Seems like a lot of trouble on a daily basis to watch the games you are missing. I would go the DVR route and sling the games to a portable display device. You can watch the games live, record games that you may miss, and avoid the possibility of losing your job if you get caught installing a...

Dish needs to add a list of "external hard drives that are or are not compatible with their receivers" to this page. I recently purchased the Samsung Story 1TB drive and spent 1 hour with technical support trying to recognize and format the drive only to find out that the drive is not...

I stream Pandora through my Roku box and it automatically logs into my Pandora account. The nice feature with Pandora on Roku is that the screensaver displays the current CD playing along with the cover art and title.

I started with Dish and the AEP package then dropped to AT250 with 2 movie channels and currently have the AT200 package with no movie channels. I recently added the Roku box and joined Netflix. Neflix has been great so far both in streaming quality and speed of DVD shipments. I hope Netflix...

Merry Christmas To All! Happy Holidays to Scott and his family and all the members of Satellite Guys.

I'm not 95 years old and I'm a computer geek working in the IT field. I love technology and have a lot of tech toys but I don't have a DVR. Why? Here are my reasons: 1.) I personally don't watch that much TV. 2.) I refuse to pay all the extra fees for using a DVR. 3.) The quality of TV...

Sounds like goaliebob99 is living up to his name and is currently broadcasting at 430 watts. Will someone please give Bob his meds before he blows a blood vessel. :rant: Seriously, I don't blame you for being upset. If you have been a Dish customer for a while, you should expect QVC-HD...

I had to call to get the other HD channels turned on. I have AT250 w/GoldHD and I receive 110/119/129 satellites. I had to call Dish to have the additional HD channels enabled. I tried to do it online but for some strange reason, I could not access my HD options under my account. :confused...

I agree! Definitely "no thanks" to DISH and a very nice "thank you" to Satellite Guys for notifying us of these changes. I had to establish a chat session with CSR to get my channels enabled. I tried to do it online but my HD options were not available to me for viewing. I could change other...

Vizio tuner issue suggestion I bet you are right on the Vizio tuner issue. Vizio tuners are not very good and there are a lot of issues posted on the internet for problems with the Vizio sets. I wonder if the Vizio tuners are having problems handling MPEG4 compression? IMO, I think...

I mute the loud advertisements I hate the loud commercials so much that I sit with the remote near me and I hit the mute button when they come on. It's always the same commercials that are doing this (Magic Jack, DirectBuy etc.) and it doesn't matter whether it's SD or HD channel. I wouldn't...

Try changing transponder I had the same problem with 129 and I was dropping signal. I thought my satellite dish was out of alignment but I decided to try and change the transponder channel to the strongest signal. I haven't had the problem since. I checked 129 transponder 22 and noticed that...

Trick or Treat! Trick or Treat! The treat is the Sadoun signal meter. The trick is get DISH to provide true HD!

811 P3.35 download received When I arrived home from work today, I was prompted for the P3.35 software upgrade on my 811. :eek: I was real hesitant to upgrade but I figured the picture couldn't get much worse beyond the component wash out. I accepted the download and it took about 20...

Upgrade washed out my picture I got the upgrade on Tuesday and now my picture on my plasma looks like analog TV. :mad: The picture is all washed out and HDNET looks awful. I am running on Component outputs. Thanks Dish Network! I will give Dish Network one week to fix this new problem they...
