Hello,

My name is Adam.
I'm an engineer from Possum Trot, KY (When I'm there it's Awesome Trot!)
I joined here over the weekend for two reasons. My parents, who I've moved closer to, have had Dish Network for years and recently purchased their second HDTV. Since I am now closer to home I've become their tech-guy and I was wanting to gain more info to help them out.

Secondly, with my new home, I am now the owner of my first HDTV and first time subscriber to DirecTV (What can I say? I love Dish, but I love local HD more), and I heard that this is the best place to hear the latest info from them as well.

Thank you for the warm welcome and polite atmosphere (unlike some other forums). I hope to contribute to the community.

I'm guessing the 8300 is a cable box? If so have a look here:
Cable and Fiber-Optic Television Discussions - SatelliteGuys.US
Try posting your question there, you will get a better response than here

Hi to all , I must admit I'm completley out of my element. I have never used a chat room or forum before, so I may make some mistakes, my love for music and the use of my home theatre is what brings me here,I'm a drummer and music is my life I have built a fairley decent home theatre and my intrest is in recording hd concerts. This brings me to my problem I have a Seagate 500 gb hard drive and a dish hd 722 reciever,after about a month the reciever wont reconise the drive I called Seagate and hooked the drive to my pc and it is not the problem,have got the run around from dish,HELP can any body point me in the right direction for help.

Hi Guys. I just joined and I wanted to jump in and introduce myself. My name is Chris, I am 26. and I have some experience in the satellite/cable installation field. I worked for Dish Network for a year, and I did Cable for Comcast for a year while I was going to school. I finished school and began working in what I thought was a "career", as a graphic designer. Long story short, turns out that as much as I enjoy what I do, I am NOT a 9-5 office type. I miss having tools, job-sites, a Van, being on roofs... working with my hands.
I know, sounds crazy, especially considering the winter weather that we have here in MI!
I thought this might be a "grass is greener" thing, so I rode it out.. for 18 months. But, I think this is an urge I need to indulge.
So, I am looking to get myself back into the installation field.
That sums me up... sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be concise.

Thanks Guys,
Chris

Finally Signed Up

I've lurked on this forum for years, but I finally got around to signing up. I've been inactive with satellite stuff for the last few years but I'm finally getting back in to it. I've got a 10 foot dish, 4DTV 922 receiver, a couple of 1.5 meter Ku dishes, three or four FTA receivers, and three or four FTA computer cards. I got my first C-band dish (only 7 foot with an LNB) back in 1998 and have been adding on ever since.
