    All American discount

    I just received an email form AAD to add the HD channels for 30% off for 6 months. I will likely do it for this price. I wonder if you can select only one or the other instead of both. I also wonder if the 30% off is for the SD, HD, or all channels. I think I will call shortly and find out...

    Dish HD Ultimate (what would make it worthwhile to you)

    With the loss of the VOOM channels I know this package isn't worthwhile to most (including me). What besides adding back the VOOM channels would make it worthwhile for you? For me, if Dish was to add the following it would make me feel much better about the price of the package...

    I currently have 110,119, (Dish 500) &129 (Dish 300). All with legacy equip going into a SW64. I would like to add 61.5 (Dish 300 or more likely replace the Dish 500 with a Dish 1000 and repoint the 300 to 61.5). I know I can add a legacy dual LNB at 61.5 and two SW21's that would allow two...

    Why does dish have shared channel numbers?

    Why can't dish give say ESPN2HD (9425) one channel number for the 61.5 location and a DIFFERENT one for 129? It isn't like they would run out of channel numbers anyitme soon. This would give those with both 61.5 & 129 the chance to select which signal they would like for each channel...

    In the past when I've searched for certain shows (Curious George, Nova, and other PBS shows) my OTA PBS channel would pop up in the search but the show title would have the dreaded "Digital Service" as the name. No info was there to explain how this happened but it was the correct time and...

    Your Number of Authorized Services (622)

    I see that you can view the number of services you have authorized on your 622. I was curious as to what number people have show up. To view hit Menu > 6 > 2 then hit Counters and look at number 11. I believe mine was 631. On the Dish Web Portal site it shows 831. I wonder what is...

    Why no SuperStations in HD?

    With the addition of new HD channels it looks like they would add the SUPERSTAIONS could have even thrown it in the new HD PAK. Though I'm sure when they do it put it up it will be in MPEG-4. I guess becuase it only has maybe 10 hours of HD per week but still I'd like to see it and PBS added...
