    That gives me hope still, silentgarth... And frankly, you can look damn nice buying your clothes at Goodwill, so I don't want to hear that!!

    So, I tried....

    Thanks guys (even those that made fun of my typos)... I will get in touch with Claude, or I'm sure he'll post on here. I wasn't really concerned with cost, and I was prepared with the somewhat uncustomary tip, since I know tripod mounts cost more than 4 lag bolts... I will definitely post a...

    So, I tried....

    Here's my letter to CEO@echostar.com The crux is, I still really want TurboHD service. Are there any dealers out there that can actually help me? Thanks, Scott -------------------------- To whom it may concern: I am just writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my...

    How can we get ALL HD channels in South Florida with a single dish?

    I wish they would put 110/119/61.5 on the same dish...that would be one awesome looking dish! ;)

    RSN-HD Games Only?

    DISH seems to know how to carry a sporting event on their special event channels without getting cut off...I don't know if its automatic, but always watching the Reds game on the alternate channels, I've never missed a beat.

    YES Network!?

    Does DirecTV carry YES in their base tier?

    YES Network!?

    I agree...why would I want to pay for YES in my nationwide lineup? I'd rather have Fox Sports Cincinnati, if that's the game we're playing ;)

    UHF Pro Help

    Yeah, 2-way splitters if you're just adding it to the feed from TV2. Stay away from diplexers.

    Orioles Games on MASN

    MLB Blackouts are just nuts...I live in Lafayette Indiana (47909) and I get Fox Sports Midwest AND Comcast Sports Chicago on Dish... FSN MW mainly airs Cardinals games for me, which are always blacked out...however, a Reds game is always available in one of the "Alt" channels...plus I get all...

    Using DISH 811 with Harmony Remote 676

    Okay, I got suckered into a great deal on a Logitech Harmony 676...So far, I love it, but I've hit a snag. My DISH 811 uses UHF Pro (8.0) to operate. Is there a way to 'force' this receiver to use IR mode, instead of UHF? The Harmony 676 does not have UHF capabilities...can I make this...

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    Well, since I now pay $73 a month for AT200 plus locals, and two boxes, with NO HD and NO DVR....I'm sure the complex, with 900 units, will make a hefty profit on this is no time.

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    Yeah, I was sitting here thinking the same thing... Even though they've taken the time to reprogram the remotes for each receiver, isn't there only 8 channels? My building has 24 units. I wonder if they know what they're doing. Apparently not, as its not working right now.

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    Hah. Big surprise here guys. First off, I'm on a north facing, 2nd floor apartment in a three story building. No Dish for me! Here's the shocker. I come home from work today to find two....Dish 381's sitting on my kitchen table. The service is through my apartment complex's parent company...

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    Ok guys, the four days of cable outages are finally over. We've been given the choice of AT 100, 200, or 250 @ $45, $58, $68. Then, its $5 for the first receiver, and $10 for the second. My 'cable' bill is now $73 a month, and I get no DVR and no HDTV! This is bogus! I miss having Dish...

    Awesome. Well, here's hoping I can get DVR, or HDTV, or locals for that matter, in the abyss of the Lafayette DMA! Thanks guys

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    RC, i think that's how its done now, with the 'analog' set up, but what could they mean when they offer us 'digital' service? They claim to be giving us access to pay-per-view and music channels, as well as programming packages offered by dish network? How would that work? With 900+ units, a...

    Dish Network for apartment complex?

    I currently live in a 900 unit apartment complex, served by in house cable. Currently, we are served analog cable with a mixture of antenna, C-Band, and DISH network feeding the 65 channels that we get. Recently (currently) the complex announced that they would be offering 'digital' cable into...

    Dish Network WGN Sound Quality

    Hi guys, I've been watching a lot of shows DVR'd off of WGN, and I've noticed something strange about the sound quality. Specifically, my recordings of Home Improvement sound very "wishy-washy" in the background....Almost like they've degraded the audio quality to a point where the background...

    Adding TVs on existing DISH account

    I want to upgrade my setup to at least the 622. Doesn't dish network have an upgrade program for existing customers? I don't want to drop the $400+ on the receiver. I know I need a DPP44 if I upgraded to the new HD channels. I am located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Would 61.5 or 129 be better?

    Adding TVs on existing DISH account

    Not at home right now, so I can't get to the Info screen. I remember it saying i had a DPP Quad, which is this, I think. I'm a little nervous letting Dish's contractors come out and spend my money. My install was a little painful, but I think I competent enough to wire everything. I know I...

    Adding TVs on existing DISH account

    There's no DPP separator running to my 625, they ran two lines from the dish because of the way we have TV2 located in my house. I figured a new dish 1000(+?) for my HD programming at least. As of right now, Cincinnati locals haven't been uplinked, but I have a very stable signal with my attic...

    Adding TVs on existing DISH account

    I have been a subscriber for a few years with DISH. When I signed up, I got the four room deal, which included a DISH 811 (HD), a DISH 625, and a DISH 301/311. I have no fancy switches, its all running off the LNB on the DISH 500. I'm looking to get another HDTV. Here's what I'd like to get...
