    SD to HD jump (Austin)

    I'm buying a Panny TH-42PQ60U today and have several "HD" questions. 1. I have a Dish 500 and get good signal on 100 and 119 fine. If I sign up for HD-Silver will all the stations come in from those Sat's? 2. I see Austin local-HD is "coming soon", can I assume since Dallas and Houston...

    CBS Outages - Austin???

    I gets locals through E*. For the past few weeks CBS has been "freezing-up" for a minute or so, maybe 4 times per night. All other stations are fine, even during this freeze. Picture just goes to still, no sound, then picks back up with that section missed. Has anyone else experienced this?

    501 Remote Codes

    I've had a 501 for several years, and just added a DVD player to the TV it's connected to. I can not seem to get the TV/Video button on the 501 to work with my Magnavox TV (7-8 years old). The TV on/off works as does the volume. Is there a way to program other "TV" buttons on the 501 remote...

    Dish 301 (Panny E80) recording question

    When you hit the "record" button on a 301, it gives you the option of setting up a VCR to automatically record programs in the future from the program guide. You must enter a "manufatcureres code" to set it up. I just bought a Panny E80 recorder; is there a manufacturers code for Panasonic...

    Basic wiring hook up

    I've searched but can't seem to find some simple answers. I have E*, and planning on upgrading to HD (811 box I pressume). I currently have no OTA, and have two receivers (301 and 501). Will swap the 301 for the 811. I plan on running a 300'-400' of coax to an antenna at the top of a hill...

    Dish vs. TWC

    I am thinking about switching from Dish to TWC to take advantage of TWC "switch offer" of $29.95/mo. + $5 for each movie channel, and get HD locals. I do not have HD currently. How long do I have to be off Dish to be considered a new customer, seems a new customer gets better deals (and newer...
