I watch AHS off my DVR and it really looks godawful. The dark areas are so noisy and macro-blocked I can barely watch it. Apparently this is not true for everyone on Dish Network, and other shows, even other FX shows, look great, so it doesn't seem to be something about my particular system...

Hi Folks, I have a very specific image quality question I'll be asking in another post, but I realized I am pretty ignorant about how Dish Network transmission works and I'm hoping some kind soul will provide me an explanatory link or help me understand the following questions. This will help...

I have noticed frequent audio dropouts that last about a half second in DVR recorded materials on my 722. My wild guess is that this happens when a video file is fragmented each time the drive head has to seek to the next segment of data. Anyone else seen this? If my guess is right is there a...

Just ordered the 722 sling adaptor and Im wondering something kind of basic. If I'm watching on a laptop at home will the system recognize that and use my in-home bandwidth or will the data be sent out to Dish or my ISP and back somehow limiting it to my ISP bandwidth? If the system won't use...

Is it true I have to order the sling adapter to watch shows recorded on my 722 DVR? Thanks!

Is there a way to set a recording based on arbitrary start and finish times rather than a guide event?

NEVERMIND. I finally got past the screen.

Okay, I ordered the SD to HD upgrade. What do I need to watch out for when the installer comes? My worry is that my location won't be able to see all the sats necessary for all the HD channels. Is it all or nothing or is there a sort of half-assed half the HD channels install?

I'm looking at doing a SD to 922 upgrade. Is there any indication about whether the 922 will be the platform for the announced Dish+Google TV deal or does it seem like something completely different that will make me cry when I'm locked into a 24 month contract?

Hi Folks: Looks like I'll be upgrading to Dish HD. I have a couple of questions about the current HD DVRs. I can't get over the air programming, so that's not an issue. Right now I have one DVR and one non-DVR box for the two TVs in my house, which works fine. I do like snazzy new...

Okay I finally bought an HD receiver and TV. Now I have the choice of upgrading my currently month-to-month Dish Network to HD or getting Comcast HD which just came to our neighborhood 6 month ago. I currently have Comcast internet & phone. Is there a big difference in quality? I know the...

I'm going to jump to hi def next year, probably after the 922 is released. Will I need to get a new dish antenna? The one I have is "Dish 500" compatible and I also used it for satellite internet for a while. Also, will I need to schedule an installer or is it just a matter of swapping in a...

I have a receiver in the guest room (an old 300 series - no dvr) and it only gets used every few months. Almost every single time I'm about to have guests and I go back to check on it I get the "Congratulations you have Dish 500!" channel and the receiver will only tune to the free channels...

Hi folks: This is not meant to start any kind of flame war please. I've been a Dish DVR (501) subscriber (no cable available) for 7 years and have generally had a good experience. I am on the verge of jumping to HD - looking into new tv, new amp, new dvr, etc. I have found out Comcast is...

I got a robocall and then a warning popped up on my screen last night about smart card expiration...but I've received no new card. Do I need to be worried or are they late?

I don't have an HDTV or HD service from Dish. (Someday soon perhaps.) Anyway I have always been glad that HD shows that are shown on SD channels are letterboxed so the image doesn't get cropped. Last night, however, I noticed a number of HD shows were suddenly cropped that didn't used to be...

Twice in the last week my 522 forgot all of its timers. What could be causing this? Thanks!

Now that Comedy Central is going HD I'm getting very close to upgrading. But I still want to keep just a few SD channels, like my locals (whose HD signals Dish doesn't carry) and Turner Classic. Is there a package that allows HD and some SD? Since Dish doesn't carry my locals is there...

Hey folks: I'm this close to upgrading my whole Dish-based home thater system to HD. (If Dish announces Comedy Central HD I'm there.) My only concern is that we still watch a lot of SD channels that aren't HD yet. How is the upscaling of such channels? Will I perceive it as actually worse...
