I for one came back to Dish when the Turbo package became available. I don't own a SD tv anymore and the Turbo package was perfect. If Dish does away with it, they better damn well honor my two year commitment that I made to them without forcing me to switch to another, more expensive package...

Well said! I may be in the minority here, but I'm happy with my Turbo. The price I pay sure beats the hell out of what I was paying for cable (programming and equipment). Who cares if I don't get some of the stations that people with SD + $10 HD fee get, you know what, I watch too much TV as...

I thought the app only worked on Wi-fi? Is there something you'd like to share with us?

I must be the only one who thinks Comcast HD was of equal or better quality. Don't give me bit rates or any other mumbo jumbo, it just looked better. Some things to consider: IMO Comcast DVR sucks compared to the 722, I've had both. The 722 is solid, no freezing, much more intuitive...

I agree. If Dish wants to make their Turbo customers happy, just add the SD and HD versions. I don't see any difference as this is how they added Comedy, Spike and CMT. SD versions were added, and then lo and behold, they added the HD versions.

It's not that straight forward. I'm in the Boston market and my Rsn's are not on full time. For example, NESN which carries the Red Sox and Bruins are only on the air for pregame and gametime in HD. If you like their other programming you're limited to the SD version. NESN is HD full time on...

It was in my inbox before I left the website, just seconds!

I just submitted my email and got an immediate response with a link to sign up.

Ya, I just really don't want 2 dishes on the roof.

Thanks for the link to that article Scott posted. As far as future DMA's being added, it only said that there will be future adds to the initial list. Does anyone have any info on when and what markets will be added? I'm in the Boston DMA and dying to switch back to Dish, just waiting until...

I've had the same problem, what a joke. First off you can't look at any promotions for your address on their website until you set up an online account. Trouble is I didn't have my account # so had to wait for next bill to come. So I wait until then, and then set up the online account, no...

My box has done this on and off since the day I got it. Its really frustrating. My box doesn't always catch the signal from the remote because of its location, so you have to aim the remote just right. So before you realize its actually the lag you might have punched in several commands...

Here is a great wikipedia link for the Motorola box (6412) and the remote. Use the volume lock section to set the remote to control your receiver instead of your TV. There's also a lot of other useful tips for other functions as well. Saved me when I switched from dish to comcast. Hope it...

Be careful if you are looking for a box to buy on ebay. As i understand it, Comcast boxes can not be purchased, only leased through them. So if you are buying one, it might be stolen.

No problem with the audio dropping out in central Massachusetts. The only complaint I have with CBS is that the audio intermittently switches between dolby and dolby 5.1, usually around the commercial breaks. More annoying than anything. So glad I wasn't losing audio during the Patriots game...
