    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Dish is sending this at a bitrate here of around 6,400kb/s. It does look nice!

    Didn't the late great VOOM have a channel just like this?

    ViP211z No Output

    I fixed my VIP211 [R5000 modded] as well, what a relief, working perfectly now. Dunno for sure about a cap problem in the 'K'.

    Dying VIP211k

    If all else fails, your problem may be the dastardly notorious VIP211 component: Capacitor C1382

    ViP211z No Output

    Capacitor c1382 [and possibly a few others] is a common failure source in VIP211 that are randomly crashing.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    The other thing that really sucks is that those lost channels were the cleanest presentation on dish's entire line-up, with absolutely no channel bugs, banners or other advertising crap.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    I just read that 'Charles' made $2.4million in 2017 and $3.11million in 2018. After removing my eleven channels.....Sweet. )*(

    What channels do you want in HD?

    I'd like Showtime Beyond (SBYND) in HD. The newest Dish .pdf channel guide does indicate it's available in HD on ch. 323, but it's only in SD on my VIP receivers here in the NYC area. Anyone know why? Everything else comes through okay..

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Can anyone tell me if the new movie channels (indie, etc) have the channel logo/bug on screen full time?

    Somewhat off topic... He lived down the street from me when I was a kid. His son was a great childhood friend. RIP. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/arts/television/15goldsmith.html?_r=1&ref=obituaries

    Reply from DN concerning VOOM

    Even MGM-HD is extremely disappointing, with the 24/7 bug onscreen. Some might argue that J6P likes that, just to remind him/her which channel they're tuned to. :(

    How many of them were actually sensitive, discriminating and appreciative? :rolleyes:

    New HD at the expense of Voom?

    No, it's not!!! ABC-FM is showing "The 700 Club" in glorious, heavenly, divine HD right now! [Tuesday, 10am] ;) :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Voom Rocks!

    Finally getting to see hi-def versions of rare, classic B/W films like "Wages of Fear", "Night of the Hunter" and "Man in the White Suit", are totally unexpected and just mind blowing to us. Love it! :hungry:

    I have my ViP622 HDD mounted externally

    Those temps are MUCH better. I may try this soon. I'd like to shove my whole damn box into a refridgerator. Hmmm... :)

    I have my ViP622 HDD mounted externally

    Could somebody please write an equation expressing the probability that Dish will allow unencumbered external storage in the next decade or two? :( and that'll keep the parens and brackets on topic. :D

    I have my ViP622 HDD mounted externally

    Thanks for the info Supercharged. The other day I held my hand near the left side of my Vip622 and I had to be rushed to the hospital with third degree burns! J/K, but I did add some more fans to it, including a little Panasonic 3" x 1" pancake blower,aiming underneath the 622, what a...

    I have my ViP622 HDD mounted externally

    I've been wondering, what's the difference between the square parens [ ] and the curved ones ( ) ? I like the square ones, you don't have to hit shift.

    Voom Channels in USVI

    I just returned from St. Croix. I saw no 61.5 oriented dishes anywhere. :( It would be a nice setup there with probably zero chance of rain fade. And anything to replace their cable tv service, which is absolutely horrendous as you probably know.

    GPS navigation ?

    I came real close to buying one a month ago, then I found out it was already built-in to my new Razr cellphone. Not a nice, big screen, but still unbelievable to me...
