Re: Dish selection

Since your boss just wanted something similiar to cable and you have two TV's; one HD plasma and one small SD TV, you might want to consider Dish's new DVR 921. It has dual tuners, a 250 GB hard drive and a channel modulator that down converts HD into SD so non-simulcast HD programming can be watched on the SD TV. It comes with one RF remote you could use with the Plasma in one room and then request a second IR only remote to operate the sat box in the other room with the SD TV. That way you can have the plasma in the room without extra equipment. Of Course you will need a long component/audio cable to get to the plasma from the sat box, so don't keep them too far apart. You can use Extron 10 conductor pro-wire if you want one neat high quality cable to bring HD video and audio to the plasma. Call Dish and ask for any promotions. There is a lot of stiff competition in the satelite industry right now. You would probably be wise to call Direct and Voom too, to see what they are offering at the moment.
