    Received letter from Dish about redirecting my dish

    I got the same letter. I called for the free re-direct and a Dish technician came out yesterday (4/17). I had a two Dish Pro 500 dish set up, one pointed at 119/110 and the other at 61.5. They removed the two Dish Pro 500 dishes and replaced them with a single Dish 1000.2 dish. Re-pointed the...

    Which SAT should you have with a 722/HD

    I just did a quick check. For Ashtabula it looks like they need to have a dish pointed at 61.5 in order to get the Cleveland locals(and HD locals) and the remaining HD channels. Typically one dish will be receiving 110 & 119 while the other dish is receiving the 61.5 signal. If the...

    Restore iTunes from iPod?

    You might take a look a program called Sharepod, it might let you download your files from your iPod to your computer and then import them into iTunes. I do use Sharpod but have never tried what you are asking. Take a look here: SharePod

    LCD OR DLP?

    I have a 52" Toshiba DLP (52HM84). I've owned it for three years now. At year two I had the bulb blow, I bought a replacement and a spare ($250ea). It has been working fine and I like it a lot but I'm about to replace it. I will be replacing it with a 52" Toshiba LCD (53XV540U). There...

    How Long Have You Had HD With Dish?

    I've had HD service since it went active. I've also been with Dish since they lit the first bird up back in 1996.

    OFFICIAL External Storage Information

    Yes, I can confirm this. As a single guy, I have my 622 set to single mode. :) In single mode you can indeed access the external storage from TV2 - not that it's any help to you all who don't use single mode..... But I think there will be some changes down the road that will make us all happy.

    totally Unofficial Thread on Compatible External Storage for the VIP 622

    I pulled the Maxtor 250GB out of my old (owned) PVR921 and stuck it in an external USB 2.0 enclosure - it works fine.

    OFFICIAL External Storage Information

    Well I just did mine - very very easy! I had my old (owned) deactivated PVR921 sitting in my closet. I removed the Maxtor 250GB HDD and stuck it in a $24 external USB 2.0 enclosure, formatted it on my VIP622, called the E* number and was immediately activated. I'm now watching TV while...

    Who in here is moving to another cable/satellite company?

    I wont be leaving but when the rate hike comes I'll be downgrading my service. I've been with DISH since 1996 and I do like the service - but It's starting to get to expensive. I currently subscribe to Platinum HD + Locals + Super stations. When the rate hike hits I'll definitely be dropping...

    Hello all - Just registered, I've been lurking for about a year. Finally got tired of not being able to see the .jpg attachments...:D I follow the Dish Network threads as I have been a Dish customer since they launched their first bird.
