6 TV locations. Whole home with one Genie 44 & 3 mini clients + one HD-DVR + one regular HD reciever. Total of 8 tuners I believe. I ordered an upgrade of the regular HD receiver up to an HD-DVR for $99.00 They arrived yesterday and all was going well until during authorization it wouldn't...

This all started back when I posted this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/313139-Yeah-I-know-it-s-been-a-while , so I won't re-hash all that. In a nutshell, I called DirectV in early June and signed on for whole house DVR with 6 TV locations. They charged me $234 and shipped...

I signed up for "D" last Thursday June 13 and received the equipment yesterday (Monday the 17th). I still have not even been contacted by an installer. Is this normal?

So I was with Dish for over ten years and hung out in their forum the whole time (thus the over 3000 posts). When I quit them for cable a few years back, it was also around the time Scott removed the Pit (which I see has returned) and I didn't hang around SatGuys much. Anywho, after a few years...

I took the HDD out of my old Dish 622 DVR and want to use it as an external storage device for a TiVo Premiere. Its a 320Gb Western Digital SATA. I put it into a Drive Master 3.5 case and connected it to my computer's USB but Windows XP Dish Management doesn't recognize it nor give me any...

I don't know what the model number is for the Moxi HD DVR that Charter uses but can anyone provide a comparison of the two units. Things like PQ, ease of use, the EPG, recording & DVR features (or faults), external HDD, etc? Thanks.

I was curious if I can 2 more usb ports to our PS3 (it only has 2)? We now use 2 Logitech wireless controllers which each require a receiver module in the USB port and I want to add 2 more. I know I could use the Sony controllers (without needing a usb) but our original is broken and I don't...

Without going into my whole 10+ year history with Dish that led me to this point (many of you vets have endured my complaints too many times:)), I just wanted to announce that I have finally left Dish Network after having been an AEP + all HD customer most of my tenure. Through all my...

I can't get a straight answer from customer service. I know the receiver has a SATA port for an external HDD but I don't know if I can use it, if they have to activate it or if I can somehow activate it myself. Besides being able to add additional storage, I'd like to be able to transfer...

Probably a silly question but I try to subject myself to a dose of humiliation every so often. @font-face { font-family: Cambria Math; } @font-face { font-family: Old English Text MT; } @page Section1 {size: 8.5in 11.0in; margin: 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin: .5in...

With Dish's latest programming combination schemes, what's the cheapest way to keep HD LiLs, at least one 622 but as little else as possible? For 10 years I've put most of my TV $$s into Dish, w/ AEP + HD + LiLs + SS and supplemented a little with cable but now I'm seriously thinking of...

I'm still trying to get a reasonable explanation regarding the Fox News HD feed Dish now carries and why those with even the BEST HD package can't get it. While waiting for an answer from ceoechostar, I offer this. As I see it, it's indisputable that Dish's new programming packaging is at...

Whether intentional or not and as long as both are carried by Dish Network, for them to restrict the availability of the HD feed of one major 24/7 news channel from the same programming venue where another exists amounts to media discrimination, plain and simple. CNN-HD should be equally...

I know some companies charge extra or a one time fee to attach external HDDs to their HD DVRs. I called my local Charter and they didn't have a clue. Neither could I find a thread here that says much about the procedure for adding one to my SA8300HD receiver. Side question: Is this unit their...

How else can one react to the fact that a few days ago I get my bill which included the "2009 Programming And Pricing Changes" leaflet along with my particular price increase. Today I get their emailed newsletter which includes the following: "DISH Network is still proud to offer our lowest...

Charter has recently added more HD in Vt and was wondering if Speed HD was even in the works.

I was a great controller until the analog sticks started screwing up. Just wondered if anyone else having similar problems and decide if I should exchange it or just get a refund. I was $29 which is like half of the Sony DS. Other question is the USP pod that comes with it - is that just for...

Not sure if I even remember how to create a poll but I'll try. I'd be interested to know how many think Dish fell short of their expectations the last quarter of 2008 considering what they had been hinting and implying would happen regarding national HD.

I got a new Sony Bravia LCD earlier this year and am able to pick up quite a few HD channels in the clear with it's QAM tuner by running the coax out of the cable box to my TV. However there doesn't seem to be any logical pattern to where these channels show up on the tuner. Is there any way...

I finally decided I'd never reuse my old 508 receiver, so I removed it's HDD. It's am 80GB Seagate. I installed it in a Drive Master external interface and connected it to my computer's usb port with the intention of re-formatting it but my Windows XP computer won't recognize it. What do I...

I just had to post it somewhere:). I found crushing pretty darn tough but there are a few tactics that really help some areas. This game was as much fun replaying it on all the difficulty settings and even now with chapters & weapons unlocked, it's still fun going around trying to get some of...

Satellites? Blu-ray Clarity Claims May Be Dubious - TVWeek - News U.S. satellite companies’ statements that their so-called “full” high-definition broadcasts are as clear as Blu-ray may be murky, according to at least one analyst, who says Blu-ray growth won’t be hindered by such claims. As...

Will a standard USB Joystick work in the PS3 or does it require some kind of wireless, blue tooth flight controller? Any good flight simulation battle games available ?

An excerpt from a blog at: Vista Does Not Suck | PC Pitstop which had an interesting perspective on DRM. "So the big question is why is Vista worse than XP? This is not the nature of the technology industry. Each year, things get faster and cheaper. Never do things get worse. The reality is...

Family room computer, Win XP Pro. I've tried everything (well within the context of my extremely limited PC knowledge) but I can't get this to stop - even after rebooting. During boot up the wall paper loads and then icons along with start menu & taskbar appear as normal and the right side of...
