    Portland-Auburn Maine DMA, wrong locals.

    Hey, Just wanted to know if others out there were getting North/South Carolina locals instead of Portland-Auburn, Maine locals. I've contacted DISH and they said it'll be fixed as soon as possible. The local PBS station is coming in fine. Are any of you experiencing this? Thanks! EDIT: Back...

    Update for VIP222..

    I got this update as well- I have noticed a dramatic increase in the time it takes for the guide to pop up after pushing the guide button. It was bad before this update, and now it's even worse.

    Just became a new customer, and I'm VERY excited!

    Just a note on this- you can call and get a free receiver replacement without this plan under warranty. You will have to haggle to get them to drop the $15 shipping fee.

    The quality of HD channels?

    Is the 222k MPEG4? I have tried the HDMI cable I connect to my Xbox+component and no matter what the 222k is always least clear.

    The quality of HD channels?

    Just a quick correction, I have a 722k, and the output is defiantly set on 720p. The TVs information screen confirms this. I guess I am referencing a type of "unclairity" in the picture and notice that the image on HD channels is blotchy. I don't think it's my TV because things from my...

    The quality of HD channels?

    Hello, I've been bouncing back between 720p and 1080i to try and see if I can see a difference. Based on threads here, I settled on 720p. I have also tried both Component and HDMI with no visible difference. In addition, I have worked around with my TVs settings. I am thinking, based on...

    The quality of HD channels?

    I have been a DISH subscriber since this February and can now say I've noticed a noticeable decline in HD picture quality. Netflix HD streaming from my Xbox looks better and less blotchy than DISH HD does. Does anybody know what is up with this? Have they been reducing the bitrate on HD...

    New HD local markets being launched

    GAH! The DMA next to mine, Bangor,ME is getting PBS and the CW in HD. My DMA doesn't have that. People are always talking about how easy it is to "move," is it really that easy/can it be done on the website?

    Closed Caption issues- Comedy Central and HLN(sats 61.5 and 72)

    To avoid opening another thread- What is the deal with superstations? Looking online, it says I am eligible for the UPN and WB ones. What are the benefits to these if one already MyTV and CW locals? Are they offered in HD? Thanks!

    Closed Caption issues- Comedy Central and HLN(sats 61.5 and 72)

    I called regular tech support and asked for the closed caption compliance person, they weren't sure who that was, neither was the supervisor. I found it on the FCCs website(Alex Constantine, 202-293-0981). I left a message and am wondering if anybody else is having these issues. Thanks!

    Don't use DishStore.net

    I ordered a TV2 IR converter from them and had the exact opposite experience. They don't seem like a company who would rip somebody off.
