    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...

    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...

    Any word on 622 Native Passthru?

    I watched a VHS tape on my HDTV (kid's movie rented from the local library) and was shocked at how much better the picture quality was than SD from my 622. Yes... even VHS is better than 480i upsampled by the 622!!! I thought Dish had been working on native passthru and it was to roll out...

    Anyone seen this behavior?

    Just noticed tonight that many HD channels are cut off at the bottom of the screen. The score ticker in ESPN2, the HGTV logo, the programming guide... all are cut off. I only see the tops of the letters. I did pop in the DVE disc and checked the sharpness test pattern and it does seem to be...

    Anyone ugrade from a 522 to a 622 and have had a HD set hooked to both?

    I did attempt to post this several times yesterday but between my connectivity/my attempting to edit... I lost/deleted the original post. In a nutshell... I just bought an HDTV set and am less than pleased with the SD picture quality. This is the 480i connected via S-VHS coming from the...

    Arggghhh! I need to point to 61.5, 110, 119 and 12

    Nothing is easy... I presently have rooftop mounted Superdish pointed at 110, 119 and 121 and run 3 cables from it to the basement mounted DP34. It's somewhat big and unsightly so I want to move it off the roof and post mount it in the backyard (IMHO it's less noticeable than on the roof)...

    Want to move my dish off the roof... how and how much?

    2 years ago when I had my dish installed, there were some trees in the way so roof mount was my only option. I've had these trees cut down so I now have a clear shot from the ground (which is what I prefer). I am upgrading to HDTV service shortly and will require a new dish to be added. I'd...

    I'll shortly be purchasing a modest (42~46") HDTV set to replace my begazillion year old RCA. I'm a little confused at present to what equipment I need or how to go about upgrading (it seems that existing and loyal are not priority for Dish Network). My present setup HW Superdish DP34...

    Something going on with 121?

    I've lost KBS America (CH 9850) a couple of days ago and it hasn't been back. I'm not experiencing any equipment problems at present. Anyone experiencing the same?

    Do I want a FTA system?

    Posted this once before but I think the computer ate my homework... here it goes again... Dish Network is my TV service provider primarily because of the Korean programming. But $36.99/Month for 4 channels is a bit painful. Plus the program guide is so utterly incorrect that I don't even...

    Do I have the right reasons to want a FTA setup

    I am presently a Dish Network Subscriber. The big reason I am with Dish is the Korean language programming I get with them. I get the SBS, MBC, KBS and ArirangTV for $36.99 which is kind of steep. The service is just so-so... The programming guide is spotty... well in fact, for most of the...

    Just got a 522.. What the $%#&^???!!!???

    I'm getting a whole bunch of recordings that I never set up with the timer and have no idea how to stop this. I noticed the Dish programming guide particularly for the international channels is far from being correct. To top it off there are "hangs" in just about every recording when the...
