    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    Wow, didn't mean to start a big debate. :) Just my 2 cents. Over the weekend on Saturday morning around 12:30 am CDT I pulled the 0x1075 update to my HR44-700 receiver and neither the logos or on demand worked. So last night, Monday morning, I actually woke up around 3 am CDT to let my dog...

    Washington at Oregon (JIP) Huh?

    On FSN HD it lists "Washington at Oregon (JIP)". What does "JIP" stand for? Just curious.

    HD vs SD audio = the same

    I guess I am just watching mostly HD channels and rarely switch to SD channels. Good call on Dish to fix this audio issue.

    HD vs SD audio = the same

    Is it just me or did Dish tweak the settings between SD and HD audio? It used to be when you would watch an HD channel you would have to turn up your receiver, when listening with Dolby Digital , and then when you changed to an SD channel it would blast you out of your seat. Well now it...

    Dish converting to digital locals feeds

    BY Dish replacing the Local SD channels with their digital counterpart, will this increase the bandwidth limitations? Like, will this allow for more possible HD channels since teh analog ones are being replaced by digital?

    Anyone here of the Water Channel?

    Looks like Dish had it at one time. JANUARY 06, 2006 "The Water Channel is currently available in more than 11 million homes via DISH Network on channel 216. Cannella specializes in television direct response media placement on national cable networks and broadcast stations." Here is the link...

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 5/13/2008 11:08pm - Last 5 VOOMs removed

    I agree with you as well. I did love the VOOM channels when I first got Dish HD 2 years ago, but after a couple of months I never watched 90% of their channels. Really RAVE was the only channel I watched, so I am sad to see that go, but with MHD's so-so lineup and watching PBS's soundstand or...

    Dish Network Earnings Call

    I am sure there is some truth to this being a bluff. I think Charlie had given VOOM all the chances in the world to get new content and VOOM might have thought it was just talk, but now since he elimiated 10 VOOM channels and now his tyraid that they "all could be removed" soon, tells me that...

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 4/16/2008 11:59am - 9 changes - CNN HD ADDED

    I would guess CNN HD, since another post on this forum said that CNN HD was coming to 9483. I also noticed how the Sats and TP were the same. 9436(200) - CNN [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar3 61.5W TP 25 ConUS beam (Available) 9436(200) - CNN [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar5 129W TP 11 ConUS beam...

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 4/16/2008 11:59am - 9 changes - CNN HD ADDED

    I just thought of something. I am just speculating here, but if Dish dislikes this site, maybe it is because the Owners of SCIFI and USA can view these forums and use all of this bitching as a negotiating ploy against Dish. Let me explain. The Owners of SCIFI and USA Network could view this...

    211 Hdmi

    I am thinking about waiting until the next firmware update for the Vip211, but I am also afraid it could be months away.

    Take this for what it is worth - New HD

    I am sure this channel is easy for Dish to add, because they probably already negotiated it when they added ESPN2 HD way back in the day. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I remember reading how ESPN usually negotiates a carriage agreement with Cable and Satellite companies to carry all...

    211 Hdmi

    I am also having an HDMI problem with my Vip211. I just got a brand new Samsung LCD TV and can use component fine, but would like to use HDMI, but it won't display. When I use component and do the HDMI test it shows that "RxKsv key is invalid" and HDCP is at NO. I have a feeling something...

    Royals-Tigers 4-2 already blacked out???

    I am in KC and 44 HDalt is showing the games for Monday 3/31 and Wednesday 4/2. I have set to record Mondays game, and it will allow me to record Wednesday's game. So i don' t think it is blacked out here since when I click on the Cubs vs Brewers game it says I am out of the viewing area. If...

    I would say along with wireless, why not IPTV? Do I hear unlimited bandwidth? Unlimited HD channels?
