Thanks for your reply Scott, I was hoping that you would reply:) Would it be possible to pass these questions along to the CEO? If XStreamHD does all of this well, I will be placing my order ASAP.

I am just starting to research various media players as I recently installed a Synology NAS. I currently am using a PS3 for viewing the media off of the NAS but would like to step up to a media player such as the Dune BD Prime 3.0. I started reading about XStreamHD and have questions about...

Call From Dish I got a call from the executive office and they are willing to replace my 625 with a 622 for $199. They would then change my programing package to the DishHD Platinum. Is the $199 charge the same everyone else is paying or should I be able to ask for a lower price or perhaps...

Followup Question I am okay with not receiving the new HD channels with the 942 - it will be in the bedroom and we will be okay with the existing HD channels in there. Should I also be looking to upgrade my dish? I currently have two dishes, one at 61.5 and the other at 110/119. To...

I currently have a 942 and a 625 with America's Everything Pack. I recently bought a second HDTV for the bedroom and would like to move the 942 to that room and get a 622 for the main room. If I lease a 622, I will be able to receive the new HDTV channels, but do I need to switch my...

I have two DVR's that both use Dish Pro Plus Separators and I think that one of them is bad. I am no longer getting any satellite signal on that tv and when I switched the separator's, everything worked again. I put the existing separator back on and no signal. Anyway, where can I get a...

I am currently leasing a 942 and a 625. Since having the 625 installed I have replaced that old tv with a new 37" plasma. I would like 2 622's and would like to know if I will be able to get a rebate for both of them. If not, can I trade my 625 in for the new 622 and then keep the 942? That...

It looks like the Dolan's are offering to buy the outstanding shares in Cablevision and spin-off Rainbow Media as a separate company. Charles Dolan would be running Cablevision and James would be running Rainbow Media. If this would have happened a year ago, maybe we would still be...

This is a very common issue for 942 users. Please see this thread to read about the problem: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=41135 And see this thread for an update from E*: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=41861

Here is more info taking from a SEC filing from Cablevision: In April 2005, subsidiaries of Cablevision and CSC Holdings entered into agreements with EchoStar Communications Corporation (“EchoStar”) relating to the launch and operation of the business of Rainbow HD Holdings, LLC, the...

Our phone company wants several dollars a month for caller id so until we switch to something like Vonage - no caller ID for us. For as little as we use the phone - it is very annoying to pay $30 each month. Vonage does not offer area codes in our area so I am waiting until they do before I...

I just ordered a RCA RC930 off of eBay for around $30 shipped. It is not new in the box, but the seller has excellent feedback and a DOA policy so I am pretty confident. When we turned the 625 on last night it gave us the message that a phone line needs to be connected to avoid the fee. If...

I too have noticed the audio blips on Rave ever since I signed up for Voom. I now have Dish and the blips are still there. This is a great channel but I sure wish they would do something about the audio problem.

I am sure that this has been discussed, so if someone can provide me with a link that is all I need. I just had a 625 installed in my bedroom and the phone jack is on the opposite side of the room. I don't want to pay the $4.99 monthly fee for not having it connected to a phone line and I...

Conference call over. Not much else to report except that the contracts that Voom DBS had entered into are still being looked at to determine how much it will cost Cablevision to terminate. I personally hope that it costs Cablevision a huge amount of money to break these contracts :p Also...
