    100 National HD channels for DISH in 2008

    That's why I left them last week...can't get a straight answer from anyone. Also pissed me off that I had to got to a 250 channel package just to get the V/S channel.

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    Yea, I'm understanding it's not TIVO anymore. Costco has a great deal $200 off a 30" HDTV when activating DTV which we have been looking to get, another $50 and $100 off the HD DVR. Also, they are going $20 off the bill for a year too and I will finally get Spike, SciFi, Versus, and the other...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    I'm out too. Dish seems to have no idea what HD channels they have, one week it's 24, next week its 40 something and then it's 70. I can't get a honest answer about anything so screw it. Costco has a great offer for DTV and I'm taking it...getting $200 of a new HDTV plus $150 off getting a...

    Would-Be Newbie Question About Dish Network and Cable Internet

    I am just cancelling my TWC HD package, it sucks. The picture quality on the basic channels on the 53" is horrable and the HD skips and breaks out all the time. No problems keeping RR and having the Dish.

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    I just called Dish and they FINALLY understood after I explained it. They seem to be so hooked on these receivers being able to serve two room they loose focus that you may want to use those two tuners on the same room. Thursday is the install day for the 2nd DVR, lets' see what happened...

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    Yea, exactly what I thought. The Dish installer said we could and I disagreed, I even clarified the question to him. I will be calling them again today. I want a DVR in my bedroom and a dual DVR in the media room so I will need to have them come back out.

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    Sorry, yes I did get the 622 HD DVR for the media room. I have never heard of sharing a DVR before, tonight was our first night and it sucked. :) We have a busy house (6 people) and sharing one DVR is not going to cut it with the boss.

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    so, I got the Dish installed today, the installer brought in 2 boxes...one for the room with no DVR and one for the HD TV. so, I asked what about the DVR for the other room (my bedroom) he then explained that the bedroom and the media room "share" the tuners. So I give him the following...
