    questions about upgrade. My current contract has been finished for some time. This is my current setup: I have a VIP 622 in my bedroom with an external HD hooked up so I can backup recordings before I run out of space. I have VIP 211 in 3 other rooms with an external HD hooked up to...

    DISH > Do I need HOPPER ??

    My situation This thread interested me because I have been thinking about upgrading. Here is my current situation. I have a VIP 622 in my bedroom with an external HD hooked up so I can backup recordings before I run out of space. I have VIP 222 (i think) in 3 other rooms with an external...

    DISH Hopper with Sling

    How about a update to technology that allows you to view your DVR programs offline (not connected to the internet) on your phone or tablet, like Direct TV's Nomad. I will be moving in a year and a half and unless Dish makes some changes (NY Sports & Offline viewing), they will not be coming...

    PS3 in trouble

    I do mean the media bar. I don't think my girls will ever get to play anything on my PS3 as I don't like to encourage them to be in our bedroom. They dominate the rest of the house, we need one room to ourselves. They actually love to play Tiger Woods on the 360, it is the only...

    PS3 in trouble

    First, it is obvious from your post that you are not a fanboy. Second, I am a professional who works in NYC and has a 1:45 commute each way and has 5 yr old twin girls at home. Many weeks I don't even get a chance to turn on either machine, I don't care about all the little extra things you...

    PS3 in trouble

    BR HD is a nicer picture, but IMHO not that much nicer. My wife notices no difference at all. The only difference she noticed is that the BR disc cost $34.99. She also was not too happy when I told her the nanny couldn't put it on in the family room (which is the kids playroom), because it...

    PS3 in trouble

    I have both a 360 and a PS3. I keep one in the living room and one in the bedroom that I share with my wife. I have found the games library to be much superior on the 360. I will generally buy multi-platform games on the 360, unless they are M rated, in which case I buy PS3 versions, so...

    Honda Odyssey Vs. Chrysler T & C

    We just leased at 2008 T&C touring. I have always been a Honda/Acura guy, but we decided to lease a mini-van versus an SUV (Giving back my MDX in a couple of weeks). I just don't like the Odyssey. I thought that the interior of the T & C is very nice (though it could use some soft touch...

    Why are the VOOM Networks so bad?

    I like to watch the Kung Fu channel and there is NO NEW PROGRAMMING. Not only are the movies repeated many times during the day/week. I don't think they have added any new movies for the last year. I like to watch the kung fu movies that are based upon pre modern times (like the shaw...

    Dish doesnt support Marriages

    We had a similar situation recently. I have a 622, a 510 & a 310. I just purchased a plasma for the bedroom and wanted to replace the 510 (SD DVR) with an HD DVR. Of course, the only Dish HD DVRs are dual tuners. This would create 5 tuners in my household. It is not possible to connect the...
