    HD progaming in Miami Fl

    Miami is in the Western (?) Arc, 110,119, and 129. Miami HD Locals are on 110. It always confuses me that the most southeastern DMA gets the Western Arc. Walt

    Does Dish still require 2 dishes?

    According to the tech that moved my wing dish last week, West Palm gets Eastern Arc, but the Miami DMA gets 110/119 and 129. Our locals are on 110/119. Most of the other HD is on 129. Seemed weird to me. Walt

    Apparently 612s do NOT count as 2 tuners.

    If it only processes 1 vid stream at time, how can I record one program while watching a different program ? (2 video streams) Walt

    ViP 612 HDMI to DVI, or use Component (RGB)?

    If you use a HDMI-DVI adapter, you will have to run audio cables also, since DVI doesn't support digital audio. HDMI-DVI adapter is how i'm using my ViP612, and it works fine. Walt

    MPAA Pushes Early HD VOD Releases

    How about TVs with only Analog Inputs ? One of my HDTVs has only component (YPbPr) inputs, so does this mean I can't watch the movies on my largest set. ? The Dish receivers have HDMI and component outputs. Will only the HDMI work if I buy this movie ? Walt

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    I'd suggest calling and playing CSR roulette. I also upgraded to the HD Ultimate package with AEP. Dish wanted to charge me $299 for a third 211, but dishstore.net sells them for $169, so I'll probably go that route next week. Walt

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    I got my two leased 811s upgraded to 211s today. Also got a wing Dish for 61.5 sat. No charge, just called and asked. I wanted a third 211, but was told I'd have to pay $299 for it. I live on Social inSecurity, so had to pass. Did get my ViP612 connected finally. Walt

    Request for Special Temporary Authority to Execute Controlled Re-Entry of AMC-14

    As I understand it, Echostar owns the FCC license for the 61.5 slot where AMC=14 was scheduled to go. They would have had all the command and control responsibilities for the bird. Therefore Echostar had to petitiion the FCC for permission to de-orbit. Walt

    I noticed they uplinked WLRN2, which hasn't been on the air in over a year. And I have yet to see WPBT1 EPG, but they uplinked 2 and 3. The only time I saw WPBT1(PBS) EPG, the info was for a West Coast NBC affiliate. Walt
