DishStore.NET -> Great support to this forum!!! Cheers. = J =

Thanks! sometimes the solution is in front of your eyes and you don't see it :) would I lose any channel that is in 61.5 and not in 129? they used to be mirrors but I guess they are not anymore. Cheers. = J =

thanks! so what is the recommendation? should I upgrade my 500 and get installed the 1000? those HD locals in 129 won't get replicated in 61.5, that is the other dish I have, right? and I guess I would have to pay for the installation anyway, even if I don't do any dish upgrade...

Hi, I have a 942 and two dishes, one 500 pointing to 110/119 and a regular one pointing to 61.5. I'm located in SF Bay area and have a good lock on HD OTA channels. I want to upgrade my leased 942 to a 622 and I was wondering if I need to upgrade my dish as well in order to get the HD...

Do a search, I remember seeing some threads talking about burning DVDs with a 942 and several DVD standalone recorders. I believe you can hook up either your component out to a few DVD recorders and s-video (not sure if 942 has it) or composite to most of them and burn a dvd. = J =

If you think that's the best, and DISH didn't want to do that but digging, I would buy the wooden poll and neccessary brackets, then call a different local retailer/installer and thell them to go and install it there (or just ask them to take a look first). They will just probably do the rest of...

You don't need to have a 18 month contract, you can go month to month. Several suggestions here: - ask the complex to give you permission? - talk to your local installer and ask for a quote to do the installation (your neighbor will probably still have to give you permission or just...

That is great! I didn't realize that most locals are on 110/119. If the switch is just the same, that would be awesome, I can probably talk to the installer and see if he can just leave it in 61.5. I wouldn't even cancel the locals, I'd just add voom (since i already ordered the hd package)...

Hi all, I finally pulled the trigger and I have the installer coming over in a couple of days (for a 4 TV installation.) I live in SF area, when I made the order they said I may need a 2nd dish for locals and it will be free. I asked for VOOM and they said a $199 charge would apply for...

As SimpleSimon mentioned, tuners and outputs are different. The two dish tuners in 942 are able to record HD but TV2 doesn't have component output and therefore you cannot watch HD content (only downconverted) in TV2. So my two questions are: 1.- Once a HD program is recorded using the tuner...

I'm trying to get more recording hours. I want to dedicate the 942 to HD recordings and the tivo for SD recording. I added a hard drive to my tivo so my recording time is much longer, I wish I could do the same for the 942. I was thinking of having a dedicated dish DVR for that matter but...

Hi all, I'm still trying to design my whole setup before ordering anything and I'd really appreciate any suggestion. Having my standalone tivo hooked to a 942 would save me a dish DVR that I could use in another room. So what would be the best setup to have a 942 hooked up with a...

Ken, can you list the Tivo IR code that is working with your 942? Thanks. = J =

Great idea!! Since they are giving away now 2 dual tuner DVRs with the antenna, switches & hardware and they are installing it all for free, well, only $49, well, only if don't have to pay $100 for an extra dish, well, only if you don't get a HD DVR for $250 lease, that would be initial $400...

I don't believe it's worth $1600. Maybe if you count the MSRP, you can buy a new 942 for $600 nowdays, you're paying $250 for a lease and you have to keep certain programming to keep it so they make sure the $$$ get in every month. On the other side they don't even state that has to be new...

VOOM VOOM VOOM... those good old days! :) they were really trying! too bad they couldn't make it. I even remember they had the tennis channel, that we probably won't ever see it either in dish or directv. = J =

Thank you for the welcome :) yes, Name Based recording is one of the tivo-like feature I would definitely like to see in the 510 (or any receiver). When do you think it's going to get it? I'd probably be somewhat happy with one 942 and two 510s (with Name Based recording) although another...

Hi, I was ready to sign up for Dish, I figured it out what I wanted and then I called them but I got a big surprise that made me not to sign up. Dish newest deal says that will allow you watch programming in 4 tvs. This is not true if you choose the newest DVRs. You may think they will...

that's my top priority right now!!!! I've been looking all over the internet for any news but it looks like it is in a sleeping state. This is one of the channels it would make me go one way or another if any sat company would decide to get it. For soccer lovers, specially if you like...

Standalone Tivos got a small IR emitter attached to a cord that plugs into the Tivo box. You can use it to put it on the receiver if you have problems with the normal way that Tivo uses to change channels, that is sending a IR signal that bounces back to the receiver. = J =

I checked the specs and it looks like the TV2 remote for 942 and 625 is UHF, so I'm not sure if that would work for Tivo (I have an old series 1) or the sensor in the receiver will just pick regular IR signal for TV2 (as it does for TV1.) Does somebody know? Thanks. = J =

I'm very interested in the possibility of hooking my standalone tivo to the 942. My question is, with the 942 dual tuner, isn't it possible to "hook" the tivo to the second tuner (as if it was a second tv) and make the tivo change the channels only for that second tuner while the dish 942...

Hi, I'm a new-to-be subscriber and I would like to hear some opinions about if it's better to lease or to buy the 942. Is it worth it to give $250 away for leasing vs. paying $600 and whatever for owning it? If (or when) an mpeg4 upgrade happens, do you guys think the owners will get a...
