I tried doing the search, but not very good at it.... Can someone tell me the aprox cost for upgrading to HD on Dish? I finally bought a HD TV for the living room (using OTA HD in the theater room and bar). Now with three HD displays, thinking it is now worth the upgrade to HD. But how much...

OK, thanks for all the help. I decided to try a voom box one more time. Cheap price, I have all the needed items already including a mounted antenna that I know works well. I really hoping to "get buy with this" for a year or so. Then when MPEG4 settles I will upgrade everything (well my SD...

Yea, I think I'm passing on the 942 right now. I called Dish again this morning and they still are telling me no $250 deal for the 942. If I buy a 811 on eBay, will Dish still charge me the $5.00 equipment fee when I have it activiated? I'm leaning toward trying another Voom box...

Thanks...and by rebooting do you me just powering down and back up again? Or is there something more? Dang, the 811 would be a no brainer for the deal they are giving me except with all the problems people report. And while I don't mind "messing" around and tweeking, as mentioned I travel a...

Thanks, I got the X-1 a year ago to learn about PJ's, experiment, see what I like and don't like, etc. I image I will get about 18 month more out of the bulb (I have already had the unit up and running about 10 months). Once the bulb blows or reduces output significatly, I doubt I will replace...

Well one of the issues for me besides PQ is ease of use. I travel a lot for work so I want it easy for the wife and kids to use. This is my HT Room and not main TV watching room, but I'm sure all you guys know, with wife and kids different tastes, so they need to be able to use it to. Tonight...

For those that mentioned the $250 charge...are you new subscribers or already with them? And was their an install charge???

Thanks for the additional input guys! At THIS point, I'm really only interested in OTA HD (When MNF goes to ESPN I might be more interested in Dish HD). In fact, I did not start with a 811 as a month or so ago with I started this hunt, Dish told me I would be required to purchase their...

In all honesty, I would LOVE to do that. My "Tivo" is a Toshiba SD-H400 which is a Tivo/Progressive scan DVD Player. I realize it is not that high quality of a unit, but I can't imagine going competely w/o a Tivo/DVR. If I got the 942, then I could upgrade to a nice DVD Player and improve PQ...

You got an X-1? Cool, that is what I'm running (on a DIY 94" screen). I was really surprised at the HD quality considering the PJ is not HD. But as cheaply as I was able to pick up the Voom box, I thought I'd give it a try. Now, I can't imagine going back! But I have got to get Fox for Cowboy...

OK, I got my 1st taste of HD last weekend, then watched MNF and it was AWESOME!! I'm using a PJ on a 94" so you can image that my SD TV thru Dish is pretty bad. Of course I didn't realize HOW bad to I could switch back and forth between HD> The problem is I bought a Voom box off eBay and it...

Well, I would "think" I would have to authorize it to get SD channels. I do want HD OTA for football, CSI, that type thing, but I'm happy with the Dish SD channels and would not want to loose them. I just got off the phone with them again. They gave me the number to another dept. Evidently...

Wow, thanks for the quick replies, I really appreciate. Well I do want to keep my Dish SD receiver I currently have in my HT room. I just want to move it to another room. So, that means a additional lease/equipment charge of $5.00 per month. OK got it. Well if I buy a 811 on ebay or 3rd...

I have had Dish Network for a year now and love it (will never go back to cable). Currently I have no HD. I wanted to get OTA HD in my HT room for the start of Football and see how much I like it and then see about getting HD TV's for the rest of the house. I thought about getting a Voom...

What about from a 522 to a PC? I just bought a new PC (bare bones) and would rather record to that then get a stand alone DVD recorder. Obviously I would need to get a DVD recorder for my PC, but what else would I need and would it be worth the trouble.
