Can you verify your receivers? Most of the model numbers you list do not exist.

I think it's a 625 (dual non hd dvr) and 811 (single hd non dvr). You could swap the 811 with a 211 for $49.99. You will have to move to the HD Gold Package anyways. The difference is $10.00 and you get the Voom channels + ESPN2 and Universal in the HD package.

I assume you mean "E*" (EchoStar or DishNetwork). Most of the non-HD stuff and your SD locals are on sat locations 110 and 119 and a lot of the national HD content is at 61.5 and mirrored at 129. A single Dish 1000 with its 3 LNBs could pick up 110, 119, and 129, but you might be in the "marginal area" for the 129 in which case you'd be better off with one dish for 110 and 119 and a separate dish for the 61.5. Part of your answer, tho', is where your HD locals will come from if they're not available already. You might want to get your local HDs off sat in which case your set-up will need to include that one as well. Provide your zip code which can tell us what your DMA is and we can answer that last question...

zip is 21853

so far i can get nbc and fox via distant network, still working on the wavers, and possible signal strength test per SHVIA for abc and cbs.
