    Public Access TV Channels???

    Public Access TV Channels???

    I know it's confusing, but just consider the latest impact upon Sirius/XM merger and associated mandates; a percentage of spectrum must be inline and defined as education/public interest... consider it as a PSA (Public Service Announcement). Dish, to be considered a good citizen, must provide a...

    Public Access TV Channels???

    A percentage of spectrum must be allocated/dedicated to PACs (Public Access Channels); via FCC mandates. You may not charge for carriage of a Public Access Channel... That would defeat the purpose of PACs. In all actuality, it's just the opposite... Dish must pay to carry the PAC channels to...

    Olympics PQ

    If the OTA is multicasting, broadcasting more than one channel (i.e., 6.1, 6.2, 6.3), it poses compression issues (as well as atmospheric conditions), but will say... OTA is my preferable Olympic feed over SAT; PQ is crisper, sharper, with little to no lag (blur) or pix...

    Locals over antenna - how to see program info?

    The EPG matter is under current FCC consideration/investigation; intentional blockage of PSIP data stream content (program name, program description, station schedule — embedded in the DTV OTA signal)... Hopefully, the matter will be addressed soon.

    Still Thinking DBS Merger? Again, Don't Count on It Monday, August 11, 2008 (SkyReport) There are still lingering suggestions that the nation's two DBS platforms - DISH Network and DIRECTV - could pursue a merger. And there are more voices who say a combination of small dish companies...

    Dish Network in Baja Mexico

    Todos Santos, Baja, we have DirecTV-Latin American, in our villa, as do all our ex-pat neighbors — for the simple reason, the last thing you want to do is break the law down in Mexico, (Dish logo or blank). The rumors of police in Mexico being corrupt, are true, in most cases. Dish does not...

    Premium VS Voom Poll

    Spatch, The poll indicates Voom was viable (as the poll indicates approximately 50/50)... Why not consider a new poll down the line that facilitates the option for 'both', as Dish had the bandwidth all along...? p.s., Don't get sucked in by flamers! ;) I know you're well beyond that...

    HammerDown, I haven't tried the VODs in a while, as I found the PQ pretty bad on my 47" 1080p set (I'm an HD Only client). Have you experimented with other, so called 'On Demand' feeds'? And another question, are these actually streamed to the drive, as 'On-Demand' requests? If so, that's...

    Dish Network to offer Interactive Olympics

    Dish Network to offer Interactive Olympics

    Very, very true... they should have thought of that since an estimated 40% of Dish clients are HD. They could have had a Channel 100HD... as I'm an HD Only client. Good concept, dmendenjr! Sometimes its difficult to see the forest through the trees...

    My Own Olympic Channel Guide (if anyone cares)

    Thanks! Don't forget NBC's website for video feeds and stats (Mac users, you'll have to download 'MS Silverlight®' codec; the site will prompt you when you select to play a particular video — this will happen only once - well worth the effort!)... video is very crisp, sharp, and true to detail...

    The dial-out should only apply to PPV. I'd call in, at this point... Understand, they can reset your 722 remotely, but at times, you may lose aspects; how you've taught your 722 to record and behave, through their remote reset... Did you confirm 'content time' of the VOD program?

    129 Dropouts, Low sig level

    My re-point resolved my 'Signal Loss Error Code 002'. Others are reporting similar. levibluewa resides in the Pacific NW and is, unfortunately, residing on the edge of 129's present, low power footprint. The SAT's movement, plays hell with his reception. :(

    Olympic Opening Day - Excellent HD but no DVR on Ch 655!

    Ditto... personally, I believe NBC ruined the opening — with their overtly excessive breaks, and selfish network promos. Wish I could see it, completely, and uninterrupted, as that was simply spectacular, amazing — the choreography and the 1/4 mile floor mounted LCD, etc; stellar!!! But with...

    129 Dropouts, Low sig level

    Yes, I would ask for a re-point... make sure its gratis, as 129 is sick (12 missing solar panels, unstable orbit; has to be repositioned, approximately 2x per hour). When the field tech arrives, confirm trip-ticket is at Dish's expense. If not, have it cleared prior to work. Its tough on the...

    It was explained to me, by S-TSR, it takes about 30 to 40 seconds for the STB to query the 1080p monitor via the STB, and call Dish for authorization. Paramount: STB: MUST BE USING HDMi & CONNECTED TO A PHONE LINE; Make sure no one is on the phone when you request the film!!!. I've yet, and...
