    VIP722 freezes

    Hello all. Haven't been on this forum in years, but I am once again a Dish Network customer. Sadly, I am already having issues. Shortly after the installer left, the reciever started making a whirring/clicking noise then the picture of both TV1 and TV2 froze and the audio cut out. The reciever...

    HD only? Eastern Arc?

    Hey all, I was a Dish customer about a year and a half ago (before I joined the Navy and moved), but I've been reading about new HD channels coming soon and I've always liked their HD-DVR (had a 722 I believe). On their website when I selected to sign up for new service, I couldn't seem to find...

    Just moved, can't have DirecTV, can't cancel?

    So my wife and I are current DirecTV customers, and just moved across base (we live in base housing on a Navy base), and the house we moved to apparently only has the ability to have one active coax line into the house (which is being used by Comcast for cable internet). The DirecTV installer we...

    Proof that MPEG-4 saves bandwidth/storage space?

    My 722 is picking up USA HD from 61.5, which should be the new MPEG-4 stream. I recorded approximately 8 hours and 15 minutes of Olympics coverage overnight, about 2 nights ago (handball, weightlifting, boxing, etc...). Before recording, my remaining HD space was at approx. 26hrs 30mins (cannot...

    I live in Beecher City, IL, very near to Effingham, IL and about 52 miles from the broadcast location of WAND-DT, our local NBC affiliate. Does anyone else in this area have trouble getting WAND-DT over-the-air? I get WBUI-DT (which apparently is broadcast very nearby) with 75-80% signal...

    Chicago 61.5 spot beam coverage

    I have been looking for a reliable (and readable) map showing the coverage of the 61.5 spot beam which carries the Chicago, IL HD locals. So far everything I've found on Google is just terribly unhelpful. The best map I've found so far shows spot beam footprints of the entire U.S. and, as you...

    Missing Big Ten & Comcast Chicago

    I was just inspired to bring this up due to a discussion in another thread: After switching to an all HD package no more than 2 weeks ago (HD Ultimate or whatever they called it at the time) my Big Ten network and Comcast Sportsnet Chicago disappeared, even though both were carried in HD. I...

    No HD Locals = Free Premium Chans

    Hey all, I've been an avid reader of this forum, this is my first time posting though. I just thought I'd include a little story of my recent tirade against E*. I had been calling them for 2 days in a row trying to raise a stink about the fact that I subscribe to an all-HD package (got...
