    Is the 922 free yet?

    Hey guys...I didn't want to start a new thread, so thought I would ask this here because it's somewhat related. I have a 922 and 612. I would like to replace the 612 with an additional 922 (I like the UI). Anyway, I chatted with Dish to find out the costs (upgrade and monthly). They told me...

    So how would this effect eastern arc programming? Right now I just pick up 61.5 and 72.7.

    Anyone dropped Platinum from their HD & Platinum and kept "HD for Life?"

    Interesting. I've only had Dish Network service for 6 days. I'm gonna spend some time checking out the HD platinum channels and then decide if it's worth keeping for me.

    Audi or BMW? need help picking a car for my grad

    So far my Audi (2010 Q5) has been great, but it has only been a few months. I had 2007 GTI which was full of issues over the course of 2 years, namely:- -faulty brakes. About one week after buying it (new) I complained that the brakes were too soft, apparently there was an issue with the...

    New Customer - Should I be concerned?

    Great info, it clears things up. I am going to look into an OTA antenna. I still have comcast cable plugged into my tv as well, the community I am in provides us with 80 channels. But that is going straight to the tv, not through a dvr. I figure it will be good to have as a backup in case I...

    New Customer - Should I be concerned?

    What are E* channels? Not familiar with all the lingo. Thanks for all the help. Weird thing about the 922, it came with a short troubleshooting guide but no user manual. Anyway, I think I am okay with the picture now. I was talking to Dish today, and they told me I could mirror the 922 (or...

    Big Brother 12 Anticipation Thread

    Can't wait, although the start is conflicting with some heavy work stuff I need to take care of. But after the 9th, I'm 100% dedicated to this show. 3 episodes a week, After Dark, and of course the live feeds.

    Chuck-Season Finale What did you think? Possible Spoliers?

    Thought it was EPIC. Chuck never disappoints, and they know how to have a finale. The reveal to Ellie that Chuck was a spy happened in like the first 5 minutes, which was great. Would have hated to see that drawn out any longer.

    Audi or BMW? need help picking a car for my grad

    Thought I could help after reading the thread title, but I'm not familiar with those particular years. I (myself or immediate family) have had a 2003 330i, 2004 M3, and 2006 325xi (wagon). Currently I have a 2010 Q5. So I really have no idea what repairs would cost. Usually only had the above...

    New Customer - Should I be concerned?

    Thanks guys. With an OTA antennae, can I hook that up to the box and record shows on my DVR? I didn't know the installer. He saw that I wasn't happy with the picture and stuff, and basically said he's not supposed to...but will let me wait on signing. Like 1 or 2 days basically. I...

    New Customer - Should I be concerned?

    Hi guys, new to the forums and new Dish Network customer. Dude just installed it today. Basically I have a 1000.4 pointed towards the eastern arc. I am in a condominium, and can only pick up 61.5 and 72.7. I figured it was okay, because it didn't seem like 77 had any channels that I was...
