    Remote control issue

    Anyone else have this problem?? The remote for my HD box also seems to lower the volume on my surround sound receiver. Not a big deal but kind of annoying. Comcast's suggestion was to take the batteries out for 10 mins and try it again. Didn't work, like I figured it wouldn't. I tried using...

    Adios Dish....

    Well as of last Saturday, I'm no longer a Dish Network subscriber. After over a year of crappy picture quality and being told by technicians "that's just the way it is," I was tired of paying over 90 bucks a month for it. Add to that the terrible customer service, rain fade, and lack of local...

    Minimum Programming Requirement

    I upgraded to the new HD package and a 211 a few months ago. Stupid move on my part. What is the minimum programming requirement for this contract and does anyone know what the early termination fee is? I've basically had it with dish. Crappy PQ, and just now, it and craped out for now...

    Sammy TX-P2775H prog. scan issue

    Hey all. Recently I picked up a game for my PS2, God Of War. And to my delight discovered I could run the game in progressive scan mode. Now before you ask, yes I have the PS2 hooked up via Sony component cables. When I put the game in PScan mode, the picture gets almost flickery and you...

    VCR's, remember those things??

    Just wondering if anyone uses one successfully with their dish network receivers. I've got an old symphonic that I have hooked up by coax cables like the receiver manual says too. I've got the new Vip211. Problem is, it just recorded snow with some kind of line going vertically through it...

    Dish techs were just here again

    And nothing got fixed. Both guys saw what I was talking about. The guy said that right now they are running the satellite's extremely hard, and compressing the crap out of everything to make room for it all. Supposedly another satellite is going up that will handle nothing but the HD...

    HD Upgrade, have to sign new commitment?

    Haven't heard much about this and the CSR I called tonight was helpfull as usual. At least this time she admitted they didn't have all the info worked out yet. I'm wondering if upgrading to the new MPEG-4 receivers you have to sign a new 1 year commitment or something along those lines. My...

    I'm extremely happy!

    Bravo to Dish Network! $49 bucks to upgrade from an 811 to a 211. And you get installation and a new dish on top of that. Good job Dish for taking care of your customers. I'm going to call and get an appointment to get this installed ASAP. I have a feeling that with the new receivers...

    Picture Quality issues still

    A while ago I put a thread up about my picture quality issues. The general concensus was that I'm seeing the results of signal compression. However after yesterday, I think I have more than that. I was watching STTNG on G4TV. Everytime someone like Picard or Riker was in the foreground, all...

    New receivers = less compression "noise"??

    From a previous thread I put up, it seems that I have a problem with the compression "noise" in my picture. Since new receivers are on the way due to MPEG4, do you guys think this won't be as big a problem anymore, or will it get worse? It really drives me nuts.
