    Can Dish Network survive as a company?

    I have been with Dish for about 13 years, well something like that, except for a month stint with cable. There DVR rocks, and don't forget, we had alot more HD for like a year than what the Direct folks had. For now, there is no reason to think they won't be around for a long while.

    Dish to begin DRM on PPV May 6th

    Our household has 5 people, 3 of them teens, gone are the days for the most part that we can all sit down and watch a movie together. We did however, get several HD PPV's a month and save them. When we had a free moment, we would watch them, when one of the kids had some free time or was off...

    Super Bowl not in HD in Sacramento?

    Our Fox broadcasts on a sub of the ABC stream so no HD and very poor SD, so we took the move option some time back to get it over Dish. Very nice picture !

    Dish HD install at 9:45PM?!

    My Dish installer showed up to add a receiver, should have taken him 5 minutes, at 3pm, decided he did not like the way the current 1000 was mounted, so he redid all the outside stuff, it looked the same as the 1 year old install that he replaced, had trouble getting 1000 lined up, so had to...

    Exactly, 7 rooms of TV, I do not like to share the dual tuners, they are always recording something it seems like it anyway !! And yes, and the PIP is nice. 7 HDTV's, 34 INCH 400LB RCA CRT we won from Dish a few years ago, my oldest kid latched onto that. 2 17In AOC LCD's that also double as...

    On the verge of Dumping Dish

    I enjoyed a bunch of HD for a year while the Direct fanbase was on hold, so far no show stoppers on HD, although I hope Dish picks up Speed in February when it really starts broadcasting in HD.

    TNT stretch-o-vision response

    You are so right about the 50 percent have no HD services, or after spending 3K on a TV, won't spend the extra $$ to get HD. I don't know how many people I have helped alter the Dish install, where they left in in 480P and walked off after the install. Or never hooked the OTA antenna up. I...

    New here and New Dish member

    You should get an OTA antenna, I suggest a Zenith Silver Sensor, try to put it as high as possible, in attic if possible, then point towards towers. Then hook up the coax to your 722 Dish receiver and do a digital local channel scan and see what you can get. You may be in luck for all of them.

    New HD Subsrciption, HD DVR & Installation - What to Expect

    I have my projection TV as well as all my DVR's hooked up to battery backups. This can be a real saver on equipment. If the power goes out, we shut the TV off and it still has time to run the cool down on the bulb. Those bulbs are expensive and a power off without a proper cool down can...

    Is there any way I can get networks/locals in HD?

    And I guess you can't pick up locals with an OTA Antenna, some of the best quality HD picture can be found using an Over The Air Antenna. I see with you post your in the sticks, but how many air miles from the towers ? Some people are picking up a reliable signal from 50-60 miles away with a...

    Is the 722 DVR too loud for a bedroom?

    I have a 622 in the bedroom and it has never woke me up, but it is loud if you happen to be awake to go to the bathroom, just change the update time. I added speakers to mine so I can set it on music and turn the TV off.
