    CE's for the Weekend of 9.12

    9.12 CE software fixed my HR34 lag issue as far as I can tell. Receiver is a lot more responsive to remote commands. Cycling through the guide is a lot faster. Everything seems faster, although with how terrible the receiver has been for the last few months it's hard to remember what the...

    CE's for the Weekend of 9.12

    Never downloaded CE software before, but the unbearable lag of the HR34 has me on board.

    Okay, found an old IR #1 and seems to work fine now. Thanks for the help.

    Sling Remote Access freezes TV1 function

    Just received my Sling Adapter and hooked it up. I'm able to watch on both my computer and phone, but whenever remote access is in use, the TV1 tuner on my TV simultaneously freezes. Remote doesn't respond, can't change channel or pull up guide...no response from the remote at all. As soon as...

    Rumor Alert - Internationals Leaving DIRECTV?

    As someone considering switching from E* to D* solely because of an international package, I hope you share whatever information you're hearing.

    International News - Korean Tiger Pack

    Great, they throw 6 pennies and a quarter in a package and try to sell it for a dollar. This package blows goats. KBS is the only worthwhile channel and its already included in PI if you have 118. I was actually hoping (or rather my wife was) that Dish would do something worthwhile and throw...

    Comcast SportsNet Northwest

    Wouldn't count on it. Comcast is using the exclusivity as a marketing ploy to get people to switch to Comcast...and the Blazers are in bed with them and refuse to put any pressure on to reach deals with satellite providers. Once they saw the team improving and getting more popular, they sold...

    I hate Dish, how the heck can I cancel?

    Funny you mention that. I taught my 92-year old grandma how to record shows on a 612 in about 10 minutes over the phone, and she can barely see or hear the tv. If she can set up an all episodes Matlock timer on her own, you really have no excuses.

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    I just sent Betty S at Dish Network a dozen roses.

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    I'll take a 922 as well. Please pm me with the details, but it may take a few days for me to get back to you. I'm currently wrapping up another unbelievable deal in which I'm receiving $5 million dollars from a Nigerian prince. All I had to do was wire his personal assistant $16,000 in...

    NBA Season Pass

    Thanks for posting this information. The number of HD games on Direct is staggering. I've had League Pass on Dish and last year we were lucky to get 1 game a night in HD. If the Dish schedule comes out and resembles last year, this just may put me over the edge and switch to Direct.

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night, but don't expect anyone to buy the fairy tale you're selling. All the polls and all the money are pointing to an Obama blowout, as well as large gains in both the House and Senate for Democrats. You may as well start resigning...

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Dear Sweet Jesus Mother and Mary, I need Fox News HD on election night! If I can't see the priceless reactions of doom and gloom from the "fair and balanced" blowhards in great detail when the Republicans are wiped out in a bloodbath across the board, my night will not be complete. I need...

    The Uplink Report

    Clearly, the RNC doesn't realize that rows and rows of empty seats look PHENOMENAL in HD.

    Comcast SportsNet Northwest on E*?

    Thirty-four days before the Blazers' season opener at San Antonio, Comcast Corp. is negotiating with other cable and satellite providers, including DirecTV and Dish Network, to carry its new Northwest sports network. Insiders are hopeful the situation will work itself out before the season, but...

    722's on Back-order!

    Currently I've got 2 622s. One I got when they first came out, and one I got when I upgraded the 921 a couple months ago. So I'm upgrading one of the 622s to a 722.

    722's on Back-order!

    I've had nothing but good experiences with Dish over the last few years, so I'm not interested in doing creative writing here to bash them. It's happened how I wrote it, regardless of the experience that you or anyone else had (assuming your "little story" is "real") with the Executive Office...

    722's on Back-order!

    Previously on Worst Customer Service Ever.... Ordered my 722 through Dish'n It Up on Aug 15. Was told it was shipped that day and would arrive in 5-7 business days. Aug 22, I call and ask for a tracking number: "We don't have a tracking number, but I assure you it's been shipped." Aug...

    Need to find the best place to buy a wireless phone jack system for my new 622

    I guess I got lucky as well. Installer for a 2nd 622 didn't hook up a phone line, so I called E* and asked them to send me a wireless jack. They told me it would be $39, I asked them to waive the charge and they did.

    TAN TV and DVR

    Thanks for the replies. I sent an email to TAN directly asking the same questions, and they told me that they don't offer any DVR receivers, but that as long as I purchased a DVR receiver with Viaccess capability, that I could use it to get their channels. So now I need to find a...

    TAN TV and DVR

    I'm thinking about ordering a TAN TV setup, and I was hoping anyone here with experience with them could answer a few questions: Do they have any receivers with DVR? If not, does TIVO work with their receivers? If TIVO doesn't work, what kind of options would I have for getting DVR...

    NBA game on TNTHD is horrific right now

    Truly awful tonight, and I noticed the SD version was relatively poor as well. A shame, because TNT games usually look phenomenal. If this is the new norm, there's going to be hell to pay.
