What would be the maximum cable length of RG6 from the LNB connector to the receiver input before there would be significant problems? Will the available satellite signal strength effect what this this length may be?,in otherwords if signal is strong at LNB, would a longer run of RG6 be...

ED plasmas have finally hit a price point where I might be interested. I have seen them on display in the stores and they look awsome,and quite close to the HDs sitting next to them. But they are being fed with an HD signal(not D*), converted to their native resolution of 480p . They also look...

When D* finally turns on the Chicago HD locals,what satellite will they be on? The reason I am asking,is that in the newest pricing guide handouts we are seeing at Best Buys here,they are showing that HD locals are now included at no additional charge in the base Total Choice package. So this...

Just wonder if ,there are any Direct TV DVR models ,other than maybe HD models that have a 480P progressive scan component output? Though it did not keep me from buying it,I was quite disappointed the DVR40 did not have one. Even cheap $35 DVD players have it now.

Last week I started noticing a picture stutter on my Hughes DVR40 on live tv as well as anything played back during these same time periods,and always at the same video frames if played back again,so I know it got recorded that way. It Happened on any channel ,4 or 5 times per 1/2 hour...

I will be installing my 2 tuner DVR40 this weekend. Need to know if there is a quick cheap easy to install switch or splitter device that I may install to use both tuners in full function without cabling up the 2nd output from my dual LNB 18"dish. Not opposed to running the 2nd cable,but just...

Any difference other than price ,on the 3 different versions of the DVR40?They look nearly identical,although vary considerably in price at in store retailers. Any difference in look,feel or speed of the menus or channel change response speed ? In the past I had preferred the Hughes menus and...

Does the SD DVR40 have ability to "Chase Play" while recording?..That is start watching a program from the beginning while it is still recording,regardless of how far along that recording is in progress? I understand the "pause live TV" feature has a 30 minute limit,but Can I watch a program...

Does the SD DVR40 have an IEEE port on it that I can use to dump a recorded program to a DVD player? If not,can I just attach the analog AV outputs to a DVD player? Is there any kind of copy protection built in that would prevent me from burning a DVD? I Would like the option of saving certain...

Need to know if the SD DVR40 requires a Tivo subscription to use. Cant get a straight answer from customer service. I just want to replace my existing single receiver and want to just use this as simple timer recorder to replace a vcr.I am not interested in Tivo service. 2 different Direct TV...

I tried installing a standard 18" Direct TV dish at my RV campsite. I was able to find the satellite but just cant get enough to lock on any transponders.Lots of trees etc.Is there a different or larger dish that might be worth a try? Dont need to get locals or HD,just the standard basic service.

Hello,again,trying to learn all I can re DISHnet,,seems more complicated than the DIrectTV I have now,but may switch because cant see the DirectTV satellite because of a hill and trees at my summer vacation spot in Wisconsin. So here is the question. Do I need a "Superdish" for the newly put...

Need to bury a length of RG6 cable down about 6-8" in sandy soil.Can I use standard cable or is there something special I should use and what is its designation? Is it more expensive? What will happen to standard cable over time if I bury it?

What does Dish consider a balance due on? The receiver IRD # itself or the card # or combination of both?

I was wishing to just buy a used DP301 on EBAY to use in my RV camper parked at a campground in Madison Wisconsin. I am surrounded by trees,and probably couldnt get a signal,so my neighbor on the site next to me who already has a dishnet dish and splitter has offered to just let me hook up to...
