thnks for your reply! someone is trying to sell me a dish 6000, is this
receiver any good?
The only thing it's good for is SD, I think. E* will not authorize any HD on that receiver anymore.
If you only want sd programing with an OTA antenna for HD local, this receiver should be alright although the guide takes a long time to download.
Possibly, possibly not. The 6000 had a user-installable ATSC tuner port. You had to buy it separately and install it yourself in the early days. But later, I think after Dish came out with the 811 they started sending out refurbed 6000's with the ATSC tuners installed, IIRC. I may be completely wrong about that however. What you need to do is look on the back of the unit and on the left hand side you should see the tuner. If it has no tuner, there will be a small metal plate covering a hole where the tuner would go.
