1080p60 would be a pointless waste of bandwidth (over double) since most movies are only shot at 24 frames per second.

i laughed my butt off last night, was great.

sounds like a program not in HD issue to me...

Ya, plug the receiver into your composite inputs and plug the antenna into the coaxial input.

To be more specific. You will need one of the ViP series receivers (dunno why DVR was even brought into this, lol) and either a wing dish to hit either the 129 or 61.5 sats (depending on your location). Instead of a wing dish you can get a 1000.x dish for a single dish solution.

ah, didn't realize it started last week. When my DVR didnt catch it i assumed it had not started yet.

Just going to give people a heads up. Top chef is now listed in the guide as "Top Chef: Las Vegas" so your old timers won't catch it. Also episode 1 is not listed as new so it may miss as well if you select only to record new episodes.

am i reading this right that the dish you are using is attached to the railing of the balcony below yours? Edit: The dish must be within your balcony. No part can hang over the rail.

An OS and browser is a BROAD term. The 622/722 both have an OS and browser. How do you think you "browse" the dish online movies? The xbox 360 does not have a web browser yet it can stream netflix... To answer the original question though, no Dish receiver has the necessary software to stream...

the 922 will not do this... There has been a tight lipped project between echostar and microsoft having to do with media center extender type stuff but i don't know if that will go anywhere.

anyone slinging the race that i could snag? :P

I am in 100% agreement with this one.

they are offering it to people in contract as well. Seems like they are just trying to hold on to people at this point.

For me for a bedroom TV it also needs a sleep timer.

Wow, not to rain on anyones parade, but you could not pay me to run norton 360, Trend micro, or Mcafee... They use so many resources and try to take over your computer, it is horrible. I suggest NOD 32
