The biggest reason our family hasn't adopted the online/streaming model for viewing movies is lack of closed captions... Xbox, PS3, Netflix, Vudu none of these offer closed captions. Will XStreamHd offers these on their content? We all know the closed captions are there (in the BD and DVD...

Working or non-working, $50 + reasonable shipping. Pay via paypal.

I am seeing no shows, and just the dish network logo for the "box covers" I assume it will eventually show on the Dish Online screen. It will lockup 50% of the time when I navigate within the Dish Online menu, but it comes back after a minute or two (no need to reboot). So far nothing else...

Does this mean they "offered" you the two hr20's for free or did you have to pay (199 first, 299 second)?

I think I jumped on the E* bandwagon a little too soon a couple months back when I subbed to them... W/Directv's VOD and HD offerings I am looking to switch. Anyone know of a good way to get a free HD DVR for signing up (instead of the $199)? If anyone knows of a local (Seattle area) or...

My prior comcast service had no such issue, so if it is in the source then they must have been applying some normalization to it somewhere in the signal path...

I started noticing this in the last week, so I don't know if it is new or an old problem... I just got a 722 w/new Dish service a couple weeks ago. Anyway - the SD channels are much louder than the HD channels... are there any workarounds? I have the receiver connected via toslink to my...

I had a similar same issue last weekend and posted in the tech forum. Play around with the receiver until it gets non repsonsive, press a few more buttons, and it reboots after a minute or so of being nonresponsive. I haven't had much time to play around with it since then... I will ask...

I just got dish installed last Wednesday and got a 722 (as I requested). I am in the Seattle area and the installer installed two dishes, 1 for 110 and 119 and one for 129 (24"). I have three issues... 1. When mucking around with the DVR timers (I have about 30 now) I occasionally peg...

Well, I signed up w/Dishstore installation set for Monday. I was a little surprised at the fact there is only a 3 day cancellation/return policy though. Was hoping to have a little more time to compare w/my Comcast cable.

Anyone want to give me a ClubDish card? It looks like I might be subbing to Dish in the next day or so... I can use the ClubDish promo w/Dishnet so someone might as well get the benefit. First person that PM's me with a clubdish will get the benefit!

Thanks! - I had seen that, but it still seems to detail the promotions that expired on 8/14 (hd rebate for one thing). Those details were not the same as what was being explained to be by Dishstore when I called yesterday. They probably just haven't had a chance to update their website - I...

I need the following: 1 622 or 722 Looking for AT250 w/HD channels and Seattle Locals (or getting the locals OTA if possible) Standard installation (house is already wired w/RG6 from exterior to media panel and from media panel to TV). What is the best deal *right now*? I see...

Get Sage! (sorry couldn't resist :) ) You trained MCE to use the VOOM remote correct? When MCE changes channels do you see the LED on the front of the VOOM receiver blink? It blinks everytime it detects a valid IR code. If it is not blinking do your have the IR emitter connected to the...

I have several ota stations such as pbs that are 21-1, 21-2, 21-3, and 21-4 - does anyone know how to tune those channels directly using the remote (and not using channel up/down or guide)? The reason I ask is I have a PVR system that sends channel changes using the 0-9 buttons. Some STBs...
