    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    I can confirm the issue is still present in L625 on my 722. I lost on of my sons programs yesterday.

    Shared view and wireless adapter for connection?

    If you haven't set up a wireless network before and don't have anyone that can help you set it up, I would highly recommend looking at a HomePlug Powerline adapter. The Netgear XE102 was plug and play for me, with no configuration. I picked it up at Fry's (frys.com) for $39.99. You run one...

    Free VOD from Dish...is there any progress?

    I am watching it right now. Look in "DishOnline" and sort it by "Free". The interface is really bad but it does work.

    DISH FIRST TO OFFER TV SERIES IN 1080P RESOLU

    I just finished downloading The Beast 1080p (I haven't watched it yet). Just over 6 hours. I only have a 1.544 Mbps T1 from a CLEC (Cbeyond). Could Cable/DSL providers be throttling bandwidth? I just wish they would clean up the VOD menus/interface and make it easier to find content!

    Tech Chat Recap 11-10-08

    Does anyone know why the VIP222 will not be able to use the EHD DVR function? Will it eventually be available? I realize because of the overhead with encryption, you may be only allowed to use one tuner to record, but that will be better than nothing.

    Echostar 8 Moving

    I think you will probably see something uplinked to 77 in the Uplink Activity Report before you will be able to watch anything on 77.

    Can you recommend an OTA antenna? Say from Circuit City or Best Buy?

    If you have 6 or 8 hours and all of the stations you want are UHF, you can build your own pretty easily with some supplies from Lowe's, Home Depot, or the local hardware store. Do a google search for Grey-Hoverman Antenna and check out digitalhome.ca/ota/superantenna (I can't post URL's...

    New Eastern Arc DISH Network Install Issue - Local Channels, Buckhead Georgia

    Try running the "Checkswitch" you should see both satellites after that. If you are in the Atlanta DMA, you should get the local 2,5,11, and 46 on Eastern Arc today and 17, 36, 69 in a few days. I am in Atlanta on Eastern Arc for about 3 weeks now.

    Suprise. Dish is giving me Eastern Arc in Atlanta

    New Dish Network Subscriber here. I am very tired of paying Comcast more money for what appears to be less service. Scheduled the Dish install appointment for today between 12-5. Tech showed up about 1:00 pm. He basically said "No line of sight for 110/119. We are going to put you on a new...
