Yeah, that's helpful. I guess it's going to cost $300 in equipment, though, right? ($99 upgrade to the 2nd HD DVR, plus $99 for each of the 2 additional receivers?)

OK, so just so I understand, I can get a HD DVR and 3 HD receivers and each of the receivers can sync up with the HD DVR and watch the recorded shows? I'm curious how, with a $200 expense on equipment, I can save $$$ by switching to DirecTV. Actually, I don't need to "save" $$$, I just need...

OK, thanks Hemi. I got on the DirecTV website and was bummed because it looked like, if I wanted 2 2-room DVRS (with at least HD capability for one of the 2 TVs), I was going to have to buy a receiver, which I don't want to do. At the end of the day, I need to watch 2 TVs in HD, 2 in SD, and...

Thanks for your post -- I'm in the same situation. I have Dish's top 250 package (or whatever it's called). I get on the DirecTV website and the hardware costs scared me. I'd love some help here. I have 2 612s (I believe that's what they are -- they allow me to watch 1 TV in HD and the...

Has anyone heard if this will be offered by Dish? I know it is currently offered in Canada, and it contains mixed martial arts competitions, pro wrestling, boxing, etc. With the explosion in popularity of combat sports (particularly the UFC), I think there would be some demand for this. I...

The sound on my 622 (primary TV) goes off every couple of days or so for a couple of hours at a time. In addition, I have been having spotty reception with certain channels coming through (Voom in particular, although others are also problematic on occassion). 75% of the time everything works...

I'm a Dish guy, but my father has DirecTV and asked whether he can get locals via DirecTV. Last I heard, DirecTV was planning on expanding locals into 24 markets by the end of the year, but I glanced through the 34 page post on these markets and didn't see whether much (if any) progress was...

I've been having the exact same problems jhost mentions...anyone out there with ideas?

Dishstore.net is not only a great company, but it also has a great website URL.

I'm getting my 622 installed later this month and remember a post or 2 about Channel 9 in Denver (a Gannett owned station) not showing up because of a dispute between Dish and Gannett. Has this been cleared up? In other words, can I get channel 9 in HD from Dish?

Since I'm near Denver, I am psyched to be able to receive (some) locals in high-def. I need help to know what to do. I currently lease 2 811s and 1 625. I have America's Everything Package. I also have only 1 dish. A Dish CSR told me that I could upgrade to a dual-tuner MPEG 4 HDTV...

Any word on when Dish will hook us Coloradans up with locals in HDTV? I live 35 miles north of Denver and can't get any OTA HDTV broadcasts (I'd be willing to bet that 85% of the people along the Front Range can't get OTA HDTV). It seems to me that Dish and/or DirecTV should provide HDTV...

Forgive me for my ignorance, but does this mean that I can now watch Voom channels on something other than 61.5?

I too will leave in the next 4 or 5 days if no ESPNU or CSTV. Iceberg, CSTV and ESPNU also shows several college hockey games a week.

The college football season is coming...and I'm going to start holding my breath since we can't get ESPNU....and I can't feel my toes...and I'm starting to see black...and....
