DISH isn't listening DISH promised me ESPNU-HD years ago. By my count there are 21 posts in this thread with over 75 likes about ESPNU-HD. Still, no ESPNU-HD from DISH. DISH isn't listening and it won't happen.

Very nice. I might consider one if my PS3 didn't already handle everything I need.

I know this topic has ventured into other areas, but just to give you guys an update on the OP... The supervisor / QC guy came by and looked at the installation. He said the mounting location was ok, not preferred, but ok. He applied a little more sealant around the mounting points and was...

Not trying to take either side here, but what I understood the QC as wanting was a double line run to the grounding rod. I am no electrician, but I am guessing he means coax and not the ground itself? So that would be less than 20' of actual grounding cable but would consist of about 120' of...

You know I never thought about that Joe, but what you say makes sense. I guess it really depends on the motive of the QC guy. I guess I should explain more about the "tricky" part. Basically there were two issues the 1st installer was worried about. 1: The ground rod is on the opposite end...

He never showed me signal strength. I did sign, probably shouldn't have without doing some more investigation... but it was 9:45 PM. My 6 year old really needed to get to sleep and she couldn't with him there and it was too dark to even inspect the work he did. I hope I don't have any...

UPDATE: Different installer came last night and got everything going. This guy was clearly a sub (personal vehicle, wearing shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, smoking like a freight train), but he got the job done. DECA was still not included, but I knew that would be the case. They are...

FlyingJ: Hey I was at the game and I know it didn't turn out the way you would like, but I couldn't have been more impressed with the Penn State fans, trainers and coaches. I was lucky enough to make my way into the Penn State locker room before the game and hang out near the team before the...

Thank you SC. Hopefully today will be better and I will finally get everything installed. I will keep you updated.

After many years of being a DISH customer I decided to make a switch. I have been really satisfied with DISH and I really like their receivers, but when the issues with ESPN Classic, ESPNU (No HD), etc... continued to pop up it was just too much. My impressions with DirecTv so far haven't...

GOOD. The Weather Channel rarely shows weather.

Thanks for all the help. I have tried to restore it to the local DVR with no luck. It starts the copy process but will never finish. I am going to try the other suggestions and post back my results.

Is there any way of running some type of disk check on an external hard drive using the Vip722 receiver? I have only one football game stored on the external hard drive [Bama 36 - Auburn 0 - :-) ] and it will play until about halftime and then the system just locks up. I would hate to lose...

I just received an email from the General Manager at WAAY - 31 and he said that WAAY should show up in HD on DISH sometime this week. I hope he is right.

According to the DISH web page, it is nothing to worry about. They state they will be ready and not to worry about messages during the tests. You can see the message under DISH News on the home page of the website.
