    Signed up w/ E* from D*.....

    Yes, WeeJavaDude, I can stretch...however, it seems back a**wards. I thought that all true HD content (except for older upconverted material) were broadcast in 16:9 format. With D*, all I had to do is change between formats 4:3 (normal SD and cropped sides HD) to 16:9 (side bars SD and letterbox...

    522...confused now, did I miss something?

    Yes...David.. It is dumb. So...this issue should be included with the "single mode" asterisk on the Features info on the 522 (thought that was only for PIP)? One tuner for the live stuff, one tuner for the dvr.....how simple could that be?

    522...confused now, did I miss something?

    ....I just got the 522, and according to DISH, I can NOT record a program and watch live TV on the same TV. Then, I was told with 522's two tuners that one goes with TV1, and other to TV2. What! I thought the whole point was that I could watch/record on the same TV with the two tuners, and...

    Stick with cable, or get dish network?

    From what I understand, you would be paying $5 for the DVR menu content via sat (or is it the fact that it has two tuners, thus using two LNBs)....but not for the capibility to run a second line to another TV. Does that make sense?

    lurch, According to DISH's website: "On-screen DVR command menus are seamlessly integrated with DISH Network's 9-day electronic program guide to make selecting and recording standard and high definition programming quick and easy." I would think that program guide would have menu of the...

    Signed up w/ E* from D*.....

    ....install is tomorrow morning (2/12). I was with DirecTV for 5 years, and the current DISH promo was too hard to pass up with all new equipment: the 811 and the 522 (with features not offered w/D*). My question is this: Is there anyone out there that made the jump to Dish from DirecTV and...
