How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

I thought you could pay for it and download it. It could sit on your hard drive for a year if needs be. However, once you started watching it ... even a few seconds, then the timer kicked in and you only had 24 hours to watch it.

I don't see this on my 622. Do i need to wait for new s/w?

[DishSubLA]

Any movie or TV show that was filmed on FILM (not video tape) is actually a higher resoloution than 1080p or 1080i

But the TV producers don't want to have to pay to transfer legacy TV Movies that weren't even filmed in the correct aspect ratio. TV folks and broadcasters are CHEAP. The movie studios have much more compelling content with incredible special effects that make much more economic sense considering that the public values the movie watching experience more than TV shows and the studios are already transferring their library to Blu-ray for 1080p. It's not about the technology, my friend. It is about the economics.

And what is the correct aspect ratio for a TV movie ?

I apparently got the update last night on my 622. I turned TV on and the picture was horrible. The convergence was way out of wack. Never had this problem before, so I am wondering if the output has changed in some shape or form... Very bizarre...

What is the New software version for the VIP 622 to get 1080P and VOD channel 501?

[M Sparks]

Secondly, a good 1080i broadcast with sufficient bandwith given will look much more detailed and 3D on a large 1080p panel than on a 720p panel simply due to much higher resolution.

Detailed...absolutely.

"3D"?

L6.10

What software version do you have? (Press Menu twice). I've only seen L610 going to the 722 receivers.

I have 622dvr.
I cannot see the channel 501 PPV., but I do see some new HD channels.
I still have L512.

The Dish website says "all existing subs" have been turbocharged.

Is anyone else in the same boat?
