    VIP612 creates DNS traffic

    Ok so I asked Dish about this and here is first reply: Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Reaching out to that domain is by design and we are researching the volume of traffic to determine if that too is by design. Once we have the results of the test I will contact you via...

    Spyware infection on my computer. Some Dish online retailer is up to no good!

    Almost looks like your Windows hosts file has been altered. It works like a DNS server and can direct you to wrong website even if you type correct address to address bar. You can check that file yourself. More info below... Hosts (file) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    DISH Network statement on Net Neutrality

    As a content provider and system operator myself I worry that when government gets involved in regulating Internet they may as well control what content you can have and who can register and lease domain names. This has been going on in Europe for long time and we Americans have enjoyed freedom...

    There is one limitation. Normal equipment installed here is two 2.5ft antennas; one pointing to 110 and other with two LNBs 119/129. This setup is NOT 6ft antenna system as I have and you need that to get 129 conus. HD on 129 is delivered to Alaska in spotbeam. My point is why not sell service...

    Have you called Dish and requested Platinum HD? I called they said they cannot give it to me because I live in AK. However, I have been able to watch free previews with 6ft antenna. Does not make sense.

    New To Dish Networks,Indian User.

    Look international packages at DISH Satellite TV - $24.99 & HD Free For Life - Why Pay More? and see if they have package that contains channels you like. To install yourself, you will need Dish 1000+ LNBF capable to receive signal from 118.7 and 119 and switch DP34 that combine those...

    VIP 612 question.

    Yes, you can record 2 shows HD and even third can be recorded at the same time if received over OTA. You can also watch one of these channels while you record it or watch previously recorded program from HDD at the same. I have good VIP 612 receiver but some boxes have serious problems. :(
