Any idea on the best time to switch from an annual base package to one with a monthly charge? I know the auto pay occurs in January every year, but the charge itself is posted right after Christmas. I've been on an annual package for a long time, but it keeps me from from getting any other...

Got this in my inbox today: Dear $FIRST_NAME, Your DISH Network statement is now available to view online. To access your statement, please log on to My Account at dishnetwork.com and select "Manage Your Bill". etc. Looks like their billing system wasn't pulling data from the...

When the Champaign/Decatur/Springfield HD locals were made available on Ciel2, I decided it was time to take the foil off the 1000.2's 129 LNB. It was placed there to force my national HD channels to come from a wing dish looking at 61.5 since it was more reliable when I installed the 1K2. So...

Since I live in a DMA that is not on any list for HD locals (Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Springfield IL), I grow weary of seeing that $5 monthly charge for SD locals that I very seldom watch. I do have an antenna hooked to my 722's ATSC tuner, but since two of the four "majors" are affiliates of...

Was happily watching the new HD content yesterday since I have Starz and Cinemax, but awoke this morning to my owned 722 with the fan running at full speed and the left TV 1 LED cycling on and off at a regular interval. Did the front panel hard reset and also a "pull the plug" reboot and it...

Man, did we have some terrific winds in the Midwest today. I know there were 50MPH gusts based on the creaking of my house. But here's the problem: I have a 1000.2 with a 300 wing dish pointed at 61.5. Since 129 is a turd bird, I covered up the LNB for that some time ago and just get what I need...

Just watched an episode on HDNET that was full-screen, and always looks pretty good there. Then over to SciFi for their Monday night quad of eps and it was all SD! So we clamored for SciFi and they don't source anything but BSG in HD? Will the same hold true for Stargate Atlantis? I've seen...

Sorry, but I'm a little behind in the acronyms since I bounce in and out of these forums. (Recently joined the Pub, though!) I know it means local channels, but what happened to DMA (Designated Market Area IIRC)? And why is the "i" lowercase? TIA for the answer. sigmtr

Never mind the speculation on what Dish will or won't do in regards to more HD content. I am curious what it will take for individuals on this forum to defect from Charlie's ranks. Yes, I'm a Sci-Fi fan and would like to see BSG in HD. Also Stargate Altantis. But I also see more and more of...

Got my DISH Network eStatement Reminder today and followed the link to go to the My Account page where you login. Got right in and noticed there are many more details about your account now, like what receivers you have with all the serial numbers, what packages you have, etc. Nice, but when I...

Oh boy, what insomnia will lead you to do... Last night I dragged out my old dual-speed hub and spliced it between my switch and the 722's Ethernet port. The laptop went on another of the hub's ports and Wireshark was fired up. I made a filter to only log things to/from the 722's MAC (hardware)...

This is sad. I just installed my own 1000.2 dish a couple of weeks ago and had it working with my 625 just fine. But when I hooked my my new 722 yesterday, I moved the 625 to the second port on the DPP44 to have it around until the 722 had been activated. For the heck of it, I ran the system...

Just was watching some CNBC and two stories were in the same segment, one about the woman losing the music sharing case and the other about Tivo likely prevailing on their suit against E*. The gal doing the stand-up report said at the end that this will mean two things to E*: Having to pay...

Well, I bit the bullet and had an exchange with an E* "Executive Communications" rep since I had no luck with the regular web submission. A phone call ensued and I'm set for this Friday to get a 722 and 1000.2 dish to take advantage of the new Toshiba LCD HDTV that I bought recently. I made...

Since getting the latest firmware that changed the signal strength meters (dropped by about 20 points on average), I've noticed that audio output on the optical port is dropping for less than a second every couple of minutes, no matter what channel I'm on. This is in single-user mode, and...

In mostly reading this forum for about a year now, I've noticed that the majority of concerns are directed towards HD, picture quality and programming in addition to talk about the latest receivers. What I don't see is much discussion of sound issues, unless it's a problem with some particular...

Here's my setup: A 105 SuperDish with the FSS LNB removed, so it's really just an oversize Dish500 with two DP Duals. For kicks, I retro-fitted an old Dish300 with a new DP Dual and set it up to get 61.5. It's mounted on a "dock post" pole that is used with chain-link fence. That extra height...

I retired my SuperDish over the weekend in favor of an old Dish 500 with a new DP Twin LNB. Man, was the shroud over the 105 and 110 LNB's a haven for wasps! Signal levels on the 500 are a little less than with the Super, but acceptable. Now I've got to ask, should I hang onto the Super for...

Hello, New member here, great info on this site and forum. I sent a message to the ceo@echostar.com address on Monday, and was wondering when I might expect a response given the midweek holiday. I have been a DishNet subscriber since 1998, and recently decided to add a "custom" Movie Value...
