Actually, I believe it is more common that millions of people accept mediocracy and it something doesn't work the way they think it should work they simply give up - instead of complaining and informing others of potential pitfalls. Consistency is something that both Dish and Archos lack...

Anyone know if it is possible to put a larger hard drive into a pocket dish unit?

my warranty problem with my new AV700e I opened my AV700e last Saturday and was fairly pleased with the unit. Resolution isn't great but I wanted the larger hard drive size. I charged the unit Saturday night. Sunday morning I removed the battery to see how easy that would be and if it were...

Okay, this may have been asked before but I haven't seen it so far. I'm using a dish 500 and a dish 300 on the 622 I just installed myself. Is there any benefit keeping the dish 300 on 61.5 or am I better off pointing it to 129. One rep this morning said it HAD to be pointed at 129 (actually she...

Question for evryone who has FIOS TV: I have a friend in the Wylie, TX area who had FIOS TV installed a few weeks ago and she says that with the 3 DVR boxes she had installed it will only be a single $12.95 charge per month as far as equipment rental. I thought it was $12.95 per month for EACH...

And they appear to have finally fixed the Closed Captioning problem on 720p OTA braodcasts ...

Unavailability in rural areas? I actually live in what you might call a "rural" area. For years our only high-speed access was via sattelite and then during the past few years by wireless. FIOS came down our street about six months ago. I wasn't pleased about this at first because the...

Yeah, just a socket wrench opened it for me. They didn't install any lock on it. What is really nice is the status lights inside.

Video hooked up? The video isn't connected to anything inside at this time. I simply had the RG-6 in place and didn't want them to have to mess with getting it through the wall and into the box later. I WISH I was lin the test market - can't wait to dump E*.

Inside of the box ... Here's the inside of the box for those interested ...

Next major release for the 921 After complaining to CEO@dishnetwork.com about the gibberish closed captioning on a 720p ota station (like our local FOX affiliate) I received a call back from tech support and was told that the next update for the 921 is scheduled for May 17. They assured me it...

I called the 333-dish number and of course got a rep in India. I told her that I had already repointed my dish that WAS receiving 148 to 61.5 instead. She had no problem with adding the VOOM HD channels but when I told her that I would now need to get the CBS east HD instead of the CBS west HD...

Maybe not the 921's fault I have a 921 that is connected to both a Infocus projector and a Sony HDTV. If I play (or watch) a FOX broadcast on the projector the FOX logo isn't cut off however if I watch that same 921 on the Sony HDTV the logo is partially cut off. Therefore it makes me think...

I have two E* 921 receivers which I use regularly to record shows to watch later. I find that the built-in ATSC tuner on my Sony TV is handy for when my 921s are both tied up recording and I want to watch some other live HDTV program - football being a good example. Even if you purchased the HD...

Yeah, I had seen a post some time back about others having problems with 720p tranmissions and CC on the 921 but what surprised me is that even my Sony's built-in tuner can't handle it either. I like to have the CC on because I have been flying jets for 25 years and the ears ain't as good as...
