    Drop HD Ultimate and get a Premium channel pack?

    Ok, so I currently have HD Ultimate on top of my top 200. Now that all the Voom channels are gone, the only reason to keep the Ultimate pack now (for me) is the movie channels, MGM HD, Universal HD, and especially HDNET Movies. I don't really care for the handful of other channels on that now...

    New HDTV upstairs, now I want HD for it too!

    I know this has been asked a lot, but I am looking for advice. I have a 622 on my hdtv downstairs, and the regular SD coax output up to my bedroom upstairs. This was fine until we bought a second HDTV for upstairs. Now the SD just rankles me, and I want good HD for the bedroom too. I...

    Too much good HD!! Not enough Space!

    Am I the only one? It seems like this coming TV season is a strong one, and there are a lot of shows I am very excited about!! But when I worked out how much space all the new (and returning favorite) HD shows are going to take up on my DVR, it worked out to 12 hours a week. I only have 30...

    Absolute Horror Story - Dish Customer Service

    Dish Customer service is awful. I am happy with the satellite service now, but the customer service is some of the worst I have ever experienced. True story, started a month ago. I was a long time dish subscriber, wanted to move from a 522 to a 622 for my new HDTV. Call late at...

    622 OTA Signal Strength - What is enough?

    I just bought an indoor OTA antenna yesterday, and I am trying to determine if I should just spring for an external antenna. I am getting all the stations I want (after a lot of fiddling) but while some are in the 80 to 90 range for signal strength, others are hovering between 65 and 70. I...

    New 622, two problems, lots of good

    I just had my new 622 installed yesterday. The install process went fine, but the ordering with the on-phone CSR's was a nightmare (something for another post, but just the short version I had to setup the install appointment 3 times, as Dish kept losing my order) I have noticed two problems...

    522: Buffers and Tuners

    I have just had my new 522 installed, it replaces my 510 and 311. So far, it is amazing, and I love it. There are two issues though that seem like they should be really easy to fix, but I cannot get them to work, and from what I can see, there is no way to. I have spent hours looking through...

    $148 for 522 lease upgrade???

    Ok, I have been monitoring the news of the newly available 522 for existing customers with some interest. My year commitment was up earlier this week, so I went in to check if I was eligible for the upgrade deal. When I logged in, it did show I was eligible, but it said that it was going to...

    501/508/510 Software Update

    Just got a new software update on my 510, looks like it was also for the 501 and 508. The software version is P2.21. Anyone know what the changes where? Anyone noticed anything different? I haven't seen anything different yet myself.

    DVR510 crashing and rebooting

    First let me say I have enjoyed the forum, and welcome all the great info. I am a new Dish customer, just 3 weeks now. Over the last few days, when we have been recording one show and watching another DVR recording on our 510, it has been spontaneously shutting down. It has done it now 3...
