    Need help to reduce my bill...

    I already have five or six EHD's that I use with my 622's so the price of those won't matter. Can I watch programming that was transferred with a 622 to the EHD on a 211k with EHD?

    Need help to reduce my bill...

    I am getting divorced and don't want to pay $100/month for two people to watch tv (plus I don't need two 622's for two people). Here is my present bill: America's Top 250 69.99 HD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver 17.00 DVR Service 6.00 HD 250 Free ($10/Mo) 0.00 .................... Total $...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I got it working! (the Toshiba 2 TB hard drive - PH3200U-1EXB). There was a tool on toshiba's web site "Toshiba_drive_converter" that got rid of the extra partition and (allegedly) removed the 'sleep' function. I know I could have picked up a 2TB drive cheaper on the next but it was only $109...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I thought that we can use 2 TB drives now? I have been doing a little research and it seems that it is quite easy to get rid of that virtual cd thing (actually I think that it just a partition of the hard drive). I already have the drive so I don't think that I will be returning it.. I think...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Well the case that I have may be able to hold two drives side by side but it would be a very tight squeeze. I guess I will measure and then decide if I should take it apart. I was looking at the bestbuy website (Toshiba - 2TB External USB 2.0 and eSATA Hard Drive - PH3200U-1EXB) and it...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I am pretty sure that it is not two hard drives but I guess I can pry it apart and look. If anything it would be two hard drives laying side by side.

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I just bought a Toshiba 2TB drive and my 622 says that it is not compatible? Would it help if I formatted it first in Windows or Ubuntu?

    Dish iPad Application is Available

    I downloaded it a few minutes before I went to work so I didn't get much time to play with it but I did use it to control my 622 which freaked out my ten year old daughter - "Mom, the tv is haunted." It looks very similar to the old dish.sling.com portal but there are some extra features such...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    I am not going to do it just yet but I was going to try to get the deal that they have offered the few people that have called. I want to get my RSN's in HD before hockey season because I now need to drop NHL center ice (I changed my service address back to my present location so I won't get...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    I want to change from Absolute HD to America's Top 250. Can anyone offer any advice as to how I might get this offer? I have tried online chat and calling but those customer service drones won't budge...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    This actually works for me because I was thinking of going to America's Top 250 anyway. I will drop NHL center ice and pick up two RSN's in the process. My bill is going to go up but at least I can get a few of the channels that the rest of my family has been whining about for a while... Of...

    Versus on Dish

    I never did a one for one comparison but all of the games that I wanted to watch that were also on VS. were blacked out to me on Center Ice.

    NHL Center Ice - HD Playoffs (rant)

    Come on Dish! There are only four games on tonight and only two are on Center Ice. Why do you have to show three different versions of Colorado vs. San Jose and NO HD broadcasts of the Philly vs. NJ game?

    NHL Center Ice - I now get my 'in region' games (?)

    Until the Olympics I couldn't watch any Phoenix Coyotes games on Center Ice (due to the fact that I 'live' in Salt Lake City) and after the Olympics and that last free preview I can now watch home and away Coyotes games. Did the NHL change their policy on in region games? Or did they change...

    These HD channels are useless!

    Not always! I can't 'unstretch' upconverted SD on one of my tv's.

    Olympics in HD

    If you don't get all of the NBC channels with your package you can't watch any of the events.... And NBC uses Silverlight so you can't even watch highlights if you use Linux... And I saw today that someone posted a goal from one of the men's hockey games on youtube and the Olympics (the...

    Olympics in HD

    I guess my point is that I could pay for the programming but that hockey isn't popular enough (even USA vs. Canada) to be shown on NBC. I am not complaining that I don't get MSNBC for the price that I pay (which is practically peanuts for all of the HD that I do get!). And we still manage to...

    Olympics in HD

    Well those of us with HD ABSOLUTE didn't get to watch SD or HD of the USA vs. Canada game! I can't believe that hockey is so much less popular than curling or most of the other Olympic sports but I guess I see proof of it everywhere and all of the time. It's a shame that many Americans had to...

    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    to answer question #2: I had a ten foot dish back in the glory days of satellite tv (lots of free pro and college sports and lots and lots of wild feeds) and would like to someday get back in.

    Can picture quality be effected by the cold

    In the old analog satellite tv days the LNB's were susceptible to temperature variations and the older/cheaper ones actually worked better when it was cold outside. For my cheap setup the picture actually looked much better (and it was not a placebo effect) with no 'sparklies.' In the...

    NHL Center Ice - HD Broadcasts from Canada on US sports networks

    Yes, Altitude games that originate in the US always look pretty good but those that originate in Canada look crappy every time. I was wondering if this was the same for other US based RSN's or if this is unique to Altitude?

    NHL Center Ice - HD Broadcasts from Canada on US sports networks

    I am watching the Avalanche at Ottawa on Altitude from NHL Center Ice and it looks like crap. In fact, all of the HD broadcasts originating from Canada this year have looked like crap on Altitude. Is it like this for the other US sports networks broadcasts on NHL CI? How about on Direct TV or...

    What's the answer? DishComm & Ethernet

    This mirrors my experence as well (just so you don't have to trust a CSR). I have two 622's and had the basement hooked up to ethernet and the upstairs on Dishcomm with the basement receiver. There was no 'no phone line' fee while I had this setup. There was also no ethernet 'sharing' (i.e...

    What is the point of blacking out replays?

    NHL Network replays suck anyway! Why in the hell do they show the scores from previous day's games at the bottom of the screen? I cut up a cardboard box yesterday so that I could strategically fill that part of the screen and watch the Toronto/Washington HNIC HD coverage wihtout learning...
