    Why are there only 2 HD local channels?????

    I can absolutely confirm that the chart you linked to is wrong. There is NO ABC available at this time in the San Antonio market. Again, why all the noise and press releases etc. etc. "We are rolling out the HD locals in San Antonio" "San Antonio HD locals available" When...

    ViP 211 Nothing but problems!!! completely unstable!!!

    I have done some more checking online and on this forum and it seems I am not the only one that got a broken 211. Why can't Dish get it together and launch something that works? I was willing to forgive them for launching the new channels with MPEG4 headers and even for HD-lite. But...

    ViP 211 Nothing but problems!!! completely unstable!!!

    So I purchased a ViP 211 from an authorized dealer and activated it a few days ago. First impressions (day one): the HDTV quality is great and the new channels are nice Day two: start watching some of the standard definition channels, all of the standard channels have real bad blocking...

    Dish messing with Voom, All are now HD-Lite 1280x1080i: Discuss this issue HERE!

    this news is dissapointing. I just invested in a 1000 sat. :( Does anyone know if it is possible for the r-5000 to work with MPEG4 encoded streams? That would be better than a 622! So for instance pick up a 411 once prices have come down a little then get the mod done ;)
