    tivo vs dish/generic PVR's

    i had a tivo series 2 (directv) for over a year. liked it, but the guide and menus were slow. It would take 10+ seconds to fill the guide- paging through the guide was a pain, waiting 10 seconds for every page to fill in. The menu system is also real slow-also I had problem with the tivo...

    Problems with 625

    Thanks for the info simplesimon- i like learning something new- i incorectly assumed it was required. I assumed this because I worked for dtv for a few years, and they are absolute phone line freaks- absolutley must be instaled and dtv asks when you activate. Our dtv hsp (i have friends that...

    Problems with 625

    when you say "dish tech" i think you are refering to dish network itself right, not local dealers- because the local retailer I worked for understood that it was required from dish

    Problems with 625

    bcshields- echostar is paying you or your retailer for a standard pro install. You better check with your boss because a standard install includes a standard phone jack installed to dual tuner recievers. just like it includes rg6 cable installed (standard,through 1 wall,no fish) to each reciever.

    First Look - Dish Whole House HD/SD Solution?

    A dish guy I talked to said the next big thing from dish would be wireless- like a wireless multiswitch (still lines from the dish(s) to the switch). But when I asked him about the mesh superdish he hadn't heard about it.

    satellite receivers

    Every dish network reciever i have ever seen is made by echostar. You can use any (dishnetwork)reciever model if your 500 dish is a legacy model, if you have a 500 pro you would need a pro adapter for older e* equipment. Anything with a brand name(sony,panasonic,hughes,phillips) is...

    Dish Network installs and dual tuner backfeeds question

    too bad a dpp44 is like $180. I have yet to put one in a residential install. we use them in appartments all the time because of the 1 line situation in virtually every appt Since we are a superdish market i never see 500 dishes on new installs. Is every 500 lnb DPP+ now? Also, we have had...

    My SuperSish 121W Install

    You might want to consider changing those cables out- most store cable has minimal braided shielding(if any at all), not to mention bad crimp on ends. A lot of guys just use self tapping screws and shoot them through the dish (no bracket needed) when placing the switch outside. The switch...

    International subscribers in our area getting screwed by Dish

    61.5 has french tv5, which is not on the 121 There are also other channels only on the 61.5-I think some muslim channels are there also. We found this out the hard way after installing a 121 superdish then the customer called up and wanted tv5 dish told them there was a charge for this second...

    E* full of it when cancelling?

    dude come on- 70 bucks for a dvr and a hd box and the services to feed both- you better read the fine print. Everyone around here hates charter, as they charge 56 a month for 1 digital box and dig expanded basic (no hbo etc) Does charter have a dual tuner dvr with two outputs so you can watch...
