Questions For Dish Network

[dfergie]

Let us know what information you want to hear from Dish Network as Scott and goailebob will be doing the Live spots and the rest of us will be around...

I would like to know if Dish is still planning on updating the DVRs to support multiple external USB harddrives. My 750GB drive is getting mighty crowded. :D

HD Programming is obvious. So is the 922.

I also want to know about future satellite plans. When is E14 going up? Where is E15 going, and when is it going up? What are they doing at 86.5? Any Ka plans? Reverse DBS plans? More broadly, what are their plans for increasing bandwidth for HD?

Do they plan on repointing eastern subs to the EA?

When they expect to have the new sat. up and running at 129.

When might we start to see local HD PBS stations. I had rather have my local PBS than a lot of the national HD that is planned. Thanks.

dfergie,
I would really like to know what Dish's plan is for expading the limited HD service they are providing to Alaska (& Hawaii). They have had several new channels loaded on one of the 110 spots for over a month which are still hidden. Direct TV is now offering a one dish solution that includes all their HD in AK, and our local cable company is now offering more HD than we are getting from E*. If we don't see something from E* very soon, I am likely to switch to Direct (the only thing that has held me back so far is my Dish DVR, but my patience is wearing thin....).
Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox...have fun at CES!!
Thanks

What is the purpose of the "test" hd channel?

[Pistol]

My questions concern the new 922 and when will Dish add Fox News to the Hd channels. FoxNews is the only channel I have found that provides both sides for the conservative and liberal arguments. I enjoy hearing both arguments and then making up my own mind more than CNN's approach of only telling the viewer what is politically correct and always full of bias and bull. Thanks for reporting and keep up the good work

Here is a question from the main E* forum. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/160058-nfl-sunday-ticket-yes-i-know-its-not-available-dish-network.html
Will E* make a bid for NFL Sunday Ticket when D*'s exclusive contract expires?

Oh really? The Big Picture | Your Choice in Media Determines How Uninformed You Are (http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2007/07/your-choice-in-.html)
Guess you wanna hear those whooshes and swishes in 5.1 surround. Now every idiot channel does the noise. Thx FOX

[MW390]

Yeah...and ask them why so many people with DTVPAL DVRs are having so much trouble, why are the tech people so uninformed, why the warranty is only 90 days ,why customers like me (10 years) have to call and order it, and why are SO many people on the AVSforum having re-boots, no TVGOS, and recordings being carved up because of TVGOS download. Oh and re-boots while watching. Glad I kept 1 of my Sonys.

[HDRoberts]

A few specific questions Ive thought of on HD programming: Is the Voom litigation effecting negotiations for AMC and IFC? Is there any thoughts of when those might come, besides soon?

Any plans to add more Comcast Network HDs like E!?

Any SD programming planned, like Logo, AmericanLife TV, Sprout, qubo, or Fit TV et. al?

[db2]

1. EHD support on the 222k. When will it happen and will it be a one time charge or monthly DVR fee?
2. Why hasn't ESPNU HD been lit up yet? Not just when is it coming but why don't we have it yet?

[JeremyL]

When will Charlie get back in the game and carry MLB Extra Innings?

[dfergie]

Keep them coming :) and please no political references ;)

[tomcrown1]

Yea will Dish do the right thing and carrie the Sub digital channels in the local markets???

[b0471@kzhosting.com]

What local channels are scheduled to be switched to HD in 2009?

[Ganthet]

I'm curious if Noggin and The N will be split this year. It would sure be nice on family TV night with the little one.

[FAiello]

When are they gona fix the HDMI problem and Eastern Arc choppy video problem with the VIP222 receiver?

[jacmyoung]

What is E*'s plan for multi-room-viewing to counter ATT Uverse?
