I need to upgrade my dish network equipment

Question mailed in by Bill

I have been a DISH customer since 1997, I live here in Sunny Hills Fl, No cable available. I think the current practice of offering free service and up to 4 rooms of equipment is totally unfair to current customers. We do not have the option of upgrading our systems in such a manner.

If I made the switch to DIRECT would it make a difference. I really want to stay with Dish but nothing is carved in stone.

WHAT is available from your end. Is there any solution to this situation?

Dish Network and Direct TV Service in the Same Home

Question by Anju

Hi!

I already have Dish network. Direct TV is offerring some South Asian channels not available on Dish. Can I keep Dish network and install Direct TV as well? Is there any way I can get both services? Will that be possible on the same TV or do I need to install them on different TVs?

Benefit of The Triple LNB from Direct TV

Question mailed in by Dan

Hi Dave,

Does the triple LNB dish set up have any advantages over the other ones? For example, does the fact it has 3 Low Noise Blocker’s that allows it to receive signals from Direct TV’s three video satellites (101,110, & 119) enhance it’s performance in any ways Vs the other models? Appreciate your help, and thanks for your time.

Dish Network Newbie Questions

Thanks for a great site. Been reading it for a couple of days now.

Right now I have comcast cable and we are thinking about switching over to Dish Network.

1- We want the 4 DVRs - Does that mean I get 4 free DVR like the 625 or is that only the first one and the other 3 are downgraded - Like to have 4 dual DVRs?

2 - We do get snow and some heavy rains here in South Jersey how much does that effect the reception?

3 - My wife is a recording manic. She normally has 3-4 vcrs recording every night during prime time. Will she be able to record and watch at the same time on a single tv? (more…)
