    HBO/Cinemax Free Preview

    I believe I got a message in my D* mail that there is a free preview for HBO/Cinemax this weekend. There is a free preview, but most of these channels were grayed out in the guide, leaving only a handful of channels that you could actually watch. Did others experience the same thing...

    When does D* offer HD locals for channels that have recently upgraded to HD?

    KDOC (Orange County -- Southern California) has recently upgraded their broadcasts to HD. How long does it normally take for D* to begin carrying the HD broadcasts? They have a Mexican station in HD, so I figure they should carry KDOC, especially since they carry a number of the Anaheim Ducks...

    Disappearing data from movie info

    I have had D* only since 1/24/11, but on at least 3 occasions I have noticed that the movie ratings (1-5 stars) have disappeared for hours from the movie information (info button while in program guide). This data is normally found to the right of the movie year on the info screen. I have...

    What happened to Ducks/Sabres on CI 12/21/10?

    This game is broadcast by MSGB (Buffalo) according to ESPN.com, but is not on CI tonight. I know Dish has been in dispute (for years?) with MSG, but we have still always gotten the MSG broadcasts on CI, albeit always in crappy SD. So, is MSGB part of MSG? Is this a problem with CI or Dish...

    HD channels on SD receiver?

    I know this is probably a dumb question, but the topic search engine didn't help me and I don't trust a Dish CSR to give me the right answer. If you are subscribed to an HD package, can you get these HD channels on an SD receiver? I am thinking about adding an SD receiver for an extra...

    No HD for Sabres/Bruins on CI tonight

    I guess Dish has done it again. I assume NESN is broadcasting the game tonight in HD (they do all their regular season home games, so the playoff games should be in HD). But we have 2 HD versions of the Chicago/Nashville game tonight! What a farce...

    CI Screw-ups - are they Dish's fault?

    On Wednesday, 4/7, the Columbus at Detroit game was broadcast in HD according to the announcers, but was shown on Dish CI in SD only. There were only 5 games scheduled, so there should have been plenty of broadband available to accomodate any games broadcast in HD. On Thursday, 4/8, Versus...

    What happened to CI games 3/29?

    Of 5 games played on 3/29, Versus has one and CI has only 2 of the remaining 4. The 2 not shown on CI are Atlanta/Carolina (Atlanta 2 points out of a playoff spot) and Nashville/Florida (Nashville fighting to hold on to a playoff spot). I know the Atlanta game is televised because they were...

    Missing Center Ice channels 3/16/10

    There were 3 channels that were not broadcasting on 3/16/10 -- 630 (Toronto/Ottawa), 631 (Phoenix/Tampa Bay) and 635 (Philadelphia/Nashville). At first, there was a picture for about 5 seconds and then nothing. Later on, there was just nothing. I think they came back on after about 2 hours...

    NHL Center Ice cuts off Buffalo/Carolina game

    I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the Buffalo/Carolina game 2/5/10 was cut off with 1:33 minutes left with Carolina leading 4-3. It immediately went to the Dish logo and the elevator music. The game was timed for 4:30 to 8:30 (PST) and cut off before 7:00 (PST). I didn't call Dish...

    Several HD channels freezing

    Has anyone experienced HD channels freezing for a few seconds and then moving on to the next frozen picture? I have several channels doing this over the last hour. Channels include NHL, HDNET Movies, Tennis and Cinemax plus many others. The sound is unbroken, but the picture does not...

    World Junior hockey championship-- not on NHL Network?

    The NHL Network has been broadcasting the World Junior hockey championships over the past week -- great coverage and great games. The final game for the world championship between Canada and Sweden is scheduled for today, 1/05/09 at 7:30 pm EST. According to the Dish guide this game will...

    VS/Golf now 2 seperate HD channels

    Versus has been advertising that they now have HD full time which means that there will have to be a seperate Golf channel. So far this hasn't happened on Dish. Anyone heard when Dish plans to do so?

    SD NHL Playoffs on Versus

    I was disappointed (again!) to see that Versus had last night's NHL playoff game (Stars/Sharks) in glorious SD only. They chose to have a repeat of the day's activities of a second level (not a major) golf tournament in HD, relegating the NHL playoff game to SD. It really irks me that the...

    HD Receiver for Analog TV

    I'm sure this topic has been touched on before, but I had no idea where I might find it. I have the HD Only package. Two of my TV's (one is analog tube-type) are serviced by a 622 HD DVR. I get the HD channels on both TV's -- digital and analog. The third receiver is non-HD. The non-HD...

    ESPN baseball PQ quality

    ESPN has had a bad start to the baseball season. With the Yankee/Bluejay rainout, they were forced to show the Tigers/Royals. This was on FSN Detroit and inexplicately was not in HD (opening day game in SD??? C'mon!!!). Then this game went into extra innings which meant ESPN couldn't catch...

    Masters in HD today!! (Friday 4/6/07)

    For all those watching the Masters on USA today, it is on CBS -- channel 2 in L.A -- in HD! The commentary says it is the Masters on USA. The guide says "As the World Turns" for channel 2 and this is what is on the SD channel, but the HD channel has the Masters. Too bad Dish can't let us...

    Dish cut off Center Ice game prior to completion

    Dish cut off the CI game on channel 541 in the middle of the 3rd period on 1/29/07. The picture just froze and the Dish logo, along with the customary elevator music, appeared. I called technical service and they couldn't help. They suggested I email my inquiry/complaint through the web...

    OLN status

    I know the previous OLN thread got a little rambunctious and was consequently closed. However, believe it or not, there are a lot of hockey fans at Dish (also some bullriding fans, I guess) who are interested in the status of OLN negotiations, especially with the playoffs coming soon and no...

    the honeymoon is over...

    I am just completing the 3 month promotional period with Dish. I decided I would like to lease an additional standard receiver for a 3rd TV. Under the promotion, I could get 4 receivers installed free; however, now my status with Dish has been lowered to the dreaded "existing customer." I...
