It sure would be nice if they would carry the HD games that Comcast Sportnet Chicago have, but alas Dish's lack of proactivity in HD warrants a no chance for quite a while thought!

Do you have a switch of some kind inline on the cable (from Dish to receiver(s))? It so that could be going bad. Also do you have a surge protector that you run your cable through? That to could be bad. Try using a barrel connector to bypass the surge if you are using one for the cable.

If you have a 51" Mitsubish the it is either a SD TV or one of those stop-gap 4x3 HDTV's which use substandard components. If it is indeed a 4x3 HDTV then you must have some seriously bad problems with it if it looks worse then the RCA HDTV!

The biggest reason I have remained with the 6000 instead of going with a 811 is the fact that the 6000 can NOT be made to downres high def (when flagged) like the 811 does.

Use F-Connector boots and fill the connectors (before screwing them on) with dielectric grease. You will then never have to worry about water problems.

OpenTV weather is pitifully inaccurate! They need to go with another weather service because the current providor is horrible!

Also the 6000 can not be enabled to downres high def like the newer receivers such as the 811 can. This is important when broacasters start using flags to tell the equipment to downres video on HDTV's without Digital connections.

Another thing to note that hasn't been talked about and that is the fact that Dish has all leased equipment insured so they are not only going to recover the cost through their insurance but also stick it to the customer and end up profiting from this disaster! And if you think Dish does NOT...

:rolleyes: Such compasion. Geeeeez!

My GOD! If you actually believe what you have written above then you are a horrible person! To compare a mere theft of equipment to someone losing EVERYTHING in a Tornado is rediculous! Yes, legally Dish can demand payment for the lost equipment, BUT their is a human emotion called COMPASION...

If anyone is in the Wausau/Minoqua/Rhindlander/Tomahawk area you can contact an outstanding Dish retailer called Stargate Entertainment in Tomahawk # (715) 453-9030.

It is true receivers that have been taken out of the stream for months before they took the kill hit will retain programming for a while when reconnected months later, but it will eventually be killed as Dish send ECM's out that will take care of these rogue receivers.

You can buy a product called Hot Shot (by perfect 10) that you put on your dish and run a low voltage wire to an electric source and it will melt any snow or ice you get built up on the dish.

Of course not but what does that have to do with my response? The post prior to mine said Dish is not known to activate upgrades on their "receivers" not their 510's. Well my post remarks on Dish doing just that with their receivers by upgrading the 6000 receiver twice. Maybe you should read...

Actually they are well know for using the expansion port as they use both ports on the 6000. One expansion was for a OTA HD tuner and the other was to upgrade the 6000 to 8PSK.

Pixilazation is not caused by TV's being out of calibration. Pixilazation is caused by the content providor and their equipment. It's when there are missing bits that you start seeing pixils and it is the content providor's problems delivering a full digital bitstream that is the culprit. Cable...

The only 4200 RPM HD's are the 2.5" form factor drives (for notebooks). The HD used in PVR's are 3.5" form factor which start at 5400 RPM speeds.

There is no skew setting on Dish300 dishes. The original poster has a Dish300 NOT a Dish500 dish. Note he mentions a "SINGLE LNBF" dish (there are no single LNBF Dish500's).

1. As stated above the wiring will be done from the outside through the walls into the each room. If you have a basement then they can run the wires into the basement up through the first floor, floors. Second floor will need to be wired from the dish through the outter wall into the room. You...

Sounds more like a bad switch. What kind os switch(es) do you have? Try hooking a receiver directly to one dish only and see if it works. Unscrew from the input on the switch and plug into the input on the receiver.

Circle Surround is a proprietary audio surround codec that EPSN decided to go with instead of DD. God knows why the goofs at ESPN decided to use a non-standard surround format but you can bet the decision was made by the know-nothing suits who made a financial and not quality decision. I'll bet...

Don't be so alarmed from Freya1 post! It's much more likely you are simply pointing the dish300 at the wrong satellite instead of having a bad receiver. If you point at a DirecTV satellite you will get a signal but it will not lock. Also if you have the signal meter set at 119 and your still...

Echostar will usually roll out new SW versions on a limited release basis. In other words they release it to say 10,000 receivers at a time and do new batchs of receivers maybe every week or two. This way if there are any new feature that customer see Echostar is not bombarded by 100,000 of...

Your in dreamland if you think all those cable satellite companies will do anything collectively! And Echostar surely does have leverage! With 1.9 million less CBS network subs and 9 million less cable subs Viacom will have to refund huge amount of advertising dollars to the advertisers who have...

The reason is the others had their contract expire last year (or more then a year ago) and did new ones with Viacom before Viacom decided this year to start jacking up their prices and forcing packages on the content providers. If DirecTV or the other cable companies had to do new contracts this...
