Get a VUDU capable BD player, you will never look back, 1080p and DD+ sound, no more Dish xxxxola. I canceled service, got a Channelmaster 7000PAL Echostar based, even has same remote as Dish, OTA HD tuner/recorder, very happy.

Hi, I just canceled service yesterday, they waived my last bill, i called after bill arrived in mail. I had the ENTIRE HD LINEUP for $29 for many years until wife called one day wanting an analog channel, sure enough they deleted it and switched us to a basic package. Now they say "Oh...

Jeff you may be right. I am getting a green signal around 32-strong on transponders 14 and 22 on 110, but none on the other transponders. A crazy afterthought, will the LNB assembly from a 1000.2 fit the 1000 dish ? Will it "werk" ?

I am sure this was discussed, but Dish made 3 HD only packages available, Essential for $10, Ultimate for $20, and DishHD for $29.99. I switched to DishHD, total $35/mo with DVR. My rationale is 110" 2 million pixel HD projection. SD just looks like xxxx on it, even with the Reon VX scaler...

I have this problem, started about two months ago. My 110 channels are not showing, the VIP622 is going through the transponders and can't lock 7, 15 etc. where individual channels are located. When i go to the pointing screen i only get good signal on 110 transpoders 8 and 22. When i do a...

It is a total fiasco on my VIP622. Or more like a catdog :) HDPPV movies can be ordered via ethernet. OnDemmand movies CANNOT be ordered via ethernet. The monthly nonconnection fee still applies if you are only connected via ethernet. Thank you Unibrow-Shaved-Off-In-The-Middle HDLittle CEO...

How more xxxxed up can it get? I can order HDPPV channels using the ethernet connection, but for On Demmand SD channels i need phone line. Well, i guess SD=analog=history=phone line, and HD=digital=future=ethernet/VOIP Screw Dish i am getting disgusted. All i have left is pray for...

I guess Charlie Ergen running at the right lower corner of the picture with the dextoxnatoxr (Carnie'll sniff me out if i said da word) in hand and grin from ear to ear may 'splain sumthn here :)

Hi, Just want to let you know that if you just acquired your latest HDMI 1.1 or 1.2 receiver or pre/pro with multichannel PCM processing, you are in for a surprise. Only 2 channel downmixed 44kHz PCM over HDMI. Come on Charlie, update to 6 channel PCM and while at it add AAC encoding in...

I use a grounding block that simly grounds the outside layer or the RG6. I use compression connectors. The rod is hammered into the ground next to the Dish 1000 pole and a second copper wire comes from the Dish mount itself (also metal). Total overkill it stands inches from a 50 ft tall...

Mine started whirring too, i took it off ready to trash it, but on a second thought pressed gently over the center of both fan hubs until one gave out a click. It basically clicked into place on the shaft and voila, no more whirring Targus.

The new crop of Blu-Ray burning drives and Windows Vista's HD integration would make for a nice archival collection of HD movies. Of course, USB-HDCP may come to town too :)

For those of us who are audiophiles, things like Frequency Range and Sensitivity (dB/watt/meter) are paramount when evaluating a speaker product. Now you tell what kind of self-respecting speaker manufacturer apart from Bose goes on to sell speakers WITHOUT PUBLISHING SPECIFICATIONS. Would you...

Same here, my local installer (still did it myself) told me after i visited the office not to make the mistake of calling the 1800 number or they'll send you a guy from out of town, possibly out of state too.
