    Sick of the Disputes

    Hey crodrules, do you really think HBO/AT&T negotiated fairly? How long will it be before DISH calls it quits? And then there will be one. So sad for the little guy. But I've always rooted for the underdog.

    Sick of the Disputes

    Here's what i suggest. Get rid of those designated market area's. I would like see DISH's lawyers take it as far as the SCOTUS. If DISH and it's customer's must pay for local programing, then I as the consumer, should have the ability to choose whatever the hell local I'd like to watch, even if...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    Isn't that a bitch you have to go through all of the screens to get to autotune! I'd be nice to have that option right at the record or autotune button.

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    My VIP's didn't come with any cards, Dish said that they were internal. I called Dish one day, inquiring about the ala cart packages that they were offering some time ago and they said that I would need to add cards in order to receive those packages. I wasn't thinking that I'd go that route...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    So far, the VIP's are still providing the DVR recordings as is my dinosaur 501. I have that hooked to an older tv in my shop that has the S-Video and RCA jacks. Still have an 8 track that works too! Have to be careful with the cassettes though, the rubberized pinch wheels have completely...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    Rather than going to all of that trouble, I'm going to run a hdmi cable to my TV's from the VIP's as a secondary video source. I have made a list of the video's on each VIP, so I know what's there and can simply plug them in if I want to see those video's. Since I have the the extra hdmi ports...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    Good afternoon Tampa8, if I go the route of turning the VIP's into EX HD's, it's my understaning that I have to pay a 1 time fee for that ability. Do you know if that's the case and do you have to pay for each unit? I'd rather just transfer the video's from the VIP's to the Hopper and have them...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    I did have the 2 VIP's and the Hopper with 3 Joey's on one account. My 2 501's and a 301 are still on our equipment list too. Now we have 2 Hopper's w/Sling and 3 Joey's on our account. The VIP's and the Hopper were not in used at the same time. When we traveled to our winter home, I simply...

    Dishnetwork Hopper or VIP612

    Newbie alert! We have been Dish customers since 1997 and currently are still using the 612. In fact, two 612's that are working flawlessly and still providing great video. We have two homes, one that is set up with the Hopper w/sling (3 tuner) and this one, with the 612's. We used to pack up and...
