    722 - Two TVs in the Same Room

    OK here is what I am trying to do. I currently have TV1 in the living room and TV2 in the basement. In preparation for a Super Bowl party, I want to move TV2 up to the living room area as well. I tried running a coax from the VHF/UHF output on the splitter to the second TV... didn't work. I...

    FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device

    Would a PC to TV connection be the only option out there then? Or do any off the GoogleTV type competitors offer a solution?

    FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device

    Will it play sites that stream videos in a popout windows media player? I watch sports on channelsurfing.net sometimes and this would be a big selling point for me.

    Why You Should Get Google TV

    What are the limitations on websites you can visit. Can you visit sites that may require a plugin to be installed? For example, a site like channelsurfing.net?

    Guess I need OTA setup

    lsilvest - thanks for the info. I do have locals with Dish so it sounds like it will be a pretty easy setup. That website is helpful as well. It indicates that I should be able to pick up the major networks with an indoor antenna. I'm going to buy one this weekend and see how it works out.

    Guess I need OTA setup

    Can anybody help a complete idiot set up an indoor antenna? How do I get the OTA locals in the guide once I connect the antenna to the antenna IN port? Also, I'm about 25 miles south of DC where all the local stations are located. Do you think I'll be able to receive the stations with an...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I believe this may have been answered in another thread, but I just wanted to ask whether or not we will be losing the regular local FOX channel? I don't want to miss FOX football on Sunday. Does anyone know for sure?

    Local channels from different city!

    I don't know much about satellite so thank you for the information. I did a google search for "spot beam" and found a map that shows DC and Philly smack in the middle of Dish's s05 spot beam. Does this mean I could get both DC and Philly locals at the same time? If so how would that work and...

    Local channels from different city!

    How far can you "move." Can I "move" from DC to Philly?

    Local channels from different city!

    Just wondering, would this work for someone living in DC to get Philly locals? Or is that too far? I'm assuming that is too far.

    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    TiVo is definitely a great option but I'm not sure if it is right for me. We only record a few shows and usually watch them within a week. And I think we would take advantage of the Fios VOD. We had Comcast a few years ago before Dish and liked the VOD, although everything else about it was...

    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    Thanks everyone, and there is some good information in that other thread. The lack of external storage concerns me considering the small size of the Fios boxes.

    Anyone move from Dish Network to FIOS?

    I'm a current, happy Dish customer. I have Fios for home phone and internet, and have been receiving calls from Verizon offering me a Triple Play bundle for a very good price. I've done a bit of research myself and even after the promotion period expires, I'll still save about $10 per month if...

    Encore Movies for $5

    Thanks... It is very strange to me that when I go to "Change Programming" online, I have the ability to select Encore Movies for $5. Everything else I already subscribe to (Epix 3, Outdoor Channel, etc.) is grayed out and not available for selection.

    Encore Movies for $5

    I have the Top 250 package and seem to already have several Encore movie channels. Does the Encore $5 add-on offer additional channels? If so which ones and are they worth it?

    Is going from a 722 to a 612 an Upgrade?

    Thanks, I also consider going from a 722 to a 612 a downgrade. I explained this to the CSR and she told me the $200 covers the cost of them having to purchase a new box. I don't really buy that explanation, but whatever. She also said that fee is waived sometimes depending on how long...

    Is going from a 722 to a 612 an Upgrade?

    I have a 722 that I would like to trade in for a 612. The CSR told me it would be a $200 upgrade fee. That doesn't seem right to me. Is this correct? I also want to get an additional solo HD box. My current setup: 722 622 My desired setup: 622 (current) 612 (new) 211k (new)...
