    Does anybody know what's up with Google GPS, Latitude, Maps, etc..?

    Lately we (me, my wife, and her dad) have had trouble with Google Latitude, Maps, Google weather, etc. My wife can't use her runkeeper app because location can't work, latitude doesn't check in properly for us, weather can't locate based on the coordinates the phone is reporting. I can't find...

    My work is looking at Thirtyseven4 antivirus. My wife, a technology director at a small school is using it and she loves it. I would like to know from any of you sho have knowledge or experience with it what your opinion is. They seem to pride themselves on catching scareware, which is the...

    Does anyone have a "black flash" problem?

    I have a quick question about a problem I've found on my 722. I recently had to buy a new TV. I had an old rear projection HDTV - early model Hitachi. It was so old that it only had component video inputs (this was before HDMI was even thought of). Anyway, it died and I bought a Samsung LED...

    revisit the 60 Hz vs. 120 Hz debate, or not

    Guys, this may be yet another dumb question from me, but I haven't had the time to plow through all the info on the web regarding this issue, so I was hoping someone here could get me back up to speed. I was a fairly early adopter of HDTV - getting my first HDTV in 2000. Back then I kept up...

    Google Navigation - Can you dim the screen ant night?

    The question says it all. I find the screen on Google maps or navigation too bright in the truck on my Droid at night. I would like a quick way to dim the screen, but I haven't found a way to do that easily. Is this just another instance of me being a dumbass and not looking hard enough? Or...

    Question about a Droid app

    I have been using Handcent SMS on my Droid, but I have run into one problem that I dislike. Everytime I get a text from someone, it comes in twice: once on the standard messaging and once on the Handcent SMS messaging - giving me two notifications. I'd rather just get one notification. Anyone...

    Questions from a Droid newbie

    Okay. I've never had a phone with the capabilities of my new droid and I have a couple of questions. First, when it is connected to a wifi hotspot or network, does it automatically use the wifi connection when you access the internet? I just want to make sure that I'm not burning through my...

    Bose premium sound system in a 2010 tahoe

    I have a co-worker that has a 2010 tahoe with the bose premium sound system in it, nav system, dvd audio/video, the works. We got to discussing car audio and I was telling her how much I loved the sound system in my truck, an "05 Ford F150 with the audiophile system. She told me she was not so...

    Anybody here playing Wii Sports Resort?

    I got it from amazon.com in late July from pre-order. I like it alot. My youngest daughters love the swordplay. I like all of it. The bowling is easier to work with with the wii motion plus. However, it seems to me that in swordplay if you get to swinging the wiimote around too hard, it...

    Does Verizon wifi have a FAP?

    Lately our Alltel network just turned over to Verizon. We have wifi, using a Kyocera KR2 EVDO wireless router with a Huwaeii EC228 wireless modem. Lately, the network has been gimpy, sometimes verrrrrrrrrry sloooooooow - less than dial up speed it seems, and sometimes okay. Two questions...

    can I rob a 510's hard drive?

    I had an old Dish 510 DVR that went bad a couple of years ago. I think it was just the sat tuner in it that went bad. I think the hard drive was okay. I have removed the hard drive in the hopes that I can reformat it, put it in a case and use it. Is that possible? If so, how do I do that...

    Forcing record to tuner 2 in dual mode

    I have a stupid question. My 722 died a couple of weeks ago and I got the new one in and set up, but for some reason I can't seem to get the thing to force to tuner 2 for future recordings. We have it set for dual mode - because my son has a tv in his bedroom. But, since he's not here a lot...

    External Hard Drive question

    My FIL has a vip622 and wants to add an EHDD. But, he also wants to upgrade later to a 722. My question is this: Will the movies he puts on the EHDD be lost because they are tied to the 622? It seems to me that I remember when this feature became available there was some discussion about how...

    Interesting new issue with AV receiver

    I have an Onkyo TX SR504 recieving its sound from a Dish vip722 via optical output. Lately, every once in awhile, when you change the channel after browsing the guide, the sound will not come on with the channel you turn to. Usually it's that one channel, sometimes its all channels, and at...

    311 Error on my vip722

    :eek: I noticed a couple of nights ago when I turned the tv on the message but didn't really pay much attention to it. It was on again yesterday evening and I discovered indeed I had lost all dvr functionality. So I unplugged the box and plugged it back in. Nothing helped. I called Dish...

    Safari won't start

    I had an odd thing happen this morning. I double clicked the Safari icon on my desktop (PC) and I got the "Memory referenced at 0000yadayada ..." message. I just clicked yes - these occasionally pop up and usually don't seem to mean anything. But whatever it was, it won't let Safari run now...

    Help! Emergency on the PS3

    Yesterday, the kids dropped in GH3 to play and it started (according to my 18 year old) and he chose a song to play and then the machine locked up. When he turned it off and got it started again the PS3 won't recognize any discs at all, period. I've tried all our PS3 games, a netflix bluray...

    Stupid Timers!

    Went to "My Recordings" last night to bring up my latest recording of "Good Eats" and low and behold! there were about 10 "icarly" episodes recorded, back to back. I thought my two youngest daughters were the culprits, pressing the record button and being inattentive pressing through the "all...

    "Norton Security Scan" keeps re-appearing

    I have this strange phenomena that keeps happening. A desktop shortcut for Norton Security Scan keeps showing up on my desktop at work. I go through the uninstall (through control panel ---> add/remove programs) and it will uninstall, but about two or three days later, it shows up again. We...

    Playstation Home???

    I just discovered this on my PS3 a few days ago and I had no idea this whole subculture thing existed. It seems cool, but let me get this straight: In order to buy anything, I have to do these "microtransactions" where I spend actual money out of my checking account for "virtual" items that...

    Can I Sling to an ipod touch?

    I just signed up for the dish.sling.com using my 722. I thought I could sling my DVR'd shows to my daughter's ipod touch, but all I could get it to do is act as a remote control to the DVR. Is it possible to sling to the ipod? I thought that was the idea behind sling, placeshifting in...

    Dish Comm revisited - my question

    Next month I will be installing a Kyocera KR2 evdo router and finally will have a wireless network at home. I wil connect my 722 to the router with an ethernet cable. Now here's the question: Will Dish Comm allow me to NOT have a phone line connected to the 622? I'm thinking the 622 will...

    Odd Problem

    Okay. I have a 622 and a recently installed 211 (that replaced an old 508) and a Dish 1000 (110, 119, 129). A little over a week ago I woke up one morning to find the "Acquiring Satellite" message and it wouldn't acquire the satellites - it just kept going from one transponder to another on...

    Any word on turning a vip211 into a DVR?

    Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, but I haven't been keeping up with any of the news on 211's. I thought it was already a done deal that you could hook up an external HD and turn it into a DVR, but that seems to not be the case. I only ask because Dish just sent me one for free...
