    does a VCR work on Tuner 2?

    I have been trying to install a VCR to the 2nd TV on one of those 625 dual turners and it doesn't work. I have a VCR hooked up to Tuner 1 and it works fine but I just can't get it to work on 2. I'd appreciate some help on this.

    No more Fox news for Dish Latino Max customers

    You are right. Apparently they left the free preview longer than they intended. I assumed they had added the channel to the Latino max package since they added it to the top 100. Looks like I'll be getting the news exclusively from the net. I don't watch CNN etc.

    No more Fox news for Dish Latino Max customers

    Less affluent subscribers cause of DISH woes? Say it ain't so Chuckles!!!

    The less affluent customer comment is BS. IF Dish were the leader in HD they wouldn't be saying this crap. HD is the reason D* is kicking E* butt right now. There are more poor people that have basic cable ( no digital box) than Satellite TV. How many of the 13.8 million Dish subcribers do...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    As of today : 119 TP 11: 57 110 TP 11: 47 The meter shows anything below 11 as no signal. Earlier today I lost signal for the Documentary Channel for a couple minutes. When the signal returned I checked it and it was at 11. ( now the signal is at 25) Winds have been really bad here(...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    Yes I do but it doesn't tell you by how much it has been changed. That flashing message has been there for months and I have never had such low signal strength reading. Do they change the signal strength frequently??

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    57 on transponder 11 sat 119 50 on transponder 11 sat 110 Maybe the modified signal meter was reduced by 40. Maybe the 57 means 97 etc. I have never lost signal and the dish doesn't look like it has moved. ( bolts are really tight) I am just curious why my readings seem low. When...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    There has been some strong winds the last few days in my area. I checked the bolts on the dish and every one of them is really tight. It doesn't look like my dish has moved.

    I get my local channels through Dish, not OTA.

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    The signal strength on channels 100 and above are in the 50's and 60's while my local channels are in the high 90's and 100's. Why the discrepancy between local and satellite channels??

    Charlie Talks About New HD in 2008

    What good is it to have channels that have the HD logo on the corner of the screen but no HD programming? A lot of those so called HD channels are nothing but stretch-o-vision. Just remember, patience is a virtue.

    Charlie Talks About New HD in 2008

    When it is all said and done both of these providers are going to have the same amount of HD channels. By the time everybody out there has an HD television both providers will offer the same programming. The decision on which one you choose will come down to hardware.(E*'s hardware kicks ass)
