    What to do w/ old receiver

    Hi I did add the 3rd receiver and I have the 501 and the 6000 receivers hooked up to the same TV via diff TV inputs so i can do PIP. I have the third receiver on a diff TV. I do pay the $5 fee though. One problem is that since I have a twin LNB on my dish 500 I can only connect two receivers...

    Best Sat. Service

    I agree with Jay. I had a run around with the Dish Installer as well but ultimately, it was well worth the effort. The installer cancelled/changed/ arrived late but once the dish is up you are set. I have had zero problems with the dish itself. I would pick Dish again. Remember the tradeoff...

    DISH SW64 Multiswitch vs. SW44 + SW21's

    Robert Do you know if the new switch will still require a dish 500 w/ dual LNBs or will it also work with twin LNB. I have a dish 500 twin + dual LNB on dish 300 and 3 receivers. Right now two receivers get the dish 500 output and 1 gets the dish 300. I don't want to buy the dual LNB for $200...

    Thanks for the helpful comments. I bought a RS bowtie and get all the channels now. but need to move the antenna around to get different channels.

    DISH & DirecTV = DVI; CEA = IEEE; Hollywood = Both

    I think that everyone who owns an HDTV ready device should start emailing/calling their mfgs and anyone who is planning to buy such a device should call up the mfg and ask them. I think the mfg will care more about losing current sales due to this issue. ------------------ Eram...

    Jay Leno on HDTV

    Hi I watched Jay Lenno on the DTV feed from NYC with the double bow tie. Even though it looked better than it did on dishnet and cable, it did not look as good as the HDTV feed I saw at the Harveys electronics store. How can I be certain that it is actually HDTV and not just DTV? The...

    Be honest, how does standard analog cable look on a large HDTV?

    I have a sony 53hs10 and have both analog cable and dishnet. I find that dishnet is very clear, almost DVD quality except for a few channels running old shows such as TVland. Even cable looks better than it did on my old 27 inch sony. I think the signal clarity varies by area for both cable and...
