    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Well, although I'm not paying any more than I did before for this new service, I had been thinking about dropping Netflix because of it and perhaps raising the discs to 2 with Blockbuster. However, the website is incredibly clunky in comparison to Netflix (Qwickster), no multiple queues...

    9k level HD channels not in the schedule / time search?

    If you mean the Locks in the in the Main Menu then no, nothing is locked. I just noticed this was happening the other week, before that no issues and I haven't changed any settings on my 722. :confused: As for using the 9k channels, I chose to use them long ago because it keeps all the HD...

    9k level HD channels not in the schedule / time search?

    Hello, currently I have all my HD stations using the 9k level channels in my favorites lists and for all my timers.

    Has anyone noticed the new 722k DVR menu?

    Bleh! Just what we need, one more step to get to our recordings, and through a crappy looking menu no less... good job Dish, because we like going through clunky menu systems! My inlaws already have a tough enough time managing the remote and menus as it is. :P

    Timers empty

    Update... the wife had a brilliant idea... go in and change the timer frequency to all episodes and then back to new episodes... guess what!? It worked. :P :) The timers are now re-finding the episodes one by one. VERY WEIRD... Thank gawd we don't have to completely re-do all our timers, but I...

    Timers empty

    Hello, we were just double checking our DVR (722) to see if we had remembered to record Pacific. The schedule didn't show it was recording but I swore I had previously set it up to record. So, I went to look at my timers and the Pacific was there BUT it was empty... as if there was no new...

    More HD at what cost!

    C band sounds nifty but is it easily accessible? It doesn't appear to be something the average joe can easily set-up?

    The Sarah Connor Chronicles on FOX

    Very sad if this show isn't picked up for a third season... at least to wrap of the finale's cliff hanger and plot twist... *sigh* Perhaps wishful thinking but maybe Warner will move the show to another (cable) network?

    Fox HD heavy drop out/pixalization?

    Watched my recordings of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse tonight... no artifacts, no drops... smooth sailing... hope they permanently fixed the problem <crossing fingers>! On a side note, quite disappointed that Terminator: TSCC will most likely not get a third season...

    Fox HD heavy drop out/pixalization?

    We had issue's with our recording of House tonight... seems as if it got worse the later it got... as 24 was starting it was really horrible. My wife had an interesting observation that it always seems to be bad/worse in the evening after 8pm... coincidence?
