheel. For the more recent repair the TV was out of warranty but still under the Best Buy 4yr service plan. The repair person (for whatever reason) decided to replace the whole light engine rather than just the...

It's closer to $150, based on a few price checks around the web. My biggest worry is the color wheel... On my 43" Samsung I had it replaced once under the manufacturer's warranty. It went bad again (this time Best Buy's warranty repair decided to replace the whole light engine (includes...

No... and apparently even after the 3 different phone conversations I had with Best Buy people I was mistaken as to what replacement I could select. I was able to trade out for a 50" Samsung DLP (HLS5086W - 720p version) which is fine. It's the closest equivalent to what I had, and 3.5 years...

I was just looking at information on the LED DLP sets from Samsung. They would eliminate the bulb-life issue. I certainly don't plan to listen to anything the BB salespeople say... I want to see what my choices are and then do more research. I don't mind the bulb issue, though... I never had...

Hi, in June '03 I bought a Samsung DLP at Best Buy and bought the PSP. In December I requested service because the set was making too much noise (color wheel?). They ordered a new light engine but it is indefinitely backordered, so they are going to give me a new TV under the Lemon exchange...

I live just outside Raleigh -- in the heart of WRAL viewing area but I was able to watch the game on ESPNHD. Once I realized it was on WRAL also (in wonderful grainy glory) I was pretty surprised that it wasn't blacked out. Oh well.... :shh I'm not going to call and complain about it.

Dear <me>, Capitol Broadcasting Company is pleased to announce that DirecTV, WRAL-HD, and WRAZ-HD have reached an agreement that allows DirecTV to provide WRAL-HD and WRAZ-HD signals to their paying subscribers. As most of you are aware, DirecTV’s current spot beam only covers...

Wow... I just hooked up a ChannelMaster 3020 OTA antenna... I'm able to pick up every local station including the ones on the "back" side of the antenna. The picture is much better than the HD locals. The Orange Bowl looks great! I no longer care when the HD locals are carried by Dish. Thanks...

Just wanted to update everyone... I called Dish again and asked for a "better" installer... one who would be willing to work on the roof if necessary. The installer came out and found a site in the corner of my backyard that the first installed never considered. The Dish 1000+ is pole-mounted...

Thanks for the helpful information! I'm going to try find a compass/clinometer I can borrow and hunt around my house and see if I can find a better location. -RT

So, it sounds like if I want the job done right and it's a complicated install, that I'll be more likely to get quality work if I pay the installer extra to make up for the extra time he'd be working on my install... I may be willing to do that... I'd like to get an estimate for that kind of...

Hi all, Thanks for the tips so far. This was a contractor... From "Rocking R" http://www.rockingr.tv/ I ordered through Dish Network and this is who they sent. It sounds like it will be hard to hit the 129 satellite, but I think it could be done with a dish mount just behind the peak of...

I am trying to switch to Dish from TWC in the Raleigh area. At my scheduled install yesterday, the installer was not able to find a location on my property where we could get line of sight without either placing the big dish right in front of my house. It also seemed like she wasn't very...

True. I just called to order yesterday and they said ABC and NBC were available in HD. He wouldn't give me any information at all as to when others would be added. But yes, I do plan to get the installer to hook up my antenna. Thanks for the info, -RT

Hi, I am planning on starting up with Dish network again soon. I have some questions about what's included in the install, and what I might need to do before the install. Thanks in advance for any answers! My setup: 622 receiver feeding an HDTV, and a SDTV in another room. 1 - The...

Can someone send me a Club Dish number, please? Thanks, flamtap
