Dish Network Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2007

Awesome! New channels. Now, how will this affect the picture quality of the HD channels we've loved for months/years?

How did you do this? I can't even find where to associate my DISH account with my DishOnline.com account.

You have to go to dishonline.com and sign up an account. If you have a receiver to activate it will show you a button to do the activation. Pretty cool.
The choice goes away when you activate.

BTW folks, I would like to ask a favor if I may. I am seeing a lot of this report being posted on other websites, which I have no problem with (the internet is for sharing information) but please if you post it somewhere please post that the info came from SatelliteGuys.US.

Believe it or not a lot of folks don't know about us yet and by posting a link or the url helps us grow and brings more great members to our family.

Thanks!

It wont. (or so I am told)

It shouldn't. They are using the extra bandwidth they will save by moving all Voom-HD channels to MPEG4 on August 15th.

I have seen that in dishnetwork.com "my account" - I don't see anything at dishonline.com that is in any way associated with my dish account.

i am seeing posts that we are losing Disc HD Teater. Does that go away when DISC HD comes online/

[Scott Greczkowski]

No Discovery Theater HD is the best of Discovery Networks, and will feature longer features such as movies in the future.

Discovery Channel HD is just a HD clone of the real Discovery Channel.

Scott, how will the mapdown feature work after Discovery Channel HD is added?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Discovery HD theater will be removed as a mapdown. Discovery HD will be mapped down instead.
