I hate the 301 I happen to have a 301 in my bedroom that rarely gets viewed. We'll perhaps one or two times a week. I hate it for several reasons and will be swapping it out for an 811 as soon as my new HD set arrives. What do I not like? 1. The memory seems tiny and the program guide...

I did go over to the AVS forum threads but it's still not 100% clear to me what NBC is doing in HD. Is the following correct? NBC is producing a SINGLE HD feed that will consist of 8hrs/day of programming that will be broadcast 3-times/day on a one-day delay. This HD feed will be available...

Question, is this Dish HD feed that you are talking about simply going to duplicate what the local OTA NBC HD broadcasts are doing? Or is it something different. I went to the NBC web site and wasn't clear. Are all the local NBC HD OTA broadcasts going to be doing the same 24/hour 1-day...

Well, theoretically if you sold it to someone you knew well enough to trust, you could just *move* over to their new location and let them get the programming that you paid for anyway. Course I wouldn't want some stranger getting service under my name because they could run up the PPV bills...

cheaper just to run out the contract? If you signed on in Dec then it's probably cheaper just to run out your contract. Aug-Nov is only 4 more months. If you cut back your programming package to the most basic you can get away with on your contract that fee for four months should be a lot...

My bedroom and living room are adjacent with just a wall and door separating so I'm assuming that remote control will be no problem with one of the new remote extenders. I've never tried to do it but can't imagine it will be a problem.

Ahhh. I signed onto Dish 18 months ago and am pretty sure I'm on the digital home advantage plan. In any event, they told me I only need to swap out receivers, I don't need a new dish to upgrade to the 811 so the only installation involved is swapping receivers. So I'm not talking about...

right, I hadn't thought of a 2nd TV so I'll need 4! Guess I'll really need to run 4 coax cables into the living room because I'll probably ultimately want to control the TV in my bedroom from the 921 as well since I only watch one or the other TV at a time, almost never both at once. Four...

Scott: That's what I thought but when I was talking to the Dish customer service rep I made absolutely positive we were talking about the 811 lease package upgrade and not an outright purchase of the 811. He insisted that there was no longer a 1-year commitment on the lease. In any event...

Hi guys: I'm buying my first HD television and looking at leasing a Dish 811 receiver on an interim basis until I can locate/afford a 921 or its successor the 942 in a few months. Given that I eventually plan to have some sort of two-tuner HD receiver in my living room I want to make sure...

I'm buying a new HD set and have been getting mixed messages on Dish's program to ugrade existing customers to HD receivers. I'm currently a 2-receiver Dish SD customer and have met all my current contract commitments. I'm now looking at leasing an 811 receiver on an interim basis to get some...

no more 1 year commitment for 811 lease? Just got off the phone today with Dish and the customer service rep told me they didn't have any 1-year commitment for the 811 lease. Just the $50 "install" fee and the commitment to get the $9.95 HD package. I'm in the same boat. I currently have a...

OK, but your TV also has an OTA turner right? I've been reading all the criticisms of the lack of a 2nd OTA tuner in this thread. While I agree to some extent, it isn't quite the handicap you guys are making it out to be. The great majority of HD sets have built-in OTA tuners and there's no...
