Once again Dish bites the big weenie. This debacle does nothing but reinforce peoples' negative attitudes toward E*. It's beginning to look like only a select few can actually receive the 1080P content and that most home setups don't meeting all the "gotcha" requirements.

So, if I understand this thread so far, the 1080P signal Dish is presenting is NOT compatible with MOST of the existing 1080P sets in the field. Oh how just peachy keen that is. And for the record I have a 1.5 year old Sharp Aquos LCD that supports 1080P and works with my Blu Ray player but NONE...

For all the gleeful Dish bashers, you better read the whole article for the details before you perform your celebration ceremony. The existing contract expires in December and at&t is contractually obligated to send a six month notice. This notice is part of the negotiation dance. This doesn't...

Not seeing this problem at all. I have a 622 and software L5.11. Everything works as it should.

To Agonizing Fury, Bottom line is, yes, they are spying on you. It's legal and there is nothing you can do about it so chill out and get on with your life. There is no such thing as privacy in the 21st century.

Exactly! The VIP 622/722 beat anything Direct has in spades. No competition.:up

Yep, it's called the "human condition". This is what happens when consumerism goes wild. Nothing is enough. Nothing is good enough. Nothing satisfies. What a way to live ones life.:o

Well, it's not just this satellite forum. You see this type of personality disorder in every other forum out there, be it computers, televisions, toasters, or corn flakes. Bitching is their way of life. Their families live a hellish existence too listening to personal attacks and criticisms...

If it's just your word against the CSR you don't have a chance. You need to get things in writing or have some sort of ad material to substantiate your claim. You can yell and be mad till the cows come home but unless you have proof you're out of luck unless some manger or supervisor takes pity...

Sir Arthur C. Clark, noted science fiction author and considered by most to be the man who invented telecommunications satellites in geosynchronous orbits, has died. He was 90 years old. Author Arthur C. Clarke dies - CNN.com I thought it was appropriate to post this thread since we watch...

You obviously don't know what the term recession means in regards to the economy. It's not about the stock market tanking. A recession means the economy has stopped growing and has started to shrink. The economy is still GROWING, not receding. It's growth rate has slowed, that's ALL. We are NOT...

Same here. Techs came out this morning. They seemed very familiar with the issue. The highlights are that the new satellite was supposed to be at 118.7º but wound up at 118.2º. Echostar isn't saying what happened or why. Echostar's suggested workaround is to change the "skew" of the dish and...

According to a Dish tech support rep they have thousands of reports about this issue. A new satellite was moved into position at 118.7º and the local HD channels were moved over to it on or about 4/30/07. I have also lost KTVI and KSDK HD channels and get a signal strength of only 20 or so on...

New to the HD/Satellite world... Just got my vip622 installed. Things seem to be working amazingly well but I do have one minor issue/annoyance. vip622 receiver (version L4.01 software) Sharp Aquos L46D62U LCD TV connected via HDMI. Here's the issue. When turning on the 622 and the TV...
