I posted this in the Technical forum also, but hardly anyone reads that forum so I'm posting here to see who else has seen the same problem. Starting around last Friday, I see it every time we tune in the Encore HD channel, Channel #9595 or 340. Signal strength is 60 to 65 (about as good as...

Wife says she has seen this over the past few days, but I just picked up on it Friday night. Now I see it every time we tune in the Encore HD channel, Channel #9595 or 340. Viewing off of a Dish ViP 722 (less than 2 months old, but a refurb of course) on a Dish 1000.2 system. Signal strength...

Anyone know the link to find the full color cut sheets on the various Dish receivers? I used to be able to find it on Dish's site, but no more, no matter how I search. In particular I'm looking for the cut sheet (2 page color brochure) on the Dish ViP722 (not the "k") DVR. Any help would be...

So now, after 10 years with Dish and 6 years with Dish HD, I finally have a DVR (ViP722) to go with my 3 month old Sony KDL-52Z5100, 1080p, 240 Hz, LCD HDTV, and I'm looking for those 1080p movies from Dish that I used to read about in this forum. But, I can't find any evidence of them in my...

I decided to look at my Dish account and see what current offers are available for an upgrade to a two tuner DVR. The site says I can get a HD DuoDVR Receiver for $50 (shipped). Then as a second option it says I can get an Enhanced HD DuoDVR Receiver for $75 shipped. All well and good, but...

Noticed for the past two or three Saturday evenings that Starz no longer has a new, weekly premier movie scheduled. What's up with that? If they keep recycling all the old stuff and don't give up a major premier at least once a week, my Dish dollars may be re-directed soon. My wife, the movie...

I was looking over equipment upgrade options for my account on the Dish site and saw something that didn't seem to make any sense. Dish states that I can upgrade to a two room DVR for $50 shipped or $75 installed. But, if I upgrade to a one room DVR, the ViP612 I assume, I can't get it...

The title says it all. Seems like I haven't heard anything about D*'s HD-Lite for some time. Are they equal to or better than Dish now? Would appreciate comments from those who have looked at both recently.

For weeks now my wife has been complaining about blackout frames while watching Starz HD in the evening. Well I stayed up late and watched several Starz HD movies the other night and she was right. Every few minutes the video would go black, like a frame was being skipped or like a frame was...

Tuned into the Illinois-Mizzou game on ESPN_HD this evening and I thought my eyes weren't focusing. The blur in the PQ of the full field shots at the snap was awful. Realized that it wasn't my eyes, so I thought maybe it was just a bad hookup from the game site through ESPN to Dish. Checked...

Watching the first event coverage this morning, women's volleyball, on my E* LiL NBC channel (KUSA-DT), I was disappointed in the PQ. Very soft, not at all sharp (actually almost blurred). I switched to OTA and the PQ improved significantly, but then I noticed a lot of pixillation. The...

The TV2 signal from my Dish ViP222 is SD and I can readily convert it to composite or S-video with Rat Shack RF converter. However, the TV to which I now want to send that TV2 signal (an older HDTV) can now longer properly display inputs to its analog ports (RF, composite, or s-video) due to an...

I recently had an upgrade to a Dish 1000.2 antenna and two Dish HD receivers. There are two lines running from the 1000.2 to a dual grounding block and two single lines running from the dual grounding block to each of the two receivers. My question is, if I add a third HD receiver, other...

My Dish 500 was recently upgraded to a Dish 1000 (3 LNBs) for satellites 110, 119, and 129 as I upgraded my receivers from a Dish 811 to a ViP211 and a ViP222. I've noticed that some contributors to this forum make note of having a Dish 1000+ or a Dish 1000.2. What's the difference and how...

OK guys, I just got off the phone with Dish regarding my current billing. I noted that for the first time in nine years with Dish that I'm being charged $5.37/month in County, City, District, and State taxes. They tell me that I should have been charged that for the past 9 years. I thought...

Just got the dishHD Essentials package for AT250 last Saturday (no more 5 channel HDPak for me) so I'm looking at the All HD guide list and I'm really impressed, at first. Then I realize that almost every channel, including my HD locals, is repeated at least twice at different channel numbers...

This may sound like a dumb question, but I've never owned or used a dual tuner satellite receiver so I don't have any practical experience with one. For the dual tuner VIP222, if one wanted to use the second tuner for PIP on the TV that the main tuner was providing picture, would one need two...

I'm considering an upgrade to a Dish VIP211 HD receiver. Are all of the outputs from the VIP211 hot all the time (i.e., can I still pull an s-video signal off of the receiver while I'm using the HDMI port to watch my TV)? I know that there is only one tuner, that isn't an issue. I currently...

I have a 3-1/2 year old Dish 811 with the P388 software. So I'm watching a Starz movie channel and I'm in my Favorites list for Movies. I click on the EPG. I click it again and again to move through my 4 Favorites lists and the All Channels and All Subs lists. Lo and behold, my Favorites...

Buried in a few posts in all the other discussions has been the sad fact that E* just "flipped off" all those 811 owners who were patiently waiting to upgrade to an HD-DVR. Since the 942s were released, E* hasn't wanted the existing subs to move to it because the MPEG-4 DVRs were coming in...

The title says it all. I get Starz and CM as my premium movie channels (wife's choice; we've had them all). On Starz there is at least one channel that broadcasts movies, at least some of the time, in DD. On CM, nada, never! It is frustrating to watch the Saturday premiere movie on CM and...

Anyone with a JVC DVD-R (DR-MV1s or DR-MV10) figured out how to make the IR Blaster control work with a Dish 811 receiver? I have mine setup so it will successfully turn on the 811 at a pre-set time, but the channel program is limited to channels 100 through 999. Hello!!! My E* locals are...

I have had a Dish 811 since 12/03, but I don't have a dish pointed at 61.5 and my locals are on 148. I'm trying to decide if I should even care that Dish is offering 10 VOOM HD channels to some subs. I've seen the names and logos of the 10 VOOM channels and frankly, I'm not moved. I've...

So what is currently the best STB, non-DBS, for OTA digital broadcast reception? I've been following this market for a year and a half and I don't think I seen any new offerings in the past year. Where is the next generation of ATSC tuners? Has this market died? I hope not given that...

Merging the 811 Forum with the Dish HDTV forum was a natural, but adding in the 921 Forum was a big mistake. The combined forum has just become a forum for 921 product complaints and DVR discussions. Put the 921 Forum in the PVR/DVR Forum where it belongs. The Dish HDTV Forum has so tilted...
