I've just experienced this problem too. I have a HR24 and a H24 with MRV.

Doh! I'm an idiot. One of my component cables was loose (the blue one). Was watching a dark movie, so the picture looked pretty normal, but boy was the guide different. Then a bright scene came on in the movie and it suddenly all made sense. Thanks for trying to help and sorry to everyone who...

So forgive me if this is a stupid question, I did try and search before posting, but today my guide and menu, etc. are green. Before they were blue and orange. Was there a system update that did this? I do have an 18 month old who likes to play with remotes. It's possible she changed something...

I am glad you sent that letter. I'm not really worried about V Chip issues, but if there is a law that can change the fact that DISH is screwing me out of 6.00 a month, then I'm all for it being enforced. If you've been following the new DTV PAL OTA tuner they are about to start selling...

E* made it to the ballpark. Charlie wanted to renegotiate the terms of the game before agreeing to play.

I just used the online chat to make the switch. Was quoted $40.97 +tax. I have one VIP622, so it was 29.99 +5.00 locals + 5.98 DVR fee. Also got the cinemax for a penny deal without any problems, even though I had cinemax up until late November or early December. Took a screen capture of the...

"The TR-50 also sports a 7-day electronic program guide (using over-the-air metadata on the digital band)" I KNEW they were ripping me off when they told me there was no way to get program guide data unless I paid for locals through the satellite!

KungFu HD is back.

Thanks for all the info. I knew if I leased a second box there would be a fee, but I was hoping if I owned the box, I could avoid it. (on the web site when I went through the pricing, they called it a LEASE fee). Basically I want a second box in my bedroom to turn on for twenty minutes each...

I'm thinking of switching to DirecTV from Dish. I was a DirecTV subscriber many years ago, and I still have some old receivers. I will be getting an HD DVR from DirecTV, but for my second tv, I was wondering if my old receiver would work. I have a Mitsubishi SR-SD1 DirecTV Plus receiver. My...

I seem to remember back in the old days when Voom was a DBS, they had similar programming practices. Some channels would have 2 or 3 movies a day that repeated in a loop all day. The next day would be two new movies. They eventually switched to the type of schedules we're now used to seeing...

I just saw a commercial for Chiller on Sleuth. At the end was a tagline on the screen that said "Only on DirecTV". So I guess we won't see it on Dish. Not right away anyway.

You can watch it in HD, but not on channel 1806!

I think I'm the only one, but I like KungFu and Monsters.

Thanks Scott
