    Dishnetwork blasting its Contractors

    Sounds like DISH Network is stepping over dollars just to make pennies. Good luck staying in business.

    What do I loose if I keep my 921

    So you don't have any HD programming through DISH? Strictly OTA? If you want the HD Pack I'm sure they'll make you subscribe to one of the new HD packages that just came out vs the old since they're not available anymore, and if you use your 921 you will lose nothing since you didn't have any HD...

    Best Sat Finder for E*

    I use a sat buddy and aim with a non-DPP LNB tuning in each orbital slot coming in on particular dish. I've tried the brick with DPP, and even though it's a little better with DPP than the sat buddy it's still no where near what a regular twin or dual lnb will get you. I've been strongly...

    Dish Apartment Installation

    I would wait until the installer gets there to figure out the specifics. First thing is first. Do you have a line of sight from your exclusive area? (patio/balcony) If the answer is no, see what the apartment complex restrictions are for placement of the dish. If they will not allow the dish...

    Fastest Dish Call to install ever?

    It's sad EchoStar's own don't know their operating equipment. But it's not like every CSR has a 721 in their living room. There are so many in the company that don't even have DISH, and if they do we have to pay for it just like everyone else so there's really no incentive for an employee to...

    Behind the scenes of Superbowl XL

    Here's a couple of articles for those interested in the camera work being done for Sunday. Good read http://broadcastengineering.com/newsletters/sports/20060127/Super-bowl-sunday-20060127/ http://www.tvtechnology.com/features/news/2006.01.25-n_abc.shtml

    Please Help. DishTV Questions!

    The 322 won't work to pass the local HD from the off-air antenna through. It's an analog tuner only, and a pointless hook-up to an HDTV. It will look the same if not worse than your basic analog cable. You need a 211 or 622 HD receiver. They'll be able to pick up the locals on the digital tuner...

    Questions for Mark Cuban?

    Mark, Must HDNet display their name/logo on the screen during movies? The only network that doesn't is HBO. I'm sure your answer is name recognition/marketing, but we already know we are tuned to HDNet. I'm surprised this hasn't come up with the anti-downrezz people. I would think if people...

    Grounding an RV install

    So with all of their expensive gear (like ESPN) then they must not fear any damage from any sudden surge during broadcasting? ...unless they use some other method of surge protection I suppose. Right now I'm watching the Lakers/Cavaliers game on TNT. Is this to say that none of their...

    Grounding an RV install

    I installed a job today that was in a small RV park. There was some electrical service panels close by but ended up putting my ground block underneath the trailer since I had to come up through the floor. There was an existing ground wire connection to the frame so I attached my ground wire to...

    Anyone know who makes the DP+ twins?

    There are three different types of DP+ twins out. The two heavy ones and a light weight one. I know one of the heavy ones is Sharp just like the regular DP twins of old, the other looks the same as the channel master quads but don't know if channel master still makes stuff since Andrew bought...

    2 DISH 500's vs. 1 DISH 1000?

    The DISH1000s suck. Ya they work, but you'll get better signal quality pulling in on two dishes. The main loss is in 119 and 110. not so much 129, even though more signal can be gained off one dish pointed at 129. If that makes sense.

    * Note - Do Not Call For Mpeg4 UNTIL FEB 1ST*

    That's what i'm wondering. Under that upgrade plan where it says $299 then $200 rebate, then total $99* the asterick by 99 mentions that it includes prof. install and dish upgrade if applicable, which I am taking "If applicable" to mean you pay the $99 whether you need the dish upgrade and prof...

    1/9 Charlie Chat Recap

    There seems to me something amiss...... There's one thing I don't get. Under the upgrade plan for those of us that have 921/942s they have the upgrade price $299, the rebate $200, for a total of $99. Then there's the asterick *includes professional installation and dish antenna if applicable...

    Quote From Charlie on MPEG4 Upgrading For Existing Customers

    Anybody know if the DNS facilities are going to be getting 622's in their warehouses so we don't have to deal with the call center sending units ups and then going out there anyway to hook up? DNS doesn't get supplied with 942s. I'm hoping they'll get supplied 622s. I never understood this...

    1 thing is crystal clear......

    Don't call 1 800 333 DISH! instead call 1 888 XXX-XXXX and keep hitting # when the automated system comes up. Much better luck at this number :) -------- after discussion with other staff members, the number was removed. This ia retailer phone number and not meant for the general...

    ESPN II HD When??

    625 Diagnostics

    I was just about to ask the same question. I was having issues with a 942 and had gotten into the same thing. Nice to know it tells you how hot the receivers has got, average temp, but all the other stuff i would like to know also especially if you can tell in here if your receiver is on the fritz.

    Dish Network HD for exisiting subs

    If you bug the executive office enough at ceo@echostar.com sometime in life you'll get a phone call letting you lease the 942 for $250, 1-year commit $5 lease fee, etc... Otherwise it's the 811 for $100 to add on/upgrade. It's probably worth the extra $150 to bypass the headaches of having an...

    Networks HD format

    Is there a list available that says what format which networks are broadcasting in? I'm assuming that only ABC/ESPN & FOX broadcast in 720p while everyone else broadcasts in 1080i from the info i'm gathering.

    EXCLUSIVE: Dish Vip 622 & Vip 222 Specs

    I would give anything for the OTA tuner to be able to show up on TV2. What a sneaky way for dish to make you pay for locals (that's if you want them to show up in the guide for TV2).

    sporting event flicker

    What aspect is your sporting coverage coming in at. I just realized there is a setting in my dvd player for 4:3 or 16:9 and it was set for 4:3. Changed to 16:9 and flicker is gone. Also have an option to turn progressive scan on which didn't change anything nor did i notice anything. I now...
