For the most part, the information provided by the other person is correct. You are correct in that all plasmas suffer from burn-in; but he doesn't say his won't because of the way it is set up, he says his won't because he knows what he's doing. And, from the sound of his post, I'd bet...

Nothing about switching services ... In the quote of the new law, it just says you have to have received distant networks in October of 1999 or so to qualify to continue to receive them. It doesn't say *anything* about which satellite service you have. So if I switch from E* to D*, can I...

Not the remote That's a good point, but the noise was constant, not just when a remote button was pressed. So I'm quite confident that it was the receiver itself causing the problem. Terry

This is just a quick heads-up to others who might be having a related problem: I have a set of IR headphones hooked up to my system; the headphones plug into a wall outlet for power. Using these phones before I got DirecTV was always a problem; there was lots of noise over the sound. I...

Another DirecTV surprise OK, so I've now watched the channel 201 "DirecTV Basics" stuff. At least twice, it says that the nightly phone call won't cost you anything. T'ain't so. There is no local number in my area; I had to pick one out of Deming. And the on-screen guide says "you are...

I'm a long-time E* subscriber, *this close* to switching. So I decided to check out DirecTV - bought a system for my observatory in Middle of Nowhere, New Mexico, way down in the SW corner of the state. I got it from Best Buy, and I was careful to ask their "DirecTV expert" beforehand exactly...

What???? D* = DirecTV, not Dish Network? OMG, 3 years of reading the forums down the drain! I've been giving Charlie money for years by mistake! :eek: (Sorry - couldn't resist!) Terry

I have an RPTV with Sony's "Digital Reality Creation", which smells just like a fancy line-doubler to me. My wife always thought E* quality was good and didn't understand my complaints. So the other day, I fired up my old Chaparral Monterey BUD receiver and found a feed of the Fiesta Bowl...

Maybe that's how Charlie over at E* is working to lower Voom's value for a possible future purchase. He talked them into using Eldon to program their receivers! :D Terry P. S.: For the uninitiated, Eldon is the company doing the E* 921. There is ample evidence to lead a number of expert...

Oh, man, that sounds great! Can you pull the web-based trick with the HD DirecTivo DVR, too? Can you offload the recorded programs to permanently archive them? That'd be the final nails in E*'s coffin. I'll have to call D* and see if I can get distant nets, superstations, etc., etc., from...

I'd *love* to switch to D*, especially now that the hard drive on one of my E* 721s died last night, so I need to buy something anyway. What's been holding me back is D*'s attitude toward plugging a phone line into the receiver. I expect to be going *mobile* in a year or so, and, while D* is...

721s are OK If you really decide to go with Dish Network, and don't yet care about HD, the 721 is a good choide for the "watch one show while taping another" situation. I have two 721s, and they behave very well. The latest software release introduced a couple of bugs that I hope get fixed...
