    ESPN Picture Quality Worse Recently?

    ESPN vs My local Network stations (on Dish) for Saturday Football When watching college football on Saturdays I sometimes switch between ESPN channels and a network to see what is transpiring. ESPN's picture is subpar every time in direct comparisons to network games on Dish, on my HDTV...

    When will we get true local weather on 8s

    Movies on The Weather Channel will send me to the computer for weather updates. Does NBC have a death wish for all it's assets? And then there's the NBC/Comcast thing.

    Improved picture quality?

    You are confirming what I thought I saw - that 'some' HD channels are looking better on Dish lately. It's hard to believe isn't it? We must be imagining it. ;)

    What's happening to my OTA timers??

    Failure of OTA timers to remain fixed on the 622 has been an issue for me and others since a software upgrade happened in the summer of 2008. Others here have told you about work arounds, such as setting programs to "weekly" but that still isn't how it is supposed to work, and with "once" and...

    Np FX or Speed HD

    Online Tech Support Chat fixed it F-A-S-T After over 24-hours and a couple of reboots I asked for an "Authorization re-hit" via Tech Support Online Chat and the new HD channels lit up in less than five minutes after I connected to chat. For me it was much faster than any phone call I've ever...

    Does anyone actually order Pay Per Views?

    We've never watched a single PPV movie. The price as compared to other ways, (Netflix & Streaming Netflix) is just too out of line. If a movie in HD was $2.00 we might watch several a week, and if many people did it, Dish would surely rake in lots of money they don't get now. Is it possible...

    Is Dish Broken?

    Dish isn't completely broken, but it operates so badly it does not deserve customer loyalty. It is an ordeal to change carriers, and that is what has kept me hanging on for a long time. It's hard for me to deal with a company I don't respect. The money factor diminishes in importance in the...

    sound dropping for a second?

    Driving us crazy! :eek: With home theater surround sound on and turned up, it becomes an obvious major annoyance. (I know, we can turn it off and listen through 1" speakers in "stereo".) :eureka

    12/08/08 Charlie Chat Will be Deal Breaker !

    Dish's constant practice of falling short of their own stated promises has left me a disappointed customer after six years with them. I have decided that no matter what they say they will be providing in the future, they will probably provide less, in my opinion. That is what I view as their...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    It's been at least three years since we have watched any movie in SD. With uninterrupted movies in HD on some Dish channels, and especially Netflix rental movies, we never watch an SD or HD interrupted movie anymore, and would never consider an edited version. As for pay-per-view, even in HD...

    50 New National HD Channels in 50 Days?

    We are to get 50 new national HD channels on Dish by the end of the year. Isn't that right? Will we get one a day for the next 50 days, or do you think they will come in increments. How about all at once? Wow! These are exciting times for Dish HD subscribers. All complaints about Dish HD...

    Circuit City Pulling off a Fast One?

    Yeow! That rings too true! :eek: Well, my current Dish contract will expire in February, so if things don't get better soon I can make a change. I'll really hate giving up their great HD-DVR It's too bad that neither can be compared to some high end stereo shops I used to frequent, but then...

    Circuit City Pulling off a Fast One?

    Last week I went to a Circuit City store close to where we live in an Atlanta suburb, to get some home theater AV unit cables. When I got back home I told my spouse that the store was dirty, in disarray, and I never found anyone to wait on me, and that they would soon be out of business it they...

    622 OTA timers not working

    622 OTA Recording Failed Starting in Mid-summer After working perfectly for over a year, our 622 started failing to record OTA programs set as "New" in mid-summer. Satellite timers were OK. After haggling with Dish extensively, they agreed to replace the unit. The replacement 622 has failed...

    What's YOUR tipping point?

    If the wife can't get USA-HD and I can't get Sci-Fi-HD by summer we'll start counting down to our August end-of-contract deadline. When that date arrives and Charlie is still saying "soon". we'll go to Direct.

    Pushing Daisies

    Fairy Tale for Adults It's a fairy tale for adults - too quirky for some, but it's sweet sentimentality mixed with a dark side, and occasional violence do not deter it from being a feel good piece of work. It has the feel of a movie, and even the music score is good. Sometimes the parts that...

    Fox Business Channel!

    If FBN is at all like Fox News then who would want it? I'd hate to base any of my portfolio decisions on a one sided, biased right wing fringe group's "reporting" of the financial markets. Wow! Are you really saying that you base your investments on what you learn on TV???

    So, Does Dish Respond Today?

    Wouldn't it be nice if even a fraction of subscribers knew what they had? It seems to me that a mass change over will not be initiated by subscribers who don't know even know the model number of their unit, or that there are differences. It will be a company mandated change when it happens.

    Weather Channel HD possible Clue?

    Weather Channel in HD Worthless? Never! There are those of us who watch The Weather Channel religiously. Up converted is acceptable to us. Real HD - Heaven! Are we sick? Of course.:eek: Are there lots of us? You bet.:yikes
