    activating external hard drive

    Thanks for the quick response. I connected the device, followed the onscreen instructions, the receiver rebooted itself, but I see no evidence(increased recording time, etc.) of the external drive in the menu options. How do I know if the installation was successful? Thanks, Dave

    How much does the Welcome Package cost?

    I made the switch to the Welcome Package and, while I get the HD local channels( example, channel 10 and channel 10HD), I don't get an HD picture with the channel. I get the black bars on the side. HD sample channels like the Sony Movie Channel are in full HD. Is there a reason for this?

    How much does the Welcome Package cost?

    Hi, I currently have the America's Top200 package with the Blockbuster@Home 1 disc deals and DVR service. I have an HDDVR receiver. My hours at work were cut in half and I was wondering if I would be able to change my package to the Welcome package? If so, could I still pay the $10.00 a...

    DISH HD Information

    I wonder if the document isn't yet posted on the Dish website because they are still trying to negotiate deals on some of the HD channels? I was "chatting" with a Dish CSR on their asking and was inquiring about whether the MSNBC HD channel was part of the Team Silver package. She confirmed...

    DISH HD Information

    Can other people also confirm this? I just want to make sure it's not a fluke. I was about to change my Dish service from America's Top 200 to Dish America Silver, but will reconsider if MSNBC is not part of the package. Is it part of the Dish America Gold package? Also, if you get any of the...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I just got off the phone with a CSR and said upfront that I needed the 1000.4 dish. We still ran a series of tests and jumped through hoops to establish that I wasn't getting any of the missing HD channels. A technician is coming by tomorrow to install the new dish. Hopefully all will go well...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    The CSR I spoke with yesterday pretty much said that I was unable to get these channels because I was on the Eastern Arc. (I live Southeast of Boston, MA) It seems like they just wanted to avoid having to come down and install an extra dish.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I did some more research about the HD channels I'm missing. In addition to the HD channels I'm missing in the Platinum package like Indieplex, Retroplex, Epix 1&2, and Short Films, I'm also missing the HD channels I should be getting with my America's Top 200 channels like BBC America, E...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I shot off a letter to their tech support department detailing the problem. The 5 or 6 channels I'm not getting are the best ones for film fans and if I can't get those then I'll get rid of the Platinum HD package. Thanks, Dave

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Right now, I have 2 Dishes hooked up:A Super Dish, and a Dish Network 500. Would I need another dish, the 1000.4 dish I've read about in order to get the missing Platinum HD channels(Epix, Retroplex, etc.) or would the exisiting dishes I have now need to be repointed? Thanks again, Dave

    System Info Status question

    I do pay the $5.99 fee. In people's opinion, is it something I should just wait until something goes wrong before I have it checked out, or should I just go ahead and have it checked out right away? So far, everything seems to be fine. What exactly does LNB drift mean and how can it affect my...

    Lost HDMI picture with 622

    The 622 was working fine until tonight when I turned on the TV and discovered I had no picture with the HDMI cable. It's no picture at all times with the HDMI cable. I tried using a different HDMI cable, doing a soft and hard reboot, but to no avail. I spoke to an HD tech and they were no help...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    I pretty much have the same problem. The tech told me the problem wasn't with the box, but was a software issue and that they are working on it. My 622 was running perfectly during the last couple of days, but it happened again earlier tonight. Did this by chance happen while you were...
