    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Having now had the Blockbuster@Home for 3 weeks now I must say I am happy. Turnaround for the movies shipped, although not as fast as Netflix (usually 3 to 4 day turnaround versus Blockbuster 5 to 6 day turnaround) is still acceptable. Their rental selections are better and new movies are...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Now Cablevision has joined the feud. Fox-Cablevision Dispute May Obstruct Customers May force government intervention. I really don't see how a company (Fox) that makes revenues from commercials would want to eliminate viewers? That's like a magazine cutting back on subscribers. You...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    I go to the Yahoo movies DVD site every week or so and check out what's new because I agree new movies are hard to find on the Netflix site. I recently got the network adapter cable for my Wii and stream a lot of old stuff directly to my TV through Netflix. It's great. Can't believe anyone...

    922 = worst piece of junk ever

    This is nice to know. My contract with Dish is over and I was thinking about bargaining an upgrade to the 922 with them but I think I will wait. I'm perfectly happy with my 722.

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    I really, really miss my Monster HD and Rave HD. I would gladly give up all the so called "new" channels to have those two back.

    DVR phone connection short

    This is really strange. A few days ago all the phones in my house quit working. Called the phone company they came out and thoroughly checked all my wiring and finally figured out the problem was my 722 receiver. Sure enough, when the line was unplugged, all the phones started working, when...

    Poll: How much HD PPV do you buy each Month from DishNetwork?

    I might purchase a few if they would lower their prices to say $1.99.

    HDMI cable with 722 install

    The company that installed my dish tried to sell me an HDMI cable for $50. I already had a couple from monoprice.com so I turned them down. Upon further inquiry the $50 cable they were trying to sell me was the same $8 cable I got from monoprice.com. What a markup.

    LIP sync and other sound problems

    I have experienced this problem a lot on my 722. Happens on quite a few channels including HBO. Very annoying.

    Checked and thats the way it's set up.

    No OTA signal with 722

    But that won't allow me to record anything through the DVR, which was the whole point in getting it.

    No OTA signal with 722

    Ran the scan. It picked up all the local channels on the scan but won't allow me to add them because it won't lock any channel in.

    No OTA signal with 722

    Today I hooked up an OTA antenna and attached it to my 722 receiver but it reads 0 signal strength on all local channels and won't lock in. It's not the antenna because when I hook it up directly to the TV I get an excellent picture. What's going on?

    Dumb antenna question

    Excuse me for asking a really dumb question but I just bought a channel master 4221 and having no experience with antennas I don't know which is the front and which is the back. I'm assuming the mesh goes to the front and the bow ties are in the rear but I want to make sure. I don't want to aim...

    VIP722 - HDMI cable included?

    When I called for my installation they tried to sell me an HDMI cable for $50. I laughed and said I already had several. Upon more quizing I found out they got their HDMI cables from monoprice.com, the same as I do. $50 for a $10 cable. What a rip off. HDMI cables used to be expensive. Now they...

    Tipping Installers

    My 2 installers showed up right on time and spent almost 3 hours setting up my new install a couple of weeks ago. They ran all new cable (left my existing for use with an OTA antenna) and ran a phone wire down with the cable so I could hook up the phone line later. I thought they did a great job...

    Imus to be on RFD-TV, should Dish Network/Rotten Rupert be concerned?

    He was fired for not being politically correct. What's the big deal? Of course I never listened to him before and have no desire to listen to him in the future.

    Any code for Olevia yet?

    So it looks like I'm basically screwed until Olevia releases a code. Because I have browsed the code finder until my fingers were worn out and it could never find the code.
