    Upgrading equipment

    I was a bundled Dish customer with AT&T for 18 months until I got satellite DSL and dropped our land line. AT&T then turned us over to Dish. I recently called Dish to see about upgrading a receiver and was told I would have to buy my own because we had not been a Dish customer for at least a...

    ViP222k reciever

    I'm thinking about upgraging my upstairs rec'r to a ViP222K from a SD 322. How is the reliability on the 222K? Anyone have any thoughts?

    Folders on an EHD

    You can rename the files all to Kennedy Funeral and save them to EHD. It won't change the individual descriptions, but will put them all together in a folder "Kennedy Funeral"

    VIP722 and antenna

    My ViP722 DVR picks up many channels in the VHF range. For example 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 - but they are actually digitally broadcast in the UHF range and the 722 converts them -- I think that's how it works? Others may disagree

    Ciel 2 problem or Local HD ??

    Here in south central Indiana, we receive local HD channels from Indianapolis. We intially were uplinked to E5 at 129. About a week ago Indy HD channels were switched to Ciel 2 at 129. Since then I've been noticing "picture breaks" in between scenes of shows (HD only). It's almost like the...

    Question re: EHD max. capacity

    EHD Recent Tech Chat indicated as long as the drive was a single platter, capacity didn't matter. If the 1T at Staples is compatible, it must be a single platter drive. A good deal too.
