    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    This move was too much for us - we're not willing to go without AMC (YMMV, of course), so, as much as we enjoyed Dish, we decided it was time to switch back to Comcast - the Triple Play pricing gave us HBO/Showtime/Cinemax/Starz/NFL/RedZone, internet service averaging 24Mbps, and VOIP...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I would just like to not have to read tea leaves, like lists of resolutions of prior spats, absence of AMC in channel lineup cards, etc. Unfortunately for us, we're not willing to live without Mad Men and Breaking Bad, no matter what "high quality" channels replace AMC. I'd REALLY prefer not to...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just got off the phone with a Dish CSR, and asked "Are you really going to pull AMC Networks?". He said no, there's been an update, and they will definitely NOT be pulling AMC. I asked how recent that information was, and he said "Within the last day or two". Can anyone else confirm this? I'm...

    S108xajd is up! Anything new?!

    1 day after it installed, I came home, during a moderate rain storm in Denver, to see no channels. I went to System Info/Details, and saw messages indicating a LARGE number of signal losses since the update installed (54 in the previous 6 hours, 85 in the 6 before that, 29 in the 6 before that...

    How long for 922 to be accessible online?

    Mine was available within several hours, but I'd expect a lot of variance. For a lot of 922 users, DRA is problematic in that your 922 will frequently appear offline, even with a good broadband connection (I'm definitely one of those users). Unfortunately, I think the real answer to your...

    922 Always Offline

    THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!! Too bad you can't have my 922, tho ;)

    922 Always Offline

    I wouldn't count on a DHCP reservation as a solution, even when your router firmware is fixed. I have one for my 922, I've verified over time that the address is stable, and I still have flaky behavior. My sense is that flaky DHCP addresses make solving the problem harder, but I'm not...

    S106 XACD UP

    Three things I'd really like to see in the next release: Undelete Not having to pause/FF/REW the program to display the timeline More stable network behavior

    dish network remote access won't connect

    Same here. What I've noticed is that it's VERY intermittent - sometimes the DVR will show up the next time I click a tab in the DRA web site. Sometimes not. I also have intermittent failure messages in Broadband setup - even though the Tx/Rx packet counters keep increasing, and resetting works...

    Software upgrade ever?

    For me, at least, I think that's a true statement - I wanted off Comcast so badly, and this box really does seem like Dish's flagship platform (of the year, anyway), so the promise of what they'll ultimately do with it is what attracted me. Interestingly enough, I think that what drives my...

    S106 XACD UP

    Still some recording issues for me. Started watching a recording of a show last night. Finished it. Tried to delete it. Couldn't. Tried switching to the show that was being recorded. Couldn't, despite the fact that it was (according to the box) still recording. Waited for the show to end...

    S106 XACD UP

    A post over at dbstalk says that a web browser is in the update. Have not had the chance to verify that this is the case. Probably worth checking, though.

    Sling Player for Android... 922 support?

    When I try to log in with the android client, I get a message saying that the e-mail id or password is not valid. When I go to slingaccounts.com, using the same e-mail and password, I can get into the site just fine. Anyone else have this problem?

    Channel Logos

    Given that I can't solve it on my TV, I guess I would second DVDDAD's request, Scott!

    Do you think the 922 is ready for prime time yet?

    I'm finding that the 922 is very sensitive to doing anything to timers while there are recordings in progress. I have recently experienced (alone or in combination): Reboots (screen goes blank for 5-10 seconds), returns, recording is "stopped by STB reboot", and then picks up on reboot as a...

    The (un)OFFICIAL missed recordings thread

    Can't speak for anyone else, but for me it seemed like a decent time to do it, given that it's summer, which for us means fewer "critical" shows. I figure (and I am an optimist) that Dish/Sling know about it despite what their CSRs say, and that the 922 is supposed to attract people to Dish over...

    Next firmware update

    Scott (and anyone else who is hooked in with Dish), Is there any word on when the next firmware update might drop?

    The (un)OFFICIAL missed recordings thread

    I had a couple of recordings that were half done (get halfway through the show and it just skips to the end, DVR shows correct duration). Chalked that up to the experience others are also having. Then something weird happened. My DVR was set up to record the season finale of American Idol on...

    No sound

    Got a call from my wife yesterday noting that there was absolutely no sound coming from the TV and/or receiver - walked her through settings, with no luck. Came home from work, verified that all was connected properly, no muting, correct inputs active - still no sound. Rebooted the 922 (red...

    Channel Logos

    Mine (2006 Sony KDL-40S2000) only has -1 and -2 picture size options, both of which make it worse. There's no "dot-for-dot" option like on other sets. So, I'm hoping that Dish come out with a way to adjust size as well as position!

    Anyway to Stop VOD downloads ?

    Enough of the lawsuits already - Dish can buy the hard drive, the hard drive can buy TiVo, and everyone will be happy, right? :D

    Remote Plus

    WOW. That was one of my more stupid moments - yes, indeed, I meant Record Plus.

    Remote Plus

    What is the purpose of Remote Plus? Is it just to say that recordings, by default, go to the chosen tuner unless already recording? If disabled, does that effectively mean I can only record one program at a time? Or is this a null feature until later software releases? I apologize in advance...

    922 Remote viewing bandwidth requirement

    According to the the web site, you need 1.5Mbps downstream, 150-600Kbps upstream, and 3Mbps for HD streaming (that's expressed as "LAN bandwidth", not an upstream/downstream figure, and that would seem to imply something different for WAN bandwidth, but OK)...
