    International Channel Prices

    Per Dish Network: "Customer must subscribe to DishFAMILY, America's Top 100 or above, DishLATINO or above, Great Wall TV Package or any South Asian, Urdu, Russian or Arabic channel or packaged in order to subscribe to B4U Music." This may sound reasonable, but I subscribe to only Stand-alone...

    International Channel Prices

    Dish priced themselves out for me I cannot speak for others, but I chose Dish Net work several years ago thinking I will subscibe to some South Asian channels. I was mainly interested in the movies and music. Dish actually priced themselves out of getting any of my money because I found I can...

    Add HD to any package for an additional $20/month?

    HD-Standalone Subscribers You are right, I do watch NGHD and the current rules require me to sub to AT-250 or above which I refuse to do. Since I have 622, MPEG4 conversion is not an issue. The main reason I paid full price for 622 and upgraded was to receive some of the new MPEG4...

    Add HD to any package for an additional $20/month?

    How about HD only subscribers ? When I upgraded from 811 to 622 I only had HD Stand-alone package. (I know we are a small minority here !). I always owned my receivers. I do get all VOOM channels plus HD only channels. But I also get NGHD, ESPN-HD & ESPN2-HD for which I do not subscribe the SD...

    Will the 622 load the guide for off-air locals?

    Guide Data for 622 provided by 811 I have a "HD Ready" TV (no OTA tuner) connected to 622 and deactivated 811 which I own. 811 is still connected to the dish through DP34 and gets me most of the guide data. 811 does not show guide data for PBS HD stations (this I like to have) and most...

    622

    622 Power Consumption If you look at the back panel of 622, near the AC power plug it says: "120VAC, 60 Hz, 120 Watts". I do not know exactly what it means, is it average, peak, minimum ?????.

    Mark_Ar, Thank you very much for taking time to answer my questions in a very detailed manner in messeges #147, #148 & #149.

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    Mark_ar, you have the "coolest" running 622 in this thread. I live in S. Calif in the valley, last few days we had a high temp of 100 and it will be impossible to match your temp. Most of these threads do not state their room temperature. I like to know what was yours. Also what was the final...

    HDMI And VIP622 I do not have a 622 yet, have one on order. So I have been trying to learn as much as possible from others in this forum. Some one , somewhere suggested that cold re-booting (by unplugging from the wall ) of BOTH tv and 622 solved their HDMI problem. So, please try that also...

    Is this $6 Charge Correct?

    $6 Fee on 622 My understanding is that $299 fee is charged for leasing customers for the previlege of leasing and the monthly $6 fee will be charged as long as he is a subcriber. The only way avoid this is to outright buy the 622 at MSRP which used to be above $650 and now dropped to $499...

    How many more channels can be added to 119, 110??

    THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM ON 61.5 & 148 According to the above list, there is plenty of space available on 61.5 to add the remaining 11 HD channels. Also, it seems that there is plenty of space on 148 to add ALL VOOM HD channels. I roughly counted transponders with space for 4 SD which is...

    Price Increases for Dish on 2/1/2005

    Down graded from AT180 to just HD-pack Well, Dish - The Flying Pig - is going to get about $50 less every month from me now on. I deactivated my PVR721 and cancelled AT180 package after being a subscriber for 18 months. The price increase was just the last straw. I had to wait about 7 min...

    Thinking of Dumping Dish

    I have been a E* customer for 18 months. I agree that DTV announcement covers many years into the future. Atleast they are saying HDTV is in their immediate future. E* is saying no compelling content available in HDTV, and seem to be spending most of their resource on adding more and more analog...

    Occational Black Screen I have been getting the black screen with no sound on my 811 from day one (Dec 2003). Every time this happened I have been watching OTA channels for long periods of time (more than about 15 minutes). Then if I pressed the "guide" button then I would get the black...

    Fox Sports World Free this weekend

    PQ of Fox Sports World SUCKS !!! Yes, you need AT180 package. One of the major reason I have been subscribing to AT180 so far has been FSW. The PQ is one of the WORST I have ever seen. I am a soccer fan, but when you watch FSW, you can't tell who the players are, the color is completely...

    Superdish 105 or 121 ?

    Thank you chelsea for the info. Looks like even though DishNetwork provides much more international programming (for very high cost), they make it impossible for a customer to subscribe to it !!! I wonder what will happen to all these customers of local analog channels when they are all shut...

    I searched already...please don't flame.....2 receivers

    To add to what WeeJavaDude said, you need one antenna line for each of the Dish receivers. If you can tell us what type of video inputs your TV has, we can be more specific in our answers. Do you have additional TVs in each of your bedroom you want to hook up to this setup ?. Also, how many Dish...
