Any advantage to buying one of these as opposed to leasing? The monthly fees are the same, correct?

I had the 880 for about 3 years and it gave out on me. I liked it for the most part, but was upset it gave out that 'quick' considering it's kind of an expensive remote. It took me a while to get used to the buttons on it. I then picked up a Harmony 610 a few months ago for around $50. I...

Try toggling your main "non-HD package" first. Like from 200 channels to 250 channels, then back to the package you currently subscribe to. After that, look into the 'HD' section to see if it is then populated with the choices.

Yeah, don't use the CSRs. Do it online yourself. :)

Dish's website is buggy. If you don't see an entry under the HD section, toggle your regular programming package. Like select 200 then 250 channels or whatever. You should then see the HD programming selection show up: 'HD & Platinum'.

I think you are getting charged too much for HD. Go online and toggle your main package and then look in the 'HD' section. You should then see a single option for $10 that says 'HD & Platinum'. Choose that and you should get the same channels you do now, but for $10 less.

What exactly are the 'Loyalty Credits'? And how did many get them? Do I need to call and complain about the increase?

About 2 weeks ago, I was being charged $10 for just 'HD Silver'. I found out that if you login to your account online, you can switch it to 'HD & Platinum' yourself, and that gives you those extra 10 or so HD channels for the same $10.

Here is mine. I have 2 leased 622 DVRs. I notice many have a charge that states 'HD & Platinum', where mine is 'SilverHD'. Is there a difference between the 2?

Does anyone know if/when the RSNs (most specifically Comcast Chicago) will go HD 24/7?

My guess is Comcast and DirecTV

I just woke up here to my power going out in the house. It kept cutting in and out and finally went out for a good 2 - 3 minutes and then finally came back on. I have UPS systems on all my computers and TV/DVRs. I shutdown all my computers gracefully, and then look at my 2 Dish 622s and each...

ditto everything squirrel said. I also have a single dish hooked up (Dish1000) now, with another dish pointed at 61.5 that is doing nothing except plugging the holes in my roof. :eek: The OTA channels are great to have. You could even probably get away with an indoor smaller antenna and...

Any chance Dish eventually offers anything like HBO on-demand through a technology like this for those that subscribe to premium services like HBO? A friend of mine has comcast cable and he gets to watch lots of HBO episodes on demand and works well when you forget to record something.

Does the DPP44 absolutely require a power converter to work? I had one that combined a Dish500 dish (61.5 sat) with a Dish1000, and never saw any converters anywhere in my setup. It has worked fine for over a year now and I recently started getting low signal problems. A tech came out today...

I've been having issues out here in Chicagoland as well and have a tech coming out to check the dish today. Should there be a power box supplying power to a DPP44 switch and the dishes? I have 2 622's connected and the install guy today (who is re-peaking the dishes) is telling me that one is...

Don't you get WGN-HD through OTA? Does CSN-HD show anything other then the games in HD? Just want to know what I'm missing.

So does anyone know if there is a game that they are showing in HD, and you switch to the SD channel, will it automatically "map down" or whatever to the new HD channel? Or do I need to have both of these channels (the SD and HD versions) in my favorites list?

I currently have 2 622's connected to 2 dishes... A Dish1000 and a Dish500 pointed at 61.5. I think they used a DP44 switch or whatever. 2 lines come into the house and a single line runs to each 622 where they get split back out. I've noticed over the last week or so that I have been...

It's mighty odd that this problem would happen on the same night that the new software was being rolled out. Don't you think?

Actually, I did have to call in sick today. I got the same "corrupted data" , but no update. What's up with that?

I don't see the dropouts. but I mostly only watch the CBS HD local from Dish, since I can get the rest OTA. Not that it's any excuse for the dish problems, but would you consider an antenna to pick them up OTA?

I don't think the HD locals were ever MPEG2.

Yes, you can watch whatever you previously recorded, but it will be sent as an SD signal.
