    does a VCR work on Tuner 2?

    I have been trying to install a VCR to the 2nd TV on one of those 625 dual turners and it doesn't work. I have a VCR hooked up to Tuner 1 and it works fine but I just can't get it to work on 2. I'd appreciate some help on this.

    No more Fox news for Dish Latino Max customers

    You are right. Apparently they left the free preview longer than they intended. I assumed they had added the channel to the Latino max package since they added it to the top 100. Looks like I'll be getting the news exclusively from the net. I don't watch CNN etc.

    No more Fox news for Dish Latino Max customers

    The channel was removed this evening. I have had it for like 2 months now. Wasn't Fox made available for the 100 package?? This sucks.

    Less affluent subscribers cause of DISH woes? Say it ain't so Chuckles!!!

    The less affluent customer comment is BS. IF Dish were the leader in HD they wouldn't be saying this crap. HD is the reason D* is kicking E* butt right now. There are more poor people that have basic cable ( no digital box) than Satellite TV. How many of the 13.8 million Dish subcribers do...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    As of today : 119 TP 11: 57 110 TP 11: 47 The meter shows anything below 11 as no signal. Earlier today I lost signal for the Documentary Channel for a couple minutes. When the signal returned I checked it and it was at 11. ( now the signal is at 25) Winds have been really bad here(...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    Yes I do but it doesn't tell you by how much it has been changed. That flashing message has been there for months and I have never had such low signal strength reading. Do they change the signal strength frequently??

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    57 on transponder 11 sat 119 50 on transponder 11 sat 110 Maybe the modified signal meter was reduced by 40. Maybe the 57 means 97 etc. I have never lost signal and the dish doesn't look like it has moved. ( bolts are really tight) I am just curious why my readings seem low. When...

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    There has been some strong winds the last few days in my area. I checked the bolts on the dish and every one of them is really tight. It doesn't look like my dish has moved.

    What is a good signal meter reading for the 625 receiver??

    The signal strength on channels 100 and above are in the 50's and 60's while my local channels are in the high 90's and 100's. Why the discrepancy between local and satellite channels??

    Charlie Talks About New HD in 2008

    What good is it to have channels that have the HD logo on the corner of the screen but no HD programming? A lot of those so called HD channels are nothing but stretch-o-vision. Just remember, patience is a virtue.

    Charlie Talks About New HD in 2008

    When it is all said and done both of these providers are going to have the same amount of HD channels. By the time everybody out there has an HD television both providers will offer the same programming. The decision on which one you choose will come down to hardware.(E*'s hardware kicks ass)

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    I agree that Dish Network was very wrong in lying to its customers by telling them that the "free preview" had expired but at the same time you would have to be really naive to not know the real reason on why they removed the channel. I knew something like this would happen as soon as the NFL...

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    Like I said a week ago, the NFL really screwed up by allowing the simulcast between NBC and CBS. As much as I hate to see the NFL Network leave my package I hope Dish network wins this case. The NFL has a contract with Dish and Direct TV, the least they can do is honor it by not giving games...

    Dish announces price increase

    Enjoy the $30 alone HD package while you can because it is not going to last. Now that a winner has been declared ( Blu Ray) more people are going to be entering the world of HD. HDtv prices are going down and the Sony playstation is now a bargain. I give it no more than 5 yrs before the HD...

    Dish announces price increase

    How long before a 100 channel package is $100.00/month?? I remember when cable was $15.00/month (including Tax, boxes etc) in the 1980's. I hope TV service doesn't become a thing for only the rich.

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    Congress is part to blame for this crap. They are the one's that pressured the NFL Network into allowing the broadcast of Giants vs. Pats on NBC and CBS. I'm sure that upset Dish very much and made them wonder if it was worth paying for this channel. NFL Network is very stupid in giving away the...

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    This is all the proof you need that it wasn't a "free preview". Reaction from NFL Network: We are aware of Dish’s unfortunate decision, which is not in the best interest of its many subscribers who are football fans, especially this week with NFL Network’s exclusive coverage of the...

    NFL Network Leaving AT100 Package

    Of course this was not a " free preview". Dish Network is just saying that to fool the suckers. The real reason they took the NFL network out of their basic package is out of retaliation against the channel for allowing both CBS and NBC to carry the Patriots vs. Giants game at the end of the...
