Hi again, WHat is backfeeding the antennae? Dave

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Now on to important matters. I'm unable to access any of my Dish function features on my secondary TV using either of my two Dish Remote control 2. All TV functions(power,volume,channel changes,etc work), but none of my DIsh features(power, DVR, fast...

Thanks for the quick response. I connected the device, followed the onscreen instructions, the receiver rebooted itself, but I see no evidence(increased recording time, etc.) of the external drive in the menu options. How do I know if the installation was successful? Thanks, Dave

Hi, Would I be able to use an external hard drive as additional video storage if I have the VIP-722 DVR? Thanks, Dave

I made the switch to the Welcome Package and, while I get the HD local channels( example, channel 10 and channel 10HD), I don't get an HD picture with the channel. I get the black bars on the side. HD sample channels like the Sony Movie Channel are in full HD. Is there a reason for this?

Hi, I currently have the America's Top200 package with the Blockbuster@Home 1 disc deals and DVR service. I have an HDDVR receiver. My hours at work were cut in half and I was wondering if I would be able to change my package to the Welcome package? If so, could I still pay the $10.00 a...

Hi, Is AMC HD available on any of the Dish America HD packages? Thanks, Dave

I wonder if the document isn't yet posted on the Dish website because they are still trying to negotiate deals on some of the HD channels? I was "chatting" with a Dish CSR on their asking and was inquiring about whether the MSNBC HD channel was part of the Team Silver package. She confirmed...

Installer came by on time and had the job done in about an hour and a half. All HD channels present and accounted for. Thanks to everyone in this forum for the advice. DAve

Can other people also confirm this? I just want to make sure it's not a fluke. I was about to change my Dish service from America's Top 200 to Dish America Silver, but will reconsider if MSNBC is not part of the package. Is it part of the Dish America Gold package? Also, if you get any of the...

If you are getting one of the HD Standalone Packages such as Dish America Silver, is there an additional charge to get the local channels(whether they are in HD or now)? Davae

I just got off the phone with a CSR and said upfront that I needed the 1000.4 dish. We still ran a series of tests and jumped through hoops to establish that I wasn't getting any of the missing HD channels. A technician is coming by tomorrow to install the new dish. Hopefully all will go well...

The CSR I spoke with yesterday pretty much said that I was unable to get these channels because I was on the Eastern Arc. (I live Southeast of Boston, MA) It seems like they just wanted to avoid having to come down and install an extra dish.

I did some more research about the HD channels I'm missing. In addition to the HD channels I'm missing in the Platinum package like Indieplex, Retroplex, Epix 1&2, and Short Films, I'm also missing the HD channels I should be getting with my America's Top 200 channels like BBC America, E...

Hi Chris, Do you have the Platinum HD package and if so, are you getting the Eix 1&2, Retroplex, Indieplex, and Short Film HD channels? Dave
