A friend of mine gave me 3 direct tv D-200 receivers and 2 phase III dishes he found. I'm curious about something 2 of the receivers say extension 722 and one says ext 711. What do the extensions mean. I heard if you get a clear receiver you can subscribe without a contract, is the 711 clear?

No such thing as a "Clear" recvr.
711 and 722 basically means your not authorized to view the channel, you haven't subbed to it.
The recvrs you have are VERY old and the dishes are two, none of which are used regularly anymore.
722 - authorizations have expired
711 - Service has expired.
Similar but different OSD
the osds will not tell you if they came from a clean account or not your going ot have to call.

actually SD only installs (and locals are not MPEG4) are still getting either 18" dishes or Phase III's
The STILL install the 18" dish ?????
WOW ....
Isn't the 72 sat gone yet and everything changed over to teh new sats yet ...
Yea, if you are doing SD ONLY & are in a 101 locals market, which is pretty much all the larger markets (NY, LA, Chicago, St. Louis, etc.)
P3 dishes are STILL used for SD only in 119 locals markets (there's about 2 dozen+ of those)
see above - 72.5 has nothing to do with the above markets.
The ONLY markets that get slimlines standard regardless of SD or HD on ALL new installs, are the MPEG4 local markets &/or 72.5 markets (which are ALL duplicated in MPEG4 now)
