I would definitely welcome an option for an integrated approach. 3 sat tuners plus 1 ota tuner does NOT cut it for a decent amount of series/timers and 3 joey's plus the hopper. You can manage the 2nd hopper if you baby it every week but 6/8 tuners with the software controlling the timers and...

I had my hopper and joey system installed last week and the tech originally installed the older hopper and he had to swap it out with the newer one after I mentioned that it should be the HWS. He wasn't very happy bout that but he also didn't read the work order properly..

Isn't installation already free? http://www.dish.com/dishdeals/?WT.svl=mainnav shows free professional installation and their is no upfront cost for the equipment.

Please buy some bulk RG6 from lowes or home depot or your local dish/direct/cable truck sitting somewhere and not anything they try to throw at you at radio shack. Nothing but problems come from radio shack...atleast in the CATV industry it seems. Also, compression fittings are the only thing...

THAT is a very good point, and the non "standard" resolutions are something i was aware of from back in the day of rainbow and Voom when dish claimed there was a temporary uplink problem but it never even crossed my mind that it would be a factor if the box sent it out like that... it makes...

is there any reason why these receivers don't have a "native resolution" output setting? All of the newer comcast boxes have a native resolution passthrough, or options to select all the formats your tv supports and then the receiver will go from there. On the dish boxes, I have to pick 1...

I haven't had any issues at all with mine, I've only had it for about 5 days though. I think it is by far the best reciever I have ever used or seen from any company. It would be neat if they could add streaming video from youtube or your own media server atleast that would be a great addition...

Given the choice, would you guys have eastern or western arc installed in your house? I have Eastern currently, but have the option to go western as well for about $25. For anybody thats had both or has compared both, would you make a preference over one or the other? I heard the western arc...

I my area (Twin Cities, MN) I've never dealt with a contractor from Dish - I've always had DNS Employees and I've had nothing but good luck with them. I just had a guy out today and he was fantastic! I wish I could request him specifically for future work. Around here, the Dish guys seem quite...

Before I get too far, I want to say out of "disclosure" that I'm a field services Lead Tech for Comcast Inhouse. That being said, I moved recently and at my previous house I had Dish, along with Comcast. I get Comcast for free, just have to pay for anything above 2 boxes. When I moved in, I...

I can say 99 times out of 100 when I encounter DIY wiring in a customers home, the problem lies at one of 3 main spots - 1. - Bad Fittings. (screw on, crimp on, etc - people seem to thing braiding sticking out is good? Wrong.) Get a compression tool, and some Digicon or PPC fittings. 2...

My reciever doesn't even have 1080p as a option - just 720p and 1080i....does it still pass the 1080p video through?

I wonder if they would be like the old Motorola VOOM Boxes that worked as OTA tuners even after voom itself ceased to broadcast as a company? That would be nice!

For everybody that has ordered this from dish - Are you recieving 1 or 2 remotes? I found people on Ebay selling the remotes as TV1 and TV2 set (TV1 = IR, TV2=IR+UHF)...but everybody on here seems to be referring to their shipment from dish as a single remote. Heres the ebay listing im...

I'm not sure what the installers for Dish make, but if its like my counterparts its not peanuts as far as im concerned lol. BUT, that being said i already stopped and got cash for the tech for a tip. I don't do many actual installs anymore, I mainly do escalations, chronic trouble calls...

I get Comcast for free, so I'll still have the HDDVRs on most the tvs, and regular digital boxes on the remaining but I just like some of the HD programming on dish that Comcast doesnt carry along with the Sirius music channels. I also like the expandability of the DVRs for more storage. So...

Yeah, I took that into consideration but the techs around here are pretty much always corporate. Also, I will have all the jacks/lines for the recieves and TV2 ran before hand aside from the lines from the housebox to the dishes themself which the tech is more then welcome to use for the...

Thanks for the tip on the diplexers causing signal loss - i'm used to a 2way splitter causing a 3.5db loss in the cable world but didnt even take that into consideration for the OTA antenna. I will try to confirm that wind dish working off of the in port on the 1000.4 setup, as it will...

Good evening! I'm having dish installed at my new house on thurs, and I'm wondering what dish will/won't include with the install as far as parts go. I'm getting a 1000.4 dish (eastern Arc, twincities, mn 55448) plus I'd like a aux dish at 117.5 (I already have a few extra dishs and LNBs)...

As long as the splitters are hooked up correctly you will be fine, just make sure the single port is facing your TV and the side with 2 ports are where the inputs from the comcast feed and dishnet feed go. I know it sounds simple, but you'd be amazed at some of the stuff I've seen...

It WASN'T in the software though until they took time to develop, test, and implement it. Why have a HD reciever if you don't have a hdtv? possibly for dolby digital, but other then that there wouldn't be a reason. It cost dish more for HD boxes, why give you one if you dont even use the HD...

Interestingly enough, this same thing went on in my area recently. I'm sure end results would vary from company to company, and even from system to system within the same company. What happened here was that a directv installer used the line in the lockbox that runs to the customers apartment...

I don't see why anybody would care one way or another? Maybe I'm really laid back, but I just don't see how it hurts anything no matter what its for...which we don't know what that is yet even. Do you think the cable COs don't know what you're watching on the Viddo On Demand and linear...

I'm in the northern suburbs of minneapolis, and we have HD LIL, along with CBS HD from NY. Our services were turned off for a week as we explored comcasts offerings for HD, and then when we turned the dish stuff back on last week, they reactivated everything and added CBSHD from NY no problem...
