Fright Night was in my BB queue for a long time, not that I cared about the wait, but when it finally arrived it was a 3D Blu-Ray disc and it wouldn't play in my older 2D Blu-Ray player because it wasn't 3D capable. I can't find a 2D version of this movie in the BB inventory, search result...

My VIP722 has been rock solid for many years but I received a free upgrade offer that expires on 1/31. My 722 has always worked great but lately I have noticed intermittent blocky pixelation when starting recorded programs or fast forwarding to a new portion of a show, and the time it takes to...

Wow, the only station in the Des Moines, IA area to make the switch recently to the digital transmission standards has killed their OTA signal strength for their channel. NBC(WHO-TV) in Des Moines made the switch and now very few people with indoor rabbit ears can receive it. It went from 90+...

I just got off the phone with Dish. I've scheduled installation of a wing dish for the new Des Moines, IA HD local channels that are on 61.5. They're charging $59 for a 2nd dish plus no more than $29 extra for service because I'm on the protection plan. They say it shouldn't be more than...

I'm watching the Olympics on various channels. My OTA NBC signal is super HD, my USA and 98 and 99 seem not so sharp. Universal HD seems good.

Hey, I'm sorry if this has been addressed before but I just wanted to send a quick question out. Why is there blocking during fast action shots on my OTA shows? NBC, ABC, CBS, etc... I'm picking up these shows with my rabbit ears and I still see some blocking. I thought blocking was all...

I need a better indoor OTA antenna. I made the mistake of monkeying with my existing indoor antenna and everything has gone to crap. I have the cheap rabbit ears with the circle loop right now. Before I touched it everything was good, but I tried to make it better. Now it is angry. Even the...

WOI ABC5 in Des Moines, IA ran weather alerts during the last hour-and-a-half of the Season Finale of LOST last night. The weather alerts downgraded the HD feed to SD and also reduced the aspect ration from 16x9 to 4x3. To add insult to injury, they announced they would re-broadcast the...

Before the VOOM massacre, I could not have cared less about the TIVO lawsuit because I believed Dish Network would always look out for the best interests of their customers. I don't believe that now and will never believe it again. I think Dish Network is perfectly capable of disabling DVR's...

Hey, I'm watching CNN HD and on the left and right side of the wide screen the election result info graphics are cut off so I can't read them. I've been noticing this a lot with other HD channels where the logo in the corner is right on the edge of the screen or even cut off a little bit. The...

This post is in no way a criticism of Dish Network's HD picture quality, more of a curious question about other people's televisions compared to mine ... Bright whites in HD on my television are always blown out no matter what HD channel I watch, even OTA channels. If someone is wearing a...

I regularly hear people in this forum talk about how worthless the Voom channels are. I have to say that I think they are the most compelling set of HD channels I've ever seen anywhere, and I would be extremely sorry to see them go. I honestly consider the Voom channels to be the best...

Does anyone know what a good signal strength should be on 129 for someone in Des Moines, Iowa? I have a vip722 with 1 dish and lost a couple Voom channels last night during moderate rain.

I'm wondering what 722 owners think about the HDMI vs. the Component video feed as far as PQ goes. Any fans of one over the other? Reasons? I know my own preference, but I'm curious what others have to say. -thanks

Just upgraded from a very old DVR and an old 811 HD receiver to the vip722 and I am totally blown away. I was ready for this thing to suck having read a few negative posts, but it is as if Dish spent the past 5 years listening to all my complaints and designed the perfect receiver for me...

I'm upgrading to the vip722 soon and the service rep asked if I wanted to leave the old dish on the roof or have the installer remove it when they install the new dish. The old one is at least 5 years old so I'm wondering why I would want to keep it. Anyone have any ideas? -thanks
