    Ensuring the "HD for life" thing?

    Okay, here's my situation. I've had Dish for 10+ years. Last year, I decided I wanted to finally upgrade my equipment and get HD programming, so I got that taken care of; I didn't opt to do autopay/ paperless billing at the time, because I was taking the Dish America package, which included HD...

    I take it there's no way I can fix this, huh?

    Last October, I finally upgraded my (then 10+ year old) equipment for HD programming. The main box is a VIP222K that is connected to the main HDTV in the living room and up until a day ago, the SD TV in my bedroom. Thing is, on the SD TV, even when I was watching the SD channels, it appeared...

    UHD?

    I'm just curious, what packages is UHD (channel 366) a part of?

    View mode?

    I have a Duo 222k and it seems to be stuck in "stretch" viewing mode, so things on the edge of the screen get cut off. I can't figure out how to change it with the remote, though. Any advice?

    Any way to change picture size?

    I recently got a Duo 222 receiver, and it's hooked up to my HDTV in one room, and my standard TV in another room. The other day, while watching the SD TV, I noticed the picture seemed "bigger" than my TV. What I mean is, it's like a certain amount of the picture has been cut off at the edges. I...

    I'm still confused about Duo receiver boxes...

    I'm going to be getting new equipment this weekend, and as I understand it, the Duo receiver boxes work for two TVs. The thing I'm not understanding, though, is how is the secondary TV controlled and operated? For example, I have an HDTV in the living room, and a standard def TV in a room...

    Could use some advice, ASAP...

    Here's the situation. My household has had Dish for about ten years. Our equipment has never been upgraded, and we were paying about $80 a month for channels we don't need, and without HD, at that. My dad decided to cancel our service because it was just getting to be too much. I, however, want...

    Question about newer receiver boxes...

    My family has had Dish Network for, like, ten years now, but we haven't upgraded any of our equipment since then. We now have an HDTV, and it'd be nice to get HD programming, but of course this means having to upgrade all of our equipment as well. I'm curious, though, because looking at the...

    SiriusXM radio?

    I'm curious... My Dish package allows me to listen to SiriusXM radio; so, does that count as a subscription to SiriusXM, or is that somehow separate? Just to clarify, the reason I ask is, I have mobile devices (smartphone, iPod Touch) that it'd be kinda neat to be able to listen to SiriusXM on...

    Upgrading...

    I've had Dish Network for about ten years, now. I've never upgraded anything (so I still have the same boxes from ten years ago, and SD programming). Last year, I finally got a new HDTV, and I've been curious about upgrading my programming to HD (and also downgrading to a lesser package, so...
