Grateful for Dish LGBT programming, BUT... I like some of the Logo programming, but I do not like Dish marketing Logo as HD. I subscribed paying the $10 monthly fee believing that I would be able to record "L Word" and "Queer as Folk" in HD as they were originally on Time Warner HD HBO. But...

According to Silent PC Review WD and Seagate take steps to fix terabyte drives | silentpcreview.com certain 1TB Seagate and Western Digital hard drives have developed what The Inquirer unhelpfully calls "a new self-bricking feature", in which otherwise-working drives suddenly stop being...

Thanks Scott, but Dish seems prudish to me. All their porn appears straight and even then I cannot determine content based on descriptions. No one from Dish has ever asked me what I want to see and it looks like they don't want to know what I want to see. I am an "everything" subscriber...

Should Dish programming be targeted only to a "straight" oriented audience or should programming be expanded to include regularly scheduled programming intended specifically for GLBT subscribers? GLBT programming is currently irregularly scheduled on standard channels and not at all on porn...

MORE DISH CUSTOMER BUILDING/RETENTION IDEAS GREAT ARTICLE. SPOT ON IDEAS. Here are several more: CONTENT differentiation is more important for customer building and retention than customer service. If you start losing customers, that is a clear sign that contract customers are willing to...

1TB Seagate Dish External vs Western Digital I am using five 1TB seagate drives in Eagle Consus M series enclosures and have had numerous "drive not recognized" errors which Dish has resolved by performing a remote "hit". I just had long talk with Dish about a new error 788 which tells me to...

DISH needs SUNDANCE HD and IFC HD Charlie, please delegate one of your staff to get Sundance HD and IFC HD live by Thanksgiving 2008. Did you even try to purchase Sundance? Looks like cable is getting more and more control of content. This is not good for satellite in the long run.

Content Crisis Solution Yes, Hendrix04, I want to use a Vip622 with ZvBox, but without modifing the Vip622 - rather by using the 622's OTA connection capability. The ZeeVee site mentions that the ZvBox "might" be compatible with satellite receivers that have an OTA connection capability -...

The recently announced "ZvBox" available for $499 preorder on Amazon has the awesome potential to make HD content from multiple sources including internet available to all HDTVs in a house by using existing coax tv wiring. Detailed info is at home | ZeeVee, Inc. Does anyone know if this...

Arts programming takes another loss with the disappearance of Voom's GALLERY channel. This is the only Dish channel to regularly telecast BBC operas in High Def. "Discovery HD Theater" used to telecast BBC operas - now they don't broadcast any "theater" events at all. Surely there is a market...

Normal Settings in Use I tried cycling thru zoom using remotes for both Vip622 and the monitors, The problem is at "normal" on both.

The extreme left and right HD picture edges do not appear (are off the sreen edges) of my HD TV monitors when watching HD picture through Vip622. How do I tell what/who is causing this problem? I am connecting the Vip622 directly to monitor using HDMI. Everything is now under manufacturer...

External Storage for Vip211 Availability? What date will external storage for Vip211 - Note VIP211 - and what will cost be??? Thanks.

DISH HD TIERS - Say it ain't so Tiered HD sucks! Been there, done that - on cable. I switched to Dish to get away from that. Switching channels from tier to tier, suddenly not able to receive a channel only to find out that I now needed to pay more money, endless BS, Pay more AND MORE. Don't...

Great stuff Really good and informative videos. SlingCatcher could be a huge seller if it uses a chip that overcomes the H264 limitations competitors have today. I wish Echostar would acquire Hillcrest now and bring those awesome SW/HW capabilities to market quickly. The image zoom reminds me...
