    Picture squished on SD output (TV2) on VIP722

    Some people are calling this "squashing" a bug, but it is actually a good thing! For a 16x9 TV2, the signal is sent as a 4:3 image on channel 4 (or whatever). Since you're using analog channel output from the satellite box to TV2, you can only have 4:3. But, your new TV2 is a 16:9 TV... you...

    1000.4 plus 119 and 110?

    I believe that this is the same situation my friend needs in order to get Lexington, KY locals in HD and Dish Latino Max channels. Right now she sees 110, 119, and 61.5, but our HD locals are over on 77. They told her today that she'd need to see 5 satellites and that they can't do it...

    Euronews

    Well, after another call and an online chat, I've been told that it is no longer available a la carte (at $1.99/mo), and that it is available in "a package that costs $19.99". Oh well, guess I won't be ordering Euronews. It's a shame, too. I really liked that channel. -matt

    Euronews

    I enjoyed the Euronews (English) free preview at the start of 2010 (chan 900 / 901). So, I called today to find out how to add it for $1.99 to my programming. I expected them to tell me that I needed a new dish, blah blah blah. Instead, they told me that it is only available in the Brazilian...

    DISH Partners with NBC for Olympics Coverage

    I can't figure this out either. I have EA 1000.4, 722k, and my DishHome just shows the 6 simultaneous screens. Nothing looks like the screen shots shown at dishnetwork.com/vancouver. Weird. -matt

    ESPN CLASSIC

    Oh. Looks like it was about a year ago. Lots of chatter about "ESPN Classic to become ESPN3?" because they got the rights to air EPL. Is ESPN Classic About to Become ESPN3? -- Soccer FanHouse -m

    What ever happened to the rumor that ESPN Classic was going to change into a dedicated ESPN Soccer channel? -m

    ESPN2 gone from OPCION PREMIER

    ESPN2 has now disappeared from my "Opcion Premier" package. I was watching soccer on ESPN2 just last week, and now, 721. ESPNU, Current and ESPN Classic disappeared earlier this year. In ALL cases, D* never notified me that they were removing the channels, nor were they "helpful" when...

    I have a system configuration problem Houston

    1) Do the DVD recorder and VCR contain an ATSC tuner? If not (and I doubt they do), you will not be able to pick up digital channels from your antenna with the tuners in these devices. 2) You don't mention what the three cables out of the box are, but I'm guessing they're analog audio (red +...

    Receiver Activation/Deactivation

    Also... Be aware of them marking it as a "leased" receiver when you re-activate. It seems to be a bit of a pain to convince them that it's not a lease, but it can be done. -EdGrimley

    Court tv?

    I would just LOVE it if we could pay Dish for the channels we WANT and not be forced to also buy channels we never watch. I dream of a day when a la carte is a reality.... I always wake up. EdGrimley

    XM Holiday channels, A Nashville Christmas

    Check out the XM holiday schedule at xmradio(dot)com/holiday and you'll see that, "For the holidays, A Nashville Christmas will temporarily replace Luna." Luna is a "Latin" channel, so that's why it's only available to Para Todos subscribers. I agree that the end result is a little odd, but I...

    Logo?

    Para Todos I, for one, have just emailed DirecTV asking that LOGO please be added to the Para Todos programming packages. It looks like there will be some decent programming, and I don't want to switch back to Total Choice... EdGrimley
