I'm a Gold HD / Classic Gold 250 guy. I get TMC West & TMC Extra West in SD. I get a whole bunch of Encore's in SD I get one Encore in HD. I got NO new HD movie channel today. Come on, fancy-pants Charlie. Give us Gold guys the HD TMC, since we've been chewing on the bones of the...

Wow. Looks like a little bit of attention by DISH in this department would make a big difference for a lot of users. How hard would it be to implement a editable guide system which allows you to turn on/off lists from the cycle-through, and to reorder the channel line up on your customized...

I just got the VIP 722, and I have been using the HD guide listing quite a bit, but it's frustrating to have all the NBA, NHL, and premium channels (which I am not subbed to) listed there, as well as all the duplicate channel mappings. Is it possible to hide channels I don't receive or...

The installer came today and took a look around from the ground. He says they can probably get a second dish for the 129 signal, but he can't say for sure without getting on the roof. Since we have snow on the roof, he can't check it out or install it today. I'm calling Dish to reschedule...

Well, I presume the signal dropped because he tried to aim the new dish in the middle of the 110, 119, and 129 sats, and there is a tree there. What I didn't get was why he couldn't leave the dish 500 alone, aimed to the left of the tree (it has been working fine for a year and a half), and add...

Oh, he never brough a new receiver out of the truck. This was all using my current 625. Does it matter what receiver is used when checking signal quality in the setup screen?

I live in the Chicago burbs. The tech says I need to see sat 129 for my HD locals. I suggested two dishes to the installer. He sighed and said he would go back up on the roof and have another look with that in mind. I thought it was strange that he hadn't already done this. When he came...

The tech came and told me the old dish 500 needs to be swapped for a new dish which needs to be aimed to hit a third satellite to get the HD signal. Unforunately this adjustment brings it a little more to the west, and a little lower in the sky, aiming it right at a tree. Evidently he sees no...

Hey, this is great information. Out of curiosity, why Band B? Is that an adjustment only the tech can make? Although the receiver is probably only around 40 feet from the second TV, we have quite a bit of trouble with the UHF remote from that location on the 625 receiver. I am hoping the new...

The installer offered to leave a length of coax line for me. I ran this through an existing hole in the floor of my family room, into the basement crawl, and strung it along the floor to where my TV is located. There is about 25 feet of exposed coax running along the floor of my finished rec...

They are upgrading me to a two TV receiver and I told the Dish CSR that my second TV was in a new location. "That shouldn't be a problem" was his response. Aside from whether or not THIS particular install guy knows about the new outlet, my question is more general. Should the original...

I'm going from the 625 DVR to the 722 HD DVR tomorrow. I have no idea what other equipment may need to be upgraded to make this work. Any advice on what I should be looking for from the installer? I am committing to two more years, so I want to get my money's worth on the install. Should I...

I called DISH to upgrade to HD on 1/28. I was told there would be new packages on 2/1 and I should call back then. I called back last week and was told the rebates were now gone, the commitment period went up to 24 months, and the best deal they could offer an existing customer was a $0.97 per...

My son and I received an R15-300 to play with. We are actually DISH subscribers, so the box doesn't have any apparent value to us. I'm wondering if any uses have been found for this box which do not involve a DirecTV subscription. Please note, we are not looking to steal service or do...
