    Dish Vip-722, does it need service to record OTA?

    Does anyone here know if I cancel my Dish service, can I still use the VIP-722 as an OTA received and DVR?

    FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

    Thanks! The installers are here right now. The bad news is they have to move our dish. The line of site to one of the new sats (129?) is blocked by trees. The good news is that they are going up on our roof. We have kind of a walk out basement where they are moving the dish, and a high...

    FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

    I know that everyone's setup is different, but have you guys noticed one setting better than the others? I have a 720p DLP Projector, and I currently have my 811 set to output 1080i. Even though it is not the native resolution of my display, it seems to look sharper than 720p. My 622 will...

    New Dish offer?

    I have called and talked to 4 different CSRs, none of them would budge above the $10/month no matter how much I begged and pleaded. Did you say anything special?

    New Dish offer?

    I am a current Dish HD subscriber. I tried calling last week to get the $20 off for ten months when you get a Vip 622. No matter what I said, the CSR stuck to his guns, saying this was for new subscribers only. He did say that they will have a new promotion begin this week. I haven't seen...

    Judge Stops Countersuit against TiVo

    So, would now be a good time to twists Dish's arm into getting a cheap HD-DVR? I currently don't have any DVR at all, and would love a HD-DVR. I have heard of people getting the Vip622 for $200, but then receiving a $20 credit on their bill for 10 months. Do you think that if I call and...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    Followup. I've read differing things about the cost for the Voom channels. I currently subscribe to top 60 and HD pack. Will there be an additional monthly fee for the Voom HD channels?

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    Thanks for the great write-up Larry. I am new to this though, so forgive my ignorance :) I have a Dish500 and DP Twin getting 110 and 119. I was going to buy a Dish 300 with Dish pro lnb and point that at 61.5. Currently I have two cables coming out of the DP Twin. One going to a 301, and...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    Thanks for the response....too bad it was bad news! ;) Have there been any updates about Dish moving the channels to different birds? I don't mind spending the money for a dish/lnb as long as they don't move them next month....

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    Assistance Please I read through the first post and just want to verify some things. I currently am subscribed to Dish top60 along with the HD Pack. I therefore believe that I have the DPTwin getting 110 and 119. Currently I don't have any switches....I think that one of the cables goes to...

    811 program guide

    Yes, it seems like the first time that I turn my 811 on that day (usually late afternoon, early evening), it needs to download program info. It would be nice if it happened over night.

    Charlie on VOOM (From Retaile Charlie Chat)

    I just cancelled Voom and picked up Dish. I hope he adds Monsters, and Rush....the only good exclusives Voom had.

    VOOM Adds more HDTV (in January) Channels and new equipment

    Cool, nice to see the HD DVR is officially announced. The question left is what will the "upgrade" policy be.....

    Retailer for new customer plan

    No upgrade option for the 921 in the free dish, or DHP plans, but it is offered for the HD in a box package? Why is that?

    VOOM Links with lots of good DOCS!

    My installers used my existing OTA antenna, and coax. Granted they are working for Voom, but if they can save time most intallers will. I really hope that we see the DVR at CES, or february at the latest. It will be nice to know the options available before our money back garuntee is up.

    New HD channels on VOOM coming soon (Sort of)

    You probably would be ok, depending on your line of sight. I am 20 miles from the towers here, and I am getting a signal strength of 100 with the stealth antenna that Voom provides. I have a very good line of site. In the worse case Voom will upgrade to a better antenna at that distance I...

    FLASH: Dish 322 and 522 Release Dates Announced!

    I've been reading most of these threads but I'm still confused. Can someone tell me what I would have to do to get HD from Dish in Central WI? If the SuperDish doesn't work, will I have to get two dishes? My perfect plan was to get a 522 and a 811 on November 1st under the DHP plan that was...

    FLASH: Dish 322 and 522 Release Dates Announced!

    I want a 522 and a 811, and I want it before my 30-day trial of Voom runs out! Voom is nice, but it's not worth the $750 up front cost, when Dish is going to be giving their receivers away for $5 a month (hopefully).

    VOOM Installations

    I only watched it for an hour or two last night (Had to watch Finding Nemo too), but it looks good so far. The Worldsport was all Soccer, Rave was mostly Fashion, There were Ten different movies on the Movie channels (I'll have to see how often they change), Rush HD had some interesting...

    VOOM Installations

    I'm assuming Ken is watching SHO-HD. Was probably just a typo. The music channels just show stills with artist info, and facts. A few notes. The box hasn't lock up at all, but a few times a channel will be all black, no picture or sound. If I change the channel and go back, that...
