Hi all, I have to admit...I cancelled my dish DHP this past month and went back to comcast. I had to have local HD and comcast now offers it. I do miss my PVR. But I now have a dish 6000 & 510 sitting around doing nothing. I am planning on selling the 6000 on ebay, once I get off my ass...

Picture size is also a big factor, I have a 55" and the picure quality (PQ) is okay, not great with Dish, but I am comparing SDTV to HDTV. On my smaller sets, 13" to 26" the PQ is very good and I have been very satisfied

If you have a TV that has an integrated tuner then you can watch OTA HD channels irregardless of having satellite or cable for that matter.

It that right you can run the 5XX signal to the 6000? Now that is interesting. I am currently splitting my 508 to two sets, so another may not work, but interesting that you can do that. good to know

Here is number you can call at echostar, she is in the waiver dept. Here name is Susie, it is (303) 723-3664. I hope I am not breaking any laws by posting this business phone #. But that is all she does is waivers for HD. Good Luck! --shich

That'a the down-side. Previously, I tried to get CBS-HD and talked to CRS who said I was not eligiblie, plain and simple, so I took their word. After further investigation and help from this forumn (THANKS SATELLITE GUYS) I now have CBS-HD. So, you must be educated going into the realm of...

I now have CBD-HD after two phone calls It was simple and fast. I. I emailed by local affiliate regarding a waiver. They forwarded the request to the approporiate people 2. They called me and got the info they needed, they faxed the waiver to dish 3. Dish called me the next day...

Yep, I seen it too. My HD channels, especially the OTA - HD signal is sometimes out of sync. Not all the time, but sometimes. With the technology in it's infancy this is what we have to deal with (for now). You just have to get used it. Reminds me of when USA network had Kung-Fu thearte...

I must say in Denver the PQ for locals is very good. I have a 6000 and getting the picture by running SD signal through the component cables and the SD PQ is very good, even on a 55" projection TV. So, we are pretty lucky in the that the locals here in Denver are very good. --Shich

I currently am having a distant station fax a waiver to echostar as of 3/25/04. I am waiting for dish to call me and tell me that the CBS-HD feed is up and going. FYI. I contacted my affliliate about the waiver and they forwarded my request to a contact person at echostar and they are...

Hey David, Who is the contact for the Denver CBS affiliate? I would like to get waiver myself and get Dish's CBS-HD. It would be a nice addition. --shich

Sapient, This morning (3/23) my 119 was out, but interestingly enough it was only on my 508 receiver and not any of my 301's. I did a hard boot on the 508 and did a switch test and the picture came back. --Shich

I am tempted to switch back to Cable. Comcast has is getting better with HD channels and with cable you can add as many TVs as you want and not have a required reciever in every room, such as satellite. I invested in the DVR and 6000, but am leasing the rest of the equipment. I am on the...

Good Point Sdc, This may be a breach of contract with Dish and their customers . If Dish customers are to leave, this may be the point in time to do so. It's affects the whole household from what I been reading. Registered users are running to the hills because the wife, kids, grandmas are...

I can understand Echostar's position, but unfortunately the customers are taking the hit as well....With March Madness staring in a week I can't wait weeks. I will have to drop Dish, eat whatever long-term contract I have, make up the loss by selling my equipment on E-bay and go with my local...

That is a sad commentary that we have to come up with these "tricks" to get the equipment to work. I feel for the wifes that have to go through these hoops to watch TV. Can you say "DOG HOUSE" here's a thought Dish, how about when I switch to an OTA channel, the signal comes in, locks, and...

Interesting comment on the OTA signal. With my 6000, if I go to a OTA ditigal signal, the meter reads 0%. I discovered if I switch over to a HD channel, say HBO-HD and then hit the recall button back the OTA DTV channel..presto! the meter jumps to 60-70% and locks. I have to "jump start"...

I thank all the beta-testers out there who are experiencing the fustrations with the 921....hopefully once the 921 is re-released it will be like...what 80% bug-free??? Anyway, keep the informative posts going. --Shich

Well, interesting note on the program information. The HD signal here in Denver does it. But only the local NBC is broadcasting info on what the station is playing. When I punch in guide using my mitubishi's integrated tuner. I see the program info, but my 6000 does not show it. Now I...

Well, As usually there is always a simple solution to a simple problem...thx Metfan

Hi all, I have the dish 510 and it's great. But I have one aggravation. It's that damn "dish" button. Have you noticed that this one button sits higher than all the other 40+ buttons on this remote??? So, when it gets stuck between the cushions of a couch or sitting fact down on an arm...

Website Commentary As I have looked and read from this amazing site and have become so addicted to it, I have some comments at to what I have seen here. Let’s see…the 921 receivers. The eagerly awaited state-of-the-art HDTV DVR that probably could communicate to the mars rover it’s so...

Wow..great systems eveyone. Here is mine: Denon AVR-1601 Denon 2800 progressive scan DVD Model 6000 satellite reciever Mitubishi HS-U778 S-VHS ET (no DVR yet) Cestion surround sound speakers Yamaha 80 W subwoofer and the crown jewel...a 55" Widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV

Hi all, I am curious, has anybody subscribed to this magazine? It is wor the $30+ to get? I can't use the cable guide that comes in my newspaper on sunday. --Shich
