Granted, my mistake. Any way you slice it; several channels that used to be in HD are HD no longer and additional channels that could be provided to Dish customers in HD, i.e. ESPNU, aren't. This has to be one of the longest running disputes with one of the country's biggest entertainment...

The post was initiated by my curiosity of any hope in Dish resolving its dispute with ABC the parent company of ESPN, Disney, et al. It has, I think, been three years. Three months is nothing. I understand your confusion, but I think the three years estimated time is correct for the ongoing...

Is there any hope that this dispute will ever get worked out in my lifetime? (only half kidding) What has it been now, three years? Seriously, come to terms already. The fact that this dispute has lasted for as long as it has must be discouraging to the ABC watchers out there; plus the Big 10...

I wish I could 'like' this about a billion more times. Payback for the annoying first step in any service call to any provider of Internet, pay TV, etc. Yeah, how 'bout you guys try that first before saying it's down? Nice.

I've been scouring the Uplinks to see if Dish was sending down signal for the B10 Network. How is it possible that Dish can do that and no Uplink traffic is generated? Obviously not complaining...just curious.

These are actual solutions...in fact, better than a CableCard. When one network or another turns on the DRM, you're free to move the recordings to your Server and watch that programming on any TV in your house. With a CableCard 'solution' if DRM is turned on, you can only watch that recording on...

That and *when* will it become available?

Do any Dish HD receivers have the capability to have channels changed using USB, ethernet, or firewire? I know that DirecTV allows control over the firewire port, but does Dish offer any similar capability? I've been looking for awhile now and haven't found any definitive answers. Thank you in...

OK, it's been almost a week and July 1 is nearly upon us. When is Nebraska getting the Big 10 Network as part of a core programming package? Please... Ah, Thank you. :)

Is it possible to suppress the channel information banner from being displayed when changing channels on Dish STBs, or turn it off altogether? I figured if it were possible at all, someone here would know the answer. :) Thank you, TC

We've been having the rebooting issue that I've been reading about here and elsewhere. My wife has noticed that the reset seems to happen when watching or changing channels to an OTA station. Sooo...not sure if that's the experience of others, but it's been ours. Would rather not replace this...

OK, I *think* I have just two more questions: 1. How much would I be charged for the fourth receiver? I found a list price of $200, but retailers sell it for closer to $120 and if it will be $200 from Dish, can I just buy it on my own and have it sitting there waiting for the technician to...

Thanks for the responses, all. What is mirroring? Using different outputs from the receiver to feed two TVs? I've been a customer for a while. We began service in 2007 (?). I know for certain that we are out of the two-year commitment that we entered into at the time of the installation. I...

When we initially were installed for Dish we had two HDTVs. Our install included a Dish 1000.2 and we had a VIP222 and a VIP722 setup. We now own four HDTVs and I would like to be able to take advantage of the picture quality on all of the TVs as opposed to just two. My thought is to dump my...

Found my own answer this morning. It is as I surmised in the OP: $69.95 + $9.95 + $2.54 (x2) = $84.98 before taxes. The only caveat was that the CSR stated that a technician would need to come out to 'install' the service. I want the two cablecards to install them in either a Ceton InfiniTV or...
