    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Just ordered via without any issues. They didn't even have to ask their supervisor about it before offering it to me. I must have caught a CSR that one of you had already talked to. I specifically asked about the rebate, and essentially was told you need to request a prepaid card rebate now...

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    A hair under $24, plus the $5 to downgrade after the season's over, right?

    Rumor Alert!

    I must be right...Scott never corrected me on my guess. By saying a few have guessed, the next one is probably BBC-America-HD.

    Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

    Was not aware that such a channel exists. You could see my misunderstanding with a MavTV channel in HD being talked about as an addition.

    Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

    I'm looking at my guide right now and see channel 9465 as MAVHD. It says its available to me, but the program guide says Off Air and when I try to go to it it says that this is a special event which is not for purchase. I don't see any others up.

    722 freezing problem

    My original 722 had a freezing problem when playing back recorded and paused shows. It didn't happen during all shows, but enough that I knew it was a problem. I was told on a chat with a tech person to try deleting all the recordings and do a hard reset. I did that, and my receiver proceeded...

    vip 722 just went bad any suggestions?

    I just was on the phone with a rep about my 722 that was freezing/skipping while watching anything that was recorded. After deleting all the recordings and hard rebooting it, it tells me that pause and record functions are not currently available. My DVR no longer R's. She told me that I'd...

    2/18/2009 1:52pm - Uplink Activity Report - 71 changes

    Bowling Green is in Toledo's DMA. Findlay is as well. I was sort of basing it on what I remember seeing them cover as far as weather watches and warnings when I was still living at home. I was quite sure that those weren't hard boundaries, but I wasn't sure the conservativeness of the...

    Is it odd that the spotbeams for the Toledo locals barely cover the Toledo viewing area? The green oval covers not much more than the metro area, and the yellow oval appears to miss a bit of the fringe viewing audience.

    Yay. Can't wait to get home and check it out. Now I won't have to choose between Heroes and 24 which one gets recorded in SD.

    NHL CI free preview this week

    Free Previews: NHL Center Ice free preview It appears there's a CI free preview this week, Feb. 16-22. I checked the Dish Network guide and it has the free preview info, so I'm pretty sure Dish Network is one of the providers offering it.

    New XM Lineup

    I'm glad my XM Online Radio Windows sidebar gadget still works after the flip, at least for the channels I listen to. It doesn't include channel number changes, or new channels. But it still tunes in to 47, 48, and 202. For those interested search for "XM Online Radio 1.5".

    New XM Lineup

    My thoughts exactly. Not only the DJs, but their stations have much more of a top-40 feel where they play the same songs over and over again. You can't listen to them for more than an hour without feeling like you're hearing a replay. Losing Squizz and Ethel is a big deal to me. Alt Nation...

    usage question

    Before my dish was installed at my new house, I used my DVR and watched the things that I had saved on it. I didn't have to hook it up to anything but the tv. When you turn it on, the screen will come up saying it is trying to locate the sats. Ignore it, and press the dvr button twice. That...

    question about vip722 remotes

    I went the same route, but bought a 6.3 ir/uhf pre remoted off ebay for around $20. It is possible to have the two remotes for the same connection. You simply need to make sure both remotes are on the same Rem Addr (remote address I assume). My office and bedroom remotes are both on 15. I...

    Why does E* want me to pay $200 to get a 722?

    I'll feel free to quote myself. I called and was given a 622 for $100 (with leasing fees) along with the DishMover. I assume that the installation of the 622 is covered in the Dishmover installation. All in all not a bad deal considering I haven't been a sub for very long. I don't really...

    Why does E* want me to pay $200 to get a 722?

    I also have $150 for the 622 and $200 for the 722 show up when I go the the DIU page. I have a 1000.2 dish with a 722 already. I assume that the reason its more expensive for me is that I've only been a sub for 9 months. I am moving in a couple weeks and am adding another hdtv. I'd really...
