    Satellite DMA question

    I am just north of Sacramento and trying to pick up Palm Springs DMA which is on 129W, transponder 9, Spotbeam 33. When i test the satellites on my receiver at the 129/9 it changes to spotbeam 9 with a signal strength of 65. I'm doubtful that this is the Palm Springs DMA since the map shows me...

    HBOGo free with Dish (If you subscribe to HBO)

    I thought Dish customers were able to access HBOgo for free even without HBO subscriptions. Wasn't this possible?

    NFL Redzone Free Preview

    I noticed Dish is offering NFL Redzone free preview August 8 at 7:30pmET and August 16, 23 and 28 at 7pmET. More info at mydish.com/nfl. Is this just for customers with multi-sport pack or is this for everyone? Doesn't make sense for it to be free if it's included with the pack. If not, the...

    Dish: fix SD's aspect ratios to 16:9

    Someone at Dish needs to send a message to the tech dept to please fix the SD feeds aspect ratio that are downconverted from HD. I'm watching the KTLA news that is broadcasted in 16:9 HD on the Superstation pack that is 4:3 SD and the edges are cut off. This is due because Dish decides to use...

    MPEG4 SD Dish uplinks

    I've noticed that sats 61.5W and 72.7W receive channels in MPEG4 SD and the others get MPEG2 SD. Why is that? I thought MPEG4 SD is better quality. And if so, why uplink the same station in MPEG4 to 61.5W & 72.7W and MPEG2 SD for 110, 119, or 129? Doesn't seem fair or make sense.

    Superstations pack picture edges cut off

    Watching a movie on WPIX and the edges are cut off. It appears Dish is using the HD feed for the Superstations pack which is in SD. If they're going to use the HD feed in SD it'd be nice if they kept it in the original size 16x9 (similar to the ESPN feeds) so the edges aren't cut off. This is...

    FOX Movie Channel/FXM in HD

    Just saw a commercial for FXM/Fox Movie Channel in HD. FX Movies and Fox Movie Channel are the same channel available only in SD on 133. With the recent removal of AMC, it would be nice to see Dish add this channel in HD or at least in 16x9 like they do the other Fox SD stations. I'd rather...

    help with new locals

    Even though I am outside the spotbeam circles on TheList page, when I check the satellite/transponder in 6-1-1 it switches to spotbeam. I'm in northern California looking at Dallas, TX. on 110W Spotbeam 31. Since it switched to spotbeam and I'm getting SS 40 does this guarantee I'll get them...

    Video On Demand with VIP922 help

    When I search for movies some show up as Dish Online Catalog/Video On Demand. When I select it it doesn't allow me to watch it on my TV. How can I watch it on my 922 or can I only watch it on my computer? Is there On Demand with the 922?

    RSN-HD/sports pack idea

    For the duration that FOX/MSG have pulled their RSN's from Dish, wouldn't it be nice if Dish gave us the "full time" RSN's in HD from Comcast Sportsnet? Those FOX/MSG RSN's must have opened up some room for HD RSN's from Comcast Sportsnet. I know it's not much, but we're still paying for...

    AAD not affected by FOX/Dish dispute

    A spokeman for Sobongo/All American Direct has stated that the dispute between FOX/Dish network will not affect customers who receive their distant FOX networks from AAD. Even though you need a Dish receiver to receive distant networks from AAD, they are two separate entities. If FOX decides...

    922 streaming in HD issue

    Has anyone had problems with the slingplayer when set to HD at dish.sling.com? The video is sluggish and the audio goes in/out. It's streaming at about 4,000 Kbps. When set to SD it seems fine. It looks much better in HD though. They gotta get the streaming side working more smoothly...

    KTTV-HD on AAD: A/V out of sync

    7/30/09 9:37amPT: A/V out of sync during Good Day LA. Watching KTTV-HD via AAD. Anyone else experiencing this? It is now 4:21pmPT and A/V is still out of sync on Ch. 80 KTTV-HD. I hope this gets fixed soon. It looks like bad lip syncing.

    question re: distant locals

    I've heard that if you change your Dish service address to another city you can receive that city's local channels. Can someone clarify this hypothetically. 1. If one changes their service address online will that work or do you have to call and talk to customer service to get the locals...
