I am currently a very satisfied Voom customer and am 99% sure I am going to switch to Dish instead of my cable company, Insight, or Directv.
I have a Mits 65813 and an old 27" 4X3 tv. Does anyone with a similar TV to my Mits. have both Voom and Dish right now? I have heard good things about the PQ of Dish's HD channels, but very conflicting things about the SD channels. If someone who currently has both services active could give me a comparison of the SD channels, I would appreciate it.
I plan on leasing a 942 and am willing to pay the $250 upgrade fee. I will use this receiver downstairs and then use the 2nd tv option for the tv in the bedroom. How many satellite tuners does the 942 have? How many OTA tuners? I can't find a link to the user guide for the 942 on Dish's website, is it available online yet?
Since the 942 supports both analog and digital OTA channels, can I incorporate both into the viewing guide? For example, can I have both the analog and digital NBC in the program guide at the same time? The reason that I ask is when the digital channels are transmitting a 4X3 program, they put the black bars up on the side. I would prefer to tune the analog channel and use the stretch mode on my Mits. Since I can receive my local channels already thanks to the upgraded Voom antenna, will I still need to pay for the local channels from Dish? If I have to pay, can I choose not to see them since I am sure that the OTA versions will be superior even if they are not broadcasting in HD.
A few install questions: are the 942's actually available for installs this week? The installer will need to bring a 40' ladder to reach my roof, will they try and charge me extra for this?
Thanks!
