Talked to TWC in Dayton yesterday and they said HD is coming "soon", but not today, tomorrow or Saturday.

This is one of the reasons that I dropped Dish last week. My OTA signals through my 722 were much weaker than my OTA signals through the OTA connection on my Samsung 720p DLP. Getting crap recordings got old fast.

You get a watchable picture with a 50-60 signal strength?! I start getting pixelation between 75 and 80 and at anything under 75, I get the "Lost Signal" error message. Not to diminish your problem, but I would be happier with your results than I am with mine.

Alright...I've tried both suggestions. Neither one worked. Pepper's #1 suggestion wasn't as easy as it sounds. I had to go into the Dish Menu and setup TV2 first. I tried the composite cables as well with no luck. That leads me to believe it's a box problem. Any other ideas before I call...

I have both a 625 and 722 that receive signals from a 1000.2. My picture quallity is outstanding on my 42 inch 720p Samsung TV that the 722 is on, but it's a different story on the 625. The TV in question is a 27" Sylvania that's about 6 years old. We are getting a couple of broken white...

The answer to the thread title can be found by applying Hendrix's Law of Probability. Bill Hendrix was my high school calculus teacher. He hated Statistics and claimed that the entire field of Probability and Statistics could be summed up in Hendrix's Law of Probability which states: "The...

Locals in HD would be the only thing to keep me with Dish. As soon as the chaos that is known as May is over, I'll be cancelling the service.

Now that the drama is over, I can bust this one out... One early autumn day, a Midwestern farmer dies. When he shows up at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter looks in the book and says, "Sorry. Your name is not in here. You've got to go." Poof, the farmer disappears. When he comes to, he finds...

Besides Super Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers Brawl and Guitar Hero III, here are three other that are family favorites: Mario Party 8 - It's a 3-D board game on the Wii, but with lots and lots of very fun mini-games Sonic and Mario at the Olympics - It's the summer Olympics and you do it...

Key point to remember is that the TV my wife mostly uses is a SD set with a 625 and the one I watch is a HD with a 722. I pulled most of these from other threads I've posted to on Sat Guys: Our SA 8300 had a one touch operation. If she hit Record, it would automatically save everything in the...

I'm getting a lot of heat from my wife about how much she hates Dish. Her list of complaints are many, but the major ones are that she doesn't like the 625 because it doesn't do some of the things the SA 8300 from TW did and she misses having HBO, Starz and Cinemax On-Demand channels. We...

"TiVo patented a feature that accounts for the average delay in a human seeing where he wants to play and hitting play. It will jump back a second or two to correct for that. I think TiVo has some patent on that as well. I do miss that feature a TON. I'm sure it would be implemented...

Yeah, what the French, Toast? I signed up for AT 250 + Ultimate HD so I figured that's what I'd see on my bill. Noooooo. It's listed as DVR Advantage for $49.99 and then another line that says Dish HD with 4 premium package for $60. She told me that the $60 breaks down this way: $10...

Finally got my first bill off the AT&T Customer website (I've got Dish bundled with my home phone). The E* piece didn't make sense so I called and got an American CSR. After running through each item one by one, I suddenly figured out that they gave me a credit for the ~$198 I put on my credit...

"How It's Made" in HD is really cool. My boys and I watch it whenever it's on.
