    Loosing NY HD feeds next month

    Just so I'm clear. I have the ny hd locals, I got the waivers and I have a mpeg 4 receiver. Does this mean that I will lose the channels as well. I haven't got any call. Also, will the channels be moved to another number or will they just be gone. Thanks

    Guaranteed in writing from Dish?

    please, who is going to hire a lawyer $$$$$ and take echostar corp to court because their $250-$400 dollar reciever isnt software upgradeable. also the previous post is correct, just because the installer signs it dosent mean its a binding contract between you and dish network. i hate to be...

    First Look - Dish Whole House HD/SD Solution?

    confused will this product be the mpeg 4 solution, will the 811, 921, 942 still work when upgraded to mpeg 4? the way this looks is just to run a cable into it and run a cable out into a hd reciever.

    No 720p support on TV... so now what?

    i'm guessing that it will be downconveted to 480p, that's what mine does, it should say somewhere in your owners manual "720p signals are displayed at 480p". don't worry to much though, it's still a very clear and nice picture. also just because you set the 811 to 1080i dosent mean...

    DISH HDTV question for all members

    to get your picture to fill the screen, hit the page up/page down button on your remote control. this will give you stretch modes for standard definition channels. your hd channels should already fill your screen (except espn hd). if your hd channels are not filling your screen check that the...
