    New appreciation of Dish.

    Plasma's typically consume more power than most lcds, to me though its not likely to break the bank. I do not like 120hz lcds at all, to me it makes the motion look unnatural and makes Blu-rays and DVDs look like they were shot on video. I love my Pioneer plasma and hope not to upgrade til 3D...

    Echostar FCC 86.5W LIL HD filing

    Don't really understand the technical conversation here, but I live in Southwest Georgia and my local HDs are on the western arc (129) and are at a 30 degree elevation. Could this satellite be something they will use to move our locals to an eastern arc with a higher elevation, making it easier...

    Buying receivers without cards?

    Let me see if I understand this correctly, if I have finished my 2 year contract and I would like to add a second receiver, do I have to sign a new contract or do they just add the second receiver to my account?

    Buying receivers without cards?

    What benefit is there for purchasing your own receiver? I can't think of one. What am I missing?

    Been With DISH 48 Hours And Am NOT Happy!

    He shouldn't have to, that's the job of the company he's paying money to do the job right and if they mess up they should fix it promptly.

    Are Locals going to move Sats with new additions?

    I am in the Albany, Ga DMA and our locals (HD) are on the 129 sat, which I don't understand at all. It puts it so low in the sky compared to the other sats, that it must cause a lot of LOS issues. My question is will Dish be moving the locals around anytime soon, now that they are planning to...

    question on vip 722k

    If the 722 is your main receiver then you are not charged the extra receiver fee. I believe you would be charged the DVR fee though, unless they can disable it, which I don't know.

    Which Sats will I need to "see".

    Thanks for the reply, thats what I thought. I don't really care if I get the SD locals or not, as long as I have the HDs. I will also be using an OTA to double up on HD locals.

    Which Sats will I need to "see".

    How do I determine what satellites I will need to "see" to get Dish network? I know my local HDs are on 129*. So I assume I would be using the 110/119/129 setup, is this correct? I live in Pelham, GA. Its in southwest Georgia. I will subscribe to either the 200 or 250 programing packages...

    New Customer - Should I be concerned?

    The 922 has the main tv out in HD and then it has the sling out, it does not have TV1, TV2 and Sling, it only has TV1 and Sling. Thats why I am getting the 722 it has TV1 and TV2 but no sling. Originally it looked like they were going to have a TV1, TV2 and Sling but when it was released there...

    Question about install prep?

    I am in the process of getting Dish network. I have installed an OTA antenna and thought while I am running cable from the antenna to my tv that I would run the cables for the sat into the house also. The antenna will be connected to a grounding block on the outside and thats the point I would...

    will 722 get software upgrade similar to 922?

    Will the 722/k get an upgrade to the menu software that the 922 has. The GUI on the 922 is much better than the 722 and would be great if the 722 got this upgrade. Anyone heard anything? I understand most features will not work like the 922 but just a simple GUI update would be great.

    When will SD "go away"?

    I always thought that to do the move from SD / HD to HD they would have to replace all the legacy SD receivers in people's homes that do not have HD tvs. I would imagine many older receivers cannot receive an HD channel and downconvert to SD, they just don't have the correct hardware to handle...
