    Smithsonian HD dropped and replaced with Crime & Investigation HD

    Good grief, I was just watching the "Monkee" story on Smithsonian last nite for a bit.. had admired the quality of the channel with a lot of the other programming.. and like others have said, seems like this C & I is a poor substitue... perhaps its just a coincidence that C & I was already...

    I am fed up with 622 rebooting 3 times a day!

    I had that 622 constant rebooting problem when the installer put it in back in Mar, then it calmed down.. they (as usual) didn't have another one in the truck. So they being obviously confused by it , even suggesting that using a power strip could cause it ( yeah, right) and just talked their...

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    HD sound drops out I have a 211 using optical connector... I noticed sound on VOOM HD channels would sporadically drop out for a split second on more than one channel. I have had no dropping out from regular programs or my DVD player. Has anyone had just audio problems with the 211? (mine...

    Any reason to get a Dish 1000?

    1000 anybody have a link to what a 1000 looks like?... I thought it was a dish with 3 LNBs on it.... I told Dish I didn't want two dishes when I upgrade to HD, when they put together the order, the computer said Dish 1000.

    Noise when recording from 322

    Anyone heard of or had this problem? I don't have a DVR, but a two channel model 322. To record a program I either use my computer with media xp or a conventional vcr. All of a sudden I am noticing a wierd herringbone type pattern on the recorded material only. (or if the signal passes thru...

    Vip222 vs Vip221

    Since I am new to Dish since July, I was going to be able to get an HD upgrade offer back in fall. When I called in early Dec to ask about getting the HD, I had found out about the new mpeg 4 coming and csr finally agreed I might as well "wait" till Feb.

    Vip222

    What I am wondering, if they will let us take a 211 while we wait...only reason I see making us wait is to force us into a 622. They tried to do that with the 625 when I signed up last July. I tried it and didn't like it, discovered I could record shows (and internally edit & burn a DVD with my...

    NEW DishHD web site found! (And now it's gone)

    vip222 OUCH!..waiting till summer for a vip 222 rots. It sounds like they will "get" me for a 622 then. I am halfway through the first year "commitment" with a 322 using my computer with Media sfwr to record and make dvds off TV1. I have had my new HD front proj for 2 months now, and...

    NEW DishHD web site found! (And now it's gone)

    vip222 not mentioned Well, by the looks of that website, anyone wanting the 222 is going to have a long wait, its not even mentioned. Guess they are trying to focus mfg on 622's first and sell those first. Doubt they would let us get the 211 first and "trade it in" when the 222's are...

    Current Dish Sub's plan for 2/1

    And then there is the mystery of the vip 222 dual rec'r which some of us want. If they aren't going to be available for a long time, they should give us a 211 and exchange it later. fat chance. Guessing the reason the 222 won't be available as soon as the 622 is that they are focusing mfg...

    I called in also and found the CSR's seem to have a lot less info than we do, that's for sure!. I asked about the availibility of the VIP222 which is what I would be interested in. As Scott has said the vip 222's may not be avail till June! They know nothing about it. I suggest any of us...
