    My DVR's disk drive is not stopping

    I believe I read somewhere that Dish Network HD-DVR's use about 47 watts on or off. Now take all the HD-DVR's that are running 24 hours and the amount of power to run these DVR's is alot.

    HD Lipsync issues

    It would be nice to see a adjustment in the menu to adjust lip sync forward or backwards in milliseconds. Just like a right/left adjustment for the HD picture.

    Severe space storm heading our way. What can happen to our service from Dish Network?

    Since this site is loaded with good people with alot of satellite knowledge how about the risk to our investments in receivers and monthly programming. Does Dish Network have any spare satellites in orbit if a main satellite is unable to survive a solar storm?

    Severe space storm heading our way. What can happen to our service from Dish Network?

    I do not know if this has been brought up today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16187534/ So what can happen to our Dish Network programming and our dishes/receivers here on the ground?

    DishONLINE

    Glad to see Dish Network is finally going online with their receivers. Both of my Vip-622's are already connected to my home network. This broadband upgrade will bring a much faster two way connection between Dish Network and our receivers.

    Signal Strength, DP44, and Dish 1000 Question

    I just had a Dish Network 1500 dish set up last Sunday and I have noticed lower signal strength across the board on all the satellite positions. So far I have had no rain to see how signal strength will hold up to a heavy downpour. But I do have the 1500 set up to survive a close tornado.

    How long will the 129 position last?

    I have been with Dish Network awhile since the days of the 119 main programming spot. Then I had to get a 61.5 dish to see NASA. Next up was a dish to see 110 programming (before Dish 500 was available). Along came a local station on the 148 satellite. I wired the pole for HD at the 105 position...

    Dish Network tells me today my 6000 will receive the new Feb. 1st channels.

    Thanks Scott...................This is why I almost fell over when Dish Network HDTV tech help told me my 6000 was good to go on the new Feb. 1st HD channel lineup. I have been following the breaking Dish Network HD news here at SatelliteGuys and I asked two times to have this 6000 information...

    Dish Network tells me today my 6000 will receive the new Feb. 1st channels.

    I was also told today the new channels will be MPEG-2 and my 6000 receiver will see the new Feb 1st HD channels. This is the reason I am not clear on the 6000 future.

    Dish Network tells me today my 6000 will receive the new Feb. 1st channels.

    Called today because my 6000 is going dead again. Dish Network HDTV tech help tells me my replacement 6000 will receive the new channels on Feb 1st. I asked Dish tech why this information is different than what Charlie said on the HD chat. The tech person verified with two other supervisors...

    AT&T/Echostar

    I look for SBC/AT&T to purchase Echostar. AT&T will handle the local and long distance telephone market. SBC name will stand for "Satellite-Broadband-Cingular. SBC will become a huge entertainment company.

    Anyone noticing major pixelation with their 942?

    This sounds like Dish Network is doing more and more compression of the SD channels. Our 6000 units have been having trouble also.

    6000 Model Red Blur

    I had my Dish 6000 swap for this problem. Still there with the new unit. The only way I can get rid of the smear in colors is to zoom in on 1080i feed of SD programming. The problem in my opinion is the compression of the SD channels is reaching the breaking point. When we upscale to 1080i or...

    Retailer Chat Recap - November 10th, 2005

    I do not think Dish Network expects any problems with the 211. PPV, billing, VOD, receiver signal strength, connection to other houshold Dish Network receivers, internet surfing and e-mail.............. the ethernet port is a great revenue generator.

    Retailer Chat Recap - November 10th, 2005

    I asked about the 411 last night during a replacement 6000 authorization. Dish tech seem knowledgeable about the unit. I was told production has been stopped on the 411. Why? Tech did not know but his guess is the 211 is now going to be produced in large numbers. The 411 will just be used short...

    Ergen not fazed by changing field

    A possible move is SBC local and long distance telephone service as one company called "ATT". Dish Network will then merge with SBC remaining assets and the new company will be called "Satellite-Broadband-Cingular" or "SBC" the all in one company.

    Does Dish Network monitor my family television viewing habits?

    Well I got my second 510 receiver installed. I noticed the 510's seem to call Dish Network alot more than my 6000 receiver does. So I was wondering does Dish Network monitor my family television viewing habits? I have seen TIVO most watched programs reported in the USAToday paper. I always...

    I called 1-800-WOWHDTV Saturday night at 11PM CST. CSR asked if I had a 61.5 dish. The new VOOM $5.00 HD channels were added to my account. I was told the new channels would download between 2-3am. I woke up Sunday morning and noticed the new VOOM channels where in my guide as promised.
