    NBC's Premier League Live Extra Time

    I don't know whether those games will be on the app, but you should be aware that the app (at least for iPad) is terrible. More than once the games that were on NBC Sports were not available (Sounders game a few weeks back was listed as "upcoming" even after it had started, never became...

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I noticed that ESPNEWS (ch. 142) is no longer the SD-feed. The channel is SD, but they're actually displaying the HD-feed so you get black bars all around and a small picture b/c of the 16/9 aspect ratio shoehorned into the 4x3 SD display. Makes reading the ticker kinda hard from across the...

    Happy Anniversary to DIRT

    Kudos +1 and Thanks. DIRT helped me replace a bum 612 and haven't had any issues since. Thx!

    612 Freezing getting tiresome

    A new 612 is on its way. Thanks to MattG for great customer service! Having DIRT on this board is a wonderful asset. And an extra thanks to Matt (and to those up the ladder who got the program going) for seeing the value in providing customer service outside the standard channels of phone and chat.

    612 Freezing getting tiresome

    I have a 612 on our upstairs TV that seems to freeze about 4-5 times each week. It automatically restarts per the schedule (in the afternoon so it doesn't wake me up) but we have to do a hard restart (holding down the power button) quite regularly. My 622 downstairs is rock solid (have maybe...

    New software for 612

    Got my update and noticed a few things moved around (including CC), but otherwise seems stable. Hopefully this will make the freezes disappear, or at least reduce in frequency. (I've been hard-rebooting it because it locks-up/freezes probably 3 or 4 times a week lately).

    DISH Network Software Release Notes 9/30/10

    Me too. We have folders for each family member and in those there end up being folders, so we're two deep. Click on info on one of the shows and when "Done" it always goes back to the very top - a real PITA!

    EHD Problems

    I had a CSR "re-hit" both the 612 and the 622 and the drive is showing up on the 612 and working just great. However, I still have nothing on the 622 ("No device connected.") Since the EHD is working just fine on the 612, I'm afraid that something's screwy with the 622's ability to read it (bad...

    EHD Problems

    Thanks for all the suggestions - I'm on vacation now but will give them a try when I return - especially the "re-hit" to the 612 so that I can at least access the files on that receiver. Thx.

    EHD FAQ?

    Are you sure about 612 vs. 622? I just tried it (from 622 to 612) and I got an error that it could only be used by one receiver at a time and I could reformat for the 612. A Dish CSR chat said that the model numbers had to be the same. I'd LOVE to be wrong...

    EHD Problems

    I have a Seagate Freeagent EHD that has been working fine. As has been posted in other threads, this drive spins down and the 622 doesn't recognize it. My solution to this (as I use it very infrequently) has been to just unplug the USB and then plug it back in. So far, so good - this has always...

    Who is to blame for program info?

    This issue is particularly bad for kids' TV shows that are on many many many times a day. My "New Episodes" for iCarly is going to record 50 episodes in the next week because every one of them has the generic description, no original air date, and no episode number. Setting a weekly timer for...

    Picture artifacts on Rescue me

    The issue from the OP (and me too) is not that it's artistically grainy or not (Battlestar Galactica had this for sure), but that it fluctuates quickly between being grainy and being clear/clean, especially on skin tones. This is a PQ issue that is affecting certain shows on certain networks -...

    Picture artifacts on Rescue me

    Yes! I thought I was the only one. I noticed it on last week's Rescue Me (haven't watched yet this week). I also noticed this for shows on Fox (KCPQ13 here in Seattle) but figured it was a local channel issue. And until Rescue Me, Fox was the *only* place I saw it. It's probably not a...

    ESPN classic now green in my guide ?

    Just to be clear, while some of those may be ONLY in the Multi-Sport Package, according to this: America's Top 200 Package - Over 200 Channels From DISH Network the NFL Network is still part of AT200 (and AT250). Any reason to think the same thing that happened to ESPN Classic will happen to NFL...

    KCPQ-13 Seattle (FOX) fuzzy picture

    Thanks for the note, but just to confirm, my problem is happening on the DISH version of KCPQ, not OTA. Is it what you're talking about (putting in a FM trap) only in the case of OTA? I would be all for changing back to UHF - that always worked just perfectly.

    KCPQ-13 Seattle (FOX) fuzzy picture

    Has anyone else noticed a particularly bad PQ on KCPQ-HD from Dish? Up until KCPQ switched to VHF (boo!) after the digital switchover, I've had to get my feed from Dish and not OTA. What I've noticed is that the picture seems to "pulse" from nice and sharp to fuzzy/full of compression...

    Dish Remote Access not working (new router)

    Thanks - you were right, but I couldn't wait :-). I reset the 622 (power off) and when it came back, Remote Access was working again. Not sure why that would make a difference when everything in the menus was saying that it was online... Oh well, it's back.

    Dish Remote Access not working (new router)

    I just replaced a D-Link 655 router with an Airport Extreme and in the process have lost my access to my receiver through dish.sling.com. According to my 622, the connection is fine - it got its IP address, it tells me it's connected, and when I do a connection test it says "Broadband OK."...

    New(?) locals in HD for Seattle

    Maybe this has been around for awhile, but I just noticed that KONG-16 and KMYQ-22 are in HD from Dish here in Seattle. What's interesting things about this is that these are not any of the big networks. KONG is a sister station to the local NBC affiliate (KING-5), but itself is not affiliated...

    722k and internet connection

    +1 for the online scheduling. Use that quite frequently.

    Just got an LCD in the bedroom - what receiver?

    If you can live without a 722 in the bedroom, you can get a 612 and that doesn't require a phone or broadband connection.

    Cinemax For a Penny

    Will those of us who have it continue to get it indefinitely, or does it (can it) expire?

    NFL Redzone Free this Sunday...

    I may watch the preview, but more importantly, if you buy into this, is it in HD? I can't imagine paying for it in SD...

    Retailer Chat Recap: September 23, 2009

    Can you access the receivers that are not hooked up to broadband via dish.sling.com? Do they get their own unique (LAN) IP address?
