Much appreciated if someone can check CC on TVJ. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, it seems there is a consensus some TVJ programming has alternate in English audio. That might be useful to DVR and watch a program in English for comprehension, then in Japanese. If it's not asking too much, can those with TVJ in HD turn on captions and verify they can...

I'm a native English speaker, and I'm learning Japanese. While in Japan for a bit, I found watching TV with closed captions on (both in Japanese to be clear) useful for learning. Can I do that with TV Japan on Dish? I want to do this in HD, if that makes any difference. I am not a current...

I don't think they use PSIP data, because may channels don't have data, and some are swapped, a mistake by Dish presumably. I'm comparing to my TV's guide when hooked up to terrestrial. The info must be coming from Dish.

Thanks, Ice, for expanding the list. I could no longer look up the inconsistencies. You included some very new ones, but there are some errors that are years old. If anyone at Dish is reading this, I'd like to see future products use the PSIP data. And give the user some control on which...

My whole point is that I don't want to use the Dish guide info, whether service is active or paused. I want the guide data that is embedded in the OTA signal. Is the hardware incapable of decoding and displaying it? I know it's there, because if I plug the rooftop terrestrial antenna coax into...

I have a 722 with an ATSC adapter. Before I recently paused my service, it seemed like the yellow guide data would get the program guide info from Dish Network, as opposed to OTA. Some channels were swapped and were incorrect, but the main channels were OK. This was confirmed, now that I...

TCM - Turner Classic Movies They just had a run of Hitchcock. Had to watch in SD :(. They show so many great films, in their proper aspect ratios, commercial free. And they don't repeat them for months. TCM Turner Classic Movies

Comcast charges them almost $130 per month for 2 HD DVRs and the list of favorite channels! Since they have 2 HDTVs, it would be not so good to run SD to one. Maybe two solo VIP 612 receivers would be best. Silver has all their channels except Sprout, Retro, DIY for $38/mo +$10 HD for first...

As a longtime Dish customer, I cringe when I visit my parents and witness what Comcast offers, pricing, and their buggy box. I'd like to help them find them the best value as a new Dish Network customer, and I'm looking for some advice. Here's what they want: Watch DVR'd programs in two...
