I hope your right but I think your dreaming to think that HD will be that standard by next year. Maybe is 2 or 3 years. As for the original question I think the HD only might last those 2-3 years but the price will have to go up to keep to many people from abandoning the high priced packs...

Hmm, so wait till after the Stargate Atlantis has its season finale, but maybe give us BSG in HD? Interesting. I know this thread is a joke at this point but if they have #6 on the chat and don't give us Sci-Fi HD well... that would be pretty stupid. But perfectly consistent with what I...

My internet only goes to satelliteguys, you mean some of you have "pipes" that go elsewhere with different information? ;)

I don't mind paying more as an early adopter what I don't like is that DISH charges different prices for the same service. I feel like the $299 I paid for the privilege to lease the 622 was enough early adopter raping and they don't need to continue forever. Not sure if its true as I have...

Okay I upgraded to the VIP 622 back in 2006 when at the time you had to pay a bunch of money and wait 4-6 weeks just to get the box. At the time I had a 811 and a 311 which I owned. But with the 622 came a lease and I returned the 311 so I had 2 receivers. In Feb of 2007 I called and asked...

Its sad how easily some people soak up the Bush propaganda machine. Hopefully Echostar will pick it up, personally I would rather support these guys than Fox news, or ESPN.

I noticed this problem today when trying to watch World Cup. When I push the swap button the DVR shuts down and resets itself. This is a slow process the fan comes on for about 2 min, then it restarts and re-aquires the transponders. Anyone else seeing this problem?

The problem with your arguement is that it assumes that TIVO has invented something. I admit they were given patents on what they would like to call "technology". But the idea to record live TV to a hard drive is not an invention, nor is the idea of skipping a set amount of TV with a button...

HD WB? Wow that would be great, wonder when/if they will turn that on for those of us in LA.

Okay well when I upgraded to the 622 I was offered a $25 credit for returning my 311. And since I figured that the 311 wasn't that valuable and I didn't want to bother with ebay I sent it back. But now it is about 20 days later and still no credit on my bill. Any idea what the standard time...

in so Cal u need 110 119 129(for HD) and 148 for some must carry So Cal locals

Had a Dish 1000 installed last tuesday. Getting about a 50-60 on the 129 sat. Called dish and they are sending someone out to peak my dish this weekend. But it looks like all I can hope for is about a 10 point improvement. Signal quality seems pretty good but I haven't had that long to watch...

I am able to plug a USB drive in and copy photos off of it. I don;t think there is any "unplug USB" option for that. Saving the files to the USB device should be no different. I suspect the real worry is it lets us take the Dish files off of our DVR and save the raw files to our PC. And...

Hey I figured for $10 i'd take my digital camera and upload something to the ftp. But yea all the videos they showed looked DISH produced. Which makes me wonder if anyone won their promotion. And if no one won then thats kinda a bate and switch isnt it?

So looks like they had no videos that made the cut since none aired tonight. Wonder when we might see our $10 credit.

Did he say it worked? All I see is him saying that it doesn't hurt anything. Personally I have never tried it, but it seems like the real "rain fade" comes from clouds in the sky not water on your dish.

I also was trying to get my installer contact info and DISH told me they could not give it out. I but since I am just upgrading from my 811 to a 622 I found my old contract that had the installer's number on it. Based on you being a new member I am not sure if you are getting a new install or...

Has anyone been able to upload to the FTP. I thanked Dish for their empty box but the FTP doesn't seem to like me.

You know $10 for 30 Secs of video this might not be a horrible deal. And you can upload your video via FTP. I was thinking of a script something like: Me: Wow I really wish I could watch DishHD on a new Vip622, but all I got was this empty box Pans to empty box with kids playing in...

You can do HD over the component cables, DVI or HDMI is supposed to be better quality because you are getting a digital signal all the way to your TV but depending on your HDTV you may or may not notice the difference.

I find that anything other than exec support or tech support is worthless. Any even with Exec Support or Tech support they are good only for as long as the phone call lasts. Any promises you get for action after you hang up is worthless, if you get it in your notes and can call later to hold...

Did he take the LNBs?

If you own them both why do you have to return either? Are they paying your the $25 for it? I have a 811 and a 311 that I own and I am going to return them the 311 for the $25 because selling it seems like it wouldn't get much more for it on ebay. On a simmilar topic, if I own all my own...

I don't see them going for that much on ebay, I see one for about $100 which doesn't seem that much.

So here's a weird quirk of the DISH system. I ordered a Vip622 Feb 14, of course I got a far off Install date (march 14). No suprise there. But now that my NBC waiver finaly goes thru so I can get an east coast feed of NBC they can't actually turn it on until March 14th because any added...
