dish is not permitted because of what probably amounts to 'security, aesthetic, and maintenance' reasons. I'm trying to convince them to get dish to do a commercial install for the whole complex (there's pretty much no way they would just let me get it, partly because of how the aforementioned...

any news on how anyone can basically get the absolute HD programming, but also a RSN? Is this what one of the TurboHD packages is? thanks

I already received the letter some time back,

they told me that the promotion requires a recommitment of 2 years (as opposed to a 200$ one-time charge). This doesn't make sense to me, because in that case I might as well change to another TV service provider, and I would receive all new equipment in addition to a satellite antenna upgrade...

they won't permit this I'm just trying to subscribe to some channels, which is incurring a 200$ equipment/install fee, I did have some intl channels on 148, and one of the new ones I want to get is still on 148, but dish won't add it, they require it to be added on 118.7 (it is currently on...

I am trying to get some channels that are being switched over to the 118.7 within a few months; currently I have dishes for 129, 148, 110, 119, and when I tried to add these channels the technical rep was unable to remove a 200$ installation fee, even after I told him I can re-align the dish...

thanks, any more detailed info on what HDCP is enabled for is appreciated. Also, even if HDCP is not enabled, there is a question of whether the receiver hdmi output would even show up on a non-hdcp-compliant display.

^ much of this is general knowledge. Many DVI displays do not support HDCP, which came around afterwards. There is another issue as well: HDCP doesn't apply to 'analog' component video output which currently can also display all E* broadcasted HD resolutions. There is reason to wonder...

thanks for the reply, so basically what I take from what you say is that unlike HD-DVD & Blu-Ray standalone players, the HDMI output on any dish receiver doesn't have HDCP enabled.

the question is about whether hdmi -> dvi via adaptor cables still work on the vip622 (and other dish hd receivers) provided the tv is non-hdcp. Does dish now encrypt digital signals, or have they said when they will begin to do so?

you're confusing two different things.. lossyness and resolution. Everyone knows all broadcasters use Mpeg-2, Mpeg4. What's happening here with dish network is that they are using the same compression settings but with a lower resolution to produce streams with lower bandwidth. It's garbage...

can this receive c-band?

I see that this is a good deal from all the posts. But I'm wondering if there are any differences between FTA receivers.. I'm reading through the FTA forum for answers.. thanks, k
