    Power inserter questions ??

    I can't help you with the power inserter issue but I do have one of those electric chain saws on a stick and a telescoping manual pruning shears/saw thing that you can use if you need them. The other B....

    Newb Satellite Question

    As a relatively Newb as well, I have had many of the very same questions as Mongo53 has. We also share the same reasons for switching to Satellite TV, the burning desire to fire Comcast. (The reasons for that would fill another thread - and there are no surprises as to why.) I may be just a...

    DISH NETWORK TOPS SATELLITE AND CABLE IN AMERICAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX

    As I continue to prepare the structured wiring upgrade in my home prior to firing Comcast :rant: and switching to Dish, I read the various posts on SG every day. I read through threads such as this one and others that start with opposing opinions in order to gain some perspective on what issues...

    Convince Me That Dish is Better

    After reading the entire thread I must tip my hat to you and yours ThoughtsofTHATmom. You are a great American! I only wish that the countless others had even a hint of the courage and the integrity that you do. :up

    OK, thanks.

    622 vs. 722k

    Wow! Is that right? Why on earth would they design it that way? I seem to recall reading that the OTA program listings gets incorporated into the program guide for the receiver when you add the OTA module. Is that correct? :confused:

    DISH vs. Comcast?

    I am going to switch from Comcast to Dish very soon. Comcast customer dis-service is horrible! They have an antagonistic relationship with their customers that has caused me to look at alternatives and led me to Dish. I can't wait to fire them. As soon as I complete the structured wiring...

    Anyone Compare Component vs. HDMI HD Picture Quality?

    Will the HDMI out on a 722K send audio along with HD video? I understand that it will in "most" circumstances but there is a comment in the manual that says that L +R cables may also be required. Is there a certain cable spec that is required for audio + HD video transmission. I am planning...

    #1 UHF Remote Questions...

    Do I understand that I can use three separate remote controls, one IR for TV1, a second UHF Pro remote for TV 1, and a third UHF Pro remote for TV2, all to control one 722K? Is there a limit on how many UHF remote controls that can be used on a 722K? I seem to recall reading about pairing...

    612 or 211 with EHD?

    My mission is to be able to occasionally physically move and view the HD content on the EHD at a second location where there will be an HD receiver. It won't happen often enough to make me want to deal with the care and feeding of a second DVR at that location. Doing it over a network would be...

    612 or 211 with EHD?

    First, I hope that my question has a simple answer and y'all can get back to the question in the OP. I am not yet a Dish subscriber but I am getting very close to pulling the trigger (on Comcast :mad:). I have been reading a lot of threads about EHD use and various receivers and this one hits...

    Will you cancel Dish because of the new receiver pricing?

    I am not a Dish subscriber yet due to the changes in the plans. In November I was hot to trot to switch from Comcast and install two 722 receivers and a third SD receiver. When the news about the rate increases started to surface in December I decided to put the project on hold. I am still...

    Non standard configuration

    Yes, please do! I am planning a new installation and will be doing the same thing. I thought that it would be easy by just using an analog frequency agile multi-channel modulator and inserting the new home-made channels along with the OTA antenna feed to the OTA tuners. I have since learned...

    A few questions before I commit...

    I have a few quick questions before I commit to pulling the plug on Comcast and switching to DishNetwork. 1) Is the SD picture quality from the TV2 output of a 722K comparable to cable? Is there a difference in SD picture quality from a SD receiver any different? The reason that I ask this...

    Press release from DISH

    Wow! As a newbie, the more I read here on SatelliteGuys the more impressed I am with what I see - but this thread seals the deal! :up I can't begin to tell you all how refreshing and encouraging it is to see. I commend Dish Network for taking the stand that they did and sticking to their...
