    Hard Drive Bargain Watch

    HD Size and how many? I have searched for a couple of hours (Probably not using the correct search words) and can't find if the 622 now supports more than a 1TB drive? Wa also wondering what the maximum amount of external drives was for each receiver. THANKS! :) BTW, I have a Seagate Free...

    Uplink Activity Report - 11/19/2008 1:02pm - 124 changes

    TULSA I wonder why they put the Tulsa Channels up in HD and decided not to make them "live"? Disappointing to say the least. :confused:

    622 Guide out of date?

    I must say I am somewhat relieved to see that I am not the only one with this problem. I was afraid my 622 had a problem with the database or file system. I have also forced the download many times and rebooted to no avail. I hope E* is aware of this. I won't bother calling because they...

    Dish 622/722 L449 Software Release Notes

    I am glad to hear that I am not the only one. I thought it was stuck in a loop or something. The same screens over and over (vital software being downloaded) after a reboot. Been at it for about 2 hours so far.

    Whats up with Monsters HD programming?

    Tomorrow is a "marathon" on MonstersHD, so yes, there are more than 2 movies that day. Page through the program guide after that and you will see that MOST days are 2 movies for every 24 hour period starting about 7PM CST. It is NOT just the 2 movies thing, but the fact that they pulled pretty...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    The program guide is updated now, but we get 2 or 3 movies per day repeated for a 24 hour period. It's nearly all low budget stuff that costs a LOT less to broadcast than the big studio films. It's just not worth it to me anymopre. Wish I had more choices in my area.

    Whats up with Monsters HD programming?

    I love Hammer films, BUT all the ones they are showing are available on DVD and in this case, they don't really look better in HD, especially since they started compressing the heck out of everything. I wish we could get a few thousand people to complain because it would take a LOT of...

    Whats up with Monsters HD programming?

    I reloaded my program guide and it looks like it is pretty accurate for the most part now. Looks like VOOM has really went low budget as the 2 or 3 movies per day seems to be the norm now for the movie oriented channels. It all seems to be low royalty or rights payments programming also. Guess...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    Thanks and that is exactly what I was thinking. I will be the first to admit I watch TOO much TV and saw the exact patterns of what was happening. I don't think all the people posting are reading the whole thread about the MonstersHD schedule being changed, posts disallowed on the website, etc...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    Conspiracy!!! Man, I come here as a new person to share my opinion and what I have found about a problem and now I am accused of being some kind of idiot who says there is a conspiracy. If you have worked for large corporations most of your life, you know that the employees and consumers are...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    I just got a response from DISH and they stated that they have no control over what VOOM shows. Hmmm... I thought DISH acquired VOOM. Typical BS like everytime I call. I am fed up with all the lies and secrecy about the future plans. I switched to DISH for the Tulsa HD channels which were...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    It is pretty obvious from the new scheduling that this is a cost cutting move. If you don't broadcast as many movies, you don't have to pay as much in rights. If you look at the different VOOM movie oriented channels during a 24 hour period, you will see this is happening to all of them -...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    Yes, and it is not just FilmFest, but the other VOOM movie channels as well. The same couple of movies for nearly the last 24 hours. It's great for us to pay $20 per month for HD and get the same content back to back for who knows how long... NOT! :mad: As I mentioned earlier, it is obvious...
