I may be finishing my basement this spring and installing a projection system down there. I think that I'm going to have to ask Dish for a second VIP622, the dual tuner HD dvr. But I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll just go with a VIP211, the single tuner HD receiver, no dvr. Anyone else have to upgrade service recently with Dish? What was the experience like?

How long have you been with Dish? I know a retailer that will work with you to "Dish it up" to a 2nd 622.

What projector are you going to put up?

I've been with Dish approx 6-9 months now. We had our issues, unfortunately. I always paid on time, but it took installers 4 visits to point and mount the dish correctly. So Dish took a verbal beating from me.

I'm just starting to look at projectors. Using cnet for research. I don't want to pay $10k for one so I probably won't go 1080p. Looking to pay no more than $2k. $1500 preferable.

Go to www.satelliteguys.us and ask in their HT section about projectors.

Let me know if you want to dish it up to a 2nd 622.

Hey MeHDTV, sent you a PM recently about Dishing Up. Can I get a good deal with this retailer?
