    OLYMPICS: Can you believe this photo????

    I don't want to say anything about all of the Spanish people, but formula 1 fans just have to look back at this earlier this season's test at the Spanish GP track and see the racist chants against Lewis Hamilton and that'll say something...

    The end is near for Windows XP

    We are a small telecom construction business and we do in house engineering and have about 15 comps. Most are windows 2k and they are very stable machines. We have 3 XP machines including my HP dual core 2gHZ and they are pretty good as well. We added 2 Vista laptops. The problem is that...

    New ViP 211 update screwed up my reciever...

    Dish in Motorhome

    I'm trying to decide on my satellite system for my motorhome. I want a DVR to use while traveling down the road. Does the Dish 622 require that it is pointed to a satellite while using the DVR? For example if i am driving it down the road and have one of those retractible dish 500s...

    811 wigging out...

    I have a ViP211, an 811, and 2 311s. Last night the 811 started searching for satellites. I check the point dish and seemed to be getting good signals. It still tried to search for satellites so I ran a check switch and the 110 & 119 sats only reported the Odds. 129 could detect All What...

    Dishnetwork blasting its Contractors

    I agree with Dish on this one. I have 3 houses and I am a loyal dish subscriber at each one. But when I had each installed over the years it takes a couple weeks to get everything right. They show up and waste an afternoon by saying they don't have this or that...then have to come back a few...

    Anyone else's 211 acting funny?

    Over this past week my 211 has been acting kind of strange. In the mornings it seems fine, but in the evenings, it takes it a while to find the next channel. The numbers come up and the guide info shows up...but it takes it a few seconds longer than usual for the picture to show up. Just...

    Need to convert from HDMI out to SVGA In

    My existing projector has an SVGA in and with a PC it works fine. The Sony AV receiver I want to add to the room has an HDMI out. Will adapters convert the signal correctly? Is there anything I need to look out for? Thanks! Shawn

    Atlanta Locals in HD

    Are the Atlanta HD locals turned on yet? CSR said that if they were on, I would see them on my 211's guide, but not yet.

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    New HD upgrade First post, but thought this was worth posting. I have 2 811's and 2 311's I am on hold for about 30-45 minutes when the CSR answers. He wants me to pay $299 for the Mpeg4 DVR reciever, giving up both of my 811's. My house is not set up for this; I want to trade 1 811 for...
