I chatted with support - told them we were going to cancel service, so they transferred to the Loyalty Dept. Best deal we could get was really nothing - the "standard" $10 credit for 12 mos., Free HD for Life, free Platimum & STARZ (for 12 mos.). We changed to AT 120+, addition of FSN is...

Just checked my channels- still on HD Absolute as far as I can tell, and MAX (1 penny deal which has continued). However I now see $6 extra for locals according to the Dish web site. No STARZ either. DISHHD ABSOLUTE $29.99 DVR Service $6.00 Locals $6.00 - ADDED 2/1

I have a 622..from the android app I can see seemingly do everything minus of course watching anything via sling. I thought it would only work on a 722 so I'm happy with what I can do on my receiver

Interesting I wonder what the formula is for the absolute price reductions. I'm still at $34.99 w/locals, plus $6 DVR fee. About a year ago I called to find out if I could get out of the DVR fee, but they wouldn't budge. I have a 622.

Sale pending...

I purchased this on the forum several months ago in hope of starting to mess with FTA. However, I have had zero time, and probably won't for the forseable future..so putting it back up on the block. It's in very good shape, with remote & manual. I did hook it up to my existing Dish Network...

Tonight was the night to recalibrate the dish. I tried adjusting skew, which yielded just a bit of iimprovement (from 0 on 129 to 5 or so), so then went back to adjusting elevation to tweak..and wound up with the following: 129 TP 17 Anywhere from 18-25 (was 25 when I was calibrating, now...

Yeah that's what I was afraid of... doing Check Switch with no signal on 129 and screwing myself over. I did check the mast for plumb when I first installed, will check again..

Hello everyone, happy 09. I've had a 1000+ for quite some time with no major problems on 129..signal strength usually 15-20, not stellar but not bad. For the past few months it's been dropping very low, to the point where signal is lost. In addition, I noticed 119 dropped to the 60s where...

Panasonic BD35 at Costco for $199, after $90 coupon. Picked up mine tonight; returned my S350 after doing a quick comparison..honestly didn't see any diff on Blu-ray, I think the Panny does a slightly better job upconverting SD DVD..anyway Costco unit includes HDMI cable.

Good information - I have the SD350 but I'm seriously thinking of returning it (I have 2 more weeks) if I can get some more information on Panasonic's BD35 performance. So far on every forum I've seen on the web (been doing a lot of reading lately) in every head-to-head comparison of the BD35...

I also purchased a 350 on Black Friday (actually Thursday @ K-Mart). I've been reading a lot of threads comparing his with the Panasonic BD35, which is now hovering at around the same price as the Sony 350. Most reviews seem to favor the BD35, but it's a mixed bag, because I see a lot of good...

I tried it out, no problems streaming HD content (around 6 Mbps down). PROS Very good HD quality, if you can find content. Convenience. Unlimited streaming CONS Limited HD content SD quality sucks on a large viewer (65" TV for example) I currently have Blockbuster Total Access, and love the...

Had one 622 since just a month or so after it came out, no problems at all.

I've noticed this as well on my 622. Many recorded OTA shows (like Family Guy), audio drops just for a fraction of a second but like every 2-5 seconds, I think when it appears to be working it is just because there isn't any sound and that's when it "drops". It is very annoying. I'm not sure...
