They have been sold and re-sold as part of a fire sale since I signed up with Dish but I believe Direct is still accepting customers if you don't like Charlie :)

Are you seriously assuming that every message post is because of a problem with the company? If you are then you should look into cable because I don't think there are many post in that forum or perhaps FTA.

NBC's choice of broadcasting talent is hurting the NHL. Watch a game on the NHL network (usually a Canadian game) and you will see what a joke NBC's coverage really is.

I just activated Sirius in my Jeep last month. Any thoughts on how this would work since I still have 11 more months for free. I would really like to have NHL but I don't think I need it for $4/month

I have the Channel here also. It says "This programming is not available in your area". Does this mean it is coming?

<Rant>If I hadn't been able to fix it myself then I was going to cancel dish. I was not going to pay $50 for a visit and then pay to lease another receiver and commit as well. As far as the $5.99/month protection I refuse to pay that ongoing. I already paid an upfront lease fee, pay $7 to lease...

Same thing here. You didn't notice if it was right after the 5.11 upgrade did you? I was stuck on screen 015 (acquiring signal) forever. All my Check switches came out fine and system status reported good. Just could not get through the acquire signal screen. I had even plugged in an...

Thanks for the idea, I didn't think about checking those connections yet. I thought about the cable being the issue and that is why I swapped the cables around that went into the switch. Since the cable from the satellite works on my old 501 I kind of ruled that out. I think I will try and...

I get home yesterday and the TV has the "Acquiring Signal" screen up on my 622. I have had dish for over 10 years now and installed my own dishes and been through tons of different receivers and have only called tech support once before but after trying everything I can think of I end up calling...

According to the Programming Guide on Dish's Website channel 378 is supposed to be showing the Pens game in HD. Problem is that there is no Channel 378 anymore and 428-HD isn't showing anything.

I don't see this as a CI issue as much as a decision not to broadcast RSN's in HD when the Feed is available. It is also a really bad sign! Are they doing this with any other HD-RSN's? (I guess there is always a chance that the guide hasn't been updated for FSNPitt-HD for the game tonight. )

FSN-Pittsburgh did not carry the game in HD. I believe the Pens schedule said Sunday's was supposed to be in HD but it wasn't in HD on FSN-Pittsburgh on dish for those of us who get FSN-Pittsburgh. I live in an area were we get FSN-Pittsburgh and get the Pens games. We also get Sabres games on...

Well I wasn't in the initial roll-out but I now have 447 with dishonline.

Sounds from your description that you either have something in the way or an LNB issue. BUT, I had a similar issue on a 501 DVR a few years back that I might have described the same way. It ended up being the 501 going bad. I had another receiver laying around and hooked it up and had no...

I currently have a dish pointed at 61.5 and a dish 500? that gets 110 and 119. If I "move" to Pittsburgh from Erie, PA (125miles north of Pittsburgh) would I have the equipment needed to pick up the Pittsburgh HD channels?

I wish I knew dish was willfully violating "distants laws". The only way I could get a distant waiver was to apply every 6 months for over 2 years until finally the local affiliate didn't reject my waiver. I guess there was an easier way that I wasn't aware of!

Locals in my are only offered by Dish anyway. I guess I'll just have to substitute my distants with my locals.

FCC has decided that it is not in the best interest for me to watch HD. After all if Dish was allowed to provide me with HD or HD-lite of the networks then my local affiliates would be forced to broadcast in HD and that might cost them too much money. Currently my CBS affiliate won't even...

My thoughts: They discontinued the software platform (aka 721) and moved to the new software (aka 522?) before the 921 was even released! It appeared to me that dish was going to discontinue the 921 before it was even released, that's why I went with the 6000 and decided to wait for the new...

I agree that waiting for the 811 or 921 has been painful. I wanted HDTV and looked at my options Option 1: Stay With Dish: Receiver with 8vsb = $149 with no commitment Option 2: Voom = $700+? Option 3: D* = ? $149 with no commitment and off air ability? I don't think so! Option 4...

After reading about delays in the SuperDish and 921 I decided to take advantage of the 6000 deal. For what it's worth the CSR I talked to told me the 921 would be available in the first part of 2004.

Could't have said it any better!

Here in NW Pennsylvania an installer is going to earn his money trying to install a Chimney mounted Superdish "around the holidays", either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

With the new 322 and 522 software and the 721 being phased out, is the 721/921 software being phased out before the 921 even gets released?

My 501 makes a terrible noise coming from the Hard Drive. If I turn it off, the hard drive still spins for about 3 minutes or so until it is completely shut down. After the upgraded software I left it on all night and the next morning there was no hard drive sound but the green power light was...
