I have been a (mostly) happy Dish subscriber since Voom went "boom". I still have a 622, which is on lease. The thing is, I barely ever watch TV any more. And the little I do watch is usually HBO (usually through HBO GO). I was looking and found an old thread about getting just locals and...

Woot.com has refurb Galaxy Tab 7" tablets for $259 (Sprint 3G, but you don't have to activate and can use as WiFi only). Quick question: would this work for Dishonline? I only have a 622 box so no Sling. Thanks, CDH.

I have a Samsung Airave unit that I used for about 8 months when I was renting a place that had bad Sprint service. Now that I've been in my new house for a while I haven't a need for this device. I'm willing to give this away for the cost of shipping simply because I want it out of my house...

Hi, I'm doing a new home-entertainment system at a house I'm building. I'm planning to mount a 46 or 50 inch TV over the mantle, but I'd like to avoid having to install a center channel speaker. Are there TVs that will use the built-in speakers to play only the Center audio channel of a...

Hope to get some input from some experienced installers. My new house is coming along very nicely, with wiring to go in over the next couple of weeks. I want to give myself a lot of options for network/TV distribution throughout the home. Ethernet (100bt or gigabit) to several locations -...

Okay - here's the problem. My employer offers site-licenses that give me a Windows 7 Pro upgrade for a home computer. I had a computer running Windows XP, used the upgrade (which of course did a "clean" installation because there is no direct XP->7 path). Now that it is installed the system...

I found an old (2008) thread, but the site wouldn't let me post to it since it is too old. Is there any way to get some sort of discount by combining a Sirius account with an XM account? My wife's car has an XM radio with a subscription paid up until June 2010. My own vehicle has a Sirius...

My wife and I are in the process of building our next house. So far the foundation is in, so we're a while out from doing wiring, but I wanted to get some advice on what to do. We plan on having Dish Network, running Cat6 data to many points in the house as well as Coax, and some runs of...

I've just moved - into a rental house while I build my next home - and wanted to keep my Dish service: HD Absolute with 110/119/61.5 going to a single 622. I set up Dishmover over the phone, and they sent someone out today. He couldn't get Line of Sight to 110/119 due to large trees. It...

I've got the (now) old HD Absolute plan on Dish Network. I like it, especially the price. The thing is, I've sold my house and I've got to move into a rental house for a period of several months while our next house is built. I imagine that I'd have to get a concrete-filled bucket with a...

YouTube - Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) This one is making the rounds, but is worth a smile. CDH.

I bought a new car a few months ago and got a free 3-month trial of XM. I'm not the biggest fan, but I did pay the $142.45 for a 12-month renewal. Now I've got a bill for sales tax (thanks, SC) that wasn't initially billed but also an "invoice fee" for $2. I would have paid the sales tax...

In this morning's paper for Greenville, SC: AT&T to provide Dish Network in Southeast | GreenvilleOnline.com | The Greenville News Excerpt: "For almost four years until Wednesday, AT&T and its predecessor, BellSouth Corp., sold the DirecTV satellite television service as part of a package...

I recently purchased a new Acura which included a free trial of XM radio service. Frankly I'm very underwhelmed: not by the selection of channels, which seems fine, but the sound quality. Many stations sound to me as if they are being played under water: not very high quality. This is...

For those of you who don't know woot.com it is a website that (usually) sells only one product per day. For today they're selling a Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick HD TV Tuner and Video Editor for $84.99 + $5 shipping. YMMV, and you need a fast computer for HD, but this might be a worthwhile...

I ordered and received a ViP 622 receiver as an upgrade to my 942. I have it all set up with 110/119 and 61.5 with great reception (over 100 on all three satellites). According to BFG's post my HD locals (Greenville Spartanburg, SC) are likely to appear on 110 later this year, so I'm going to...

Hi, I live in Greenville, SC and receive most of my locals through an attic rotor-mounted OTA antenna (I think it is some flavor of Channelmaster). This is amplified and then sent down to a Dish 942 receiver. Most locals come in consistently, but I'm having difficulty with ABC channel...

Hi, I've been meaning to list these for a while as they've been sitting in the closet since I got my Dish 942. I want them gone! I have: 1. A Voom set-top box that should still work for OTA broadcasts. I can include the original IR remote and DVI cable. I'm thinking $50 plus...

Hello, I'm a former Voom customer trying to have Dish installed today. I have a new installer (3-weeks on the job), who is here right now (Dish 500 for 110/119, Dish 300 for 61.5; 942). The problem is that he won't use my existing mount for 61.5 due to it being attached to my (very...

Okay, so I know this thread may be closed, but since it doesn't actually advocate theft of service I don't see why. In regards to Sands' post here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=68187 Grammar and punctuation aside (which I agree are abominable), s/he has a point. One of...

I've had Charter HD cable installed since Friday. The new high-tech Moxi box is driving me nuts. I have read the manual here: http://www.digeo.com/assets/manuals/viewersGuide.pdf The HD recording quality is excellent, but the interface pales in comparison to the intuitive interface...
