    Dish Distant Networks satellites

    So, if he signed up with AAD, can he switch to DISH for Distants or have both until the AAD term runs out???? I guess he has to drop the locals from the RV package then.

    Dish Distant Networks satellites

    You may be correct. I guess I will have him contact DISH directly to get the Distants then. Thanks for the info.

    Dish Distant Networks satellites

    Interesting, since AAD's website shows NY HD on the 72 deg satellite... SD on the 119 satellite.

    Dish Distant Networks satellites

    I find out from him if he has HD or not when it gets activated (he just sent his RV Registration). The $9.99/month includes his Local channels (from his home ZIP Code) and the NY Distants. The locals don't show up on his DISH Network online account and monthly fees. I guess he could call...

    Dish Distant Networks satellites

    I am confused about the Distant Network offering from DISH for RV accounts. A friend just retired and signed up for the RV Pay as you GO account and ordered Distant networks at the same time. He was transferred to MyDistantNetworks that offered New York and/or San Francisco. All the...

    Streaming between ViP receivers

    Yeah - well after having recently upgraded my last 50x series DVRs for 211s, I don't think I will be upgrading for a while.. And the last thing I need, with 2TB of programs archived on my 622 EHD, is upgrade to a new technology that doesn't support the archive drives... It's bad enough that...

    Streaming between ViP receivers

    Wow - that would be disappointing that receivers that already have Ethernet connectivity can't 'securely share' their storage between receivers. The only thing we can do currently is and I hate to use the term, sneakernet. And even then, it's only between the ViP211s - moving hard drives is...

    Streaming between ViP receivers

    Not sure if this has been asked or anyone has thought of this, but does anyone know if DISH plans to offer an software upgrade to the ViP receivers that would allow any ViP receiver in a household connected to the LAN to playback content from it's attached hard drive? We have a ViP622 and 2...

    Time Warner-Disney Dispute - Where is DISH??

    Recently, in our local market (Local ABC channel is Owned by ABC/Disney), there have been ads running from Disney/ABC warning viewers that come Sept. 2, they may lose their ABC and ESPN channels if an agreement isn't struck. (Basically, Time Warner is doing a Charlie hardball play)... The...

    RV use

    I may have misread the Thread on STELA act just passed but doesn't it allow DISH to offer DNS to RVs and Truckers again? I believe Scott said that DISH would be allowed to offer DNS starting in June.

    DISH offering Complementary HBO for Alzheimer's Project?

    I tuned to 102 and found the 'slide' - thanks for the info. DISH does appear to have it messed up though - the episodes are each 83 minutes long but they only show 1 hr window for the first one and 30 minutes for the second, etc.... Oh well. Still won't let me set a timer on the DVR for...

    DISH offering Complementary HBO for Alzheimer's Project?

    I received an email from a friend and in the email is said: "All films will stream free of charge on HBO: Documentaries: The Alzheimer's Project: Homepage and will be offered for free on multiple platforms by participating television service providers." The latter part of the sentence seems to...

    Our neighbor had the same thing - told them they were on the roof and if they wanted them back, they could come and get them.

    Help! My Screen is Split!!!

    I noticed the same thing (on the local ABC affiliate only). Haven't seen it since getting the new 622 last week so I am unsure if it's related to that event. Also connected via HDMI.

    DISH Rocks Again

    I use a Channel Master 3022 (Channel Master CM 3022 Magnadyne UHF Antenna (CM3022) | CM3022 [Channel Master] | CM 3022 CM-3022 CM 4038 CM-4038 3022 CM-3022) mounted in the attic and fed down the Satellite Feed via Diplexer to the HD Receiver. I got the antenna from a local TV station for free...

    DISH Rocks Again

    Got the new 622 on Friday and after offloading all the remaining programs to the EHD and recording/writing down all the timers, activated the replacement 622 today. Connected the OTA feed to the unit and it scanned 26 channels - 2 more than the 211K... The main ones are coming in with a...

    DISH Rocks Again

    Having had both the ViP211 (for about a week) and now the 211K, the OTA Tuners appear to be about the same with respect to Sensitivity... The 211 found a total of 20 Digital channels (including all subchannels) and the 211K found 24. The additional Station (and it's subchannels) is a weak one...

    DISH Rocks Again

    Yeah - I am on my 4th ViP622 over the years.. It's been hit and miss on the OTA as well as HDMI - hopefully I won't take a step backwards on the HDMI with the Refurb that will surely arrive. I'm sure DISH doesn't test the OTA when they refurb the units.

    DISH Rocks Again

    So, I went through the problems with my DISH 3900 to ViP211k upgrade last week and finally received the 211K yesterday and got around to activating it with the CSR today. While activating it, I was commenting how the regular ViP211 was able to receive over 24 Digital channels on the OTA tuner...

    Receiver Upgrade Problem

    After activating the Silver 211 (I had resigned myself to having it for good) and adding the DVR option to it, I was relieved with the outcome (and my loyalty to DISH). It was confirmed to me that I would have no problems moving the EHD from the Silver 211 to the 211K with whatever programs...

    Receiver Upgrade Problem

    Correction - it appears the Email worked out for me. ViP211K is on the way..... Now I know why I've been a DISH customer for 12 years - they do listen.
