ESPN vs My local Network stations (on Dish) for Saturday Football When watching college football on Saturdays I sometimes switch between ESPN channels and a network to see what is transpiring. ESPN's picture is subpar every time in direct comparisons to network games on Dish, on my HDTV...

Movies on The Weather Channel will send me to the computer for weather updates. Does NBC have a death wish for all it's assets? And then there's the NBC/Comcast thing.

You are confirming what I thought I saw - that 'some' HD channels are looking better on Dish lately. It's hard to believe isn't it? We must be imagining it. ;)

Failure of OTA timers to remain fixed on the 622 has been an issue for me and others since a software upgrade happened in the summer of 2008. Others here have told you about work arounds, such as setting programs to "weekly" but that still isn't how it is supposed to work, and with "once" and...

SOON sounds exactly right.

Online Tech Support Chat fixed it F-A-S-T After over 24-hours and a couple of reboots I asked for an "Authorization re-hit" via Tech Support Online Chat and the new HD channels lit up in less than five minutes after I connected to chat. For me it was much faster than any phone call I've ever...

We've never watched a single PPV movie. The price as compared to other ways, (Netflix & Streaming Netflix) is just too out of line. If a movie in HD was $2.00 we might watch several a week, and if many people did it, Dish would surely rake in lots of money they don't get now. Is it possible...

Dish isn't completely broken, but it operates so badly it does not deserve customer loyalty. It is an ordeal to change carriers, and that is what has kept me hanging on for a long time. It's hard for me to deal with a company I don't respect. The money factor diminishes in importance in the...

Driving us crazy! :eek: With home theater surround sound on and turned up, it becomes an obvious major annoyance. (I know, we can turn it off and listen through 1" speakers in "stereo".) :eureka

Dish's constant practice of falling short of their own stated promises has left me a disappointed customer after six years with them. I have decided that no matter what they say they will be providing in the future, they will probably provide less, in my opinion. That is what I view as their...

It's been at least three years since we have watched any movie in SD. With uninterrupted movies in HD on some Dish channels, and especially Netflix rental movies, we never watch an SD or HD interrupted movie anymore, and would never consider an edited version. As for pay-per-view, even in HD...

:eureka: :haha :eureka: :haha :eureka: :haha

We are to get 50 new national HD channels on Dish by the end of the year. Isn't that right? Will we get one a day for the next 50 days, or do you think they will come in increments. How about all at once? Wow! These are exciting times for Dish HD subscribers. All complaints about Dish HD...

Yeow! That rings too true! :eek: Well, my current Dish contract will expire in February, so if things don't get better soon I can make a change. I'll really hate giving up their great HD-DVR It's too bad that neither can be compared to some high end stereo shops I used to frequent, but then...

Last week I went to a Circuit City store close to where we live in an Atlanta suburb, to get some home theater AV unit cables. When I got back home I told my spouse that the store was dirty, in disarray, and I never found anyone to wait on me, and that they would soon be out of business it they...
