Satellite systems

[HADave]

Royall you might want to ask about service on the equipment, we rent ours and they still want to charge us for service calls and shipping on any replacement products. We had only one problem with a dual tuner and it turned out that the problem was a bad install, the cable end was poorly crimped at the switch, we have multiple satellites. Anyway after demanding their level2 tech person,@ Dish, troubleshoot the problem over the phone, was it discovered. Had I not demanded I would of had to pay a 99.00 service call plus shipping on any parts that needed replacement. Other than that we have enjoyed Dish Network for several years. We also had their HDTV receiver and the picture was good but the service people had no idea on connection tried to leave with only an s-video connection. It required a minimun of component cabling and we finally opted for a DVI (digital video interface) cable that we picked up at sears big difference in the picture quality. Still the HDTV recievers do not produce a digital hi-fi audio signal, standard rca jack out only, so if one has a theater system you'll be less than DVD quality, as far as sound goes. It didn't sound like you are into all the fancy stuff but please don't sign a commitment only to find out you have to pay to take care of their service issues..
