    Former Exec Sues Dish Network

    People like her need to grow the heck up. I hate people calling out discrimination in situations like this. There are things you can do WAY before actions like these are needed. Most companies already have certain people within assigned to help people claiming discrimination. There are other...

    NBR Dish Pass - Something Interesting

    Um, it has nothing to do with Dish Pass... :) When you set a timer you can go to options and set it to start early and or end late. It defaults to 1 min early and 3 min late.

    Picture getting worse...

    Well, I looked at the pictures and the only one it looks kinda like is the aliasing. Atm I am really thinking it is over compression. I just got a dvd burner yesterday and have burned a couple movie backups. I burned a LOTR movie and it had 50.2% compression. It went from around 8gb to...

    I dunno about that either. I WAS having signal problems but have since had a tech come out to fix those issues. Atm, the lowest signal str. on any transponder is 94 and the highest is 105.

    Just the 522. Atm I am in single mode so I never know which tuner I am on but I THINK it does it both.

    Picture getting worse...

    Well, I cant be 100% sure but I am thinking in this case it isnt the tv. The main reason I think that is because the pixilation is worse of diff channels. Its not like its one steady stream of bad pixilation. If that makes sense :)

    Picture getting worse...

    Ok, I got Dish installed on the 22nd of Dec and at first the picture was awesome accept for some normal garbage from using coax instead of s-video. Over the next week or so it seemed to slowly decrease in quality to the point that I noticed it on most everything I was watching. Now, the picture...

    New DISH Player-DVR 625 Makes Hit Movies Available to Satellite TV Customers

    Kinda lame, Comcast came out with that almost 1 month ago and its a free service for ALL customers with digital cable. You dont need a special box to play anything. I got my own taste of it just before I switched to Dish. It was really nice and actually made me think twice before leaving...

    522 Locking up

    Yeah, I can see it now... They introduce the DVR 530. It is able to record in mpeg 4, has 300 hours of recording, and does HD. Now the bugs will be that it can only record in mpeg 2, only has 100 hours of record time, and cant do HD. But hey, at least wont have the bugs of the 522. :)

    522 Locking up

    LMAO!! Now thats funny because one of the techs from Dish told me to actually DO that. It locked while I was on the phone with em and they told me to hold the power button down. I know the kinda problems that can come from doing that so I just said uh huh and pretended like I was doing...
