Good to hear you saw through the smokescreen that person put out. My personal mantra is this: do not believe anything a salesperson tells you without finding out yourself. No offense to any of you in the retail biz...

No (big) offense to AVS, but it sometimes seems that if you don't have AV equipment with a price tag of >=4 digits or are talking about AV equipment that has a price tag of <4 digits, then it's bunk. Great info on the site, just sometimes a bit too anal and snobbish for my tastes. :)

Kudos to you for thinking about the safety of your kid while you were in man-nirvana-land testing the speakers! :up

If the deadline involved a price increase or a decrease in service to the customer, you bet your bottom dollar they'll meet it. ;)

Word of mouth advertising can indeed be a very powerful force, esp. for a small up-and-coming company. I'm just days away from ordering a set myself -- just waiting for ye ole tax return to be deposited before the 9th, so i can have some mad money to "invest." :D

Digital Dude, did they say how long the special pricing for us will last? It'll be probably a few more weeks before I could drop the green for them. The 7.1 set for <$200/shipped is crazy insane! EDIT: I don't see a link on their site for the 7.1 system.

Wowie zowie. I have a hodge-podge set of speakers in my living room and this set looks like a "must buy" for me. I like how it all comes in one box, you don't have to worry about a pile of boxes that might not get to you all at once (been there done that!) A sub would round out the package...

I think this is the deal I've been waiting for to push me over the edge to finally move to HD. Make me sure I'm right: I don't have any HD programming/receivers right now, so I would basically pay $199 up front for the lease upgrade to a 622 and get $10 off my bill per month for 10 months, or...

Ditto on the Belkin. Back when I ordered several 1100 VA units for home, the 12345 code was 50% and they also ran overnight shipping for the same price as standard shipping. I got a call from the Miami warehouse that afternoon confirming the order, was here next day (to NW Florida). Kudos to...

I've finally decided that it was time for me to donate some $$$ to this fantastic site. I've gotten more helpful info to last quite a long time! :up To those whining about this whole issue: want some cheese to go with it? Scott isn't doing anything wrong! (And I'm not just saying that...

Or replace the power button(s) altogether and put either a credit card or a dollar bill reader in its place. :D

OK, cool. You kinda freaked me out there for a minute. :D

Are you 100% sure that the ENTIRE state of FL is out of the 129 orbital? The colored charts I have seen do NOT show the Northwest FL panhandle area (ie. Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Ft. Walton Beach) as being in the colored area, which would seem to indicate that it is possible to to get the 129...

Been a good customer of theirs with on-time payments for 5+ years. Called last month to cancel the HBO/Showtime packages and the locals. After getting the nxt bill and wading thru all the + and - charges and pro-rated charges, I did not see any downgrade fees.

I called a local Dish retailer/installer (Dan's Satellite's) and they told me that around here both 61.5 and 129 are reachable, presumably with acceptable signal strength. He told me that they prefer to use 129. I then called Dish and the very polite CSR told me that I would indeed "need" a...

Thanks a bunch for the info all! Much more helpful and a heck of a lot friendlier than the *cough* other sites *cough*. Pepper: if I understood you correctly, I could simply take my old Dish 500, replace the LNBF(s) on it with a "DishPro Dual LNBF" (saw it for $36.99 on dishstore.net) and...

Been reading posts here old and new like crazy, learned quite a lot sofar, but I'm still a bit confused about what upgrade path I need to take. My current setup: * SuperDish 105 (?) pointed to 110/119/105 * (not current used) Dish 500 * 2x508 DVR's, one on a SDTV, other on a HDTV * DP34...

Not to get your hopes up or anything but if I am not mistaken, the last half dozen or so people who were told they too were getting a ViP622 for $49.99 were saddened when they did not get the ViP622, so I seriously doubt you will.

First post, great site BTW! Called just a few minutes ago, got the India call center. Primary reason for calling was to cancel locals/HBO/Showtime. The CSR got that done very quickly and politely. I then asked her about the ViP622 and how much it would cost to upgrade to one (currently using...
