According to the DISH Tech Depot there has not been a software update to any of the receivers since 13 March. Are all the receivers perfect now, or is DISH dragging its feet for some reason?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but yesterday I saw (I think I did, but may have been a dream) this channel above the test channel (5710). I clicked and it had some Nicolas Cage movie I had not heard of before, but it said it was free to Starz subscribers. I moved around the menu and...

So, Wednesday, 9 April, or Thursday the 10th is the day for the BIG HD national rollout for DISH with many HD channels? Hey, that is "soon", isn't it? However, I am not going to bet the farm on it. BTW, I liked the podcast.

Well, it's April and no new national HD channels in sight other than those "coming soon" with the new satellite that was launched recently. Its been how many months now since the promise of more national HD channels? My bill went up a couple of months ago and Chuckles spends $711M for some...

I was watching the DIY shows yesterday AM when I switched to another channel I got the SD version instead of the HD as I usually do. When I tried to get the HD version I got a pop-up that said try again and if that doesn't work hold the power button for 10 seconds. I tried getting other HD...

I'm sure this is not the right place to post this, but how long is "Breaking News" breaking news? I see the red letter "Breaking News" banner and it piques my interest right away, but is three days a bit long for any breaking news a la the XM/Sirius DOJ approval? I know whomever is responsible...

Dish Network has a lot of problems on its plate By David Lieberman, USA TODAY NEW YORK — When a just-launched satellite designed to transmit HDTV channels fell short of its orbit on Friday, it looked like a metaphor for several things happening lately at Dish Network (DISH). Shares in the No. 2...

...but I have an allergy to searching. :D After reading all the horror stories about install peeps I was wondering what it takes to become an E* installer? Do you have to submit to a background check, have a drug check, etc.? P.S. Humorous replies will be appreciated, as well as, serious...

...before, but searching the forums is a pain: Was just watching CNN when a black banner with blue letters comes on near the top of the screen briefly that says, "Poor Quality Signal". Is this from E*, CNN, or my TV? It is kind of gloomy here today, but no rain. I hope this is not a bad sign.

Sorry if this has been posted before: Press "TV" button or "VCR" and you get a colorful floating message to push "SAT" to change channels, etc.

Why Did DirecTV Buy ReplayTV?

Anyone have any updated info when the new satellites are going to be launched? I am really getting upset sitting here reading about D* adding new channels left and right.

Sorry if this has been posted, but am having trouble reading the new home page. I guess my old eyes don't like change. Also, it tells me to sign in, but I only sign in to the forums. The home page keeps telling me to sign in to get rid of the ads. Can anyone help?

Just read on the DISH Tech Depot that L4.47 is coming starting Tuesday. So no more L4.46 for anyone.

...picture goes away. Instead of the usual "Please Stand By", or "Technical Difficulties" a blue screen with a message about not calling as they are aware of the problem and working with the provider. The message did not say who not to call. Is this something new from E*, or have I missed...

Sorry if this has posted before, but are all those NBA SD and HD and NHL SD and HD channels that are appearing recently PPV or are they free? Last week I was watching a bunch of NHL games, but there was no mention of having to subscribe. Since then I have locked them out.

Notice that L4.44 is being rolled out for the 622. Anyone have it yet?

Our own Charlie has made the Forbes 400 richest at #27 with a bullet. 27. Charles Ergen, 54, $10.2 billion, Denver, EchoStar Way to go Charlie!!! Raise the rates soon so you can be make it to the Top 20 next year.

Remember when we were asking about E* shipping an HDMI cable with the 622 and other HD boxes? Well, when I got my 622 today I told the tech I didn't need another set of component cables. He told me that's OK since E* only supplies composite cables in the box now due to "cost cutting" and that...

Sorry if this has been posted before. Sony receivers are notorious for being difficult to program with E* remotes, or at least in my experience. I just found out (after 5 months of trying) that if you do a code scan with power "off" you can find the proper code; just the opposite of what E*...

Just lost audio on my 622 thru HDMI. Did reboot and all is well for now. Could this be a temp problem or sign of something worse? I have 4.41.

Why doesn't E* offer a one tuner HD DVR with OTA, or do they and I just can't find it? If not, why not? If I stay with E* after 28 September I would like an HD DVR to replace my 211, but do not want to pay the extra fee for the 2nd tuner.

I love this site and all the info it provides. However, all the scrolling, popping, flashing, blinking ads are screwing up my computer. I keep getting this ad for some sort of crap cleaner and then my browser crashes. Where is this coming from? Also, seem to be getting a lot of spam e-mails...
