    Mac users please

    I use mail.app as well - does everything I want. But if I was integrating or cross sharing I'd likely use Entourage. For a browser I use Firefox

    Why no 2nd HD-DVR?

    actually you could get 2 even when they first came out. I did, but I think it has to do with previous circumstances. I had a 921 and 1 942 and got the same deal on both of the new 622's.

    Is anyones HD locals even close to OTA?

    same here - I was starting to wonder if my eyes were going back these last few months. Not that I can't tell the difference....I can. But the sat locals in LA are pretty damned good

    two 622's?

    not neccessarily - I have 2 622's and a 721. Both the 622 are lease and the 721 is owned. actually I should clarify - I had 2 HD recorders before I upgraded, so I turned in a 921 and a 942...but IIRC I did have to do a little talking with someone other than the normal E* order takers to make...

    622 recording multiple copies of program on DishPass or "record new"

    I am seeing the same thing on select shows. But there is ONE thing that I have noticed....every single one of these repeats that gets recorded does NOT even have the year in the info field. But I am gonna try deleting and resetting to see if it helps

    Upgrade HD with already installed Dish1000 BONUS

    Dudes and Dudettes!!! Called on the special number to upgrade from 921 and 942 to 2x622, and take the HDGold with locals. Got sent to executive resolution where Martin put me thru the paces. Totally helpful and, more importantly, totally TRAINED. He had no problem upgrading BOTH my 921 and...

    Did you use the special upgrade number?

    1) When did you call? 04/05/06 19:30 2) How would you rate your call on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) 10+ 3) How many 921's / 622's did you trade up or want to trade up? 921>622 AND 942>622 4) We you able to upgrade? If not why? BOTH - NO PROBLEM...

    Upgrade to the Dish Network 622

    you CAN watch 2 different programs on 2 different TV's...but the 2nd tv will not get HD. You get 1 HD out put and 1 SD output.

    Dish 1000 Elev, Az & Skew for 91745?

    argh!! I can't seem to get a straight answer from E* or local retailers. Matter of fact E* TWICE refered me to local retailer claiming "we don't have that info yet". :shocked PLEASE!!! Then who would? anyway..................... Currently have dish500 for 100/119 and another 500 for...

    Dish just lost a high paying sub

    chipvideo, sure sounds like it should work out good for you. With Adelphia as my alternative I would be giving up way too much...sigh

    Am I the ONLY one excited about the new HD deal?

    vent away!!!! I am completely and totally with you on the down-rez subject!! I, on the other hand, have spent a lot of time and money making sure that I receive and DISPLAY the best possible picture (as provided by you) :up but again, I am just not seeing any viable alternative. I'd loe to...

    Am I the ONLY one excited about the new HD deal?

    I completely agree on this count, but it also seems to be the nature of the business. Technology keeps changing but, while I do not like to keep paying and paying and paying, I also can't reasonably expect E*, D* or cable to continue to provide more and more for free. True again, at least for...

    Am I the ONLY one excited about the new HD deal?

    ya know DVDDAD, I very much USED to feel the same way. But now that I add up all of my upgrade costs I am no longer so sure that owning is the way to go. I have always been an owner, not a leaser, on everything. But for sat tv I am really no longer seeing the advantage. Sure I got my 6000 for...

    Am I the ONLY one excited about the new HD deal?

    I'm pretty much with you, cincy. I really don't see the other alternatives (D*, cable) as clearly outclassing the E* deal, as it currently stands. I have been with E* for 5 years and have been thru a 501, 721, 6000, 811, 921 and 942 - with the 942, 921 and 501 remaining - and feel that E* has...

    Wonder if we made a mistake with the 942

    now I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else but...I paid the $649 for my 942, just about 2 weeks before existing subs were able to con their way into the $250 lease option :dev Oh well, timing is EVERYTHING, I guess. But anyway, my point is that I am STILL glad I did it. Not that $400 is...

    E* takes head out of butt finally to help 921 users!

    good for you kluken!! I PERSONALLY have not yet had any problems with my 942. For the features that is has, the operation has been smooth. As for the 921 to 942 OTA comparison, I can not tell much of a difference. Maybe I am just in a good area. Actually there is ONE channel that I receive...

    HD Picture Quality Improving?

    I must say that even my wife mentioned that the big CBS shows are looking crisper this last week or so. I agree completely.

    My own conclusion: MPEG4 upgrade will be free.

    Off topice - the USR Dual-Standard was suposed to cover all the bases, but unfortunately was almost outdated before it was repleased. The USR Courier was upgradable. I still have my Courier from 1989. STILL the most stable and versatile dial connection around. Dish could really learn a thing or...

    oh where, oh where is the 942?
