    Hello DIRT Team, I would like to schedule a Super Joey install for this weekend. TommyF already took my info and sent me pricing, but I don't think he is online today. Thanks!

    *Updated* Super Joey Upgrades

    The HWS has been great, but a couple of extra tuners could make things even better. Please PM me. Thanks! Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Hopper Upgrades

    Hi. I am out of contract and would like a PM to discuss upgrading from 2 722s to a HWS with OTA and 1 Joey. Thanks! -Mike

    30th Anniversary promo ending

    I was told 12 more months of free HD Platinum Pack or 6 months of HBO, Starz, or Cinemax for half-price. A 24-month commitment is required in either case.

    Who is not interested in Prime Time Anytime?

    Because I won't get around to watching it within 8 days, so I'll be manually saving every week. Why not automate the process somehow? Others here have mentioned having an auto-save feature for shows recorded via PTAT, but setting a timer makes a lot more sense because a)That's what customers...

    Who is not interested in Prime Time Anytime?

    In my case, there is no "if". I won't get to it within 8 days, and every week I'll have to either manually save certain PT shows, or occupy another tuner with those timers. The whole point of timers is to make manual intervention unnecessary, so hopefully Dish will make timers PTAT-aware in...

    Thanks! Hopefully Dish will look into ways to make the timers cooperate with PTAT in order to prevent redundant tuner usage.

    Who is not interested in Prime Time Anytime?

    Forgive me if this was already covered, but two issues are still unclear to me... If PTAT is disabled, is the 3rd tuner then available for standard timers to use? If PTAT is enabled and you also have a timer set to record a prime-time network show, will that timer still use another tuner? If...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    LOL... a sales rep did the same thing at a data center where I used to work! It took us hours to get everything back to normal.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Good riddance Rupert As far as I'm concerned, Dish can discontinue carriage of all Fox-owned networks and reduce my bill by $5-$10 per month. I can get my local affiliate OTA, and frankly the programming quality has gone downhill on NatGeo. Don't care about Fox Business, Fox Movie Classics...

    Press release from DISH

    I don't speak Spanish, Portuguese, German, or Steve Martin, but I understood all of it. :D Noelliniz kutlu olsun!

    HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE CHANGED OVER TO THE DISH FROM DTV?

    I was a D* sub for 5 years and loved my TiVos. When the time came to upgrade to HD, they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg for what I felt was an inferior DVR platform. The lack of DLB alone was unacceptable. I've been a Dish customer for almost 2 years now, and the 722's do everything I...

    Timers

    Thanks for the tip MikeD! I don't have a wing dish, and until I read this I had just assumed that the St. Louis HD locals were eliminated from 118.7 CONUS when they put them on the 129 spotbeam. I should have checked The List. :o Seems odd to have them on 3 sats. -OD

    Timers

    I just remembered something. My SAT HD locals were moved from 118.7 to 129 at the end of May. A few weeks later as I was catching-up with my backlog of recorded show, I noticed I was missing a few season finales of network shows, like Law and Order that should have recorded OTA...

    Timers

    Count me as well. 722 in single mode, St. Louis DMA. The timers look normal when you first set them up, but after awhile all upcoming episodes disappear from the record list. The only OTA channel with a working timer is PBS. I've deleted and recreated the timers a few times with the exact...
