Not this guy. I dumped all subscription TV around 4 years ago, and will likely never go back. Not that we can't afford it, as we comfortably can. But I feel there is not enough value for the price being charged. OTA HD, DVD rentals, and online streaming are quite sufficient for us.

Back then it was also considered a luxury... seems most people today consider it more of a necessity of life. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them we only watch OTA.

That's exactly what I was going to say... all the Chinese in my neighborhood use FTA, mostly pointed at IA5.

I'm paying $8.31 a month for mine (the new S3). Prepay 2 years for $299 and they are throwing in a 3rd year for free.

A followup question.. I am also about to have a DISH 1000 installed. I already have two lines pulled to my entertainment center and don't want to pull anymore. Can I diplex the output from the DPP Twin with my OTA reciever? If so, would it matter whether I pulled the OTA signal out before or...

In Dallas, KDFI (27) is now a My Network TV affiliate.

I'm about 10 miles east of Wylie and I pick every Dallas OTA station just fine. I've got an unamplified 12 foot uhf/vhf antenna in my attic. In fact, I had to install an antennuator on it because KDFW-4 was getting overdriven to the point of locking up my OTA box. I wouldn't think Princeton...

When we called to cancel, we were hung up on 3 different times.

Hello, I've had either D* or E* for the past 10 years, so I am familiar with rain fade in all it's variants. However, I just started having a strange problem with the signal dropping out in the rain... it doesn't fade out.. it does a sudden and complete nosedrop from 90s to 0. When it...

If he is under the DHA plan, it says in the contract that you must maintain a minimum of AT60 or higher.

Just curious as to why you would want to keep the HD Pkg if you are installing Voom?

Not to harp or go off topic... but I just dumped E* this week over HD. I was paying, in essence, $44 a month for HD... I leased an 811, so I had to take the AT60 and the HD Package. I found I was spending 95% or more of my TV watching time on the my OTA Locals (and still had to pay for...

Interesting enough.... if I put the 811 on 720p, I measure 3% overscan (per HDNNET test pattern and the FOX logo being right at the corner). If I put the 811 on 1080i (which is what my TV supports natively ... 720p is converted to 1080i), I get about 14% overscan. Unfortunately, other...

I think that I would have rather bought my own equipment and installed it myself. After installing D* at 3 residences and Dway on my own, I really didn't want someone mucking around my attic and HT setup. But, I bit the bullet and let them do it. Sort of.... I ran all the cabling both inside...

There are a few FTA channels on the Dish network satellites you could use a circular LNB for. Not many. But a few. On 119 the NASA Channel and the radio channels are broadcast in the clear. I won't comment beyond that because I value my membership in the forum and would prefer not to make...

Hello, I've been on the dish DHA plan for a year, after 9 years with Directv. I've come to the realization that I am spending 95% of my time watching my OTA digital channels (In Dallas, that's just about every station). So, I'm no longer going to spend money on Satellite TV. (Hint to...

Dang... SimpleSimon I had my reply all typed out, then noticed there was one post on page 2, and you said exactly what I had just typed up... right down to the quotes around "push" and "pull". Spooky! "I think I'll hold on to the $50.00 (at least) a year I used to spend on mailing bills. I...

You may want to ask your question over in the FTA forum, where they have more experience with linear Ku equipment, like your Pansat.

Interesting.... I guess I should have tried harder to find codes for my DVD recorder... I was only testing the power button.... Anyone have a working code for the iLO/Liteon DVD recorder?

Are lease (DHA) customers allowed to do a vacation/seasonal disconnect? And, if so, are you charged lease fees during the disconnect period or just the $5 month hold fee?

If I put my account on seasonal hold, would I still be able to use the 811 as a standalone OTA HD STB? Can lease customers go on seasonal/vacation hold? If so, are receiver lease fees still charged during the hold, or is it just the standard hold fee ($5)?

Fox broadcasts in 720p... When typically have my 811 set to 1080i, and when I do so, I get the exact symptoms you describe on fox... the station bug is cut off both horizontally and vertically. This doesn't occur on other stations. If I switch the 811 to 720p, the picture is sized...

I just tried it again and it worked... so I don't know why it didn't fire last night.

According to the manual, it is supposed to.

I've had the 811 for a year now, but just bought a DVD recorder. I set a timer to record an program off an OTA HD channel last night. Since I couldn't find a remote code that would operate my DVD recorder, I set it as an auto-tune event, and set a separate timer on my DVD record. The DVD...
