So, if he signed up with AAD, can he switch to DISH for Distants or have both until the AAD term runs out???? I guess he has to drop the locals from the RV package then.

You may be correct. I guess I will have him contact DISH directly to get the Distants then. Thanks for the info.

Interesting, since AAD's website shows NY HD on the 72 deg satellite... SD on the 119 satellite.

I find out from him if he has HD or not when it gets activated (he just sent his RV Registration). The $9.99/month includes his Local channels (from his home ZIP Code) and the NY Distants. The locals don't show up on his DISH Network online account and monthly fees. I guess he could call...

I am confused about the Distant Network offering from DISH for RV accounts. A friend just retired and signed up for the RV Pay as you GO account and ordered Distant networks at the same time. He was transferred to MyDistantNetworks that offered New York and/or San Francisco. All the...

Yeah - well after having recently upgraded my last 50x series DVRs for 211s, I don't think I will be upgrading for a while.. And the last thing I need, with 2TB of programs archived on my 622 EHD, is upgrade to a new technology that doesn't support the archive drives... It's bad enough that...

Wow - that would be disappointing that receivers that already have Ethernet connectivity can't 'securely share' their storage between receivers. The only thing we can do currently is and I hate to use the term, sneakernet. And even then, it's only between the ViP211s - moving hard drives is...

Not sure if this has been asked or anyone has thought of this, but does anyone know if DISH plans to offer an software upgrade to the ViP receivers that would allow any ViP receiver in a household connected to the LAN to playback content from it's attached hard drive? We have a ViP622 and 2...

Recently, in our local market (Local ABC channel is Owned by ABC/Disney), there have been ads running from Disney/ABC warning viewers that come Sept. 2, they may lose their ABC and ESPN channels if an agreement isn't struck. (Basically, Time Warner is doing a Charlie hardball play)... The...

I may have misread the Thread on STELA act just passed but doesn't it allow DISH to offer DNS to RVs and Truckers again? I believe Scott said that DISH would be allowed to offer DNS starting in June.

I was referring to the DP-501, DP-508, etc models - which I still have one of each in addition to the ViP units I have.....

Quoted from an earlier post: ." According to the quoted text of the ruling, units already in the field with end users are NOT subject to the order.

Count me in to move my Slingbox to TV2.... (Although it can be fun to change channels on my wife).....

We lost both the SD Locals (error message about receiving outside local area) and HD (diff. message - do not call....)... Occurred around 6:30 EDT. Rebooted both units and it appeared to come back.

I tuned to 102 and found the 'slide' - thanks for the info. DISH does appear to have it messed up though - the episodes are each 83 minutes long but they only show 1 hr window for the first one and 30 minutes for the second, etc.... Oh well. Still won't let me set a timer on the DVR for...
