    Viacom satellite channels to increase advertising content

    Well, this is the straw that finally broke the camel's back. The Dish programming content is just not there any more with all the cheap to produce lame reality programming... and what programming is there is becoming wall to wall commercials worse than what we have now. I am finally going to...

    Spike now extending CSI just for ads

    Today I noticed that CSI in the afternoon had some funky start times. Turns out that Spike has increased the programming "hour" for CSI to one hour and 20 minutes on some of their afternoon screenings specifically to insert more (interminable) advertising. Dudes must not have read the latest...

    Smart card screwup?

    About a month ago, I received a new smart card for our 722. This was expected, as I heard that it was going to happen, by monitoring posts on this forum (thanks guys). We also have a 612 and I recently bought a 211k (thanks Claude). Anyway, another mailing from Dish came today with another...

    Smithsonian Now Gone from EPG

    Just looking at my guide on my VIP722 (at 4:30PM Mountain time zone) and Smithsonian is showing regular programming and not the "read the important message" crap in the guide. Are they coming back up soon?

    Question about DVR fees

    Sorry for this question, but can anyone tell me if Dish charges you two separate DVR fees if you have two separate DVR boxes? I have a 722 and am contemplating buying another box with a DVR. I haven't been able to find the answer to such a simple question... thanks!

    Rave HD will be missed most of all

    Topic states it clearly... I have enjoyed this channel more than most any HD offering. Where Rave goes, our family will follow. The Music HD (MHD) channel has too many pop-up/animated ads and this is too distacting. The Rave channel is (was) the best of the best. I know it is still up...

    Will, they take my old dish when I upgrade?

    Getting close to upgrading to HD with a phone call this weekend and wondered if they will take my old dish and LNB that I bought and installed myself. I guess that I will need a dish 1000 when they come up upgrade, but I want to keep my old Dish 500 and LNB to install up at my cabin. Will they...

    The accent was so thick...

    Okay, so I decide to upgrade to HD before February 1 to get in on the perks. I just called 1-800-333-dish and the account rep I got had an accent so thick that I couldn't understand what he was saying about 1/3 of the time. I finally bailed on lining the programming and hardware up today...
