    Dish can seriously go pound sand!

    Ugh! Where do I start! 622 DVR goes out on Wednesday so we call in a replacement. Replacement unit comes last night, hook it up and don't get locals in HD. Call back last night, was told that it takes longer for them to show up. Wake up this morning, no locals in HD. Call in again and am...

    Transfer data from External Hard Drive?

    Here's my problem. Had a 500GB Western Digital HD hooked up to my Dish DVR, paid the fee for hookup and worked great for months.

    HD DVR Reciever Reset Twice in past 10 minutes

    Dunno what's going on, but while watching a pre-recorded show on my 622, the thing reset twice and had to do the 5 step thing each time to find a signal. Each time it reset it would take approx. 3-4 minutes each time, and would come back up by itself. Make that 3 time now...seems more likely...

    Alien and Aliens on Cinemax this Sunday

    Thought I'd share. Here's a question though...I currently don't have Cinemax, but have Starz. Programming for Starz lately has really sucked, will Dish let me drop Starz in lieu of Cinemax?

    Are HD PPV movies presented in widescreen?

    I apologize if this had been answered elsewhere. I had rented Knocked Up off of a standard def PPV channel, and it was presented in fullscreen. :( I'm looking at renting both Hostel and Transformers in HD. Also, can these PPV movies be transfered to an ext. HD through the DVR?
