    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    So glad that this site is up. Can you imagine if we all had to rely on dishnetwork.com or the 800 number to figure out what's going on? I know I'd be going bonkers.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Anyone getting a bunch of "Locked Event" while trying to watch programs on their DVR? Weird.

    Thanks!

    Just saw that I had access to all the Starz HD channels and the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh no... I hope my mom didn't order them by accident!" Glad to see that it's free for a year! Glad to have a free premium channel again. Had the Cinemax for a penny for 2 years and miss that...

    HD Theater and Encore

    When I had DishAmerica HD Gold earlier today, I still got Palladia and HD Theater. Won't miss them much moving over to AT250, except for WRC. :(

    Well, I finally caved in and switched over from Dish America HD Gold to AT250 + HD4Life. What sealed the deal was the addition of 22 more HD channels: FOX News Channel HD MTV HD Nickelodeon (East) HD VH1 HD BBC America HD FX HD Galavision HD G4 HD Golf Channel HD Investigation Discovery HD...

    New HD at the expense of Voom?

    Hopefully, took these channels away to make room for the other National HD channels. BTW, what's the official count so far on National HD channels? How many do we have left to hit the 100 by the end of the year?

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Wow, bummer... talk about sneaky... I'm glad MonstersHD and KungFuHD made it. If they retuned KungFuHD to like... AsianCinemaHD and showed all the Hong Kong, Korean & Japanese movies in original language with subtitles, that would be the coolest thing ever. I know they kind of do the same...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    GamePlay HD has been a pretty good channel. I remember 1/2 year ago, D* was advertising that they had exclusive rights to the WGS Championships which I thought was the coolest. I know some of GamePlay's stuff is a bit outdated, but I watched a Starcraft, Warcraft III & Guild Wars Tournament...

    Im ripping dish off

    Enjoy it while it lasts... come next year the chances of the HD-Only Package staying at the current pricing level of $29.99 with the current HD channel offerings is pretty much slim to none.

    What are your next top three?

    Spike HD, Comedy Central HD and MGM HD. As far as LiL HD channels, I've found that the OTA tuner on the 722 does a great job at getting a good signal. It is noticeably stronger than connecting to the OTA tuner on my Vizio HDTV.

    Warning, AT&T Dishnetwork Bundling Misinformation

    Don't forget if you bundle with AT&T, you will not be able to get the Cinemax for one penny promo. I tried 3 times with different CSRs and they all say you can't do it. This one was actually a dealbreaker for me. PLUS, in order to qualify for the bundle discount, you have to have DSL AND a...

    ViP 722 OTA antenna: basic cable feed possible?

    I currently have a regular OTA antenna hooked up on the roof. I will try to hook it up the the HDTV to see if it is good enough to receive all OTA HD channels. If it works fine with the HDTV tuner, it should work fine with the ViP 722 OTA tuner as well.
