I currently have a 1000.4 Eastern Arc Dish with a DPP44 Switch. If I get a Hopper, will have to replace my DPP44 or can I use it as is? I currently have a 722k & 622 each getting served via a single coax from the DPP44. Can I just swap out one of them with the hopper, or will this require...

New User Interface - sweet Sling Built In - Awsome Web Access - Nice Trigger remote - neat Support for Custom Apps! - $#@! Stop the Presses! With so many new things that the 922 brings to the table, this one feature either has been missed by most reports/reviews, or is just underestimated...

A few years ago, the local New radio station would sometimes announce when you would be able to see the Space Shuttle or Mir Space Station as it passed over, usually at dusk. I haven't heard them do this for a while, but now that the International Space Station (ISS) is up in orbit, the...

I started working for a BPL technology company back in December, and so all year long I have been working HomePlug devices. I found them remarkably useful and quite up to the task of high speed internetworking within a household. When the 622 Ethernet plans were being discussed, I had...

I have a friend who runs a small business from his home. He asked about setting up automatic backups for his WinXP PC. He had an old Travatan tape drive which seemed to live on from PC to PC, but its tapes could only hold a Gig or two. Well, I used a "MyBook" external Hard Disk for my...

Well, I finally received the call that I had been waiting for the past 4 years. Hello Mr. Cyclone sir, this is Verizon, we would like to offer FiOS TV to you. [Use your best Apu voice] Being the tech geek that I am, I have looked forward to FiOS Tv ever since I heard it was going to...

I noticed today that my EPG for Digital OTA channels on my 622 is finally listing program data for my sub-channels. So my NBC affiliates 4.2 now says "NBC Weather Plus" in the EPG. The CBS and ABC affiliates now say "Weather Radar". More importantly, my PBS now has EPG for all 4 of its bit...

I prune down the list of forums to only those that I visit. Well the "backroom" reappeared recently on lists. So I went to re-remove it, and its not on the list for me to select. My other removed forums are still selected.

Now that Baltimore LIL SD channels have relocated to 110, We DC OTA customers (some of which are Grade A contour to Balt) can now get EPG info. My 921 finally shows data for their channels. I know that EPG info has always been on 110 for DVRs, but hey, this is the behavior as observed.

I had resigned myself to the fact, that my old Panny Plasma without DVI or HDMI would eventually come up against a new HDTV STB without a analog connection. It does have component inputs, but I'd end up with a switching issue with the DVD player. Well to my surprise I was reading up on the...

I'm looking to upgrade from my Dish 6000 & 510 to a 921 & 510. I right now have a Legacy Dish500 Twin LNB with a Dish300 for 61.5. They connect up with a pair of SW-21s and run to the two receivers. I'm going to get the 921 and with the DPP LNB held up, I'm going to go the DPP44 route. I...

I called the Tech Forum and asked when the DPP LNB would be available. The transferred me to the appropriate contact. She said that it is currently available, but must be purchased via retailer. Later in the chat, it was indicated that the DPP LNB was begining to ship. So my questions...

We now have the OTA Guide on the 811. It will of course find its way to the 921. But will the 6000 get it as well? I know the 6000 is discontinued, but OTA guide was shown in its manual. Will they finally implement it?

Everyone once in a while, I have to search around for old "reviews", "First Looks" and other exclusives that have lost their "sticky thread" status. Would it be possible to have them all linked in a reviews sections or link on the site? I find them very useful.

I can't say enough about the Shattner School of Drama. http://www.khaaan.com

I just received the DVD player that I won on Charlie Chat thanks to sponsorship from Dishstore.net. thanks again, Cyclone

I called the Club Dish line since I know two or three people who might become Dish customers because of the HDTV. Dish told me that a new customer can get a Free 811 & 301 with Club Dish, or a 811 and 2x 301s for $99. I think that the $99 is waived via a 2yr commitment. This also...

I'm wondering what the software for the 811 will look like. I guess I can make a poll out of this. I haven't seen any sneaked screenshots yet. With the inclusion of Picture in Guide, better OTA guide support, and OpenTV I'm hoping that it will look much better. My best guess is that...
