    Dish Online finally works?

    Thank you for your response, TG2. It works fine with 2 windows 7 PC's, an android phone, and IPOD touch. The problem is with the Thrive.

    Dish Online finally works?

    Since the updated DOL android app, after about 3 minutes, my Toshiba Thrive loses the connection and asks me if I want to capture the stream from another device? There is no other device connected. Every other app works fine on the Thrive. I'm guessing the DISH app has a problem. It was fine...

    BBC America no world news

    We need an international news package with: BBC World News CNN International Deutsche Welle France 24 Al Jazeera English CBC RT CNN-Domestic & the networks are too "dumbed-down" and lacking in depth international (and domestic) coverage.

    New Customer - Is the 922 right for me?

    I agree with JEFFinINDY. For me. the 922 works fine. I'm very happy with the Sling feature and it is very reliable. My only complaint is the inability to record directly onto an EHD. I hope that gets fixed with software updates at some point.

    New version of 922??

    I like mine also. The remote access has been working very well with my Toshiba laptop, D-Link N-router, and Verizon FIOS internet. I added the MT2 module to be able to receive PBS, CW and independent OTA locals in HD. The graphics in the EPG are excellent as are the icon-based menus. The 922...

    External HD On VIP 922- What Is The Benefit?

    I had an online chat with a DISH technical support person about whether you could set up the 922 to record directly onto an external HD. I have a Toshiba 1 TB HD hooked up to the 922, He told me "no." He said the only current use for an external HD on the 922 is to access shows recorded on that...

    922 Sling Setup Instructions

    My 922 is working fine after 11 days and six days after installation of the MT2 module for OTA local channels. I can watch on my laptop anywhere inn the house. I don't know how many dissatisfied 922 customers there are but for me, so far so good. It's doing everything I wanted.

    A recent Dish VIP 922 review

    Day No. 11 with VIP 922 and 6 days after MT2 module installed. No problems! It also recognized Toshiba external 1 TB drive. Had laptop on DISH remote access for several hours in the kitchen while holiday cooking. No problems. HD not as good as directly watching on TV but quite adequate. Steady...

    A recent Dish VIP 922 review

    My 922 was just installed today. It replaced a 622. At installation, it took over an hour for the software to update. We had access to TV Everywhere within 2 hours. No problems once it was setup. The UI on the unit is slick. Great graphics! My laptop received an excellent HD picture throughout...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Hopefully two times is a charm. I have a dual dish 61.5, 110, 119 setup right now. They are coming today (8 AM-12 Noon). The first attempt (three weeks ago), the tech told me "no one told me I needed a 1000.4 DISH for this job and I don't have one in my truck." He fixed my LNB drift (-7) on 61.5...

    Big International News But No BBC-World Or CNN-International On DISH

    I appear to have read it and what you say is obvious. Every human being is influenced by their own experiences. The track records of these channels is that they do the best job of covering what many people perceive as important news. Other networks do a less good job. Of course there are no...

    Big International News But No BBC-World Or CNN-International On DISH

    That's rather condescending. I follow news stories because I think they're important. Those stations cater to the desire for important news. I have travelled oversees many times. I can make judgments about what is important. Other viewers also. Give us a little credit Mr. kstuart.

    Big International News But No BBC-World Or CNN-International On DISH

    And therefore, it could be included in an international news package which peoplem could pay a separate fee for. CNN-I, BBC-W, DW, CBC, ITN, ABC from Australia.

    Big International News But No BBC-World Or CNN-International On DISH

    But there is more in-depth coverage about international economic news, issues between Russia and Georgia, the situation in Iran, the coup in Honduras, the political crisis in Japan, Chinese ethnic problems (need I go on?). Try to find much of that on CNN-Domestic, MSNBC, or FAUX News. Good...
