    Turbo HD... Only HD Channels?

    First thing I did was to do a search... I did a search and it's not immediately obvious what channels one gets with what packages with the latest programming churns. My Dish Network installation gets the following Satellites (2 dish setup with 1 big parabolic dish). 119, 110, 61.5 and 121...

    Turbo HD... Only HD Channels?

    I might jump to one of the Turbo HD packages but only if KBS World (SD Channel 652) is available with them. So Do the Turbo HD packages include other channels or are they truly HD only? According to Dish, KBS America is Available in: A LA CARTE-KBS WORLD AMERICA'S...

    Canceled service..... they won't stop calling

    If they call again... Do me a favor and tell them you left Dish because you want to see Yankee games and there's no YES on Dish. ;) Who knows since it's not likely they'll ever have YES they'll leave you alone. I recently got a marketing call from Dish (trying to sell me additional...

    Dish 622/722 L449 Software Release Notes

    Hmmm... I can do a Menu, 6, 4 and within 5 seconds do a Info, Browse, Theme to get into the memory dump screen but I cannot get my 622 to do a DST. Pause,1 Pause,2 Pause,3 doesn't do anything. Is there a trick to this?

    Roof mount?

    Another reason to avoid roof mount... aesthetics... Aesthetics is a matter of personal opinion but I've always found ground/post mount less noticeable and distracting than any appendage stuck to the roof/side of the house. Depending on where the dish is located on the yard (behind bushes...

    622 Playback Freeze

    A year and a half old as well... Can't tell you if it started with 4.49 but I first noticed it ~ 2/20.

    Dish 622/722 L449 Software Release Notes

    622 Behaving flaky... bad Unit or bad firmware? After a year and half of trouble free operation, my 622 is misbehaving. I came back from vacation on 02/20 and turned it on and got a message that my hard drive data was corrupted and that all data on the drive would be rebooted. After getting...

    Leased, owned and who's responsible?

    Been a while since I rented an apartment but I'm pretty sure I signed a 1 year LEASE, not a 1 year rental. Again... a poor analogy.... different items/services and different expectations. It really depends on one's perspective: The Dish Network equipment in my house gives Dish Network...

    Leased, owned and who's responsible?

    But let's be fair... The whole media/communications industry is bizzaro world where their own customers get the worst or no service and their competitors customers get the best service. Bizarre isn't it? Absolutely no benefit for loyalty.

    Leased, owned and who's responsible?

    Because my local cable companies do not make the customer pay for a broken receiver, a cable modem or a IP phone equipment. Because I have a TV set that complies with the FCC requirements for SDTV, DCT and HDTV but dish (and the cable companies) require additional equipment for them to have the...

    QAM Channels? Voom?

    Sure... but now I have to figure out how to install the box on my wall mounted LCD. I fished the coax and ac, where/how I place the box is going to be a pain in the A$$.

    QAM Channels? Voom?

    Dang! This whole tuner/settop box/cablecard mess... could they make it any more difficult and complicated for the consumer?

    QAM Channels? Voom?

    Hi... My parents are considering a LCD Flat Panel as their kitchen TV set. Before I spring for a set with a cablecard slot (big premium over the sets with just a QAM tuner), what channels are available via the QAM tuner? I understand the scrambled premium sets are not... but are channels...

    How do they physically lay the cable?

    We're supposedly getting FIOS in our 30 year old development this summer. We presently have underground phone, electric and cable TV. I don't see how they can lay the cable without major effort/cost... I am on an "island" in the development. Unless they've found a way to tunnel under the...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish ViP722 Receiver!

    What I'm really waiting for is a receiver with a HD TV2 output for TVs with a ATSC/QAM tuner. I think we're still a couple of years away though...

    Smoking Meat?

    They are indeed two different companies. I had the Mexican (actually Sacramento, where they used to be before the move) Kamado. I upgraded to the Komodokamado. I'll send more detail via PM.

    Smoking Meat?

    No Poking... A cheap $10 digital temp will do fine... Check accuracy with boiling water. Need two though (one for th meat and one for the pit). DO NOT poke around the different spots. Insert the probe into the meat and leave it there for the duration of the cook. Set the pit probe near...

    Smoking Meat?

    Pleateu at ~160*F There's a pleateu at ~160*F where the collagen breaks down and all the "magic" happens. It's not unusual for the meat to sit between 160~175 for hours. That said, a 4# pork butt should get to 190*F in 6~8 Hrs (1-1/2 ~ 2hrs/# rule of thumb). 9HRs is a bit too long...

    DISH Cries Foul Over DIRECTV/MLB Deal

    Man why do these conversations always turn into Yankee bashing. I am extremely happy when I am sitting in Yankee stadium that most of the money I spend on tickets/beer/souveneers... are going to fund fielding the best team. Steinbrenner wants to win every game/every year. All sports teams...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    TV2 picture quality over Coax... I've hav my 622 ~1 month and my TV2 picture quality over coax degrades/comes back then degrades again. First white horizontal lines on the picture then the picture becomes very saturated (begins to look like a primary-color painting). This is intermittent...

    KBS World Launching as PI Channel

    Because the guide is so inaccurate/out of date and the shows do not start/stop on the hour/half past the hour exactly. All my 622 DVR programming is manual for KBS. The shame of it... I can no longer hold my head high as a Korean when the French, Italians and the Latinos keep more accurate...
