    Cancelled Dish

    Explained that the Fox channel in Sacramento was not available in HD over Dish for the last two football seasons. The CSR with a bit of attitude says it is not available in HD. I mentioned it is by OTA, on Directv and Uverse. She tells me it is not HD, just upconverted. For the rumor seekers...

    I have a 622 that was running a Sony HD and a RCA CRT in another room. I have replaced the Sony with a Mitsubishi HD and moved the sony to replace the RCA. I transferred the coax from the RCA input to Sony antenna input and then the cable input. I have cylced through the Sony inputs and do...

    HDMI hookup

    Dish installed my 622 about 20 months ago. The HDMI cable is plugged into the 622 and the other end into the TV. However, in the cable between the the HDMI ends is another connection, apparently a male & female connection. It has continued to work properly since installation. I am just...

    Sony a lemon?

    Bought a Sony 60 inch LCD kdf-60wf655 in December 2004. It has an excellent picture, friends with other brands comment that the picture is sharper than theirs. However, at about 14 months the thing died, needed a power board (?) replacement, about $400.00. Fortunately, my credit card...

    Directv RSNs

    I am unable to locate Regional Sports Nets on the Directv site. Can someone tell me if they are included with some level of programing package or if they are a separate purchase? Thanks.

    Sony KDF-60wf655

    Mine will be three years old in December. I have turned the brightness up to max and the picture still looks a little dark. The lamp indicator light is not lit. Could it still be in need of a new lamp? I think the "estimated" life of the lamp was about 2000 hours, which has surly been exceeded.

    Uverse channel guide

    I am looking for a listing of the Uverse packages, what channels are included in each and for what price. The site at uverse.att.com has a very poor pdf listing of all channels. I have been unable to locate the tier breakdown. Any help? By the way, a friend had uverse installed last week and...

    Locked events on 622

    I lock out channels such as the music, religion and sales promotions using the system locks. I select them, lock the system, they don't appear on the channel lists. This has worked fine for many months. Today I found that 4 or 5 of my recorded items are showing as "locked events." I can...

    HBO free preview

    Just noticed this was available while locking out the NHL channels. Is it just me, or could Dish improve on providing notification of these events?

    LNB drift on 129

    No HD signal for a couple of hours this afternoon, VIP622. The picture did come back and now working again. Called Dish, ran the checks which told the Dish tech that reception on 129 was "on the fringe" and needed a service call for realignment. Got it scheduled for Monday morning. She told...

    Channel Locks on tv2

    I have a VIP 622 used in dual mode. I used channel locks to remove the music, shopping and some other channels from the guides. I did this on tv1 and all went well. I thought the change would apply to tv2 also, but it did not. So, I went through the same selecting and locking procedure on...

    Happy with dish HD

    This month marks my first year with Dish. I have a VIP 622 and the HD package. Overall I am happy with the service. Had only a few minor glitches along the way. I think the HD looks great. The HDMI cable works fine and the optical audio sounds good too. Currently my only issues, which...

    Optical cables better?

    I have a VIP 622 connected to a Sony 60" tv with HDMI. The Sony tv is connected to a Sony surround sound system with what appears to be rca jacks. The tv sound is turned off, I always use the surround sound system. Questions: 1. Would optical cables provider better sound? 2. Should the...

    Dead Like Me on HDNet

    Been recording it recently, Dish Net. It now appears to be gone except for a repeat on Sunday. Found no mention of it on HDNet's web site. The Dead Like Me web site says it is on the Science Fiction channel. Never found it there. Anyone have any idea if and when it will be back?

    Dish conspiracy plot?

    One of the announcers of the Bears game on Sunday was clearly not human. The real announcer may have been kidnapped and replaced with some type of android call Joe Buck. It is clear that the android is too perfect in physical appearance and continually reads bits of copy supplied by an outside...

    HD channel not working

    Local Sacramento channel 3 HD is not working. All other channels and channel 3 in SD are working ok. Called dish, checked everything that can be checked. All appears to be OK. Next suggestion was to exchange the 622 for another box, but it seems doubtful this will cure the problem. Anyone...

    Filmfest movie id

    I surfed into the middle of a movie on Filmfest last night. The program guide listed it as Full Frontal, a film within a film set in LA. The movie being shown revolved around two 8 or 9 year old boys in Chicago, one Irish Catholic and the other Jewish. I would like to know the true name of...

    Fox 40 HD Sacramento

    I see that Directv has begun providing the Fox channel in HD in Sacramento. Will their deal with the Tribune company have any bearing on Dish also being able to provide the channel in HD?

    Log out problem

    NFL Pats

    This question may not be a Dish related issue, but I did see this on the Pats game. There are pictures painted on the stadium floor, one near each sideline. It looks like a giant monkey wrench in grey the four yellow electric like flashes extending toward the center of the field. The handle...

    Rebate Runaround

    I became a new Dish customer 6-27-06 with HD programming. I submitted the rebate form on 7-6 for the $200.00, $20.00 for 10 months. Called Dish on 8-14 and was advised the form had been received and the credit would be on the next bill. Reviewed the electronic bill today (9-14) and found a...
