    Dish Online

    Yeah, that doesn't really seem to make it worth while yet. With having a direct internet connection, you'd think that E* would be able to offer an "on demand" service similar to cable. Maybe one day they'll be there. I don't purchase too many ppv movies and if I do, I can use my ps3 now as...

    Dish Online

    So, i have yet to hook up my 622 online. I am thinking of purchasing a cheap wireless router and trying to get it online using the wireless router as an access point. Has anyone had any luck in doing this? What type of wireless router have you used? Also, what are the major benefits in...

    NESN HD Uplinked!!!

    So the NESN HD Feed of the Bruins game today was scheduled 30 minutes off. They must of just realized the error and flipped the switch on at about 1:15PM to the HD feed but no audio...I am grateful to be able to watch the game in HD but is really that tough to get right??

    Note on Providence RI Locals

    I'm not at home now but will check the signal strength for transponders when I get home. I know that they sent me out a DP 301 and my existing box was a DP 301. I checked the back and they have the same model numbers as well. I also just checked the "My Equipment" tab in my account and it...

    Note on Providence RI Locals

    I received a post card from dish a couple weeks ago informing me of this. They sent me out a new receiver DP 301 and it seems to be the exact same thing that I already have. I'm wondering if they messed up or if there is a difference in the box that's internal? Any thoughts?

    HomePlug built into the 622, How cool is that?

    Hey Everyone, I'm just stumbling across this and want to try it out ASAP...I have a wireless internet using a netgear wireless router. Will something like this work for me? I'm confused about the USB connection on this device (link below), do all of these have an ethernet connection on them...

    New HD on DishNetwork? "Soon" might be right around the corner...

    Come on POOP_Master, did you really think there was a channel called "CHINESE CLIMATE HD" or "CHESS HD"?? If so, then I find it hard to believe you have anything to do with Technology and/or Computer Programming. You have to be joking with us! and if not, then I don't know what to tell you...

    Dish On Demand

    thanks, appreciate the info. I did some more digging on D* VOD service and it seems OK. I guess you have to full record a show to your DVR before you can watch it which some are saying, depending on the length of the movie/show, takes a while. I just brought it up since I came over from...

    Dish On Demand

    D* is currently Beta testing something exactly like this and is available to select subs. I can find the link if you'd like, but above is an incorrect statement.
