    Looking for 100 HD channels at years end?

    Whatever happened to the "100 channels by years end?" DirecTV has 6 Showtime HD movie channels alone? Why can't Dish put on more than 1 Showtime HD channel? It's not worth the $14.98. You get a better bargain by taking HBO HD with 6 channels of HD. Then there's FX HD and a score of other HD...

    Where's SHOWTIME, TMC IN HD?

    SHOWTIME has at least 4 HD channels. And TMC has several more. That's about 7 more HD movies we could get. Even if they gave us Showtime West as well as Showtime East. What's the deal? And don't dare tamper with the finest quality HD channels since the beginning --HDNET and HDNM. Mark Cuban...

    Dish Sends Me To Directv

    I called DirecTV this morning since Dish dropped VOOM the only channels that set them apart from other sat-cable carriers. I must have gotten a special desk for unhappy Dish subscribers because apparently a lot of people are calling from Dish to price DirecTV. In my own case I have the Platnium...

    Connecting DISH to NETFLIX

    Currently I watch Netflix downloads on my HD set via my computer using S-plug & stereo. Looks great. Any chance that DISH will allow it's internet connection to be used for downloading NETFLIX directly to my set? I read that set-top boxes are coming soon for this purpose. That's why I'm not...

    Triple Recording On 622

    After activating my OTA I discovered the following. I can record 2 progams at once off DISH via 1 & 2. I knew that. But what I didn't know is that I can also record a 3rd program on an OTA channel at the same time. This gives me 3 recordings at once when an OTA channel is involved. I guess the...

    Dish External Drive Instructions Missing

    Excuse me but is there a post on directions for operating the external drive with your Dish receiver? I have looked for instructions and read many posts but have not found any comforting information other than "go ahead and try it.." Help would be appreciated.

    622 Freezes & Reboots Answers

    I previously have posted about my 622 rebooting after freezing. I now think I have the answer. In my case it was not a grounding problem but get this..... each time I watch HD with closed captions in large size it freezes and reboots. When I watch the same program without captions there is no...

    622 Freezes & Reboots

    Here's a new issue as far as I'm concerned. My 622 freezes and then reboots while I am watching a specific HD program I recorded....always in the same spot. This does not happen while watching other recordings and only happens while playing this one recording. Can a recording be corrupted or...

    I'm On My 3rd 622!!!

    DISH has been very understanding of my 622 problems and has recently shipped my 3rd 622 to me. However, the general problems continue although different each time. Previously, the 1st 622 would reboot in the middle of a program, recorded or not. The 2nd one would just turn off. Now the 3rd one...

    Returned Receiver Damaged, Who Pays??

    New $20 Fee for HD?

    I guess I've been away for a while. I just checked my monthly bill and found a $20 fee tacked on to my normal bill. No new channels or new service; just an additional $20 tacked on for no reason at all. Oh yes, they call it an HD fee, like I wasn't getting HD before ?? This should send everyone...

    622 Freezes......anyone else??

    My 622 will freeze a frame on my screen but continue with the sound track. This happens several times a day. When I turn off the 622 the frame remains until I either turn off the tv or turn the 622 back on. Anyone having this problem? If so, what did you do??

    Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy "MUSASHI MYAMOTO" is on again on Kung FU as of Sept. 18th and appears to be showing most of the day. Good series with Toshiro Mifune. Also recommend "TALES OF UGETSU" which just showed but will no doubt return.

    622 Reboots 3 times per week. Should I be concerned???

    Since this is the tech page maybe someone knows about this. My 622 reboots about 3 times a week by itself. The screen will suddenly go dark and then the unit will reboot itself about a minute or so later. Any suggestions????

    Cnn World Anyone??

    Seems like when I had VOOM there were 3 CNN versions available. CNN Headline/CNN/CNN World. Does anyone carry CNN World anymore?? I am tired of these endless entertainment programs that have taken over the news on MSNBC and CNN.
