    HD Channel List

    Does anyone have a HD channel comparison of all the dish network packages? I found one from the forum, focus on dish network hd, but it is from June of last year and is missing quite a bit. Trying to see the difference in america's top and dish america plans in regards to HD channels only.

    hd absolute - are you confused?

    Any other grandfathered hd absolute customers totally confused on channels? I never know what is in my package and what isn't. Seems we had cooking channel HD for a while, now it's gone, this seems to happen with a lot of channels. As an absolute customer you just never know what they are...

    move ext. hd?

    I thought I read you could move an external HD from one receiver to another but when I tried to plug the HD from my 622 into my 722 to move the shows there, it states that it can only be used with one receiver at a time and that it will delete all archived events. Is there a way around this...

    networked DVRs

    When is dish going to allow networked DVRs (one DVR can watch shows from another DVR)? I have a 622 hooked to HDTV and a 722 hooked to a projector and it is a pain when I want to watch a show on the projector that happens to be on the 722. You would think they would have that feature by...

    your dish fees

    Does dish charge you guys a receiver lease fee even if you don't lease it from them? $7/HD-DVR you have plugged in (first connection no charge)?

    dvr upgrade to hd?

    figured I would be better off asking here before calling dish about this... I have a 622 and a 522 and just upgraded the TV on the 522 to hd, is there a way to get the 522 upgraded to a 622 or 7xx hd dvr without renewing contract or paying an arm and a leg? ...I should have mentioned I'm on...

    converter box, which one?

    My coupons expire tomorrow so I need to order my two converter boxes. I was going to get one TR-40CRA for sure, dish charges $10 shipping though (or $20 if I order 2). I was wondering if this is still one of the best options (if so I would just get two) or if there was another one I should...

    if downgrading to hd only

    How do you go about downgrading to HD only when your locals are in SD and 3 of your TVs are SD (522 DVR and a 622 DVR)? Basically, my 522 would only get my local channels and nothing else. Dish told me they will not change out my 522 since I was thinking with another hd dvr it should at...

    dish packages are odd, how do I do this?

    I want to downgrade my package off top250 with dish ultimate. I basically want the dishhd package downstairs and dishfamily upstairs (my kids love boomerang). Apparently, there is no combination that will allow this. They won't even let me set up 2 accounts to accomplish it. If I just...

    OTA via cable?

    I was wondering if you can plug cable TV into the OTA port on a 622 and get channels through that? I can't really put an outdoor antenna up, the last indoor antenna I tried didn't work, I can't get HD locals on Dish, but I can get them via cable company....would be nice if I could somehow...

    522 DVR, USB port?

    I purchased the option to enable archiving to a hd over USB but I do not see the option on my 522 menu. I thought the feature was supported on all DVRs?

    dish review after 2 months - new customer

    Ok, I decided to try DISH out a couple months ago and just wanted to post my experience. First off, I decided to go with them because they called me and said they had my locals now. I was really only interested in locals and HD (I liked VOOM before they shut down). Anyway, my install got...

    hd ppv?

    Fairly new subscriber to DISH, they don't really seem to have any HD PPV movie channels...am I missing something? I would probably watch PPV movies if they were in HD.

    622 guide lock?

    Is there an easy way to make a 622 (in dual mode) only show HD content on display 1? Even a restriction to the HD guide + music only would be sufficient I think. Sounds like a weird request but I only want people to be able to watch HD content (and listen to music) on the projector plugged...

    cable tv hookup into dish

    I just signed up with DISH since they got my locals, however, they do not have ABC for some reason. I still have basic cable which gets ABC. Is there a way I can hook my cable into the 522-DVR to get ABC?

    622 & phone line, why?

    Why does DISH require the 622 to hook up to a phone line? You would think they would build in network capability by now...Tivo has been able to do everything via the network for years now.

    just signed up, question

    ok, so I just signed up for DishHD Gold w/locals and I was wondering if anyone has installed their own OTA? The guy told me they don't do OTA installs in my area. The locals dish provides are not digital and don't even come with ABC. I was wanting to install my own antenna so hopefully I...

    622 question with locals

    When I look up my locals on dishnetwork it does not show ABC and it doesn't show any of them as digital. However, antennaweb shows all 3 major broadcast as digital here. So I was wondering if I get the 622 do I need to subscribe to the local package still? Also, if I want to get them in HD...

    local finally - sign up question

    It seems DISH is finally getting my locals (all but ABC), zip is 78415 I was thinking about finally signing up because I got a call out of the blue from some installer saying they give an additional $10 off the current promo. However, I am not sure if they are legit or not. Seems the...

    what I don't get

    ...is why Dolan pushed to even keep the thing open when it was a 15-0 that shut it down Was he hoping someone would step up to the plate and offer funding? Was he thinking about funding it? Is there still some plan? Was it all just a cruel joke on us? I cancelled my digital cable to...

    disappointed

    All I can say is I am very dissapointed in my install process so far. I posted couple days ago that I decided to pull the trigger and sign up with Voom. 1. Sign up day, the CSR tells me he can't pull up any install dates and to call back the following day. 2. I call Voom the next day and...

    odd issue

    signed up with voom yesterday, they could not give me an install date They said to call back today which I did and they said they still could not pull up any install dates for my area. They contacted the installer in my area who was supposed to contact me directly. Still haven't heard...

    channel lineup

    Is the channel line up on the voom website current? I really don't see many channel differences (other than premiums) between the standard and vavavoom package. I am considering signing up with the new promo they have and I really didn't need the premiums but wanted to make sure I wasn't...

    voom's problem

    Ok, as badly as I want to switch to VOOM, their pricing is just not in line with other services. I was kind of waiting until a special came along so I could make the move from Time Warner but this new special just isn't good enough. $50 install, 9.50/month rental and for each additional...
