Doogie, There are some pros to the guide on the 722 and 622 in my opinion, but the pros for Direct outweigh them for me. As I said before, the picture quality and full-time RSN are biggies, and the MRV just blows anything Dish has away. With Graves Satellite, they offer the same national...

Hey doogie, I'm in OKC and I just switched from Dish to Direct last weekend, and I love it so far. Went from a 722 and two 622's with Dish to three HR24's and three H24s. I made the switch because of college football and Thunder games on FSSW, and what everyone else is saying about the...

I was just installed on Friday, and it's actually the same on Dish Network. The program guide for Fox News and Fox Business is just wrong, so Dish and Direct don't know that all episodes are not first run. I just programmed my HR-24 to do a manual recording M-F from 4pm-5pm (Central Time) on...

My installer this past Friday took the mast and dish off the roof, but left the mount attached to the shingles, since it was sealed pretty well. They removed the LNB and gave it to me and trashed the dish itself.

Wow compared to Dish it rocks Just switched from Dish on Friday and the PQ on every HD channel is significantly better, but none more so than ESPN. On Dish, it was so compressed and pixelated, but with Direct, it's much better, actually rivaling the networks. This is on a 92" projector so...

Another Dish to Direct switcher Just got my 3 HR-24s and 3 H-24s hooked up on Friday. Love the MRV setup, and the HD picture quality is definitely better than on Dish. The only thing I really miss from Dish is PIP and recording 3 college games at once on one DVR. If I could schedule all my...

I appreciate the replies guys. I went ahead and emailed ceo@echostar.com to ask about getting upgraded to a 1000.2 dish. I did mention that I've had rain-fade issues on 129 that the 1000.2 may help solve. Since my original 18 month contract expired in April, I mentioned that I might be...

Hi, I leased a 622 and a 625 back in October of 2006. I believe I have a Dish 1000, but I'm not real sure. I have a triple-LNB setup and a Wineguard OTA coming into the house currently, and am planning on adding another 622 that I've purchased. I've noticed coming off of the Dish currently...

The second quarter runs through June 30, 2008.

I think a lot of us don't comment about this channel because the thread inevitably degrades into a diatribe by someone blasting it as 'right-wing' propaganda or similar. Face it, whether you agree with their politics or not, Fox News is very popular with high viewership, and many of the same...

Um, it is 'break' instead of 'brake' in this case. ;)

I got UFC 67, 69, and 71, all in HD, so I don't see any reason why they would stop now.

I'm normally not a stickler on grammar and spelling Poke, but since you use the word so often in your posts, I thought I'd throw this out there: it's "have" and not "half", as in, "We'll have to wait and see next week".

Another vote for History Channel.

My CC sometimes will just stop working until I turn them off and then back on again on my 622. They will then work for another hour or two before stopping again. Very strange.
