Hello: Call a service rep for Dish today to have someone come out and look at my receiver. Was told that the vip222 was due out in August. Did not find out if it is only for new subscribers or upgrading customers.

Hello: I can no longer access the hard drive on my 522 receiver and getting error code 05B1. Is it fried? I have the 5.95 a month main't plan; how will that effect my repair costs?

Hello: Any idea when the vip222 dual receiver is going to be released? I really like to replace my old 322 with this unit.

Is it true that Verizon is not in the state of KentuckY? Any other phone companies going into the tv/internet business in kentucky:mad:

Anyone having trouble getting the 222 attachment file to open? It seems to be freezing up my computer when I try to open it!

Thanks for the help!:)

Hello! Having a interesting problem with my 522 and 322 distant "radio" remotes. They are not only changing the channel on the tv in front of them. But, they are also changing channels on the other tv as well! Both are differing brands of television. How can I set up the remotes to...

and the reason behind this is the Pro sports contracts they have bought. Would it not be better if ESPN organized their pro sports packages into something similar to the NFL sunday ticket that Direct has? It seems that would help prevent the overall package of ESPN channels from going through...

Just offer the network programming in HD and give the local affiliates signal in SD??? That way you would only have to offer HD from 8 to 11 PM, 11:30 to 2:30 AM and Saturday and Sunday afternoon sports programming. Most of the current “local” programming is News, talk shows, and old reruns...

question What do multiple recievers cost??? any saving on buying the receiver vs rent? Any dual receivers that cut down on cost? What is Verizon plan for expanding the service? I guess where it is going to be available next and when is top secret info:mad:

I noticed that that new 211/411 are single receiver boxes. Is dish moving away from the dual tuner receivers? It was always nice to save $5 here and there and it would seem that dual tuner boxes would save money for them on swapouts.

Over on Dish side of the boards, it is exclaimed by many that Directtv has a very "soft" picture quality in SD and in HD. Even below that of Dish which does not have the greatest picture quality itself. Is this true??? I realize that with bandwidth constrants that both sides have to compress...

Boy, I guess if you live in Glendive it is going to be a very very long wait for you :)

I wonder if direct is going to follow the "top markets" directly ( hitting #44 before #45 ). I would guess the Louisville market (#50) would most likely be in 2007 or later :(

in their HD offering and the quickness of their Mpeg4 upgrades. It appears that Dish is taking a slower approach. Could this come back to bit Dish? I really see Direct offering all HD channels in the top 50 markets by the end of next year. But, I don't see Dish moving anywhere near this...

Hello! I have several questions on the new Mpeg4 receivers coming down the line. 1. Will all the new receivers be HD compatable. In other words, are capable of receiving HD if one chooses to subscribe at some point? 2. Are any of these new recieivers "dual" tuner models like the 322, 522 ?

So, it is technically impossible for a receiver to controll 2 HDTV's?? The standard cabling used by Dish can not handle the signal???

Have duel HD tuners that would allow them to be hooked up to two HD tv sets? The old 942 allows for one HD and one SD hookup. Any word on if the new 962 would allow 2 HD hookups? It seems that duel receivers would save dish on the number of units they would have to swap out eventually and...

Why don't they just offer FNC as an option? If you, as a subscriber, want the channel you pay an additional 50 cents a month! Congress could do so much good if they banned the the practice of "bundling" channels and forced the Sat companies to offer more channels seperately. I would...

It is NOT like we want the 942 for free Lets say that Ford offered all buyers, who have NEVER, bought a Ford truck before, get a 50% discount on the purchase of a new truck. Anyone who has owned a Ford before are not able to get this deal. But, from time to time and no apparent reason SOME...

That is the problem with Dish, if the policy is not to give current subscribers the 942 for $249 and only offer it to new subs then that should be the policy. But, they seem, from time to time and no apparent reason, "break" this rule for "some" customers :mad:

Hello Just had a 522 and 322 receiver installed at my house Monday. The 522 works great on the two TV's connected to it. But, with the 322, only the TV located next to the receiver seems to work. The installers ( who did not even program the remotes!). Said there must be sometime wrong...

I still don't really know what advantages it has over the dish500. Especially if you still need two dishes to pick up all your locals! I am moving my service to a new house in a few weeks. Should I try to get them to install the 1000 :confused:

Hello: I am currently a dish subscriber. I also posted this message on the Direct board. I have a 522 and a 322 receiver. In a few weeks I will be moving to a new home. And, I want to be sure that I want to use Dish moving program and not move to direct ( cheaper for first time...
