    trouble with 522/322 remotes

    Hello! Having a interesting problem with my 522 and 322 distant "radio" remotes. They are not only changing the channel on the tv in front of them. But, they are also changing channels on the other tv as well! Both are differing brands of television. How can I set up the remotes to...

    Since ESPN is behind most of the rate increases

    and the reason behind this is the Pro sports contracts they have bought. Would it not be better if ESPN organized their pro sports packages into something similar to the NFL sunday ticket that Direct has? It seems that would help prevent the overall package of ESPN channels from going through...

    Is dish moving away from Dual tuner receivers?

    I noticed that that new 211/411 are single receiver boxes. Is dish moving away from the dual tuner receivers? It was always nice to save $5 here and there and it would seem that dual tuner boxes would save money for them on swapouts.

    DirectTV seems to be making a major upgrade

    in their HD offering and the quickness of their Mpeg4 upgrades. It appears that Dish is taking a slower approach. Could this come back to bit Dish? I really see Direct offering all HD channels in the top 50 markets by the end of next year. But, I don't see Dish moving anywhere near this...

    Question on the new Mpeg4 receivers

    Hello! I have several questions on the new Mpeg4 receivers coming down the line. 1. Will all the new receivers be HD compatable. In other words, are capable of receiving HD if one chooses to subscribe at some point? 2. Are any of these new recieivers "dual" tuner models like the 322, 522 ?

    Will any of the New Mpeg4 receivers

    So, it is technically impossible for a receiver to controll 2 HDTV's?? The standard cabling used by Dish can not handle the signal???

    Will any of the New Mpeg4 receivers

    Have duel HD tuners that would allow them to be hooked up to two HD tv sets? The old 942 allows for one HD and one SD hookup. Any word on if the new 962 would allow 2 HD hookups? It seems that duel receivers would save dish on the number of units they would have to swap out eventually and...

    FNC large subscriber cost increase

    Why don't they just offer FNC as an option? If you, as a subscriber, want the channel you pay an additional 50 cents a month! Congress could do so much good if they banned the the practice of "bundling" channels and forced the Sat companies to offer more channels seperately. I would...

    Does dish lease 942's

    It is NOT like we want the 942 for free Lets say that Ford offered all buyers, who have NEVER, bought a Ford truck before, get a 50% discount on the purchase of a new truck. Anyone who has owned a Ford before are not able to get this deal. But, from time to time and no apparent reason SOME...

    Does dish lease 942's

    That is the problem with Dish, if the policy is not to give current subscribers the 942 for $249 and only offer it to new subs then that should be the policy. But, they seem, from time to time and no apparent reason, "break" this rule for "some" customers :mad:

    Had Dish Network installed at by house, now problem

    Hello Just had a 522 and 322 receiver installed at my house Monday. The 522 works great on the two TV's connected to it. But, with the 322, only the TV located next to the receiver seems to work. The installers ( who did not even program the remotes!). Said there must be sometime wrong...

    I read the dish 1000 thread but

    I still don't really know what advantages it has over the dish500. Especially if you still need two dishes to pick up all your locals! I am moving my service to a new house in a few weeks. Should I try to get them to install the 1000 :confused:

    RCA WVS150 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Sender

    Hello: thanks for the responce. Their advertisement seems to indicate that being "2.4 Gig" that this reduces interfearance issues. So, is it worth it even with the interfearance? :confused:

    RCA WVS150 2.4 GHz Wireless Video Sender

    Hello: Anyone have any experience with this device??? I have dish hooked up to 4 TV's with a 522 and a 322. I would like to add it to a 5th room. But, I don't want to buy another receiver and I can think of no situation where there would be more than 3 tv's being viewed at the same time.

    Would the 942 be better with duel HD tuners?

    It seems that it would be a better idea to have duel HD tuners were one can hook up two HD sets to the box. Perhaps a idea for the Mpeg4 HDVR later in the fall??? :)
