Looking for 622+211 deal. Is there such a thing?

As the thread-title states, I am looking for a 622 AND a 211 deal. The Dish web site shows two separate deals, but I wonder if there is something out there that might combine the two.

Background for those unfamiliar with me and my current set-up: I plan to replace a 721 and 501 with the new receivers so no lines need to be run. I already have dishes pointed at 61.5/110/119 so no instalation is needed. One of the dishes is 10 years old and may need replacing eventually, but right now I do not need installation. I have been a Dish sub in good standing since April 1997. I currently sub to AEP + Dish Latino Bonus + Locals + Supers and plan to uping that to Dish HD Platinum+Locals+Supers WITHOUT DL Bonus.

So... are there any unadvertised deal I should know about?

Thanks in advance!

See ya
Tony

No, Dish Pro equipment can't be mixed with legacy equipment.

I didn't think so. Sounds like this guy is going to have to buy a DP34 or DPP44

Who's "this guy"?

Is it you?

I already have 61.5, 110 & 119 so I can physically get all the HD channels now. No need for a Dish 1000 (yet)

See ya

I emailed CEO on Friday last week and got two leased 622s, a new dpp44 and the Dish 1000 for the $398 upgrade with an 18 month commitment. As far as I know, the new dish and switch are included in the offer. I get two 10 for 10 credits (one each box) and the $100 for the 942 if I decided to return it. I may keep it and return the 508 and 510 I have. It was installed the next day. So far so good. I found out my HD set only has one 1080i input (others are 480p max). I had to buy a digital a/v selector to share the input with my three boxes (622s and 942).

Don't forget to mention Satelliteguys.US in your email.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.
