    Can't Add Locals on E* Website

    What browser are you using? Mozilla/FireFox don't render Dishes site very well and its by design. If your using IE your security settings may be two high or you installed the stupid patch MS released to get around a patent litigation on the way controls are used/activated on a webpage.

    New ways of screwing people

    Doesn't sound like Dish was providing the promo. Its been quite awhile since Dish directly offered a self install promo. Sounds like the retailer was doing a cash and carry to clean out some inventory. I would check around there's probably a municipal law or something that states at minimum the...

    Installer 211 and 411 Mess

    FWIW CSR/Tech Support can note the account all they want. If you wanted the VIP211 you should have waited for it as they will not let you swap with out even more hassle then you went through now. :(

    Echostar X NOW IN ORBIT! AND AQUIRED!

    OK that much fuel would have blown the whole rig up. The sea launch site states its a problem with the platform. Which could be a mechanical glitch in any system or a structural problem with the platform it self. My guess is a mechanical failure of some sort that would seriously affect the...

    I keep losing 105

    Can you post pictures of the Dish Mounting location and the field of view from behind the dish? Maybe we can see or spot something in the horizon that the techs didn't notice. Thats not likely but it gives us and idea of what were looking at.

    Dish 811 box into Windows Media Center

    I love them for gaming (BF2, GuildWars, JO:TR, JO:E, CS-S, HL2) are demanding games and I've always had better luck with ATI cards then the Nvidia cards. But that was ATI specialty for quite awhile. Just hope there big jump into the TV tuners doesn't hurt there gaming line of cards. And free...

    Hello Guys I really Need Your Help...

    Its always part of the contract if they have a direct number that doesn't go though some sort of auto routing center like Earthlinks 800 numbers do. We had a direct line to our Call center but Tier 2 was the only ones allowed to give it out and was routed to a call screener who would dump some...

    Significantly Viewed channels in red?

    Unless hes already got locals they shouldn't show up at all in the Guide. If he has locals they shouldn't be red. They should show as subscribed channels but when he tries to view them gets a "These channels require a second dish, call Dish" message to get it installed. chaddux I would...

    Significantly Viewed channels in red?

    Are you in the Sacramento DMA? Its possible there the High Def versions which would explain why they show up red if you don't have a Mpeg 4 Receiver if your in that DMA or have a waiver for it.

    Hello Guys I really Need Your Help...

    Well I did a Google myself. This is defiantly not Dish Network. Its a contractor who has been pissing people off for almost a year. There are a few news group posts trying to trace exactly which company this number is being bounced around at and not gotten very far. I've had a D* Telemarketer...

    Dish 811 box into Windows Media Center

    Your correct that I haven't seen or tried the Elite ATI cards. But if there anything like the Tech Preview ATI put out for HDTV then Hauppauge defiantly has there work cut out for them in SD and HD processing in the months to come. But as I did state the ATI AIW cards are the ones I hate simply...

    522 hard drive upgrade

    I have a ACE drive from a Motorola DVR box. Works pretty good in my HTPC sitting at my feet. Its a 120 Gig 7200 Rpm drive. Don't think its that model though. Nope its a ST3120025ACE. I did a froogle on the model Pepper posted and got two hits ranging from $141 - $168 that says its a 250 gig...

    What's Dish's solution for this? I'm going cable!

    I fully expect Haupange to release a stand alone HDTV capture card for the PC sooner then Dish offers true MPeg4 encoding. With the software thats currently available for controlling both Digital Cable Boxes and Satellite boxes from a HTPC you wouldn't need a card designed specifically for...

    how to hook 510 and 625 to same tv

    Wasn't thinking here. Your cheapest options and probably easiest: DPP Twin One line feeds the 625 via a DP Seperator One line feeds 510 DVR or DP Quad One line feeds 510 Two lines feed 625 Other option is a switch 34 or 44 but would still be more wirring then the other two options.

    Dish 811 box into Windows Media Center

    Sorry but once you try MCE 2005 (or Myth Tv) with a dual tuner Haupange card you'll under stand why ATI All In Wonder TV cards are crap. The simple fact that 100% of the Encoding/Decoding on Haupange cards is many times faster than that of ATI AIW cards who off load onto the PC Processor at high...

    Dish 811 box into Windows Media Center

    ATI's TV tuners are simply put junk. For home brew setups a site called Build Your Own PVR is a good place for help.

    Are rates really frozen?

    I'm not aware of any of Dishes packages being rate locked on the comsumer accounts. Business accounts on the other hand depending on your setup maybe. The 18 month commitment is for Dish to be sure to at least make what they put out back from you. I.E. Free Install and EQ they lease you. And...

    942/622 operational question

    I think hes saying hes got a stand alone DVD-R recording device on TV2 output of his 942 and wants to make sure that he can set a timer on the 625 and get a signal when a timer fires on 2 like he does his 942 so he can set a timer on his stand alone DVD-R and record it as its recorded on the...
