    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Got the blockbuster movie pass menu on the 722, not on the 622 yet. Of course the 622 is on internet, and not the 722. Gonna have to upgrade to wifi on the 722 It knocked out the EHD, and all are now not recognized. Anyone else having that problem. or do I need to do something? Thanks

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Kudos to Scott for keeping up on this. Was a long time BB user until their bankruptcy, then switched to Netflix. Gonna have to check out the BB store down the street to see if they are still alive. Package looks good. Sometimes you do get a winner winner....

    Netflix to split DVD business? Not any more!

    Got my e mail also. Dropped Blockbuster for the exact same reasons. I can barely keep one website with two queues on it straight...... Am still on the $19.99 per month billing for a little longer. If Blockbuster/Disn get it right, I am back with them in a heartbeat.

    722 and OTA'S

    Not sure if this is related, and have not seen it (need to search, I know), but only for the past 5-6 days, the 722 has dropped the OTA digital signals (kept the analog broadcasts). This has been for a short time (several hours), and then they are back. Did not do a re scan, but I will check...

    The HD Absolute "Missing" SD Channels - anyone know why?

    8bitbytes, Thanks for the response, but my confusion is that Golf (CH 401) is SD only, and not included in the HD only packages. THe HD version is VS/GF (CH 398) which carries only a few hours a day of Golf in HD, and the rest is VS. There are gold tournaments on during the VS time that...

    The HD Absolute "Missing" SD Channels - anyone know why?

    OKAY, this won't apply to everyone, but could mean a lot to some of us. I haven't checked Dish to see the channels, but if they go HD only, what will they do with the Golf channel, which is in HD only part time, and still puts a lot of SD programming since they don't have a dedicated channel...

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    Has anyone noticed an improvement in the OTA performance of the 622 under L401. Have a CBS station that came in at 84 strength, with macroblocking, probably due to multipath problems, but since getting the update it jumped to 100 and picture is rock solid.

    811 is a POS...

    811 has worked fine for a year, until the latest software upgrade. Now the OTAs drop out more frequently. EPG problems have been consistently inconsistent and frustrating. And the PQ seems to have changed. Have been connected HDMI - DVI to a Mitsubishi DLP (14 months old) and have...

    2.80 dramatically hurt my HD PQ

    Have a 62525 MITS one month old. Normally run the 811 through DVI. Have had the component connected just for comparisons early on. After getting 280 I checked them Sunday. Color was way off, and could not get it back. Disconnected them. DVI still excellent with minor adjustments.

    P280 improves DVI color saturation

    Have had my MITS 62525 and the 811 for about a month also, and am still relatively uneducated. Haven't done any calibration yet, but hope to get into that shortly. After getting 280 Wed night, it was obvious the signal was oversaturated compared to the 269. Had to makesome serious adjustments...

    Satellite channels go blank

    Have had the dropout occurring only about once a week - Until Wed night when I got the 280 upgrade. Thursday it happened twice during the afternoon and evening. Certainly hope this trend does not continue. Only "good" thing is that the download of program guide seems to be quick, less than...

    811 blank screen and green dots

    I have the new MITS 62525, and have had the 811 with it for about three weeks. Have not seen anything like this. Is there any older equipment issue, or mainly a software upgrade problem? Will be keeping my eyes open.

    Satellite channels go blank

    Blank 811 Have had the 811 for two weeks. Last night all channels, and OTA digital went blank except for sirius music channels. Resets did not work. Finally after about the fourth time (two hours time) of reacquiring the guide, the channels finally came on. Hope this is not a frequent...
