    New HD Lineup on Comcast in Indy?

    I just got my cable installed here at the new place because we can't have satellite because we have no balcony or place that is part of our rental agreement/lease. Anyway, when the HD DVR was installed there is a message stating that many Comcast areas will be having the lineups of HDTV changed...

    Question: 625 Dual Mode 2 programs recording

    That is right about the disabled. It will only record on TV1 or TV2 and not roll over. So, what I have found after my experiments are: Record Plus enabled: Stays on original TV where program was set to record. Will not roll recording to 2nd tuner if not in use. Record Plus set to TV1: Will...

    Question: 625 Dual Mode 2 programs recording

    I just recently came back to DISH Network after almost 2 years of cable. All I can say is first-DISH's receivers have changed! WOW! Second, I have the 625 and have it placed in dual mode. My question: I want to record two programs at one time in this mode. How do I do this without going to TV2...

    HDMI 256 colors, Componment OK???

    I had DirecTV installed last week and everything looked fine until last night. The receiver now is sending a terrible signal to the TV. It looks blocky and like there picture is in 256 colors instead of being normal. Is there a copy protection thing happening? I have the HDMI to DVI cable...

    Echostar Tech Corp 5.0 IR Remote Code for DISH Network 40" RPTV?

    Does anybody know what code to put into the Echostar Technology Corp 5.0 IR remote to control the DISHNetwork 40" RPTV? I can't seem to get mine to work. I haven't had to use the one that came with the TV for a long time and the batteries were dead and whan I replaced them, they would not...

    Freaky guide.

    This morning I turned on my 921 and the guide was all whacked out. New font and layout. I thought at first it might just need to be rebooted. Pulled the card and it rebooted. Still the weird guide. I then tried a power-plug reboot. Still the weird guide. I am still at the same version number. I...

    No HD, Dropping my package levels

    Until DISH decides to add some more HD content at any of their satellite locations, I have decided to drop my package levels. I went down to AT120 and also dropped down to just HBO and Showtime. Are others doing this? -Wil

    Complete frustration with DISH and moving

    I just called DISH Network twice to get my service moved (previously, I have always installed my own systems). I am told that the free DISHMover program is actually $50 because I have three receivers (and one of them is the 921). I told them that I would only be taking the 921 with me as I have...

    Dish Network and Vonage

    Actually, I found that the Motorola ATA needs the middle or highest setting for bandwidth or it will not dial out properly... On my CISCO one, I did not need to set it as high to save bandwidth. You might try changing this.

    What new HD channels should Dish add?

    I would say my list is: TNT-HD Bravo-HD Starz! HD TMC HD Cinemax HD Encore HD INHD 1 and 2 In that order, too... What would that take? 3 transponders? But by then, there will be a lot more HD out there...

    Note from Dish Network to Retailers (Re Viacom)

    My question is what about those UPN stations that are owned by CBS/Viacom. Why are they not affected? Or are they? I have not had a chance to check to see if my local UPN is affected.

    CBS HD... How to get a waiver to receive it in Bloomington, Indiana?

    bloomingtong, Welcome to the boards. I am in Bloomington, IN, too. I had to have an off-air antenna installed to get most of the Indy and Louisville channels. It used to be that Bloomington WAS in a white area, until about 6 to 9 months ago, but something changed. There is no way to get the...

    FROM DISH: L1.45 Upgrade Tip

    I had to reprogram all of my timers (for OTA channels) so that they will fire after the upgrade. At least that is what seems to have caused my unit to start recording OTA signals.

    921 Update In Progress

    I had to do a smart card reboot and it seems to have my system working wonderfully. On the channels which were causing the lock up, it will sometimes take about 10 to 20 seconds to lock onto the signal when changing to or from them, but I have not had the OTA turner lock up since the smart card...

    On the topic of channel addition rumors. It seems that Bravo HD+ is coming to DISH Network, but there are issues as to where they will be placing the channel. My contact with the programmer has become rather dismayed at the structure within DISH Network over the last several months. When I was...

    Initial thoughts on 921 (was: It's coming to tomorrow)

    Well, after playing with the unit more... I still like it for the DISH reception. It is exactly like the 721, but with the ability to get their HD lineup. Off-air reception and recording is both very flakey and frustrating. Don't get me wrong on what I am about to say... I love this unit and am...

    Initial thoughts on 921 (was: It's coming to tomorrow)

    Yep, I got the OTA bug, too. It took some time, but the local PBS station here went off the air for a while today. It locked up and was unable to then tune to any other OTA stations until I pulled the smart card. I also noticed that unit seems to get lost as to where it is I was on 25-01 and...

    Initial thoughts on 921 (was: It's coming to tomorrow)

    Well, I just finished installing and moving out my 721 (it will go to my mom sometime in the future), downloading the software and getting it activated. The software was downloaded and installed in about 30 minutes. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the 721 and put in the 921 and...

    Initial thoughts on 921 (was: It's coming to tomorrow)

    Just had to jump in here and say my 921 will be here tomorrow at some point it is on a truck heading my way! Yippeee! I can tell you what I will be doing on my two days off and then the weekend. :D :!: See first posting on page 2 for my observations :!:

    Scott's 921 Has Arrived!

    Scott, So, the guide only has 1 hour of data? Is it still downloading the guide or is that going to be it for now? I know when I first got my 721, the guide data took forever to pull in all of it.
