I'm a Dish customer in NY, and thinking about trying out D* due to loosing my RSN's. I have a few questions about the HR34 setup.
1. Will D* help out with my ETF. I have about 9 months left on my Dish 2 year agreement due to an equip upgrade.
2. I remember seeing on here a comparison chart for HD channels from the 2 providers. Can anyone provide a link for that?
3. Will a slingbox work with D*, and the HR34 setup, and would it be any type of solution for my next question?
4. I have 5 T.V.'s in my house. All HD. We really have 3 main ones that we use right now. My setup from E* is one 722 feeding main T.V. and the second signal is split to office/exercise room and my son's room who is in college most of the year (SD FEED) I also have 2 211's, 1 in my bedroom and another in my son's room. My other son is also going to college in the fall. I really have just the two T.V.'s that I use most of the time, and a third in my office/exercise room used on occasion. I just need a way to get T.V. in the 2 boys rooms when they come home on breaks, but I don't want to the the extra monthly reciever fee's for the whole year, when they are only here for 3 to 4 months.
If I get the HR34 setup, with two extra HD boxes, ( I guess the H25's), can I somehow split the signal and get it on the other two T.V.'s? I wouldn't mind if they were in SD like they are now. Also, does D* have a remote like a Dish 722 or 222, that works on a radio signal? If not, is there an app for a smart phone that could work like a remote control? If I can do this, will the installers hook it up this way?
Thanks in advance for any answers, and if I need to explain my setup more, I can give it a shot.
