    Reorg the 9000s!

    I know eventually this will be not relevant as they are mapping down. But I enjoy only browsing the 9000's to see HD (and not using the HD only because i don't care about NBA, NFL and PPV channels and alts...) Is there ANY chance they will reorganize the 9000s so they make some kind of...

    One Crappy/SD Alternative for Rave

    I do miss Rave, even with it's repeats it was a great channel. MHD is decent but they still lack the Soundstage library that Rave had. One show i've missed greatly has been Later... With Jools Holland. He had some great guests on and it covered a pretty wide variety of music, plus that...

    Dhpp

    I have a question about the DHPP. What does it do for me? I have a 622 (leased) and a few older receivers (owned) if any of them fail will the DHPP cover that? Can I replace my *broken* 622 with a newer unit? Does it cover faulty LNB? I'm just not sure what we pay that fee for. Also...

    I have a friend who is going to sub to E*... can I refer them? What do they get if I refer them. I think they are looking to get a free DVR and free installation (and anything else they can get as a new sub). I remember a while back there were some promotions like that. Anyone know what...

    Tomorrow's Tech Chat

    If any one can... someone ask about what's up with the 622. I'm sure it'll all be echo x talk but it'd be nice to hear some 622 answers and plans for enhancements (Video over IP / External Storage possibilities).

    Looking to Upgrade to a SD DVR...

    I'm looking to upgrade one of my OLD model 1000 E* receivers, I'd like to replace it with a DVR, are there any recommended models, I recall there was a specific model which didn't require you to plug in a phone line and they didn't charge a DVR fee (I'd prefer both because I really don't want to...

    OTA Locals & 622

    First off, I love the 622, there are a few minor bugs (which others have mentioned before here) but it is by far the best dishnetwork receiver and the best HDDVR out right now.
