Hello, I got a new DPP LNB off eBay. I just noticed that the white cover on the LNB is cracked. Does this make the LNB unusable?

Hello, I moved and I am getting used DishPro gear for the new place. I got my first of two dishes today. For fun, I put on the new I-adaptor I got from dishstore.net and I started to adjust the skew for 61.5 to set it at 90. But I noticed that a setting of 92 would seem to make the setup...

I played an R-5000 AVC SD sample which played as I had expected in Quicktime 7.0.1 without problems. But the newest point release of QT won't play it. An AVC HD sample wouldn't play in QT. However, I have played AVC HD samples that had been converted from MPEG2-TS files from an OTA source.

Yes, I have seen swift banning for people who ostensibly want to get programming for free. The R-5000 sounds like a legal modification. I have tried joining FTA/MPEG2 What's Up There Forum to find FTA HD without success twice without any explanation of action taken. Tough crowd that FTA...

My HDTV regurgitates SD; so, I structure my various subscriptions from Comcast and Dish to maximize HD and minimize SD. That said, Dish wants about $37 per month just for the new HD package without locals plus fees. Dish has not offered an "ownership" deal for people like me who own an 811...

If I see the last five words one more time, I may be driven to rent the original Planet of the Apes.:D

Samsung says the cure is to turn off the DLP, wait for the lamp and fan cycle, turn it back on, then call your satellite provider about the problem with its set-top-box.

Has anyone experienced what looks like a frozen black and white X-ray picture caused by the Dish 811? I try to change DVI input on the switcher and to component on the HDTV but nothing happens. My HDTV is a DLP; so I am trying to figure out if a service call is in order. It happened again...

You have a right under the FCC OTARD rules to put up an antenna on your roof assuming you own it. The rules preempt homeowners association rules. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html You will need to put up a large antenna for 80 miles and make sure your pre-amp is UHF and VHF. I...

Isn't the new HD Pack at $29.99 per the Some Dish Info in the DN forum.

$29.99 rate for new HD Package plus a $6.00 access fee equals $35.99 bill without locals.

I hope so but:

Whoa Nelly! Cue giant sucking sound coming from Dish 811. HD only increases by $16, including the increase in the access fee. And at $29.99, there is still the requirement of the access fee. DISH Family at a lower $19.99 does not require the access fee. This is unfair! If the new price...

That's a good pun!

Vonage works with my 811. I have used Dish Home to check my bill. I imagine this goes over the Vonage line.

Though I thoroughly enjoy visiting AVS, there is a constituency there that will be unrelenting in defending HD-Lite. You will get the message out.

Terk antennas = junk

So, was the term "true HD" used during the Chat? I only know of three recognized HD formats and they are 1920 x 1080p, 1920 x 1080i and 1280 x 720p. If you are concerned and so inclined, then contact your state's consumer protection unit most likely organized within your state's Office of...

I own an 811 and sub just to the HD Pak. I want a good replacement deal where I still own my box and I sub to just the new HD Pak. I just want the HD channels. There should be no commitment as to time or taking of blurry SD channels because Dish is forcing the replacement.

The why is the HD Pak now being priced at 19.95 if not a stand alone?

I have seen the new HD Pak quoted at 19.95. Maybe, there will still be a stand alone HD Pak?

My local CBS-HD looks awesome on my DLP. The problem is that when E* tried 720p, its encoders were poorly set.

I concur.

The info had already been discussed in the Dish HDTV forum by someone else before the AVS post. And that person has already been chided. I don't see the problem since a period of time passed and it brought traffic here.
