Thanks for the thoughts. I had not heard of the flex account, but it seems like I am still not getting what I hoped for with a kind of "turn on/turn off" type of service. I had thought about the moving of a receiver out there for a weekend, but I don't have the new dish (the new place has a...

I am confused. First, I have an existing account with Dish, and want Dish at a weekend home. So, I talked with a CSR who said I could have a new account for my new weekend place (ranch) and use Pause Account. In other words, I didn't want to pay for a full "load" if I wasn't there all the time...

Sure seems odd to change a item people specifically sign up for without asking for input... (And now those same persons apparently choose to rapidly drop!) Weird, doesn't seem logical nor good business...

:upThanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up on MoviePlex, Stonescat and mdavej!

377 and 388? Confusing. I am confused- admittedly nothing new for me. It seemed last night, at least, MoviePlex 377 was simply the Western channel in offerings an hour late. I admit I didn't actually tune to channel 377 (since I had just watched Gunsmoke on the Western channel), maybe this...

Scott: So, this is not the tested channel 377 noted as MPLEX (but unavailable) in the changes section? Scott you are right, never heard of Pixl HD. Do you know what channel slot it will occupy? Thanks!

3D is interesting, kinda fun, but like others have said: it seems we need HD for all channels before 3D. That is the immediate future. And if you already have prescription glasses, talk about nerd look (yes I know you can get prescription 3D glasses, but again, why???) If you really want 3D, I...

And quite a beautiful picture!

No, please take the time to reread his post, where he clearly stated that the equipment was not his. Call me old school, but I personally don't believe that an error on the part of Dish (or anyone, for that matter) in essence justifies an expectation that it is OK to rip off the company. Just...

Its amazing to see how many people seem to have the attitude literally stealing from a company seems to be ok if they can rationalize it away. Recall Dish owns the equipment. By what right does anyone have to sell something that they don't own? What's the difference between that and someone...

:up:up:up:up (gotta love Avatar!) And yes, while it isn't BluRay nor 3D, it is still an outstanding visual and thought provoking experience (IMHO)..

I be durn. That explains it! Thanks!

As to Tv1 or TV2 and is she watching it on TV2--which means it would be in SD in any event--- Understood, but she is watching on the main tv which is set as tv1 (I assume!). I guess I could have screwed it up but I thought tv2 was only in other rooms. Thanks for helping!

Well, it is Days of our Lives" on NBC - I just assumed it would be HD - I realize Soapnet is SD, but this is from the network.

First, thanks for the reply. Second, it kind of blows my mind you watch the RECORDING you are making to"watch" the same channel in HD at the "same time or live", but if that's what you do, so be it. That has to be what the problem was, I had assumed (and you know what that means) if it was being...

Ok, dummy of the year question :confused:: I have a 722K, wife wants to record soap opera at 1:00 either in SD or HD, doesn't care which. So, I set up the dvrecorder first in HD, expecting her to be able to watch in HD. Instead, yes, she sees the picture ok, but it is apparently in the SD...

Same here, looking forward to KUHT going HD ASAP!

Well, those channels are up, but still show the old "names" of the channels whose place they took. Cool!

Unfortunately, this is apparently an aggressive salesperson who will say most anything to make a sale. Let the buyer beware! ;)

Funny how outsiders want to ruin an otherwise well working business model. And even more amazing to me, the present "disputing" company is the averred "champion" of the free market? :confused: Perhaps I am a tad slow, but it sure seems like they like a "free market" if "they" can control it....

Yep, that did it (went home at lunch and did just that). .. thanks for the help- works great again. :up

For some reason, my 722k receiver is not showing the phone numbers (actually, not even showing that a call is being received) like it has since day 1. I checked the setup to make sure it was still "turned on" so to speak, and yes it was. And it looked like the phone line was still connected at...

Staying with dish due to, in my case, better technology for the household delivery system to the household televisions (non hd), prefer the movie selection on Dish and HD available (esp Epix), better/lower cost (which savings will pay for my new HD tv over two years), LOVE the Dish Space...

Gotta agree with MikeD. I understand why many folks don't want the government involved, but at times there is a valid reason why things like arbitration take place. Unfortunately, the FCC, to my understanding, does not have the power or authority to require arbitration. But that said, it...
