How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

[tigerfan33]

I tried out the 1080p yesterday. I had a qucik screen come up to tell me that my screen would go dark to check if my tv supported the movie. It never went black and went straight to the movie. I have a Samsung LNT-4065. The movie had really good pq. You get it for 24 hours. I tried it on tv2 it even played on it. I am not understanding why I can get it on tv2 also.

If you are viewing it on TV2 then it is downrezed (just like all HD on TV2).

Is there a 1080p movie scheduled for October?

 

[lakebum431]

Very good question JimP. Even though they don't have the bugs worked out you would think they would want to keep the 1080p content out there so they could keep advertising it.

I had a tech out last week to re peek my dish due to signal drop outs. I just noticed yesterday that there is no more channel 501. Anyone else??

Edit: I just checked The List! and saw that it is not available.

I still have 9 channel 501s (all HD) on my 722. However, I do not have any 1080p events at this time.

I've got nine ch501's, but nothing says 1080p.

 

[JimP]

I've got several 501's but not a 1080p which would be true to form as mine seems to show up late in the month.

I don't think there is one this month, at least not yet. If you watched the CC, Charlie said this was expensive to just charge $2.99. I think they are evaluating just how well this beta went given the complaints here online and probably many others of the silent majority. Dish made their advertising point by being the first to offer it. Now they have to refine it...and charge accordingly.... For me that means no freaking way!

I have 10 DoD movies and all of them HD j/k. Only SD.

I have a 612 and two 722's and only one of the 722's have the 501 channels. Anyone know why the 612 & other 722 doesn't have them? The two 722's have the same software version also.

We did bring up a few suggestions here, as to your particular devices, nope.

Yeah, I tried disabling DishComm, nothing in the guide still. Do I need to wait overnight?

 

[Smith P.]

We don't have more suggestions then posted already.

Looks like they have Speed Racer available to watch in 1080p.

Yep, this month's special. $6.99. Good luck with that price.

$6.99! Are you serious?

Oh well, my TV doesn't sync-up anyway to 24FPS, so I will stick to internet rentals, or even local rental versus that price.

I knew it was way to much anyways. I'd better get 2 movies for that price.

 

[db2]

$6.99? Good luck with that.

You can buy the Blu-Ray disc for $19.

 

[JimP]

yeah, $7.00 is too much.

I'd recommend $5.00 for a one month rental viewed as many times as you want.
