    Error code 890-Wrong connection for SyFy, other channels

    I appreciate the informative explanations. But, none of this copy rite protection motive makes much sense. First, it is supposedly copy rite protected only if the digital HDMI connection is used on a non-compatible/older TV, right? But many people say there is not much difference in video...

    Error code 890-Wrong connection for SyFy, other channels

    I think you have it summed up about right, skierrob. I would think there are a lot of other DISH customers that are in the same situation as me. This has been the situation for me for about 6 weeks now and DISH doesn't seem to be in a hurry to address this issue. Maybe this is difficult to...

    Error code 890-Wrong connection for SyFy, other channels

    I'm just going on what the DISH tech support guy who said it was a software issue. He seemed to be quite certain of his statement. Besides, if my TV (2008 Panasonic) wasn't HDCP compliant, why do I receive the stations on my large screen when I remove the HDMI connection from the receiver? If...

    Error code 890-Wrong connection for SyFy, other channels

    I want to thank all of you for your interest and suggestions. What I didn't mention before....because I didn't want to confuse the matter....is that I have an HDMI cable running back to my bedroom connected to a 2nd TV. And that if I had this 2nd TV turned on, I could access these blocked...

    Error code 890-Wrong connection for SyFy, other channels

    For about a month I have not been able to receive about 6 or 7 channels, including SyFy and Bravo. I get a pop-up screen/error code 890 about the digital connection to this TV does not support HDCP. I have component ("red,green,blue") connecting to the TV and never had a problem until...

    This cable has better picture than DISH

    As I said before, the DISH HD picture is not bad...it is pretty good, just not fantastic which is how I characterize my parents' picture. I am not complaining, just stating my observations. I actually had my rear projection professionally calibrated but didn't notice that much of a difference...

    This cable has better picture than DISH

    Geez, I wasn't trying to make a big issue out of this. I've read this forum for years and I know some of you are set about your opinions. Did you carefully read what I said? I do my homework. So, for those still skeptical, here is more info. I have HDMI to my TV and my BR DVD. I used to...

    This cable has better picture than DISH

    I have had DISH for several years. No complaints. But for the past 3 years, I have noticed my parents' TV picture seemed to be better than mine. They live in a relatively small town in KY and they have cable (provided by Frankfort Water and Plant Board). Not many HD channels as you would...

    L618 fixes The Beast in 1080p!

    Thanks, theoak. So, is the bluray I see on my TV displaying 1080p60, and if so, would the bluray display a better quality 1080p24 picture if I had a 1080p24 capable TV? Thanks again for the help.

    L618 fixes The Beast in 1080p!

    I've got a TH-65PZ750U and the HDMI test says 1080p60. However, I was able to download and watch The Beast with no problems, so does that mean my TV was able to deinterlace the 1080i to 1080p or was it 1080i? Also, I have watched BluRay movies so is my TV able to display 1080p24 or what? I...

    Who Has Better HD PQ Today - Dish or DirecTV?

    Thanks, msmith198025...I look forward to your report. Thanks, to the others who responded to my question. I have a 622 and live in the southeast. I've never had any drop-outs or signal strength problems, but I've heard some areas of the country benefit more from Ciel 2 than others...

    Free Tennis channel?

    Looks like Dish is offering tennis channel for everyone during the Australian Open. Don't know if they are going to show the different courts on channel 100 like they did last year for Wimbledon.

    Which HDTV is better ?

    Well, that is something to think about. Thanks for the info. I will definitely keep an eye on the 800's prices for a little while before I make a decision. By the way, does anyone have a more precise idea when the new 800s will be hitting the stores than sometime in July? Thanks.

    Which HDTV is better ?

    Of course I'm not going to pay MSRP! Sure this plasma is not priced quite as low as the DLPs, but quoting that price is misleading in order to make your point better or you never bothered to check prices. Are you sure you're not a politician?:) Thanks for the heads up, mike123abc. I knew...

    Which HDTV is better ?

    Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond to my question of best HDTV. I'm really ready for a flat screen although I know some of the DLPs rival them for picture quality. The Sony LCDs are just too expensive for me and I am used to the 65" screen. . So, for now I think I can't...

    Which HDTV is better ?

    Ok, I've been shopping for new flat panel for couple of months. I have a 65 inch rear projection Mitsubishi that is 6 years old and am ready for flat screen. I am going to get something in the next month or so. I think one of the most consistent reviews I have read for best plasma is the...

    2008 French Open Tennis Will be on DishHome

    Can someone please tell me how to access this service on channel 100? I do not see any option to select 6 courts from the French Open. I called DISH and after 20 minutes noone had a clue. Thanks!

    Quick Facts for 622 and 222

    destrada, as I questioned before (see 1-26-2006) aren't all HD over satellite, including MPEG-4, compressed to some degree so OTA will always transmit a clearer signal/picture? I've read where some could see the difference in the PQ between the two (I'm not sure I can clearly state that I can...

    Quick Facts for 622 and 222

    To SaltiDawg: I think you're right about the H20 only recording two timers at a time, at least the H10-250 can only do 2 at a time. I will check further see if I can confirm this. However, for me this is not an issue since I would rather be limited to recording 2 timers as long as they can...

    Quick Facts for 622 and 222

    DISH 622 vs DTV H20 This may not be the most appropriate place to post this reply, but I guess it is a good place to start. I currently have the 921 receiver and am thinking of upgrading to the new 622 April 1 (to get the $200 rebate). However, I have been comparing some of the features of...
