    My guide changed color?

    Doh! I'm an idiot. One of my component cables was loose (the blue one). Was watching a dark movie, so the picture looked pretty normal, but boy was the guide different. Then a bright scene came on in the movie and it suddenly all made sense. Thanks for trying to help and sorry to everyone who...

    My guide changed color?

    So forgive me if this is a stupid question, I did try and search before posting, but today my guide and menu, etc. are green. Before they were blue and orange. Was there a system update that did this? I do have an 18 month old who likes to play with remotes. It's possible she changed something...

    Open Letter To Senator Boxer Regarding Dish Network & V-Chip Technology

    I am glad you sent that letter. I'm not really worried about V Chip issues, but if there is a law that can change the fact that DISH is screwing me out of 6.00 a month, then I'm all for it being enforced. If you've been following the new DTV PAL OTA tuner they are about to start selling...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I just used the online chat to make the switch. Was quoted $40.97 +tax. I have one VIP622, so it was 29.99 +5.00 locals + 5.98 DVR fee. Also got the cinemax for a penny deal without any problems, even though I had cinemax up until late November or early December. Took a screen capture of the...

    Vote For Dish....

    "The TR-50 also sports a 7-day electronic program guide (using over-the-air metadata on the digital band)" I KNEW they were ripping me off when they told me there was no way to get program guide data unless I paid for locals through the satellite!

    Will my old equipment work?

    Thanks for all the info. I knew if I leased a second box there would be a fee, but I was hoping if I owned the box, I could avoid it. (on the web site when I went through the pricing, they called it a LEASE fee). Basically I want a second box in my bedroom to turn on for twenty minutes each...

    Will my old equipment work?

    I'm thinking of switching to DirecTV from Dish. I was a DirecTV subscriber many years ago, and I still have some old receivers. I will be getting an HD DVR from DirecTV, but for my second tv, I was wondering if my old receiver would work. I have a Mitsubishi SR-SD1 DirecTV Plus receiver. My...

    Program Guide For Voom Problem

    I seem to remember back in the old days when Voom was a DBS, they had similar programming practices. Some channels would have 2 or 3 movies a day that repeated in a loop all day. The next day would be two new movies. They eventually switched to the type of schedules we're now used to seeing...

    New "CHILLER" channel - Do you think Dish will carry it?

    I just saw a commercial for Chiller on Sleuth. At the end was a tagline on the screen that said "Only on DirecTV". So I guess we won't see it on Dish. Not right away anyway.

    Kung Fu HD Program data

    Is it just me or is everyone missing program info for Kung Fu HD and Family HD channels? I can't find info on zap2it listings either, so I assume it is the same for everyone. Does this happen a lot? I'm pretty new to Dish, so I wouldn't know if it is a common problem. I was a Voom customer...

    Raleigh HD Locals

    I was told when I signed up w/dish that they would have Raleigh HD locals in 2 weeks....But that was three weeks ago! I'm getting pretty good OTA reception though, so I'm not complaining.

    Considering TWC...have questions need answers

    I did get the hd dvr. It's allright. It's great to have a dvr again, I had one with directv before voom. Their program guide could use some improvement, though. You can't program out the channels you don't get / don't watch, so you have to scroll through all the channels to see what's on. Also...

    Considering TWC...have questions need answers

    Richard, I'm in raleigh, and I just recently switched to tw from voom. I had cable several years ago and my quality was terrible, so I was a little worried. Turns out that when they came to install, the installer realized that my feed from the pole was split with a two way splitter with my...
