    Guide Information

    Hey Guys, I have searched for this answer, but have yet to find it. I have a ViP722 with a Winegard SENSAR antenna. If I cancel my subscription to locals through Dish Network, will I also lose the guide info for my off-air locals. Dish Network does not carry my locals in HD and I can pull...

    I'm having a DP brain fart...

    If it were me I would replace the DP Twin on the DISH 500 with 2 DP duals. It's just a matter of preference but I don't like the idea of hooking the built-in switch on the twin with a 34 or 44 switch. Kind of a "the less there is to go wrong, the less that will go wrong" thing.

    If thats the case then the 44 switch might be the way to go if you don't mind shelling out the $200 for one.

    I'm having a DP brain fart...

    It sounds like the best solution for you would be to get a DISH 1000.2 because it has three DPP outputs, and use separators on the dual tuner receivers. The DISH 1000.2 will get you the 119/110/129 birds and if you still require the 61.5 there is an input for that.

    Using an HD DVR w/ an SD TV

    Randall-Do you think the increase is due to the subs who simply get the HD receiver and hook up OTA and use the receiver for progam info and not sub to HD?

    Using an HD DVR w/ an SD TV

    Yes, it is per month. But if you are talking about getting HD programming for your hockey, the HD package is $20 per month

    Using an HD DVR w/ an SD TV

    Why upgrade to an HD-DVR?? If the DVR is the only thing you are interested, upgrade to a SD-DVR. Hooking up an HD-DVR to a SDTV is like putting race fuel into a Geo Metro.

    How to "Untie" Yourself from a Retailer

    What you may be able to do is go to the retailer you would like to use and tell them your situation, what you would like to do, and why you would prefer to go with someone else. They may be able to to petition to Dish Network to get an exception. It might work and it might not, but its worth a...

    How to install for a fifth satellite

    That should work for you, I am located about 75 miles northeast and I use a Dish500 w/ DPP Twin and a wing for 61.5. Dish 500+ and Dish 1000+ are the same thing except that you add a mountiong bracket for 129 on the end cluster to make it a Dish 1000+
