    VIP722 remote access issues

    Same here. Got in touch, via chat, with a fantastic CSR who wouldn't let it go. We confirmed that my DVR was active and online, even though the remote access account page says that it isn't. I too have been able to use Dish Online and download content. I did a a packet capture on the router...

    Switched to Satellite. Tired of Cable Internet for My Home!!

    Did you happen to run speed tests while you were on cable? It would be interesting to compare your cable internet speed tests with HughesNet -- First 30 days, and HughesNet -- Third Month. I don't know if it is absolutely true or can be proven, but since you have a 30 day money back guarantee...

    HughesNet or WildBlue

    Since I previously posted a negative response to a HughesNet question a few months back, I thought I'd follow up. HughesNet has improved and have fixed some of their speed problems they were having, with the usual caveat that you will not ever see the "up to" speeds they post. Expect to get...

    Help! Hughesnet bandwidth

    Updated Bandwidth Question I hope it's not too late to get into this discussion and ask this question. At the time of these posts, I was sitting fat, dumb and happy, however since May, my speeds have been horrible. I have the business internet plan (used to have the Pro Plus, but ran into...

    HD Locals not likely to come to DISH soon

    My question is what happens in Feb 09 at the DTV final transition? Won't all these DMA HD holdouts acquiesce and allow carriage at that time regardless of other considerations, otherwise it would open up the possibility of national networks being substituted for local affiliate, thus loss of...
