    Need help to reduce my bill...

    I already have five or six EHD's that I use with my 622's so the price of those won't matter. Can I watch programming that was transferred with a 622 to the EHD on a 211k with EHD?

    Need help to reduce my bill...

    I am getting divorced and don't want to pay $100/month for two people to watch tv (plus I don't need two 622's for two people). Here is my present bill: America's Top 250 69.99 HD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver 17.00 DVR Service 6.00 HD 250 Free ($10/Mo) 0.00 .................... Total $...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I got it working! (the Toshiba 2 TB hard drive - PH3200U-1EXB). There was a tool on toshiba's web site "Toshiba_drive_converter" that got rid of the extra partition and (allegedly) removed the 'sleep' function. I know I could have picked up a 2TB drive cheaper on the next but it was only $109...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I thought that we can use 2 TB drives now? I have been doing a little research and it seems that it is quite easy to get rid of that virtual cd thing (actually I think that it just a partition of the hard drive). I already have the drive so I don't think that I will be returning it.. I think...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Well the case that I have may be able to hold two drives side by side but it would be a very tight squeeze. I guess I will measure and then decide if I should take it apart. I was looking at the bestbuy website (Toshiba - 2TB External USB 2.0 and eSATA Hard Drive - PH3200U-1EXB) and it...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I am pretty sure that it is not two hard drives but I guess I can pry it apart and look. If anything it would be two hard drives laying side by side.

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I just bought a Toshiba 2TB drive and my 622 says that it is not compatible? Would it help if I formatted it first in Windows or Ubuntu?

    Dish iPad Application is Available

    I downloaded it a few minutes before I went to work so I didn't get much time to play with it but I did use it to control my 622 which freaked out my ten year old daughter - "Mom, the tv is haunted." It looks very similar to the old dish.sling.com portal but there are some extra features such...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    I am not going to do it just yet but I was going to try to get the deal that they have offered the few people that have called. I want to get my RSN's in HD before hockey season because I now need to drop NHL center ice (I changed my service address back to my present location so I won't get...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    I want to change from Absolute HD to America's Top 250. Can anyone offer any advice as to how I might get this offer? I have tried online chat and calling but those customer service drones won't budge...

    CONFIRMED(?)- Dish Discontinuing Absolute HD Package

    This actually works for me because I was thinking of going to America's Top 250 anyway. I will drop NHL center ice and pick up two RSN's in the process. My bill is going to go up but at least I can get a few of the channels that the rest of my family has been whining about for a while... Of...

    Versus on Dish

    I never did a one for one comparison but all of the games that I wanted to watch that were also on VS. were blacked out to me on Center Ice.

    NHL Center Ice - HD Playoffs (rant)

    Come on Dish! There are only four games on tonight and only two are on Center Ice. Why do you have to show three different versions of Colorado vs. San Jose and NO HD broadcasts of the Philly vs. NJ game?

    NHL Center Ice - I now get my 'in region' games (?)

    Until the Olympics I couldn't watch any Phoenix Coyotes games on Center Ice (due to the fact that I 'live' in Salt Lake City) and after the Olympics and that last free preview I can now watch home and away Coyotes games. Did the NHL change their policy on in region games? Or did they change...
