Don't think you will have a problem - the internet feed is separate from the TV feeds according to my installer

I just changed over last weekend from DISH - other than some occasional pixelation the pictures are to my eye, pretty similar. I'm in Michigan and pretty far from the VRAD but so far, so good. Some folks complain about the lack of DVR space (just 80 hours of HD) but with the enormous amount of...

I'm voting with my feet. I have a 612, a 722 a 622 and a 508 with AE. I've been with dish since 2000. The fees and the continuing drama with Disney has finally pushed me over the edge. Going to Uverse on 8/8. Every time there's been an issue I've had to go to ceo@dishnetwork.com to get it...

They are in the process of figuring out how to add them only to 61.5 in order to generate large volumes of upgrade requests....

My installer argued with me over the phone about it. He claimed there was no way that DISH would add new HD and not put it on the 61.5. I printed out the sheet and he was still obstinate. He then proceeded to make a few calls and sheepishly admitted that I was right. He then proceeded to...

So, I'm in the Detroit DMA. I have a dish 500+ and a wing pointing to 61.5. The guy is coming out on Tuesday to fix my issues. What is he supposed to be doing? Repointing my 61.5 to 129? or 72.7? or what? Will I no longer see the 118? I don't subscribe to any internationals.

I'm in Detroit but I have a 500+ and a 61.5 Dish setup. My guess is that I'll need something pointed at 129 if I want this channel...sucks to be me.

I would really appreciate it if it were also able to stream this either wireless or through the existing home wiring....

Hey, while not necessarily a "Dish fan" I am a Dish subscriber. That being said, I sincerely hope that Directv hits its goals. Competitive pressure is good and so is choice. Satellite TV is a utility. I've never really understood the whole partisanship thing. If I decide I can't live...

yep you are right they don't call them "metal" any more but that's how they started - just a slight case of the brain lock...

Not that I'm aware. Dish now requires one of the "metal" packages that includes the SD channels. Sorry

More HD is good. Don't particularly care for the channel myself, but lots of people that I know and love do so more power to 'em. Rather have Cinemax HD and the RSN's myself but this is just one more addition to the scales that will eventually push it past the tipping point where all of the...

HBO is a must. If it is gone, then so am I - no question. We lived in a condo complex is the nineties that only had Showtime and the Movie channel on their proprietary system. It was a miserable experience and won't be repeated. I would consider it a breach of contract between myself and...

Quick reply - ATSC is the digital broadcast standard that includes HDTV - NTSC is generally speaking the existing broadcast standard - The 622 can receive ATSC standards off the air but can't receive the NTSC signals - most of the non-hd boxes can receive local broadcast NTSC signals. The early...

uhh, Cinemax?
