I fully appreciate that Dish, Direct, Comcast and other providers have a limited bandwidth with which to pool all of their content on but other than that and forcing people to pay for upgrading to HD packages, why don't providers cut down on all the duplication of signal and simply downconvert...

My package pre-dates the Turbo HD package and the customer service rep said that my package should have the RSN HD but my zip code disqualifies me from getting it. If I lived 5 miles east or west of where I currently live I could get it, they said! That's why I'm pissed!

That's the whole point of paying for a service, isn't it? So I don't have to leave the comfort of my own home to enjoy my favorite sports team! And as stated above Dish DOES carry the channel, but won't allow me to have it because of zip code stipulations, whatever the hell that is! And your a...

I just got off the phone after reaming out the CS idiot who told me the only reason I don't get CSNBA-HD is because I don't live in an available zip code to qualify for it!!!!! WTF!!!! My father lives 6 miles form my house and he can get it, BUT NOT ME!! I literally live 3 miles from Shark's...

Regardless, because of the nature of the Total HD package, any HD channel available through Dish Network should be made available on my package. I signed a 2 year agreement stating that I would get every HD channel available on Dish Network (besides Premium Movie channels) and if Dish adds...

Thanks, but 629 is blacked out in San Jose because CSN Bay Area has the rights to ALL Sharks home games!

419 is for those that subscribe to the regular packages, I subscribe to HD Only package. 419 is NOT an HD channel, which is why I am pissed off!

For the second season running Dish has dropped the ball on aquiring CSN-HD leaving Bay Area customers out in the cold when it comes to Sharks home games. Does DirecTV carry CSN-HD Bay Area cause I'm quite tempted to switch if they do. All Dish customer service was able to give me was a lame...

It's almost like early adopter angst! Not enough HDTV penetration in the market for dish to be as concerned as they should be, and those of us who jumped onboard "early" shoulder the responsability of puting the screws to Dish to support channels we want! I've done this dance before. It's OLD...

I attempted to watch the Sharks game 7 on Tuesday night on Versus HD but it was blacked out, of course! I called Dish and was told that the Sharks were responsible for the blackout and that Dish could do nothing about it! This blackout Bullsh!t agrivates the piss put of me, and Dish pointing the...

I live in San Jose and would love to watch ALL of the Sharks games in HD, but 2 factors are stacking against me: (1) I have the HD stand alone pack and (2) the Sharks seem to have made a deal with Comcast to broadcast MOST of their games in HD through CSN, effectivly screwing me out of see most...

Just an FYI, and it really, REALLY SUCKS!!! Dish Network's HD Satellite: Total Failure

It's like pinning our hopes on a shooting star.....the AMC 14 for example! ;)

Melony, just as romans8:28 stated, if the input is available on your HDTV, use the 612's component video output and your problem will go away!

I explored this issue since receiving (2) 612's back in February and have used Component video to handle all signals with them since then. And since we can't expect 1080p signals from any service provider anytime soon, component will be just fine for me! I still keep in contact with Dish...

Yeah, yeah, I know it isn't exactly a Dish HD discussion per se, hence the title of this thread. I've just run into this discussion in nearly every forum there is and figured I'd lay out my thoughts on it, just for shiggles and gits! But if you think about it, it does pertain to DVR's with...

I've been hearing chatter from a lot of journalists and electronic industry "leaders" for some time now, from Microsoft to Apple, tout how very soon digital streaming and downloading of HD video content will eclipse conventional packaged media (i.e. DVD, Blu-Ray) and be a simpler method than the...

I don't get what's going on at Dish! I think it's time I spoke with an engineer during normal business hours because all these tech people are just reading out of manuals on 'basic' troubleshooting, if not directly from user manuals! I did get in touch with Sony today, but like I posted above...

I like that! ;) After testing my Panasonic DVD recorder with HDMI connection and it INSTANTLY showing up on my Sony HDTV's input list as an HDMI Control device, I feel Sony may be out of the woods, but I will contact Sony technical support today to try and iron out any bugs that might be in the...

Like I stated above, I have found if your having problems with the 612 freezing up and your connecting to your TV via HDMI, switch to component video and it may resolve your problems, as it did in my case. I too found after speaking with Dish as of LAST NIGHT that they claimed not to have any...

After some further consideration and the information you all have gratefully contributed I am coming to the conclusion that my Sony HDTV's HDMI input could very well be to blame for this whole fiasco! In doing the diagnostic through my 612, and speaking to Dish tech support I feel that my Sony...

That could be the cause, but since HDMI is such a fiasco as far as standardization anyway it could just be an issue with GENERAL compatibility! I love the incorporation of HDMI being a single cable solution but if I have to endure revision after revision with a patch following each revision, as...

Not to put too fine a point on it! But after switching my (2) 612 units between an HDTV in the front room and an SDTV in the bedroom I realized when the 612 is connected through anything accept HDMI it functions without any problems, at least with my units. But after a week of testing both...

Not sure but AMC, Hallmark, and a few other SD channels have suprisingly stuck around on my HD stand alone package, so that may be an indicator since with nearly every HD channel I get, if available, I also receive it's SD counterpart so it is possible. I asked the customer service this about...
