    SatelliteGuys Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV – A Diamond in the Rough

    Just noticed that the Flixster Movies App update on the Android market says added support for Google TV 2.0 ! Hope that's a sign of arriving "soon". Sorry, I had to. Soon seems to apply to Google as much as it does to Dish.

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    I'm having downloads appear in My Rentals, that I haven't rented. I delete the shows and they appear again a day or two later. They act as if there is a timer set to record them. Always the same shows. I wish they would disappear! Pretty odd. Is anyone else having this issue?

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I haven't read any mention by anyone being able to stream on a 622. I have been following these threads since Sat. I don't think the correct software has sent to our machines. No movie pass on my menu. :(

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    Red Zone is GREAT! Love it. Watch your regular game split screen with RZ on the other side and don't miss a thing. It's worth every penny of the $5.99 during football season.

    VOD won't play 1080p..

    If you haven’t tried the 1080p test on 501 recently you might want to try it again. My Sony 1080/24 (early) would not accept the handshake until the last software update. I tried it many times in the past and it would never pass. The set now passes and I was able to watch Knowing. The...

    L621 Issues

    I have a 622 with L621. I wonder if they tweaked the software support for the 1080p downloads? My (early) Sony 1080p / 24 would always fail the compatibility test and I wasn't able to view 1080p content. I tried it last evening and it now passes the test! I have tried the test many times...

    Sirius Xm to raise rates another $2

    I have been a Sirius customer for several years. This will be it for me, to much for to little. Back to the free airwaves. Until they figure out a way to charge (tax) us for that! Woops, they already do..our taxes pay for all the Gov't regulation. FCC etc. :(

    Dish Remote Access / Sling

    I don't see a way to change the daylight savings time on the guide. My computer is set correctly. Funny thing is that all was well when the slingguide was in beta testing, this started after the release.

    Dish Remote Access / Sling

    My slingguide grid is always an hour off. For example, programs that start start at 5pm say that they start at 4pm. The computer clock is set correctly and the slingguide also has the correct time. I am in the pacific time zone, it seems that the slingguide thinks I am in a different time...

    Sling Media Launches SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone and iPod touch

    Has there been any word on applications for other platforms such as Palm OS. Slingbox supports several including Palm. I hope that Sling/EchoStar combo doesn't mean that Sling will slow down in the innovation dept. I would love a 922 but having to change my pda, in order to utilize the sling...

    Chico/Redding in high-definition?

    The quality of the HD feeds look as good as my OTA. Happy Days! Finally be able to Record two HD Locals at the same time. We are lucky to have the big 4 Networks in such a small market. Thank you Dish!

    First Night With Dish Network

    Great Tip! Great tip! Not being able to see what is on other programs and hear what you are currently watching always bothered me. Shows you there is always something to learn. Thanks.

    L618 fixes The Beast in 1080p!

    My Sony 52W3000 is doing the same thing. It is reporting 1080/24p but cutting in and out. I also haven't been able to view 501 PPV 1080p. The test starts to blink approval then quickly changes to not compatible. There must be something wrong with the handshake between some Sony models and the...
