    HD picture quality on Directv

    I just switched from E* to D*. From my perspective, the HD picture on E* was better than it is on D*. E's picture just seems to have more detail on my setup via component. As for SD channels, I'm still trying to form an opinion. I think they are pretty close. I think D has better color...

    If you recorded "Deadwood" on Sunday night, please check your recording...

    Mine cutoff at about 47 minutes. I thought it might have been because of thunderstorms. There was no evidence of a pixelated picture before cutting out.

    Legacy Quad And 921

    I'm running mine with a legacy quad. Your dealer is incorrect. The only other reason I can think of is if you plan to run more than two other receivers in addition to the 921. He might want to switch over to a Dishpro lndb to use Dishpro switches.

    Tried to Cancel today but could not- lines all full

    I'm not really sure what you mean. Echostar offered programming a la carte for the longest time. They even had a package where you could pick from certain channels but programming bundling from the provider eventually forced them to do away with it.

    Tried to Cancel today but could not- lines all full

    I fail to see how one can characterize this as unethical behavior. Dish sold you a subscription to the AT(whatever). It was always marketed as "prices and programming subject to change." The fact that Dish and Viacomm are in a programming/price dispute has no bearing on Dish's customer...

    DISH HD Pic Getting Soft?

    Dish currenlty passes all signals through uncompressed. There are many reasons a presentation may look soft. ESPN's stuff always looks softer than HDNet. Espn's signal is sent out at 720p and depending on your setup may be converted to 1080i. Sometimes the source material or transfer is not...

    New Software upgrade for 811

    I took the download last night. EPG and Pic in guide are very nice. I've got one OTA digital that it is determined to not lock on. This same channel comes in fine on my 921 with a stable 95 signal. I've still got two OTA digital channels that lose their remapping. One thing I did notice...

    Dish 811 HUM???

    I had a similiar problem with my 811. Tried just about everything I could think of without sucess. When I tried it on the bedroom TV it worked just fine. I moved it back to the Home Theater and changed satellite feeds to the cable feeding my 5000 and it went away.

    Wacky and Crazy 811 Antics.

    Here are some other quirks! Go into the guide while in ALL SUB or other favorite mode. Press a channel number to skip to that channel. The Guide jumps to ALL CHANNELS. Go into the guide with picture in guide. Wait a long time for the picture window to come on. Advance in time (only a...

    Summary of 811 problems?

    Add to #10 The upconversion of the back panel video leaves much to be desired. I see the same problem as with analog OTA.

    Dish Answers your 811 Questions

    Any comments on the SD upconversion? I'd love to know if the 811 does a better job upconverting the SD signals to HD than the 6000. Any comments on the SD upconversion from the rear composite would also be greatly appreciated.

    Exclusive: Scott Reviews the Dish Player 921!

    PIP Question Scott: When PIP is implemented, how will it work? It is my understanding that it is SD only but what does that mean? Will it only work on SD channels and on SD outputs? Or, hopefully, it will work on the SD channels when they are being output via component or DVI. Any comments?
