Was just watching Good Morning America and the weather girl was on location (usually location shots are pretty good) and everything in the scene was fuzzy/blurry but the graphics at the bottom of the screen were sharp. When they went back to the studio, the image was crisp. I've noticed this on...

I have a 612 and an old Sony HDTV (monitor/no tuner) that has DVI (no HMDI) and component. I'm using an HMDI to DVI adapter. When I try to watch an HD VOD movie is says it can't because of the HMDI isn't compatible (or something like that). Will HD VOD work with component? The other related...

I looked at the dish and currently there are two wires coming out of the LNB arm and going to the two receivers we already have. I want to add another receiver (a 211K). What do I need? Thanks!

I did a "Dish it Up!" in January (exchanged a 625 for a 612 and a 510 for a 211K). Now I want to add another 211K. I chatted with CS last night but they said no and then passed me to the "loyalty" dept. They said no as well. They did offer me a 211K for $249 with a required $95 tech visit. I...

How does it communicate with my 612? I have it connected to the internet. It also has a phone line connected to it as well. Seems like it's real time if I start playing a recording from the DRA website. And why can't I control my 211K that has an EHD attached to it?

Sometimes there's quite a lag when switching channels. Might be as long 10 seconds. Most times it's just a second or two. This is using the up/down channel button. The other night the thing went crazy. It froze and then wouldn't respond to the remote and rebooted itself (like a jet taking...

The help screen says just hit "edit" then "delete" but you can do that because when you hit "edit", "delete" is grayed out and it says only queue or failed downloads can be cancel.

I just recently switched all my cabling around to route the video and audio outputs from my 612 (and DVD player) through my HTR. I previously had the audio from my 612 going through the HTR but the video went right to the TV via the standard RCA connection. I now use the optical cable. Now I...

Moderate to heavy pixelation. Been that way for about a week on both tuners (612 and 211K). Anyone else have this problem?

I've got them hooked up but not sure what functionality they give me. Can someone please fill me in? I also have a phone line attached to my 612 (but not the 211K). The caller ID on the 211K does not work over the household electric lines (poor connection in the DishCOMM test). Both are on...

We have a 612 and a 211K. Both my wife and I have noticed occasional audio sync problems. This afternoon my local ABC channel was quite a bit off. Some of the other channels (random , of course) seem to have issues from time to time. I don't recall this happening on my older 625 and 510. Any...

I just activated the EHD on my 211K and I'm not sure, but it looks like the overall quality (compression artifacts) both HD and SD with the EHD attached is reduced compared to 211K without the EHD attached. Is something anyone else noticed?

Just upgraded to HD (612 and a 211K). The 612 is driving a 36 inch (4:3) Sony HD monitor (1080i). I have the 612 set to 1080i output and 16:9 aspect. TV programs seem to be positioned correctly but the guide seems to be shifted to the left. The 211K is driving a Vizio 32in LCD (1080p) and the...

I own the 510 that will be changed out tomorrow (with a 211(K)) and it has recordings on it that we haven't watched yet. After the unit gets deactivated, can I still view the recorded shows?

Here's my setup. A 625 driving a (10 year old) Sony 36 in (4:3) CRT 1080i HDTV (no tuner, just a monitor) and a 510 driving a new 32 in Vizio 1080p LCD. To me (the wife probably couldn't care less) there's a noticeable difference in quality. I see many more artifacts (blocking on the LCD vs...

Seems to be my locals only. I've noticed for a quite a while that my locals are stretched. It's noticable when text falls off the sides or actors are at the sides and you can hardly see them. I have a 625 and a 510 and both do it. The 510 is hooked to an old SD set and the 625 is hooked (via...

I've been noticing this for a little while and it seems to be just locals as far as I can tell. I was just watching SNL and the image is stretched beyond the edge and is some of it is not visible. My TV is a 36 inch Sony (4:3). If I switch to cable input (Comcast), the image is wide screen and...

I read that the cable companies can't downgrade the signal quality of broadcast HD (down to SD) once the switch is complete. Do sat providers fall under the same regulations?

Who are they kidding? Sometimes the locals are really bad with extreme compression artifacts.

I'm a current Dish subscriber. My girlfriend lives with me. Can she sign up as a new subscriber to take advantage of special offers that are only available to new customers?

It just started about 3 weeks ago. When you rewind and then play, it'll crash to the blue screen. It will reset itself and the do a sat check then a guide download. Anyone else experiencing this with their 508?

When I press the power off button it really doesn't turn off. The power light goes out but the screen has a moving message that says "Press "SELECT" to continue". When you press SELECT, it powers back on.

I have a 510 and a 625. There is a huge difference between the two (IMO, YMMV). I much prefer the color scheme of the 510. Who (in their right mind) decided light and medium blue was a a good color scheme? And why didn't like functions port nearly identically between the difference boxes...

I have a 510 and the only fee on my bill besides programming is the $5.98 DVR fee. Does this mean I own the 510?

I used to see channels that said if I wanted to receive it, I could get a free upgrade (to what, I don't know). Now I'm reading about Dish 1000, 1000.2, 500+ I only pay for SD channels and SD HBO. I'm guessing that if I wanted HD, I'd need a new Dish?
