let me explain something to you guys. Both Dish and Directv use primarily retail companies to do installes for them. The companies with the big contracts are required to have "x" number of employees. Since "x"number of employees is not enough to do all the work, they then hire contractors to...

Any subs out there who feel my pain on this one. It seems the supplies we have to buy keep getting higher and higher!! Especially connectors!!! Anyone have a cheap source?

I am with you Tom. I live in the Dallas Ft.Worth DMA and also got the call last night. I didn't go for it. They asked me why and I told them price point. They then replied so if it were free with no upfont cost you would do it? I then replied yes hoping to get that deal. No deal though...

the way to pick up the 119/129 on a dish 500 is to tune in 119 and 110. Then slowly turn the dish to the west. You will move off of 119 and begin to pick up another signal. This will be 129. You will need to raise the elevation just a bit to peak it out. Using this technique and adding a...

A Dual or a twin will work the same either way in a Dish Pro setup. I know you would think that the built in switches would interfere with each other but they don't. This setup works great. As a matter of fact I have my second dish (supposed to be for locals) pointed at 61.5 for the Voom...

Actually you can use a DP Twin with a DPP Twin I did Hundreds of installes in the last 8 months in Lubbock Texas. They have to have a second dish for their locals pointed at. 148. We have used the DP Twin/DDP Twin combonation flawlessly. Never once an issue. Our company uses the same setup...

That's great for all you D* guys but I think personally Dish still comes out on top of the game. I have 1 rec. and it's a 942. I'm loving it everytime I use it. Couldn't imagine ever switching back to Dish. Oh and by the way the Voom channels are an excellent Value as well. And also love...

Seriously bad things happening!! I got laid off of work do to downsizing. I'm scheduled for a route canal a week from Wedensday. My 942 got fried during a thunderstorm 3 days ago. :( :( :( And to top it all off my dog was diagnosed with cancer. There is still one ray of hope in my life...

I agree with Barry on this. You should have asked what your first bill would be after tax. Then the Csr would have left the screen giving the package price and into the screen giving the mo. total thus informing you it would be 24 something a mo. Then you would have started asking questions...

If you are leasing any Dish HD equipment you must subscribe at least to the HD Pak. It is free for the first six months. Then it $9.99 after that. If you own your equipment you do not have to subscribe to an HD pak.

I do not believe Dish will allow you to transfer your service into your Family memebers name until your commitment is up. I could be wrong on this but I do believe that is the way it is. As for the phone line, It does not have to be connected. The only time Dish Requires the boxes to be...

On the 942's dvr timer screen you have an option on the right side of the screen to select Dish Pass. If you select this and set it up on the Dish Pass screen it will record everything that you've told it to. I'm a big Nascar junkie so I did this. I went into Dish Pass and typed in Nascar...

Congrats, Another second Dish for locals gone VOOM! Enjoy the HD!

A lot of these folks are older folks that are trying to get a cheaper basic cable bill. Which is exactly what they get through Dish Net. The downside is they've never even had digital cable most of the time and they are used to one power button, ch. up, ch. down and volume (they don't even use...

If These are my only options I believe #1 to be the best. However I think bcsheilds has the best idea. Have all installers carry a few "simplified" remotes for the tech challenged folks and leave them with that one instead of the normal one. Dish warehouse begins to have too many normal...

Just move the thing slowly to the West. The first signal you get will be from 119. Then peak it out moving left and right on that signal. Once peaked tighten the azmith bolts (2 bolts in back that keep the dish from moving left or right. Then peak the elevation moving dish up and down. Then...

You'll have to be persistant about them sending you a replacement rec. They will try to weasil their way around it but persistance should pay off.

That makes sense That makes sense. If that is so, I wonder why they didn't enable it to begin with? It shows you the option to on the screen but won't allow you to move to that option. Strange. Oh well. I did just find out that my local Fox staion 034-01 is broadcasting Upn at 034-02...

Is there any way to get the 942 to scan both digital and analog OTA channles??? In the local channel setup screen on my reciever it shows the scan for both but will only allow me to scan digital. Is there any way around this? Please help!! I sometimes have too week of a signal to pick up the...

It's too bad you did'nt get the 942 when you upgraded because the both the SD and HD are uncomparable to any other reciever I've seen from Directv or Dish Network. I've noticed the SD (standard digital) on all the other recievers when being ran through an HD moniter to show a lot of...

Thanks for the input!

This may be a dumb question but... Just wondering about 5.1 surround. Are all shows in HD on the Voom and HD pack in DD 5.1?? I've noticed that some of the Voom programs show 5.1 on the info screen and some don't. But they all for the most part seem to be in DD 5.1 or DD 2.1 at least. Does...

When I say auto tune, I mean the auto tune timer. You know the timer you can create that will change the channel automatically (just like the DVR timer but without recording) to find this simply go in to a program to set up a record timer and you will see DVR, Auto tune, reminder. then below...
