Thanks for the tip! I just did a google image search for defective capacitors and saw some examples of what you're referring to.

Well, I cracked open the case on the bad 211 last night. I didn't see anything obviously wrong with the power board, so I decided to go ahead and do the swap between the two receivers. A couple of the cable connections were a little tough to get loose, but otherwise it was a very simple...

I'll crack the case and take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!

It does cost some coin to make the initial purchase, but when combined with Sage TV can pay for itself in a few years. There's no fees associated with a 211 except for being a second receiver.

I bought 2 211 receivers from dishstore.net about a year ago, and one of them stopped working the other day. The power light was on, but there was no picture. I tried power cycling, unplugging and replugging, and unplugging and waiting an hour or so and then replugging. In all cases, the...

I'm paying 29.99 without locals, so 34.99 with sounds correct.

I agree with the other replies. One point of clarification though, most of the time you'll see the 1212 referred to as the Hauppauge HD PVR.

There's a $15 off for 12 month deal on the Dish web site now, but it's for new customers only.

EncoreHD is also included in the Turbo HD Gold package.

Will Dish repoint 61.5 dishes for free? As mentioned above, a couple of the SD Roanoke locals are on 61.5. A few years ago Dish installed a 61.5 dish at my mother's house so she could get those channels. Since they put the HD locals on 129, will they send out an installer to repoint the dish...

Well, now you've fooled me twice. That sounded like a pretty reasonable explanation to me. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info! Sounds like you really know your stuff. Your mention of lightly loaded circuits not having much effect kind made think of something else going on at my mother's place. When she runs her microwave, the picture on her kitchen TV can get a little flakey. I know the coax in...

I could hook up the coax, but the electric wires won't be energized until the walls are closed up. Thanks for the idea though. I did talk to one of the communications guys here at work this morning. He didn't think there would be a problem, but wasn't totally sure. He runs ethernet and...

My mother is having a sun room added on to the back of her house and will be using a Dish network 722 receiver in the room. I asked the electricians to run 3 runs of coax and one cat5e to each potential TV location in the room. I also asked them to try to keep it separated from the electric...

The guy that installed my Mom's new 722 last week didn't even have component. He took a couple sets of composite cables and used them as a poor man's component cable. I ordered her a Monoprice HDMI which works great. It's kind of hard to believe how cheap Dish is getting these days. If...

I upgraded my mother from a 721 to a 722 last week. The 722 seems like a pretty good DVR, although it can get a little slow when recording more than one program while watching another. The OTA tuner could be a little better too, but in general she's pretty happy with it. I used to have Dish a...

And dreaming he has 75 national HD channels.

Both stores run their sales from Sunday through Saturday, so the prices are going to change as one sale ends and the next begins.

I don't have Dish network anymore so don't know the new equipment, but in general I'd think an installer should be able to figure out in a very few minutes whether or not you can hit 129. I'd think all they'd have to do is put a single dish with a single lnb, set the skew and elevation...

I had Dish for 7 years and my Mother still does. I've always thought it was pretty cool how you know a minute or two before a heavy downpour comes because the dish goes out. Usually, by the time the downpour actually gets here the signal is back on. Outages are pretty rare for us too, it...

I got Mom set up this weekend. After talking it over, we decided to just turn off the dish in the spare bedroom. There's hardly ever anyone in there watching it. This removed the need for new lnb's and I sent both existing feeds to the 721 in the living room. I send the output from the...

Thanks for the help guys. Mike

Thanks Gary! I'd pretty much figured that out from reading the info on Dishstore.net's web site, but wasn't 100% sure. The pdf file on the DPP Twin page said the 721 would be supported with a future software release. I think the document was a little out of date though. Am I safe in...

I'm trying to replace a second receiver that has gone bad at my mother's house. She currently has a 510 in her living room and a very old receiver, the one that went bad in her guest bedroom. I don't have Dish anymore, so I'm going to give her my old 721. This is where the problem comes in...

The channel selection is limited compared with pizza dish. I get HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Discovery and will probably sub to NFLHD which is supposed to be available on 4dtv any day now. The nice thing about these is that they are all the master feeds straight from the source. You don't have...
