    Why buy a 3d tv?

    I would strongly recommend that you demand a trial period for any new 3d tv purchase in which you can actually spend a significant period of time wearing the "home-type" of 3d glasses prior to finalizing your purchase. These glasses being currently marketed are not very comfortable at best and...

    More than 3 HD TV's

    Number of HD receivers Too much! Dish basically charges you the same whether you own or lease your receivers which is unfair. However, you can own as many dvr's as you wish as opposed to the limit on leased dvr's. Also, I prefer not to enter a two-year commitment with any utility so that I...

    More than 3 HD TV's

    Number of HD receivers He can have more than 3 HD receivers/dvr's, but he may have to purchase some of them vs leasing them. I currently have a 722,722,622,622, and a 211k but I own all of them.

    How often does DN call to verify?

    Multiple DVRs/Receivers+Phoneline Connections I own 4 DVRs(722,722,622,622) and one Receiver(211k). The 211k is located in my farm workshop which has no phoneline connection. I purchased the 211k after being assured by DISH that it would not need to be connected to a phoneline since it...

    More DRM Coming?

    Unfortunately, DRM is in its infancy as far as the Motion Picture and Broadcast Industries are concerned. You can take it to the bank, they have many future plans for implementing DRM. For example, as soon as it is economically feasible DRM can prevent you from skipping commercials with your...

    How many receivers on a Dish account.

    I have 5 receivers (722,722,622,622,211k) with a total of 11 tuners. I purchased all of the receivers and have done all of my installations myself. The 211k is not hooked to a phone line since it is in my workshop bldg. which is inaccessible by landline. They would not allow a DVR without a...

    129 signal losses

    During the past week I am encountering brief (non-weather related) signal loss on at least three HD channels (CNBC, FOXB, FOX) all of which are on SAT129. This occurs on all 4 of my DVRs(622,622,722,722) and is not a weather problem. The error message is 206-signal loss. If the up or down...

    All American Direct HD Prices

    Reason for not "moving" I would then lose my current 3 HD locals which I currently receive from Dish (NBC, CBS, FOX); I do not want to play games to get the channels I should but cannot get because of the crooked congress being bribed by the Broadcast industry and Hollywood to pass the DRM...

    All American Direct HD Prices

    The only network that I cannot receive via Dish is ABC. I currently pay $5. per month for the SD version of ABC from American Direct which happens to carry 3 or 4 shows that my wife likes; otherwise, I would not pay anything for ABC since I do not watch anything on ABC. MY wife agrees that $7...

    Dish about to lose even MORE local channels

    It would be great if Dish Network would consider elevation angles when making their EA versus WA decisions. For the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma DMAs, the 129 bird is at 2+ degrees greater elevation than the 61.5 bird.

    622 with bad HDMI

    I purchased two 622s within two months after they came out. Both had defective HDMI terminals. I utilized the component connections for about six months to give Dish time to hopefully correct the terminal design problem before requesting replacements. As soon as I requested replacements, Dish...

    Help Get Fox Business Channel on Dish Network

    It is not a matter of which channel(s) any one individual prefers to watch or the particular political persuasion involved. It is a matter of having the maximum choice of channels available. Some of you guys need to GROW UP!

    Dish about to lose even MORE local channels

    If you feel that the local station is to blame for the impasse with Dish Network, I recommend that you apply pressure by contacting their local advertisers and politely inform them that you will no longer do business with them until your local station is again carried by Dish Network. As soon...
