    Grace period?

    I called Dish and complained that I did not get what was promised by dish.com - a free Hopper 3 if you have three or more TVs plus excellent credit and I have both. I had to talk to two representatives but both instided that I have to pay $150 for the upgrade. I pointed out that I feel that Dish...

    Grace period?

    Picture quality does not seem to be in pair with dtv. We have hard time adjusting to just three tuners, never had watching and recording conflict with DIRECTV and we have three TVs. The service appears to go out more often than dtv, even small storms seem to be a problem with dish. There are...

    Can I move recordings from 622 to 722?

    I was thinking about activating an external hard drive then move my recordings from 622 to the external HD, and then watch these recordings on my new 722. Can the same external hard drive be effectively used on more than one DVR?

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    It's not about distance. It would be much easier to relocate dish 1000 then to run cable from 61.5 dish. Plus, I like current dish 1000 location because it cannot be seen at all from the street. I cannot move Voom's dish closer to dish 1000 because of several trees. And I don't feel like moving...

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    I got it now, thank you. I am not making it complicated because 61.5 dish is on the opposite end of the house and it is simply not feasible to run a cable from it to the dish pro twin. Looks like the only way to get stronger signal or to take advantage of the 61.5 dish is to relocate the 1000 dish.

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    I don't want to run any additional cables as I already have too many. I just want to know is there a way to take advantage of my current setup in order to get more reliable satellite signal. I'll try to simplify my questions: One option is to connect Dish Pro plus twin ( for 110 & 119) to...

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    The thing is that voom dish and 1000 are to far from each other. Cable from 61.5 goes directly to my living room. 1000 is connected to my tv with different coax cable. How can I use these two cables? I also have spare switch 21 somewhere.

    Dish 1000 with 61.5?

    Currently I have dish 1000 pointed to 110,119, and 129. It works most of the time but occasionally I have breakups on 129. Tried to realign the dish but this is the best I can get given the dish location. Before I installed 1000 I had 500 on the same mast with perfect 110 and 119 signal levels...

    Second HD DVR deals?

    I currently own one 622 and I'd like to get another one for my second TV. Last time I called Dish about it (November, I think) they wanted $199 for the second 622 DVR. That doesn't sound like a deal to me at all because I both mine for $500 a while ago. Not to mention that they are giving them...

    Al-Jazeera HD: No EchoStar, No Cable

    I've been watching Aljazeera on Globecast for few days and I can say with confidence that their news reports are not biased at all. In fact, some of the best English speaking journalists from all over the world work for them. As a team they are far more professional than CNN, MSNBC, FOXNews...

    I feel like I'm being scammed

    In addition to HD your 811 can also receive SD OTA channels. Can you see the missing HD channels in SD? If not or if picture is not very good then you may want to readjust your antenna.

    Dish deliberately screwing my OTA recordings?

    How can you see OTA PBS in SD with 622? I think 622 will not receive analog OTA signal. Anyway, it seems to me that Dish has its fingers in this problem. I can watch most of recovered shows too but when I want to stop the show before it ends by pressing stop and then Done on the menu, the...

    Dish deliberately screwing my OTA recordings?

    Pulled the plug many times, no luck. I am not the only one with OTA locals which makes it much more than $60 bucks. Or they wouldn't hide local PG for those who don't pay for them. I can see PG for every channel I don't subscribe to but not for locals. You can call that conspiracy theory if...

    Dish deliberately screwing my OTA recordings?

    Ever since my 622 got the latest software, my OTA recordings (locals) are constantly being "corrupted". Every single HD recording via OTA locals show as "Recovered" after I turn off and turn the receiver back on again. Event info says that the event experienced "data loss" and that it has been...

    National Geographic HD Excellent Programming

    NGHD PQ is crap. HD lite is working its way of making below average PQ look good as some of you guys reported. Maximum two channels per TP is what I call good HD PQ. Everything else is NOT true HD.
