Now that 617 has started to spool out ... I was wonder if those that have 617 could give The Beast a whirl and see if actually does 1080p now.

I would do it ... but I am usually one of the last to get these updates ...

Thanks in advance ...
 
I just tried checking a previously recorded one and it showed 1080i. When I hit the view live tv button, my 622 with L617 rebooted.
 
Hmmm ... if you have the time ... and patience ... try downloading one again.

It could be that a 1080i version was downloaded?

If you try it again, maybe a 1080p version will be downloaded?

Thanks ... and of course ... post the results ... I understand that at the rate it downloads ... it might be a few days ;)
 
Got 617 myself ... tried watching a download version I had of episode 102 ... no joy :(

So I deleted it and downloaded 102 again ... still no joy :(

1080i only ...

FYI
 
Ya ... if you look at my sig ... you will see I have a 722 ... does not work for me ... time to send another email off to Dish tech support ...
 
I have been getting The Beast in 1080p The entire time. I have L617. I originally got 3 episodes and they were in 1080p.
 
Has anyone confirmed that it is indeed viewable in 1080p by pressing the TV remote's info button and checking? I still get "1080p The Beast" in 1080i even though I can get channel 501 in 1080p just fine. That said, the picture quality is beautiful, just falsely advertised.

Yes...please elaborate on how you confirmed that what you are watching is actually 1080p. We know you can download the the 1080p title but is what you actually watch show as 1080p in your TV menu bar as you watch it??

I tried to download it again yesterday and it still says that the tv resolution can't be used in 1080p and it will do it in a resolution that my tv uses. My 42" regza Toshiba hd tv is from 2007 and it is new to me . I just bought it last month and it was a floor model and reduced to $847.00. It is just like my Dad's regza 32"hdtv. We have actually been able to use a 1080p movie from the recorded portion of DISH's hard drive. Never tried to download over the internet. Both my dad and my tv can do 1080p because I can do Blu-ray in 1080p. I guess I will have to wait till the 922 comes out. Then everything will be upconverted to 1080p.

Still no joy ... :(

Downloaded episode 105 ... still 1080i :river

Sent another email off to Dish ...

I will say that I started the download about 11PM last night. I checked this morning at 10AM and it was done! A nice surprise :up
 
D/L and played. The best part is I have a 1080i set.
Why didn't it do a test for 1080p? :confused:

I have to say it was a great picture.:up
