    More DRM Coming?

    I'll try that combination tonight. Last time I downloaded HD content was on a 722 which has since been replaced with a 722K. Maybe it's some kind of s/w issue with the 722K.

    More DRM Coming?

    It was some of the free HD movies. The SD programming worked fine and I didn't try the anthing that cost $.

    More DRM Coming?

    I just discovered a problem downloading dishonline HD content that I think is related to this DRM issue. I have downloaded HD programs in the past without problems but when I tried a few days ago, I got a message that I had a non HDCP tv connected and it would not allow the download. It told...

    What do you think

    You can rationalize it this way, but it's still going to be $180 paid out of your pocket when you leave. So in one year, you will need to compare what you are paying for Dish at that time with whatever offer D* has PLUS install cost PLUS $180 spread out over the promotional period for D*. This...

    The $3.00 dvr credit GONE now.

    I changed to HD+Platinum last month. I just checked my 8/13 bill and I still have the $3 credit. I also lost the HBO+HD bundle discount as I expected to.

    AT&T and Dish Network

    I signed up with Dish through AT&T just before they switched to D* and my experience has been very positive. I've dealt with customer service several times and they been very helpful and not from India. I have also done the Dish chat online but they do transfer you to a chat with someone that...

    Bundled account question

    I go strait to dish.sling.com. I set it up back when it was still in Beta.

    Bundled account question

    I don't know about that. I use Dish Remote access, even though I am bundled. I don't have web access to my account though. Only through ATT and all they let me do is view my bill.

    Bundled account question

    I hope this isn't a dumb question. I am currently bundled with AT&T. If I unbundled my account and started a standard E* account, would I be eligible for the new customer pricing? Has anybody tried to do this with success?

    More DRM Coming?

    Lets hope so. Whats the point of closing the analog hole when they can't even stop Bluray DRM from being cracked. They would just be hurting all us honest consumers while the Pirates would continue doing what they do.

    More DRM Coming?

    It just a matter of time... It's just a matter of time until the movie studios force the content providers to do this (downres component). Bluray will do this if the proper flag is set on the disc. The current crop upscaling DVD players won't output HD over compoenent even though it is just...

    More DRM Coming?

    I suppose I got lucky. Maybe because it was replaced on a service call, not a replacment shipped by Dish.

    More DRM Coming?

    Try for a 722k. Aren't most 622's getting replaced with 722's or 722k's these days? I had my 722 replaced because of a hard drive failure and I got a 722k. I even got a free OTA module when I complained that I was loosing the OTA capability I was currently using on the 722.

    Is HD what you thought it would be ?

    It's a shame that Dish doesn't have a native passthrough mode. My Sony XBR has a bunch of adjustments to massage 480i SD video into something watchable, but my 722k will only let me set a fixed output resolution and my Sony's impressive SD video processing sits unused.

    New Customer Install - given a 522 DVR instead of a 625 DVR?

    This product brocure on the Dishnet site doesn't say anything about integrated off air tuner. http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/product_brochures/625_Prod_SheetWeb.pdf If you're quote came off a web page on the Dishnet site, then maybe it was an honest mistake by the web programmer.

    Vip622: What is the purpose of single mode without using shared view?

    I turned off shared view on my 722k the other day while experimenting and it changed the output on TV2 to a message screen indicating TV2 had been disabled.

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    My lockup's are starting to increase in frequency. I called tech support yesterday hoping they would just send a replacement DVR, but they are sending out a tech instead. Hopefully he brings a replacement DVR because I don't know what else they can possibly do to fix this. Maybe I'll get...

    All American Direct HD Prices

    What does fairness have to do with it? AAD has to cover their cost and their cost structure is not the same as Dish's or HBO's. HBO is available to anyone with cable, satellite ,etc. Thier customer base is huge compared to AAD, which is what keeps their subscription fee's relatively low. You...

    All American Direct HD Prices

    All operating costs must ultimately be passed on to the customer if one expects to make a profit. It's not reasonable to compare the cost of a premium channel like HBO, which is available to every Dish subscriber, to the cost of distant networks which are only needed by a small percentage of...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    722 freezes intermitently Hello, I've had my VIP722 since I signed up for Dish back in January and haven't had any problems until the last couple weeks. It freezes up about once a day and forces me to reboot it. It doesn't happen all the time but it is always when I'm accessing my DVR...

    Guide starting to burn-in on my HDTV, any fix?

    I'm sorry, but I can't let this statement go unchallenged. On black levels, I agree. But aside from black levels, there is no reason an HD set with GOOD signal processing can't beat a CRT when displaying SD content. I have yet to see a CRT that can beat my Sony Wega for SD content. The huge...

    ViP722 -- use only with OTA possible?

    It will cost a few bucks, but you could just buy a spool of coax, throw some connecters on the ends and run from the attic, down the hall, etc. as a test. I did this to verify my OTA signal was ok before going to the trouble of running through the walls. I did end up having to add an inline...

    Neighbor's distance? TV turning on by itself

    I had a flaky remote once that would cause my tv's info screen to come on randomly. I bought a universal remote and the problem went away. It's a long shot but try putting your remote in another room and see the problem stops.
