I know this is not SkyAngel, but several people wondered here about alternatives for Christian programming and this should be a consideration for all leaving SkyAngel. I just got an email from GOD TV telling that they are trying to get on Dish. I assume this is because SkyAngel is going...

We had signed up to pay for the special channels since my wife was hooked on HGTV and "Special Report with Brit Hume". :) We just switched to a package deal that included Verizon Fios, so my wife called in and canceled our separate package deal. Since we paid ahead we should have gotten a...

I just got Verizon's "TriplePlay" package (Internet (15M/2M), phone, cable) installed today ($109.99/month). I have been quite happy with everything, except for one thing. When the installer arrived he said he would have to reuse existing wiring, since that was what was included in the "free...

After a long delay (since the spring when they started digging things up), I was just able to order the triple-play package for $109.99 (Phone, 15/2 Internet, TV). My install is set for 9/19. Hopefully my wife can get them to put things in the right place, though I am going to try to come...

Can a Tivo HD unit be used directly with Fios? I notice that the Tivo site says to get 2 "CableCards" from your cable company. Is that applicable to Fios? I am hoping to get Fios soon and I am looking at options to extend my HD DVR recording space. Brad

It looks like I will be getting Verizon Fios shortly, eliminating the likelihood I will need any Dish programming in the near future (2 years). I don't want to reuse the dish I have pointing at 61.5 yet, at least not until SkyAngel completely goes away, but I would be willing to point my Dish...

Does the Media Center DVR provide any RCA output? I currently multiplex the output from my Dish receivers using their RCA (red/white/yellow) output. Can I do that with the Verzion DVR? Brad

I was told by a guy in a truck working on lines that the Fios service should be active in the Eastern Hills area within about 3 weeks. They are offering a $99 Triple Play plan, if you ask for it (Phone, Internet (5/2) and TV). A CSR told me today that I can get that same deal with 15/2...

I currently have two 522 units for my Dish programming. I take the RGB output from each unit and send it back out through the house so I can pick up the signal on any TV using a Channel Plus modulator (much better than the built-in option). Can I do anything like this if I upgrade to a 722 (or...

I have been multiplexing the outputs of my two dish 522 receivers throughout the house and I find I am mostly listening to the SkyAngel radio channels. With SkyAngel going away, I am thinking about what I will do to get the same effect. I do not have whole house audio setup, though I do...

I have a multiplexer that takes the old "standard" audio/video cable (red/white/yellow) and puts the signal on a channel. What is the best way I can feed that from a computer? It won't modulate the signal without video so I need to find a way to send just a blank video (or even the output...

They just dug up and at least partially pulled a bright orange tube (cable?) in the alley behind my house in Garland, TX. They also had flyers on the doors indicating they were installing FiOS stuff, but without any indication of when it would be available. After checking with the online...

I am SkyAngel-only, lifetime sub. I have 2 522 receivers. My bill was 14.16 last month, but I just noticed it is $18.02 this month. Did the DVR fee go up? I have been pondering adding DishFamily, but this may prevent that. I still am not certain about keeping the extra SkyAngel channels...

Any thoughts on what will happen if you don't return the current sheet? Will we completely lose SkyAngel, or will we just lose the "premium" channels? Also, why would anyone go to the trouble of sending the form back saying they no longer wanted their lifetime sub? Brad

I am trying to get my sister setup on SkyAngel (Dish equipment and satellites at 61.5). Does anyone know a reliable installer that can install the system in that area? She got a quote of $250, minus $50 since she already had the Dish. That seems too high for me. She lives in a mobile home, so...

I currently own 2 522s and I am using SkyAngel-only, though with locals and the public interest channels. I pay Dish each month for the right to have my DVRs and the 2nd receiver. :( If I buy 2 622s on Ebay, will I get hit with any additional fees? I like the idea of extra space (since we...

When the VOD option first showed up on my 522 it had 3 TV shows. It had none the following day and everytime I checked since then. Is this the plan? Will it ever have "free" TV shows again? I refuse to pay for their movie offerings and I wish I could just have the hard disk space..... Brad

I was just looking at the listing for The Learning Channel on http://www.dishnetwork.com and the last package it said it was a part of was the "ESSENTIAL SERVICE" package. I can't find this package listed anywhere else. Does anyone know what this means? I am currently only paying for locals...

This was mentioned in the latest Retailer Chat. Does anyone have any details on exactly what is included? Is it just a fixed price for the Top200 package? Does it waive DVR fees? (Why the "DVR" in the name if not?) Can you still upgrade to HD later, even during the 18 month period? Brad

When I first saw the VOD feature two nights ago, it had 3 TV shows listed. Last night it was empty. Does anyone know how that part works? I am assuming those were free, since no notice is given of any charge. (I skimmed through a National Geographic channel show the first night I saw it, but...

Has anyone else seen this? I can't remember the exact wording, but it was on one of the menus. I found it last night when I was trying to turn off the "new" VOD "feature" that is now sucking up my valuable HD space! :) And no, I couldn't find any way to turn off or avoid the VOD feature...

Does anyone have the specs on the DVR with the FiOS TV service? Brad

Does anyone know of a source to tell the specific FiOS roll out plans in Garland, Texas? I saw what looked to be a roll of fibre and a new in-ground box or two being put in a few weeks ago on the main street into our neighborhood, but I have heard nothing since then. I don't qualify yet, but I...

It is not strictly SkyAngel, but I think it is relevant since 3ABN is no longer on SkyAngel. I was researching to try and find when Verizon Fios was coming to my house (they are supposed to be laying the fiber for my neighborhood, Garland, Texas, now) and I noticed that they said they added...

Right now I modulate the output from my 2 522 receivers onto 2 different channels and redistribute them around the house. If I upgrade to HDTV and a 622, can I do the same, especially where any TV could get the signal on a modulated channel? Or could I send the HDTV signal out some other...
