    HD Only Pack... do SD programs stay put?

    I'm thinking of switching to the HD Only Pack, but have a question. My daughter (3 year old) loves Noggin. It is pretty much the only thing I let her watch on TV since it is somewhat educational driven and not riddled with commercials. Unfortunately it isn't in HD (duh!) and probably won't be...

    ViP622 5.1 DD Audio Problem

    I got a new AVR (Harman Kardon AVR247) recently and it has a problem with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio on the ViP622. All vocals and center channel sounds are quiet and "tinny". It sounds like people are in a can! I've confirmed it's not the A/V receiver as it plays PS3/Blu-ray and DVD superbly...

    Can I get 4 satellites on two dishes?

    I currently have a Dish 1000 (pointed at 110/119) and a Dish 500 (pointed at 61.5). I live in the Cleveland Area and don't get STO-HD or FSN-Ohio HD because they are on 129. Can I have the Dish 1000 try to pick up 129 as well? If so, will it override 61.5. I hate to reposition 61.5 at 129...

    Food HD "Black Flashes"? Anyone else?

    I've noticed the last few weeks that my recordings from Food HD will every once in awhile have a quick (maybe a just a frame or so) black "flash". It will happen maybe a couple times in a half hour program. I don't know if this problem is exclusive to Food HD for me. Especially since that...

    What am I doing wrong with my Dad's CRT RP HDTV?

    So my mom and step-dad recently bought a house and figured this would be a good time to go HD. They've never had HD or a DVR but I recommended the ViP622 and DishHD Silver. As a test, I decided to take over my 622 and hook it up to his GE Rear Projection CRT HDTV Monitor. It is close to 3...

    Which Premium for HD Movies?

    So I was thinking about adding a premium package to my service. I will use it 95% of the time just for watching movies in HD. I'll probably never watch the SD channels. Does anyone recommend any particular one? Which one looks the best? Who offers the newest and widest variety of movies...

    Cost per Channel for Cable/Sat Providers

    I've been trying to find a listing of cost per channel that the cable/sat providers pay. I'm sure each provider has a different contract with each channel, but I was hoping to find a list for at least one cable/sat provider to reference... I know ESPN charges something like $3/per sub/per...

    Anyone use ClubDish PPV Coupons on HD??

    I'm still waiting to receive my 5 free PPV coupons for my friend signing up with E* in November. I've talked with them 3 times and noone knows anything over there! I was wondering if anyone has used these PPV coupons to order a movie in HD. I'm sure you can't use them for "grown-up" orders...

    HDMI & Component for "TV2"

    Well, I finally purchased my second HDTV (yeah!). I was just going to use the home distribution of my 622 and combine it with my OTA. After thinking about it... I've really gotta get HD-DVR service on that TV! What I was wondering is can I use both the HDMI & Component outputs on the 622...

    Terk HDTVo & Combining OTA

    I currently have a Radioshack HDTV antenna in my attic and still lose out on a few stations. I am only 15 miles from the farthest tower and still lose some stations regularly. I am thinking of ordering a Terk HDTVo (outdoor/indoor) antenna on Amazon to see if that helps my signal. I've got...

    Best remote for 622 & everything else?

    I'm looking to buy a universal remote. The obvious choice for me is the Harmony line. I liked the 688, but now I think I'm leaning towards the more current (and more expensive) 880. Does anyone have any recommedations? I don't want a touch screen remote (I'd like to locate buttons without...

    Still Image Capture on 622

    I don't know if this is something that's prohibited for discussion. I'm not interested in a hack or anything to mod my 622. Anyways... Is there a way to get still image captures from a 622? I often see these on different boards and was wondering how people do it. Is this something that is...

    CBS Football HD

    I know this is slightly off-topic.. but does anyone know if ALL CBS NFL games will be in HD this season. I know FOX does them all. I thought I heard that CBS would start doing them all in HD this fall, but I haven't seen or heard anything and the CBS site offered no help. The Cleveland...
