    VIP622 Complete Signal Loss, Diplexer or Receiver?

    I figured I would post here before contacting Dish to see if anyone had any ideas. I was getting the "Complete Signal Loss" message when I would move my VIP622, but the signal would always come back. Last night, the signal went away completely. I checked the connections, and the cable...

    Can someone from DIRT help with Blockbuster At Home?

    I returned an in-store rental to Blockbuster last Thursday, but it is still showing up under 'Discs At Home' in my account. Under 'Report Problem' it says to contact the store since it was an in-store rental. I went to the store today and they confirmed it is showing up as returned in their...

    Question about returning equipment

    I am considering canceling Dish and was wondering about returning the leased 622 I have. I've had it for several years, and the HDMI went out a while back. I haven't worried about since I can use component outputs anyway. If I cancel and send the 622 back with a non-working HDMI, will they...

    Changes to DishHD Absolute?

    Just got my bill this month and Absolute is $5 cheaper than usual. DishHD Absolute w/Locals 29.99 Not that I'm complaining about a price drop, I just hope they're not trying to merge with the old Turbo Bronze package and remove channels.

    Big bad USA vs. tiny island nation

    Now, this just fires me up. Your athlete broke the rules, yet you are mad because the US pointed it out (and that is "against the Olympic spirit"). I would think it was in the Olympic spirit to win (medal) within the rules. U.S. Olympic Officials Anger Island Nation -- Courant.com...

    Question of the Day

    Are competitions that are judged truly sports? Paul brought up the women's gymnastics valut in another thread and it got me thinking. With so much subjectivity in judging, is it truly a sport? With swimming, track and field, etc. there is a clear winner. When the judge from "former Soviet...

    "Remote Battery Low"

    I have a 622 and have been getting this message every time I change a channel for going on two months now. Is there any way to disable it (besides replacing the batteries in the remote)? I figure I will know that the batteries are low when the remote stops working. As far now, while the...

    DISH Network is now a proud sponsor of the University of Tennessee Athletics

    Just got this in the mail today. Too bad I'm already a Dish customer. Although i don't think I would want a big orange T on my Dish (even though I'm a fan). Is Dish doing this with any other schools? It probably doesn't hurt that it's Charlie's alma mater either.

    Olympic Trials

    Did anyone see Tyson Gay's 9.68 in the 100 meters last night? It was wind-aided so it wasn't a world record, but it's the fastest recorded time anyone has run 100 meters. It's shaping up to be an exciting Olympics.
