    Minimum needed for HBO and or Showtime?

    Thanks for the very prompt reply. It sounds like it is no longer possible to just pay for locals plus HBO as it was a few years ago. I think at that rate I'll just cut the cord completely. Any idea if I put the account on "pause" whether I could still access HBO Go (which links to my Dish...

    Minimum needed for HBO and or Showtime?

    I have been a (mostly) happy Dish subscriber since Voom went "boom". I still have a 622, which is on lease. The thing is, I barely ever watch TV any more. And the little I do watch is usually HBO (usually through HBO GO). I was looking and found an old thread about getting just locals and...

    Dishonline on a Galaxy Tab (Android 2.2 "Froyo)?

    Woot.com has refurb Galaxy Tab 7" tablets for $259 (Sprint 3G, but you don't have to activate and can use as WiFi only). Quick question: would this work for Dishonline? I only have a 622 box so no Sling. Thanks, CDH.

    Okay, its spoken for. Thanks!

    Free: Sprint/Samsung Airave (mini cell tower femtocell)

    I paid for half of it and got a discount for the other half. I "own" it, and haven't had it on my account for a year.

    Free: Sprint/Samsung Airave (mini cell tower femtocell)

    I have a Samsung Airave unit that I used for about 8 months when I was renting a place that had bad Sprint service. Now that I've been in my new house for a while I haven't a need for this device. I'm willing to give this away for the cost of shipping simply because I want it out of my house...

    Latino Max

    I just switched to Latino Max (from Absolute) and found the same problem. My solution will be to create different favorites lists with a separate one for "audio", but then again we only have two people in my household and we only watch a limited number of channels. It does seem like a silly...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well... it was fun while it lasted. I bit the bullet and called. I went to Latino Max $52.99 - $10/month for a year = $42.99, including free Platinum and Starz for a year. They also eliminated the $5 "TV2 Connection fee" so I'm ending up about $8/month more, and slightly more than that...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    That was a JOKE. "Free OTA for Life" - get it?

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Argh. Count me as another HD Absolute customer who thought the party would never end. I liked the cheap package, and didn't need lots of channels. Heck, even if I paid $5 per channel a-la-carte for those I actually watch I'd come out under $40/month. I'd go to Dish America Bronze but a few...

    Dish Network, I'm moving and want to upgrade

    I called the main Dish Network customer service number. I'll try calling back and seeing if they made a mistake on the $15 charge in my case, but they seemed clear I'd have to pay it. CDH.

    Dish Network, I'm moving and want to upgrade

    I just got off the phone scheduling a move and the cost is only going to be $15, though I'm keeping my same (622) receiver for now. They said something about my being a "five star customer", whatever that means. Once I'm settled I'll probably upgrade to a 922 but that'll cost me $200 plus...

    internet connection help

    This is interesting to see other people having trouble with this unit. I have the 2Wire 2701HG-B as a free install from AT&T and it has been trouble-free aside from needing to be rebooted perhaps twice in 9 months (knock on wood!). However, I'm about to move into a new house in which I've...

    DISH DVR 922 RELEASE DATE????

    All as expected. Any word on what defines the $200 vs. $400 price for "upgrade"? I'm an existing customer not under contract. Would love to upgrade my 622 to a 922, at $200 I can probably justify, $400 less so. CDH.

    DISH DVR 922 RELEASE DATE????

    I'll be trying for the same thing, though for various reasons I probably won't be trying until mid-June. My guess is there will be a one-time "lease fee", and it could be hefty - $200? (I have no basis for estimating this other than that I seem to remember that has been the going rate for...

    Thanks very much for this. I was looking at buying this model, but I'll hold off. CDH.

    DISH DVR 922 RELEASE DATE????

    Hey this is perfect timing! I should be moving to a new house in April, and had been hoping to get a 922 as part of the move. However it'll probably come down to two choices: 1. set up a new account at the new address and get a 922 (I've been out of contract for ages and my wife could set up...

    2 HD TV's and 1 HD Duo Box?

    There are people on the board with the expertise on how to do wiring, but you can run HD off a 622 or 722 to two TVs by using both the Component and HDMI outputs. Of course both TVs have to watch the same thing. To get different HD programming on two TVs you will, so far as I understand, need...

    HDMI over CAT6?

    I can't answer your questions, but I am in a similar position, building a house. I've learned a lot, and the answer I keep getting is that without being able to test the specific cable and what devices will be at either end no one can make any promises for longer HDMI runs. In the end I...

    TVs that will play center channel only?

    Hi, I'm doing a new home-entertainment system at a house I'm building. I'm planning to mount a 46 or 50 inch TV over the mantle, but I'd like to avoid having to install a center channel speaker. Are there TVs that will use the built-in speakers to play only the Center audio channel of a...

    New house wiring solutions

    Thanks for the input. I'll talk to the wiring guy about Cat 5/6 (my guess is that a lot of TV signal will move to IP in the future anyway) and to the builder about running conduits for future cables. I will also have to install an OTA antenna, but not sure of where to put that. My previous...

    New house wiring solutions

    Hope to get some input from some experienced installers. My new house is coming along very nicely, with wiring to go in over the next couple of weeks. I want to give myself a lot of options for network/TV distribution throughout the home. Ethernet (100bt or gigabit) to several locations -...

    Windows 7 OEM version?

    I skipped Vista, but I understand that is true. Interestingly it seems that anyone could potentially buy just an upgrade license and use this method to do an install on a newly-built PC, for example. Not an issue for me since I was doing a legal upgrade from XP, but still interesting...
