    Hopper Max Record one time

    Thinking about upgrading to the Hopper with Sling built in. Not really interested in the Primetime Recording. If that is not running, how many programs can be recorded at a time? With the 722 I have it can do two. Also, If I am watching Sling, does that cut one recording slot out? Thanks!

    The Movie Channel- HD?

    Recently took advantage of the upgrade to Gold promotion. Was looking at the HD for that package and the Dish Website seems to say that The Movie Channel (on channel 329 and 330) are in HD. On my guide they just show up in SD. Could someone confirm if they get those channels in HD? Thanks!

    Home Powerline Connection- Works Well??

    Was trying to consolidate and clean up my TV setup and was looking at the Powerline connection Dish has. My router is upstairs so it would have to send signal downstairs but not real far. I have good internet speed and am planning on using the new Blockbuster Movie Pass with my 722k. Will it...

    Was interested in the Sling Adapter. Have a new 13inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i5. The compatibility test fails. Says I need at least 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo chip. The 2.3GHz i5 is no slouch.

    First Snow- No signal

    In SC we are getting our first decent wet, heavy snow. Lost complete signal. I went and brushed off the snow from the dish but still no signal. I am on the Eastern Arc with a VIP612 HD DVR.

    VIP 612 Sound Drop Issues

    Wanted to know if any VIP612 owners have had an issue where the sound will drop but if you hit the skip back button the sound will be back. So the sound is not truly gone as it comes back when you rewind it. Dish sent me another box and it is happening less but still happening. I am on the...

    SlingGuide Beta- VIP612

    In the Tech Forum Monday night the guy from Sling mention that the Sling Guide would work with the VIP612. I have tried to get it to work with my VIP612 and it says the DVR is not on the internet. I know it is and figure a software update may be needed for the VIP612. Has any VIP 612 owners got...

    Charlie Chat = New Spring HD

    On this week's Tech Forum they mentioned a Charlie Chat sometime in early March. I guess that could be considered Spring. Would it make since for Charlie to announce new HD then? I was not on E* when they added all the new HD last year. Did they do it at a Charlie Chat last year?

    Ciel-2 Eastern Arc

    How is the new Ciel-2 going to effect the Eastern Arch subs? I do not think we will be using it. If they need it for more HD capacity what will Eastern Arc users do or do we already have enough capacity to add more HD? Thanks!
