Nope, only the HD models have USB 2.0 ports. Can't do it for the standard def receivers.

I do installs for Dish in San Antonio. Give these folks a call. 1-877-643-3474 Promo Code# AM5967 Even if you don't live in the San Antonio, they should be able to get you a better deal than if you call Dish directly.

I do installs for Dish in San Antonio and it has been really slow almost all year. Right after the NFL playoffs it has slowed down big time. It picked up a little bit here and there and now we're having a shortage on the 625/522 recievers right now so that doesn't help things. Hopefully things start to pick up here soon. Although, I had heard the other markets here in Texas have been doing well. I'm not sure whats going on down here.

Sucks for me. I do installs for Dish, and things are slow enough. Hopefully, they work it out...

"I live in PA and some people have told me that because my location I would need to have to dishes on my house to get HD channels. Is this true? I really need to have TWO dishes on my house. Any info would really help. Also I currently have the Dish 500 installed."

Looks like you will need both. NY, Boston, & Phili are all carried on 61.5 and not 129 like most of the country.
