Satellite TV Offers Can I switch to Dish Network to get more HD Channels?» Can I switch to Dish Network to get more HD Channels?I purchased all the equipment for HDTV using DirectTV and subscribe to their HD programming. The store did not give me the info that I would not get a lot of HD stations-mainly locals. After 6 months of TV, I found that directtv now offered HDlocal channels in my area. BUT, even though my TIVO (purchased for $600) states it is from directtv, I cannot get the local channels with it. The service man said he could hook me up to get local channels in HD but did not think I would be able to use my TIVo at all. Will Dish give me the local channels in HD with a DVR that will record in HD also? Can I cancel my directtv? I do not think they have fulfilled their part of the contract. Their ads say that the football package is in HD but since they pick up network feeds, I did not have any HD football this past season except for the ESPN games. I live right on the border of two states and would like to have a different local feed than what directtv gives me. Can Ichoose my local feeds? Cabling & dual receivers» Cabling & dual receiversMy 5-year old house has been internally wired with coax cable splitting off several times at several places (probably 8-12 end points) from one central input-somewhat like a tree diagram. The cable company signal was strong enough for all the TV’s but just barely for the internet service at the extreme end point. Can I use this same coax for the sat-tv signal? (internet is no longer using this coax) With the dual receiver box, it sounds like it gets the signal from the coax coming out of the wall, but if the 2nd tv for that box is in another room, I would need to run a separate coax from the box to the 2nd tv….is that correct? If so, I don’t intend to have a coax running on the floor from the dual box in the family room to the 2nd tv in the bedroom, and remodeling is not going to happen. Is the answer just to go with “single” boxes for the 3 or 4 rooms I have in mind? I have no interest in HDTV, Tivo, DVR, etc., but a box with an internal VCR would be nice, but not a must-have. extra recievers» extra recieversI have two recievers and would like a third one. I was told it will cost me 100.00 for a new one. Is there cheaper ones that I could get? Also Is there a cheaper package a person could get in stead of the 48/49 dollors one?
