    RedZone channel on cable?

    I've read that Redzone channel may be available on comcast this year for free or maybe $7 per month. Any idea if directv would allow Redzone channel without the full Sunday ticket?

    HR20 Program List ! in triangle

    In my program list, an exclamation point in a triangle appears next to two folders and one movie. Is there something that needs attention? BTW - hopefully unrelated - the pause/rew, etc keys were not working yesterday and I solved this with the reset function in the menu. I believe the ! was...

    First CS experience - wow :(

    Rant on I ran into a wall today trying to convince customer service that I or my neighbor should be given a benefit as a referral. I mentioned when signing up that I was referred by a customer, and again called in while installer was at my house and was told that I and my referrer would be...

    D* HD vs. Cable

    I hope I didn't just make a 24 month mistake. I just got d* installed and when comparing cable HD with d* HD, both through HDMI and all settings the same, Cable is clearly superior. Is there a chance of this improving? Not only that, I just noticed that my comcast just added HGTV and FOOD...

    hr-20-100s hr20-700s difference?

    I signed up at Costco where they had a stack of HDDVRs that I thought said hr20-700s, but they told me not to take it with me that the installer would bring it. The one he brought is hr20-100s - is there a difference?

    Installation tomorrow - Superfan? Extra HD?

    My installation is set for tomorrow, sales rep said all nfl games would be in hi-def, yet superfan is not indicated. Also, I did not want to pay for an extra HD receiver (I bought one hr-20) so only scheduled one hd and one sd, though I want two hds and one sd. Should I be able to call in and...

    HD programming only?

    Sorry for probably a stupid question, but is there an option for only HD programming with Dish? I have 1 dish currently at 110/119, a 622, and no traditional phone line. What are my options? TIA

    921 can I disconnect fan?

    Former Dish customer and I'd like to use my 921 as more than just an ugly $1000 paperweight, but its far too noisy to be used in my bedroom for OTA reception, and if I keep it unplugged when not in use, it takes at least 5 min to boot up. Will there be overheating if the fan is...

    "Dish pause" instead of cancel

    I don't know how they did it, but a csr just talked me into a "dish pause" instead of cancelling service. They want to charge me $5/month to suspend service rather than cancel, that way I can come back within the six months if I want. My question is - is there a penalty for coming back if I...

    Dish DVI on Dish's 34" monitor

    Is the "DishDVI" proprietary? That is will I be able to hook up a non-Dish source to this monitor via DVI? If so I'm assuming that there is an adapter to hook an HDMI output to the tvs DVI - is this correct? Thanks for the help

    Looks like I'll be jumping ship ...

    I was all excited about my upgrade to the 622 and the new HD lined up for me, but when the numbers came in and I'll be saving over $1000 over 12 months with cable, I had to make the choice. I hope the move isn't too painful, there are several drawbacks plus I'll be just another schmo with...

    $22 per month for useable 622

    The way I see it, this box will cost me $22 per month before programming and taxes. I was happy about upgrading until they went over all of the hidden charges $6 per month lease fee $5 per month DVR fee (why not just admit its $11 per month lease) $6 per month no phone line fee (1st time...

    622 guide for OTA question

    Will I have to subscribe to Dish's locals to get the guide on the 622 like I do for the 921? Drives me crazy because I get ditigal stations perfectly OTA but can't really use them especially for pvr w/o subscribing to SD channels I don't need.

    Why such an unusual lineup on HDPPV?

    Is HD that much more effective with animated programs? Why not many live action or big box office movies on HDPPV - are they not made available to dish in HD? Just always wondered why always kids movies and anime on HDPPV - never checked it out b/c doesn't seem worth the $6.99 (I have phased...

    All my broadcasters are 1.1 miles or less. Can get all with rabbbit ears but not all at same time (not practical when trying to hide antenna in attic). Tried two sets with a splitter and still having problems - any solution? I know i should be getting a strong signal from all stations - why...
