I'm about to sign up for the 921/34" HD monitor package. Has anyone seen this tv - is it any good?
I'm of the impression that there are only a few HD channels through Dish - I'm not too worried about that. I'm about 30 miles from the NY towers. I'm assuming I can get some OTA HD signals for local broadcast.
Unfortunately, that's about all I know. Can I get away with a little indoor antenna for HD reception?
Big question is, will the Superbowl party be in HD? I'm guessing no at this point, but that won't stop me from the package if I get favorable responses here.

If you got the install included as a current sub, this is a GREAT deal AFAIC
I would get the 2nd dish for free. You can also get CBS-HD added at the same time, as it's on the 61.5 dish. Makes for a nice backup. Make sure you have line of sight due south for 61.5. All the channel locations can be seen at http://www.dishchannelchart.com/
As for the yellow rating, I'm assuming you put multi-story house on antennaweb. Keep in mind that they're building this assuming a certain height of the antenna, so yellow might be a little optimistic. The silver sensor gets rave reviews past a yellow rating, though, so it might not be a problem.
As for WNYW, prepare to be slightly confused
See the heading on antennaweb called "frequency assignment?" That's the actual channel that the digital channel is transmitting on. The 5.1 designation is their channel assignment, and the 921 will display this once it locks the channel.

what do you mean "included as a current sub"?
okay - the 44 is the actual frequency being transmitted, which is in the UHF range - I think
I was trying to avoid a second dish on the roof of the townhouse - but maybe I'll have them do it anyway. Dish sent me some schpiel on "rights of homeowners" to prove that I can mount stuff to receive my local channels. They mentioned the "Superdish".
The previous owners had installed an old chimney type mount antenna in my attic - is this useless to me? I'd prefer the silver sensor over running cable through the house - besides, the would have to travel from attic, down 3 floor to basement - signal loss would probably be terrible.
thanks again - I now have more fodder for when I call Dish to order my 1st HDTV package

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
