What some people don't realize is that there is no committed source for HD football (sawker) in the US. To say that this channel shouldn't be added is like saying that the NFL shouldn't have their games in HD. The reason I say this is because there are millions of consumers in the US, from other...

I wanted to switch to all HD after Fox Soccer Channel turns on it's HD channel. After reading this thread, it appears that an HD only package will only be available until Feb. 1?

I hate to say it, but I hope ESPN takes the rights in the US, and puts the games on ESPN and ESPN 2. I don't really know if that would happen, but at least those channels are more accessible.

I assume the sound will be true 5.1 as well?

This is a software problem that has been talked about on another thread. I don't have the link, but search through the pages and you will find it. You don't have to reboot, just press the format button to get the screen back tot he size you wish.

I have the same problem as the rest of you. TV2 has formatted to show Letterbox, and the TV1 picture is a shrunken picture in the corner. However, I have a 622 receiver. Dish barely fixed the FF bug and now this. I wish they would stop screwing with their software and not promise the moon until...

I hope they are working on it. I trust they are. I also have no idea what "Dish is watching us" means. That is what some people have said about this. However, I don't see how Dish screwing with the FF button can enable them to watch us. Other than it forces us to rethink how we use the DVR on...

I was wondering the exact same thing. If the FF Scan doesn't stop right were it is supposed to, then technically it is different then Tivo. I did notice that ESPN HD is unaffected by the bug.

Can you elaborate on this? Scott is mum on the subject. The word is that Dish is "watching us". To me, if they don't fix this bug, it renders the DVR useless and I will jump ship to prove a point. Oddly, when I have watched Euro 2008, the FF Scan bug was non-existent. However, everything else is...

It appears my FF problem is only on tuner 2. Tuner 1 seems to be working fine. In the past when software updates caused problems, Sat Guys bitched about it here, and a few days later the bug was cleared up. Does anyone know how we can put the pressure on Dish?

I have this exact same problem. I had no idea an update was coming, but when my program would skip ahead, I knew Dish must have tweaked something. It happens for me when I watch my recorded programs, or live TV that isn't quite "live". When I press the forward scan button, then play, the program...

We have the same problem in Salt Lake City. No ABC HD. Thankfully I have an OTA that picks up ABC HD withouth a problem. However, it stinks for people who rely on E*soley for their locals. SLC was in the first batch of cities to be rolled in years ago when HD LILs were first launched. Does...

I am very excited for the CL Final in HD. I am sorry, I should have been quicker, I normally am. I was thinking you meant a call screener for Dish for some reason. While Bo Snerdley is one of my heroes, I am not him, although I am named after him. And to think I am a Rush 24/7 subscriber and I...

Thanks for the info, this saves me a lot of work. It looks like I will stick with *E and hope that FSC switches to an HD feed and that *E adds it to it's HD package. Then I can drop the AT-250 and keep Setanta. No, I am not a call screener. Is there a joke that I missed?
