    Pac-12 Network

    You would probably have to have more holes drilled unfortunately. I guess you could have it installed in the yard instead if it is possible.

    Pac-12 Network

    I think that maybe I might have to find a bar that has a Comcast feed if they don't get the Pac12 network by September 1st. Right now I am looking at only missing possible 2 U/W games due to not having the Pac12 network and unfortunately the first game with Arizona State is one of them...

    A few questions about Dish

    In todays economy, I would go with whichever one is cheaper. I was with dish for two year was having a lot of dropped signals then moved over to direct tv for two years. When I had direct tv installed their installer said that my dish installer had my dish pointed directly at a telephone pole...

    722k Newbie Questions

    Thanks for all the advise. My main problem is that while in Dual mode I am unable to record a program and watch another program at the same time on TV1. When I press "record" and then try to switch to another program it says I cannot do that in Dual mode and I have to switch to Single mode in...

    722k Newbie Questions

    A couple quick questions about my 722k receiver. Just returned to Dish Network from being with Direct for a couple of years. I choose the 722k to save me a bit of money on my monthly bill compared to the Hopper. But I am beginning to think that may it wasn't worth saving an extra $15.00 per...

    Selling receivers on Ebay - Sim Card ?

    I am going to sell two of my dish receivers on ebay. I noticed that neither receiver has a SIM card in them. I am kind of puzzeled because I though they should have SIM cards, but maybe they are not needed on these two? VIP612DVR VIP211K Please advise. Thanks.

    Search by Program Name

    Is there a way on my receiver for me to search by program name in order to find specific programs I want to watch. I can't seem to find this capability. Thanks.

    Dish or DirectTV

    If you do decide on Direct I would not go unless they install the HR24 and H24 receivers with the whole room DVR access. I got that and these two receivers are the best on the market right now. Schedule the install, make notes in the installation notes that you want them to bring the HR24 and...

    What would you guys ask for - install mistake

    Boy that is really stupid for an installer to do. That is why when my installer comes to my house I stand and watch them and ask all kinds of questions. I mean installing these things isn't exactly rocket science. Like Stonecold says, get everything written up, the pictures taken and the...

    Direct or Dish: Pricing Questions

    Not sure exactly what your asking for, your pricing you have outlined above (if it is correct is pretty much the same). Direct (after all discounts are removed) historically runs about $15. more a month than dish for the same type of packages, but I think Dish is probably closing the gap on that...

    PQ

    Just switched to Direct. I immediately noticed a higher clarity on their HD PQ on my 1080' 50 inch plasma when comparing the two. To me this is more important than anything. I only watch HD. Dish treated me very well the last 8 years. I really hated my 612 receiver and they would not replace...

    Finally canceled E* today

    I to posted over on the E* forum when I move to D* that I consider the D* PQ to be superior to E*. Boy did I get slammed on that one. I will admit that E* loyalty department treated me quite fairly when I cancelled. I was given the wrong info. from a CSR (that I had documented via the Online...

    Whole Home DVR

    Yes very important to make sure you request the Internet Connection with the MRV. I specifically requested both. Even had the CSR put the both into the installers notes. Low and behold when the installer showed up, no MRV order and no DECA order. Thank god the installer was nice enough to...

    $$ DirecTV Deal updates $$ No more HD for Life < PREMIER, $250 BB GC, $180 CostCo GC

    I agree, Dish is much better with the HD for Life offers. I am lucky that I joined before 7/21. All I have to do is maintain my autopay and keep myself in one of the choice packages. I have a feeling though that if you ever mess up your autopay you will have a hell of a time getting your HD...

    Many long time owned subs are finally leaving in droves/how to fix dish bag network

    I just switched to direct after 8 years with dish. I got the brand new HR24 and H24 receivers installed. I will say that these receivers blow my old 612 totally out of the water. There is one thing that I have notice with direct. The picture quality is better than dish. I don't know why...

    Moved to Directv from Dish Network

    I moved to dish for one reason only MVR. I was with dish for 8 years. A few pros and cons of my move so far. Pros: Installer recognized a problem with my dish location pointing directly at a telephone pole. (no wonder I kept having loss of signal with dish). My new HR24 blows my old 612 dvr...

    Just Switched To Direct - Formatting ? and Oline Schedule ?

    Thanks for the good advise Elwaylite. I will definately give this a try. Sounds like with NATIVE on and 480 and 720 blocked on the receiver all 720p channels will be upscaled by DVR and 1080i channels upscaled by the TV. The difference of upscaling a 720p signal and 1080i signal does make...
