    Which DISH Package's will include AMC?

    FWIW I've had the Dish America pack since mid August and AMC was included. Today as I sat down to watch The Walking Dead I received a notification that "this channel is available as an immediate upgrade without a call." ^^^ IGNORE ^^^ I didn't realize that it was part of the free preview. I...

    Why isn't nip/tuck full screen on FX?

    Nope. I listed the model in my original post though. ;) http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Ofi43M8dCZX/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=147350&I=158KD50A10&id=review&search=Sony+VENDORID158&SearchDisplay=Sony

    What are your current signal levels on the 119 transponder 11? If you're around 100 then you should be able to swap the Dish 500 out to a 1000 which has all 3 LNB's (110/119/129) on the same arm and adds skew to get the 129 bird. If you have a DPP twin LNB on the Dish 500 you can run coax from...

    VIP 622 reboots

    My 1st ViP622 rebooted several times per hour, Dish sent a replacement and it lasted a few months and then stop displaying video, and now I am on my 3rd ViP 622 which has been working like a champ. Maybe 3rd time really is a charm? :P

    Why isn't nip/tuck full screen on FX?

    Ahhhh, I never thought about that. I guess we'll continue to get a crappy picture until FX goes HD. :( Thanks for the input.

    Why isn't nip/tuck full screen on FX?

    I have a ViP622 w/ Dish and nip/tuck is a smallish box in the center of the screen with odd looking vertical side bars that are about 1" wide and take up the full length of the screen. The show doesn't even fill up the screen vertically on my 50" Sony E50A10. I can use Zoom on the TV but it...

    Will the H20 remote (RC24) send commands to an aftermarket remote?

    You do the steps in my previous post in order to allow the RC24 to send commands so that the MX-500, or other universal IR remote, can learn them.

    Will the H20 remote (RC24) send commands to an aftermarket remote?

    I found the answer. :) You need to go into the menu of the H20 to change it from RF to IR. To turn on the IR of the remote: 1. DTV 2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks 3. enter 9-6-1 4. press CH DOWN

    Will the H20 remote (RC24) send commands to an aftermarket remote?

    I have a Home Theater Master MX-500 remote that I am trying to program to operate a DirecTV H20 HD receiver. There doesn't seem to be a 3 digit code for the H20/RC24, nor do they send out commands when you try the learn function on the MX-500. I have the H20 set to IR mode, and I currently have...

    Not happy with StarzHD quality

    I'm watching Out of Sight as we speak and it's some of the best HD quality I have seen on my KDF-E50A10. It's very detailed and the colors are vibrant. However I did notice a blob of garbage pixelation in the center of the screen for a split second that appeared to be black and white. Thank...

    Rain Fade since 622 upgrade

    In all honesty there's nothing wrong with the Dish 1000. You should get nearly the same signal strength as a D500 when a D1000 is aimed properly. It's the 129 bird that is weak.
