What are our options if we want to have 5 or 6 TVs hooked up. I understand that right now they will only lease you 4 receivers? 5 will be HD, if we have a 6th it will be standard.

So we moved from our apartment with Dish to a house that already has TWC, so we dropped dish for the time being (might go back to it at the end of this year). We paid $103 at the beginning of August for July 28-August 27th. We shipped back the equipment on August 14th, and so I got a notice...

by independent I'm assuming you mean they can tune to their own channels and not just mirror. I'm moving into a house with 4 total people. 1 HDTV in living room (with DVR), 1 HDTV in 3 of our bedrooms [4 total so far], and maybe a final SD TV in the latest roommates bedroom. Since there's the...

If I understand it right, Dish will only provide up to 4 rooms worth of equipment, is that right? And lets say all 4 of our TVs are HD, they will allow us to have 4 HD boxes, as opposed to 2 dual tuners (that only provide 1 HD and 1 SD signal)? Now what about the 5th TV? Can the satellite...

We're moving into a house and might not be able to justify dish anymore (6 TVs... yikes). We might get a TiVo DVR box for our main TV, though... and I'm curious on the differences (I've never used TiVo)

well we had a tech come out just now... he said the eye fried b/c it was remanufactured and some rain probably leaked in. told him that I thought it was BS that Dish is gonna make us pay $50 for a trip out there to fix THEIR faulty equipment, and he agreed and gave me another, extra eye to...

We had a fairly windy storm last Friday, and since then we've completely lost a satellite signal. Is this likely/possible, or did something else potentially happen? It was MAYBE gusts to 40, but I doubt it was even that high... so I''m kind of surprised that we're getting 0 signal (our box has...

Are there any plans to be able to watch your DVR programs via the internet? Cause that would be sweet as hell.

I don't have any additional information except that I heard HBO is opening up the airwave or whatever, meaning that anyone can just 'tune in.' I would imagine that Dish will pick up this broadcast and redistribute it for us.

I saw a setup on my receiver to register it so I could schedule things online. Go to the website, register, and then all it says is "Coming soon - scheduling online!". Kinda lame. Anyone have a date on when this'll actually be possible?

sorry I don't know what this means, I live in Austin TX and I have two dishes right now. Does this mean I will only need 1 dish soon?

it wasn't on any of the alt channels. but it was part of the PPV gameplan package, which means they have to have the feed, right? edit: well, it didn't list it on the guide

So Fox Sports Southwest actually has different versions of it. I can tell you for sure that the one in Dallas, TX is different than here in Austin, TX. We missed out on a Texas basketball game because we were getting the best damn sports show from Dallas, great. Their customer service is full...

any chance that there are programs out there to decrypt it? Looking for archival copies for my PC ;)

Does this record-out in a format that can be read by my PC? Or is it some proprietary format that'll only work with the DVR?

I have a dual receiver DVR, and TV2 is in my room. Recordings default to TV2, which is typically fine. Let's say we only have 1 thing recording, and that is set for TV2. Even though we're only using 1 of the 2 available tuners, does this basically shut down my TV to anything but the...

With the 722, is this possible? I know it allows for an external HD but can you actually grab your recordings with it?

Still lists on their site DISH Network - Pay-Per-View - 1.888.825.2557

wonder if anyone had anything more to add :)

because we didn't want the 2 year commitment. One more year at my current apartment with my current roommates, so I didn't want to get stuck with Dish if I move somewhere on my own and won't need it.

I mean I don't mind getting one over the next month or two, but we just spent $149.99 on activation, and paying 2 months of service on the first statement. We'd like to hold off on any extra purchases for Dish for til at least the new year :)

we might give it a shot, but if anyone can confirm whether or not it needs to be constantly hooked up, that might help me make a decision. No use spending money on a router if it's not needed.

For starters, we don't even have phone service in our apartment. Don't need it, don't have it. We have two dual receivers, one upstairs and one downstairs. the upstairs one is in the room with our wireless router, we can probably have that plugged in 24/7. However, downstairs, all we have...

to clarify, this is my local channels as broadcasted by dish, not off-air. All the other dish channels pull the guide fine, it's just the locals that are not complete. Need to schedule house!!

We just got it all setup, but our local guide only goes through the next 30 mins, then it says no information available. Just tried a hard reset by unplugging it for a while, and it still doesn't have it. What am I doing wrong? Surely I'm not limited to the guide for only 30 mins in advance?
