Our TV and receiver has started "coming on" in the middle of the night. I'm pretty sure that I've narrowed it down to the nights in which the receiver is upgrading. Is there some sort of setting that we've erroneously "set" which is causing this or what's going on. As I said I think this is...

We switched from Dish to Direct about 5 months ago. With Dish we had the 2 connections coming from the box going to the TV. It's been 7 or 8 years since I set this up, but I think one was HDMI, and one was using the 3 colored connectors....whatever that's called. On the TV we could get a...

My wife and I are new Directv customers and we were really looking forward to the on demand feature, but so far we're just not impressed. I'm just wondering if this is the norm, or if there might be a problem with our equipment or internet (download). First problem, we were watching an episode...

I noticed that some of the shows that you download from on demand have expiration dates....some are just a few days away. Also one current show when we looked at the info it showed an expiration date which was just about two weeks away. Do these shows actually "expire" and disappear from the...

I've been with Dish for a number of years and seriously considering switching to Directv, but I have a few questions first. If I just go with the HMC HD DVR to begin with, and then decide to add another room later does Directv usually give you the needed HD DVR for free, or would I have to...

Every once in a while we have a channel in which the sound is out of sync with the lips/motions of the show. We just got our HD locals setup yesterday, and the sound is out of sync on both channels. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

I know this issue gets beat to death on here, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the latest schedule was for the addition of HD local stations.....mainly interested in Little Rock, AR stations. I know there used to be somewhere on here, and on the dish site where there was a press release...

I was reading in another thread where it stated that Charlie announced that he was leasing a transponder to National Programming Service (NPS) so that NPS could sell Distant Networks too Dish Network customers. Does this mean that we can now (or at some point) subscribe to another set of local...

I probably should of come here first, before wasting an hour with a Dish Network Tech online. Anyhow, here is the problem....we have a DVR 510 in the bedroom, and about a month ago it started messing up the names of some of the programs. For instance you'd click on Haunted Detectives, and...

I know Playboy used to be pretty mild compared to some of the xxx rated channels you could order, but I've heard they've started showing some more risque type shows. Can someone who has Playboy fill us in.....Does their programming fall in the R, X, XX, or XXX range? If you'd rather IM the...

I was looking into moving into the Kansas City area, so I went to see what satellites I was pointing too. The first two are 110, and 119, and they are both showing green. The third one is 129, and it has a red x on it, and is not "coming in". Is this normal, or should all 3 satellites be...

During the last couple of weeks we've been having trouble with our TV changing channels, etc. by itself. For example we'll be watching something and it will just start going crazy, maybe going to another channel, or pausing, speeding up, reversing. Sometimes it will go to one of the menu...

One of our local channels is replaying a football game this weekend after their late news. Right now if I want to record the game I'll have to record it as 3 or 4 different shows. Is there anyway to actually set a timer based on a timeframe, such as 10:30 PM to 1 AM. Also is there anyway to...

I hope this question is ok for this forum. We got our HD hooked up last week, and it seems that most all of the programs coming over the high definition channels are too wide and too tall for the screen. We have a 722 receiver, and a 55" Mitsubishi TV. We've chosen the 1080i and 16x9 in the...

I was just watching CNN, and an option came up telling me to hit select to enhance it (or something like that). I did, and I'm just wondering what I did.....:). Did I do something that's charging me for doing it? Thanks for your help.

I finally took the leap today and ordered Dish HD, along with a 722 HD DVR. After getting off of the phone, I started wondering if I was going to need to have an additional dish installed. Currently.......We've had our dish for just under 5 years, and we've always had the 200 channel...
