    Distant Locals HD

    ...off waivers. The waivers came back approved but then was told it would only be for the SD channels. I got a call from the executive office at E* and was told they can not send any HD Locals. It’s not a FCC issue. It is an E* issue. They just have not spent the time to get that set up. I...

    622 Ethernet Predictions???

    Since E* has a vested interest ($46 million) in a company that makes Slingbox, I would say it would be incorporate those features as a guess. Play video and control the unit over the web.

    Probably switching to Dish from DirecTV, a few questions

    Joseph, I would stay with D* if I were you. I just got of the phone with D* and I am their newest customer. I had been with E* for several years. I actually now believe D* has better HD programming for where I am located. I'm in Birmingham just like you and they will have our locals in HD in...

    An easy answer to this mess....revolt

    Robert, I'm leaving to.. I've already contacted D*. My monthly bill will go down and in my area, they will be adding locals in HD where as E* doesn't have any plans to in all of 2006. I might have got lucky with the CSR at D*, but she was awsome, she actually knew what she was talking about...

    Bye Bye E*

    ...that ability by years end, but could not even guarrantee that. My area is not in the list of top 50 areas getting HD locals so if I stay with E*, I have to just accept SD which I just won't do anymore not when D* can give it to me. As a side note, she did say that she felt good about me...

    Bye Bye E*

    Well I just got an interesting call from a Natalie(?) in the executive office at E*. I have been with them for several years and was one of the first ones to order the 622 on Feb 1st. After the normal hassle with the CSRs, I was given the install date of 2/21. I'm in Alabama and was told by...

    I wonder (if true) that customer who are having them mailed direct from dish will see them soon.

    It just got to be too much, cancelled Dish

    ...what I am screaming.. All I have ever wanted was Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and a few nationals. I can't get OTA so I'm stuck. I'm considering going to D*. My neighbor got his weavers over a year ago and has been watching these channels in HD for a long time out of New York. Quantity of HD...

    Should FTC / FCC get involved? Should a lawsuit be considered?

    ...I think most people would agree with that. Most would not buy an HD TV that couldn't display some HD content 1 year later. So the issue is how E* handled it. They could have informed customers when they purchased the 941/952, but that’s not realistic. They could have on Feb 1st showed all...

    Should FTC / FCC get involved? Should a lawsuit be considered?

    Same Channels you will forever have you mean. :) Using your automobile example - Its not features that have changed its the roads this new model car can drive on. How would you like to buy a new car and next year be told its not licensed to drive on any new roads created in 2006. Sure you...

    Another Superbowl without HD

    I'm going to do the same thing I did last year. Go over to my friends house who has D* and watch it in HD there while listening to him rub it in that he has it and I don't. I guess I can take with me a picutre of my 622 that I have on order and might actually get one day! :)

    Should FTC / FCC get involved? Should a lawsuit be considered?

    Faster68, I feel your pain. You have a legitimate complaint. The issue for you was E* should have disclosed that your $700 would be outdated in 1 year. E* knew full well before the 941 was even released it was a time bomb set to expire in 2006. If you had known this you could have made an...

    It just got to be too much, cancelled Dish

    I have to disagree with NR2D's analogy of Microsoft and E*. While I do agree that all technology is dated and in time will be replaced with better or more advanced technology as time goes, the big flaw of E* has to do with timing. When Microsoft released Win 2000, they did not the same day...

    Whats Next for Dish?

    not sure, but according to the D* forums on here, D* is more then likely going to abandon there HMC after a whole lot of work put in on it.

    Would you recomend VOOM?

    I have had voom for several months. I can remember watching Rave for about 2 hours the night I got it. It was cliff Diving and Extreme motocross. If you get voom today you can still watch these same to exact shows on there. I haven't watched 30 minutes of voom since then. If you will watch...

    Let me get this straight....you have all been waiting for 2/1 and E* really blew it!!

    ...we can get the Superbowl in HD, but we all were told that from the beginning well before Feb 1st. But we are kept in the dark about the 622. E* is like a farmer milking a cow without a pail under it. Send a signal down without a receiver under it. DWS44, you are correct, no reason they...

    Whats Next for Dish?

    I heard a new Charlie Chat Channel in HD. Some might think of it as a comedy channel while others might think of it as a drama channel featuring lies and deceptions. And JRB, I believe the next HD receiver will be named ViP Infinity which name indicates the year it will be released. In all...

    Only one HD Reciever per Account???

    Own it I guess. It was given to me free from E* about 2 years ago when I signed up. They had a promotion offering free equipment, free install and no contract.

    Only one HD Reciever per Account???

    I have posted in another thread that I have got an order placed for the 622 this morning with a 2/21 install date. During the order process when we got down to discussing an installation time I was asked if this 622 would be replacing my current 811. I told him no it would be in addition. He...

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    ...and to call back on April 1st. I didn't even argue with her, I just asked to speak to someone in technical support. (From my experience with E*, that group of people can get a few more things done then the first line of CSRs). When I got someone from technical support on the phone he said the...

    When to call Dish

    I called at 7am Central time. The first csr I talked to said the 622s were not available and to call back on April 1st. I didn't even argue with her, I just asked to speak to someone in technical support. (From my experience with Dish, that group of people can get a few more things done then...

    Olympic Coverage In MPEG2?

    I believe some of the confusion came as a result of the latest Charlie Chat. They specifically stated that Olympic coverage would start in HD on Feb 1st. Charlie himself questioned that statement while on air because the Olympics don't start on the 1st and the gentleman to his left said there...

    When to call Dish

    mountain time. I just called for the fun of it and was told to call back in an hour. I'm sure when I do, I will be told to call back in another hour..
