Situation:
Switched from cable 3 months ago, had a major contract dispute with Dish because they lied to me about the promotions and pricing and I had to file complaints with the Attorney General to get their attention. Basically it's been hell, had the installers out 3 times due to signal loss, spent countless hours on the phone trying to get my contract straightened out, and I've regretted every minute of it and am counting the days until my contract is up. Until then, I'm trying to make the best of it.
I have the HD Bronze package and use antennas to pick up all 7 local channels. I have 3 TVs hooked up right now, 1 HD plasma and 2 regular TVs. I'm now adding a second DLP HDTV in the basement and am looking for the cheapest way possible to get HD signals down to the basement. My house is pretty well wired with 3 cable jacks per TV so I can do in/out's pretty easily.
I called Dish today and they said I'd have to buy another receiver for $300+ plus another $5 a month for the new receiver, there were no lease options. To me this is ridiculous when I'm going to be switching back to cable as soon as possible.
What are my other options? I have a ViP211-HD hooked up to the plasma and a DISHPRO 322 for the other two TVs. I rarely use one of those and could get away with 1 TV.... basically I wish the dual tuner was on the HD box intead of the standard def box.
Any advice?
