    Way back when, I think it might have been a 721-722? used a powered hdmi 4 port splitter and a couple of good quality 50 foot and a 25 foot hdmi cables. Worked well, but the cables were a bitch to run. Was used for 1080 p if I remember correctly. Went hopper - joey after that and don't know...

    Used to use 2 fingers to check for dead cylinder on race care engines by touching the exhaust headers where they came out of the cylinder head. Didn't touch for very long!

    DNLA, My thoughts

    Confirm equipment with installer when he calls to confirm the dish appointment (especially Duo Nodes

    They (Dish this area) had only installed a couple of Hopper/Joey setups, and had not installed a 2 Hopper 2 Joey setup yet so they are still learning. :-) I was not suprised, it was like I expected. bcw

    RG6 Cabling Requirements for Hopper vs DPP

    More or less same problem in Cortez, Co. except it's 129, transponder 10 which is aimed at Albuquerque, and Cortez is on the edge of the beam. Why Cortez is in the Alb. DMA instead of Denver is still a sore point with me. bcw

    trying to find galaxy28

    NET is moving from Galaxy 26 at 93 degrees west longitude (4DTV Tile T6) to Galaxy 28 at 89 degrees west longitude (4DTV Tile T4). Read the information on 613, it is correct. The very nice person you talked to was misinformed.

    The 811 has bugs. They will be fixed sometime. I have an 811 to play with now. I don't have to wait a year or two.
