    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Is there a comparison somewhere between Dish America (lowest package) and AT100? I'm wondering if that would be a better deal than what Customer Retention just switched me to. Anyway, I went from Dish Absolute to: Top 120 Free HD for life HD Platinum free for 1 year $15 a month reduction for 12...

    TV2 - Is Composite better than RF?

    Wonder if the quality would be as good as an RG-6 composite cable? Sound easier to run anyway, can you share what connectors you used and where you got them?

    TV2 - Is Composite better than RF?

    SD looks pretty good off air, SD over RF from the 722 is not nearly as good however and I'm just wondering if SD via composite would be better. I have a spool of 3ghz copper conductor RG-6 and compression tools. Think I can find an RCA compression fitting and make my own RG-6 composite cable if...

    TV2 - Is Composite better than RF?

    I'm not expecting it to match the HD I get from the HDMI connection, just trying improve TV2 output when I have to use it. So I should expect at least a noticeable improvement from RF to Composite? Any advantage to RG-6 over premade RG-59 at the 40ft range? Thanks.

    TV2 - Is Composite better than RF?

    My primary TV in the Living Room, is hooked to our Dish 722 receiver via component cables. We used to have a 27" CRT in the Bedroom, that was hooked up via RG-6 coax on the 722's RF connection. The CRT was recently replaced by a 37" 1080p LCD set. I purchased a 40ft HDMI cable and its...

    Will my Old ConUS Local Channels stay on Spotbeams now?

    Ok, I "moved" back to my local market which includes the Springfield, MO locals. Unfortunately it appears that my two Springfield HD locals are on the 77 Satellite and my 1000.2 dish only gets the 110, 119 and 129. I'm confused as to why these channels aren't on the 129. Dish Tech Support...

    Will my Old ConUS Local Channels stay on Spotbeams now?

    I'm getting all the Springfield network locals in HD on OTA now, but will miss the Dish KC locals during football season. They frequently get games Springfield doesn't so I had more to choose from. Is the new Ciel-II Sat going to replace the current 129?

    Will my Old ConUS Local Channels stay on Spotbeams now?

    I "moved" to the Kansas City MO area over a year ago for their Dish HD locals, since at that time no Dish locals in my area were HD, and not all my OTA's were HD either. I'm about 180 miles from the KC area, and a short time ago those locals stopped working. Looking at the channel list for...

    My 18mo commitment should be up in March, if they force me to something more expensive I'll be looking at the competition.

    Looks like anything that includes all the channels in Absolute would be more expensive! :(

    HD Only Subscriber - Do new HD Packages Affect Me?

    Also, if you have "moved" and have to "move" back temporarily for a receiver failure is that considered a change to my account that would cause me to lose HD Absolute?

    HD Only Subscriber - Do new HD Packages Affect Me?

    Looking at the Turbo packages it appears I would lose channels I now have unless I paid more money. They won't let me stay on Absolute HD after Feb 09?

    HD Only Subscriber - Do new HD Packages Affect Me?

    In late February 2008, I converted my programming to the HD Only package. My bill currently shows it as: DishHD Absolute with Locals - 34.99 Dish Network DVR Service Fee - 5.98 With Dish changing their HD programming again, will I get to keep this package? If not what will it convert...

    Timers for Hallmark Preview - Gone Again!

    I have setup timers three times, to record shows from the free preview of the Hallmark channel (185) only to have them disappear. The timers I have for other shows that are a regular part of the HD Standalone package I'm on, all stay when this happens. Until recently I had AT100 and Dish...

    Wast put on the HD Standalone pkg two days ago (from AT100/HD ultimate) and I can't find GolfHD or VSHD anywhere in any guide on the 722. What channel numbers are these? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    In late August or early September of 2007 I paid $199 up front to upgrade from a 811 to a 722. I currently have AT100 DVR advantage and HD Ultimate. I'm still getting a promotion of $10 off for 10 months on the HD (bill shows 4 of 10mo.). I think my upgrade included an 18mo. commitment that...

    Is a DVD Recorder compatible with the 622 receiver?

    I record programs to DVD quite a bit, I have the recorder attached to the TV2 composite output. In dual mode, I can start a program playing from DVR on TV2 then watch a TV1 program while its recording. The SVideo output on TV1 is technically a bit better than composite but I doubt you'd ever...

    811 is driving me nuts!

    On my 811 this happened if I watched OTA for very long. An hour or so of OTA and no problems, but if I left it on OTA overnight then a reboot or possibly a complete repower of the box would be required to fix it. I paid $199 up front to upgrade to the 722 then got the $100 rebate applied...

    811 to 722 install tomorrow...

    I did an 811 to 722 upgrade in September, $200 up front then $100 rebate and the HD free for six months. Just sold my owned 811 on fleabay for $72 plus shipping. Your going to love the 722, there is no comparison to the 811 in any way.
