So, if what you say is true (not questioning you...just a statement), then Dish basically is false advertising. When you order, it tells you what you can receive. It listed both CSN stations. The CSR and her supervisor both confirmed the Dish computer says the same thing. Further, MLB states...

Ok...I know Dish for TV; DirectTV for sports. I subscribe to the Multi-Sports package. According to both Dish & MLB, I live in an area authorized as "home" by Dodgers, Angels, Athletics, Giants, Diamondbacks and Padres. I was able to watch the Dodgers game this am. However, this afternoon I...

Try AVS's LCD Forum. Search for your TV model and "calibration". Many folks post their settings...give some of them a shot. I did so with both my Plasma and LCD and got pretty good results.

I wish that was always the case. I have a 612 that died Sunday. They shipped the replacement 2nd day air. I guess they figured my bedroom 211K would hold me over. But then the 211K wouldn't change channels after a days use. I had to reboot to get it to "take". Like the OP I am a new...

I was venting...but my world was not ending. I just find it annoying that a new customer would be subjected to all of this. I just moved the 211K downstairs until my shipment arrives I did ask for a 722...but since I wanted HD for my second TV E* "selected" the 612 as my primary receiver. I...

I just switched to E* and in one week I am not a happy camper. It all boils down to the 612 they provided. Within a day the box would simply reboot on it's own (well vented area so it's not heat). I got 2 or 3 reboots with 24 hours before I called. Did the "unplug reset box" dance. No...

In the release notes (I believe) it said you could not use the "play" on the screen while the download is in progress. However, you could use the "play" button on your remote and it would start. I just highlighted the download in My Playlist then hit the remote play button and it began playing.

A Program called DIRECTV2PC is in a very limited beta testing at this time. No time frame as to when the beta will be completed. You can network your DVR to your PC and play videos/pictures/music from your PC through your DVR..

In regards to your install time....DirectTV's big push is NFL Sunday Ticket right now. I recall seeing this last year...the closer to the beginning of the season...the longer the install lead times.

I downloaded via the Directtv.com site...took about 2 1/4 hrs. (10K dwnload speed). Phelps' 8th took priority, but from what I saw/heard it was outstanding. No playback problems whatsoever (1080p TV). For those without access to the DBSTalk site: If you try to watch it while it downloads the...

Try Dishpointer... you can get it down to your address.

SWM technology puts all the signal in one wire. After installing the SWM, the single coax goes into Tuner 1 input. The software in the box does the rest. I recently installed one (took about 15 minutes). I got mine from Solid Signal for $140 plus shipping. Here is some good info on...

Bear in mind that the sats with an (S) ...i.e. 99(s) and 103(s) are spot beams which may or may not apply to your location. The (c) is "conus" or continental US...those are ones that are generally most important.

I just installed this today....and it works like a charm! I had problems with my router and my cable/VOIP modem communicating ...but once I resolved that I had a "congratulations" screen in less than a minute!
