    Very easy to read. Thanks Digi. By the way , has anyone gotten any updates on TWC2 that was on with the coming soon slate and then went unavailable the other day? Thanks.

    How do you cancel a dishonline download?

    I came across this issue a couple of days ago. I started to download Caprica. After it started, it showed over 10 hours to download a 50 minute show. Tried to cancel and got the same you did. So I unplugged my home plug from internet. All that happened was it stopped the download then resumed...

    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    In my case, I got 1 letter saying it would expire Dec. 17th. Yet my Dec bill had the .01c charge. My on line that showed it grayed out had changed to 12.99 with a check mark. I tried to downgrade it online and it said to call in. I tried the automated phone system and of coarse it said I would...

    What Ever Happened to ESPNU HD???

    No doubt about it! I just renewed for my 2nd year in the Pub and its probably saved me at least $250.00 to $300.00 over the last 3 years because of this site. These guys do a super job and most of us can probably cut out a few latte's or a few of our other vices. Seriously, if you can afford it...

    Arizona Satellite Tax

    I'm in Mohave county, and on most of my bills it is $1.01. The lowest since last November is .55 cents, but most are $1.01 on roughly $100.00 to 110.00 in charges.

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    My experience yesterday was as yours. A little different amounts. As I already had the classic 250 with gold hd and plat hd. Checked my online account after it was not available to view yesterday and had 2 credits of 8.06 and 1 charge of 8.06. So all is good and I will save 10.00 a month.

    Running 2 TV's on TV2

    I am running TV2 to all sets, about 6, on channel 57. Also am running TV1 to all locations on channel 60. Even put tv2 on the main set, a 50" plasma, on an a/v input. With a 722 your only limited by what cables you have running in the house. Lots of flexibility.

    Sci Fi Goes for Cool as Syfy New Name

    Losing their identity seems to be a trend with these theme channels. I hadn't watched TV Land for awhile, came back to watch a few episodes of Green Acres, and was treated to obnoxious logos and promos all over the screen hawking a "reality show" in prime time. Very annoying.

    3 Free Months HBO/ Starz

    I agree, thats how I did it. Only thing is, that I and others were not able to access the programming page on our accounts. Just recently mine started to work. For others, try your account program selection options first and if it won't work then CSR roulette. It was worth the effort to save...

    3 Free Months HBO/ Starz

    I have the Classic 250 Gold & Platinum HD with Cinemax for a penny and HBO and Starz movie pacs. When I saw the 3 month free promo thought I would see how it worked for us existings customers that already subscribe. Went into my account, and then offers and there was the 3 month offer. I clicked...

    L617 Software Bug Thread

    Not sure if this is a 617 problem but it is strange. I have Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux stored on the 722 drive. Out of the blue the titles have switched with the movies. I wound up renaming them so you would get the one you were asking for. Not a big deal, just strange.

    Ethernet/Phone Input? New Dish Customer

    I have Magic Jack on the 30 day free trial and my 722 is hooked to it. I tried a dial in to my account and it worked ok. If you are just looking to do regular pay per view MJ works pretty much like a phone line. It keeps the "no phone line" message from coming up on the 722 as long as it sees...

    Im just relieved to find out Fox News HD doesn't have any bias like CNN.

    Is Cinemax .01 deal renewable?

    Same here. Just looked up my statement and a 1 cent charge was added.

    December 18th Dish Retailer Chat Recap

    Ala-cart was why I and many other C band Dish owners stayed with the big ugly dishes for as long as we did. That being said, I don't think you will see it as it isn't much available on c band any more. Also their packages increased substantially in the past few years. I left for E* more to get...

    I probably missed this somewhere, but why the mirror channels on 6201,2,3,4,& 6 with channel ID labeled TNT, HDNET, HDNETM, ESPN, HDTHR but no program descriptions?

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I will echo Jim's statement on panel resolution and HDMI acceptance of 1080P. I also have a Pioneer with 768P panel res. Watched "I am Legend" last month in 1080P and the Pioneer displays whatever the input is seeing. That could make you think you are watching 1080P. It looked great on the 50"...

    A Great Big Thank You to Dish Network

    I agree and enjoyed the feed as well. I shot off an e-mail to Dish thanking them for this. It was a great alternative to all the slanted media now a days. AND good HD!

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I have had " I am Legend ' available for about a week now and finally gave it a try Sunday. My 722 and Pioneer 5070 linked up with no problems at all. When movie started, my set displayed 1080P signal which I expected. The pic was excellent even though the 5070 is native 768P, but then all my HD...

    New Smart Cards

    Well guess what. After my reply to Jeff yesterday, Dish made a liar out of me. Tonight I checked Dish on Demand in the DVR menu and there are several movies back and no "smart card warning" that we had before. So I guess that was a temporary issue after 6.10 was sent. I also had nothing in the...

    New Smart Cards

    This is part of the software upgrade to 6.10 and Turbo. Same thing has happened to all the rest of us as far as I know. You will now use channels 501 for VOD movies, not the Dish on Demand as was before. Legend will show up on channel 501. When you get it, you will see it there. Nick.

    vip722 and pioneer kuro

    I don't have the Kuro, but have a 5070 and rule of thumb has always been to set the output devise to the closest resolution of your panel but not higher. Example, panel res is 768P set the 722 to 720P and let the panel up convert to native as opposed to setting 722 to 1080i and panel has to...

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I can say that my setup, 722 and Pioneer 50" plasma I have not seen what you are experiencing. Both your examples looked great on my setup. Blue Ray its not, but In my case very good pictures. I wonder if you have something else not right at your location.
