Just Switched to BH from Dish. A few questions

[jcarrera]

the box they gave has an outdated user interface.

That may fix itself when the system "notices" your version is old.

I hope it updates. The interface is pretty plane. Any way to force an update? I've hooked it up to the internet but I don't know if it really does anything. The remote DVR is not available in my area. (It seems my area is very limited) Also, for some reason the 4:3 override had to be reset each time I turn on my TV through my Onkyo receiver. I run the HDMI through it. If I just turn on the TV and box it retains the setting. (I've got a through setting on the receiver)

Your system there south of town is a bit different than Birmingham. I'm checking into additional channels for your area...this will likely take a day or two.

Were you able to find out anything? I hoping for good news

Sorry no. I will be meeting with our Video Ops people next week and will be discussing it then.

Thanks for your help. I will wait patiently and anxiously for what you find out.

Unfortunately, I had to switch to BH when I moved recently. Too many trees for me to keep Dish. I hope they add many HD channels.

Do you live in the Wetumpka area as well?

Edit: Just saw that you are. I've been happy with BH Wetumpka so far. Yes, you are losing a bunch of HD channels and on demand coming from Dish. However, I've chatted with some guys on this site and a regional supervisor. Changes are coming! I was told by a local supervisor that 2012 would be a big year for upgrades to the system that covers our region. I don't know what those changes are yet but you will find them out here or at the local Montgomery area site (check your PM). I will say that the pictures quality seems better on BH. If you subscribe to everything, including premiums, BH Wetumpka has 53 HD channels. Hopefully we'll see 100 like their other locations soon. I also didn't like their set top box. You might not either coming from Dish. I went with a TIVO. Still, nothing compares to those Dish boxes.

Yep, the HD looks pretty good on BH. I subscribe to the HD without premiums or sports (if there is a sports HD package.) I don't watch anything thats not HD and they don't have but a couple of premium hd channels so I don't subscribe. Hopefully, your BH contact is right. I would like to see many more HDs soon.

[jtrippe]

Just an FYI, I just got a "pass " bundle added to my main bundle. Sports pass, movie pass and HD pack for $10. They are usually $7 each. Only adds 5 HD channels. I bet we get a good report back on new HD channels.

Make sure you get an answer other than the generic, about
Android!
