I just got my cable installed here at the new place because we can't have satellite because we have no balcony or place that is part of our rental agreement/lease. Anyway, when the HD DVR was installed there is a message stating that many Comcast areas will be having the lineups of HDTV changed...

That is right about the disabled. It will only record on TV1 or TV2 and not roll over. So, what I have found after my experiments are: Record Plus enabled: Stays on original TV where program was set to record. Will not roll recording to 2nd tuner if not in use. Record Plus set to TV1: Will...

I just recently came back to DISH Network after almost 2 years of cable. All I can say is first-DISH's receivers have changed! WOW! Second, I have the 625 and have it placed in dual mode. My question: I want to record two programs at one time in this mode. How do I do this without going to TV2...

I had DirecTV installed last week and everything looked fine until last night. The receiver now is sending a terrible signal to the TV. It looks blocky and like there picture is in 256 colors instead of being normal. Is there a copy protection thing happening? I have the HDMI to DVI cable...

Does anybody know what code to put into the Echostar Technology Corp 5.0 IR remote to control the DISHNetwork 40" RPTV? I can't seem to get mine to work. I haven't had to use the one that came with the TV for a long time and the batteries were dead and whan I replaced them, they would not...

I have a DISH 921 for sale for $450 OBO, plus shipping and handling. This receiver is clear of all charges (PPVs) on the smart card. I want to have this sold my Friday, November 19th. The 921 comes with the UHF remote, the 921 unit, and the UHF antenna. If you have any questions or are...

This morning I turned on my 921 and the guide was all whacked out. New font and layout. I thought at first it might just need to be rebooted. Pulled the card and it rebooted. Still the weird guide. I then tried a power-plug reboot. Still the weird guide. I am still at the same version number. I...

The 811 is confirmed as sold. Still waiting on the confirmation of sale for the 6000. Thanks, Wil

I have an 811 for sale. I am asking $150. It has barely been used and is in new condition. I am asking $150 plus shipping. I also have a DISH 6000 with both expansion cards. I will take the best offer on either or both of these that I receive by Saturday, July 24th at 5pm (Indiana-East...

Until DISH decides to add some more HD content at any of their satellite locations, I have decided to drop my package levels. I went down to AT120 and also dropped down to just HBO and Showtime. Are others doing this? -Wil

I just called DISH Network twice to get my service moved (previously, I have always installed my own systems). I am told that the free DISHMover program is actually $50 because I have three receivers (and one of them is the 921). I told them that I would only be taking the 921 with me as I have...

Actually, I found that the Motorola ATA needs the middle or highest setting for bandwidth or it will not dial out properly... On my CISCO one, I did not need to set it as high to save bandwidth. You might try changing this.

I would say my list is: TNT-HD Bravo-HD Starz! HD TMC HD Cinemax HD Encore HD INHD 1 and 2 In that order, too... What would that take? 3 transponders? But by then, there will be a lot more HD out there...

My question is what about those UPN stations that are owned by CBS/Viacom. Why are they not affected? Or are they? I have not had a chance to check to see if my local UPN is affected.
