    What took me so long?

    Well, yesterday we made the jump from E* to D*. For a long time, E* was just cheaper for our setup- we could run two rooms of the DVR without any additional fees. We got in one their early HD only packages and saved some cash. Then they took away a few channels. Then the receiver died. Then...

    Not so smooth install

    Okay, today's the big day. Installers show up for my two tv DVR and HD receiver setup. Yes, those are 24 series on the truck. Out with the Dish equip and in with the new. Took about an hour. Then they tell me the MRV is not on my account and they cant set up the whole home DVR because its not on...

    Jumping ship... from Dish to DTV

    Okay, now that I'm on my 4th 622 receiver in the past 9 months, and the fact that Dish just keeps sending me new receivers without even thinking or asking what's up, and refusing to try something different (I dunno, maybe try a model that hasn't been discontinued?) I'm fed up- and I told them...

    622 dead?

    had my 622 for just over a year, now the green light comes on for a few seconds, the screen is blank, and then it shuts off. the fan sounds like it's running overtime, but the air coming out the side is cool. once I got to the 'acquiring satellites' screen, but it quickly reset again. I call...

    "Turbocharged" 622 now acting up

    Ever since the little "TurboHD" icon with the message that our 622 has been turbocharged popped up, we have been having problems with our DVR. Live TV works fine, except I don't watch any live TV- it's all off the DVR. We never had problems with it before. The biggest problem is occasionally...

    getting 6.0 UHF remote to work on TV2 of 622

    I just got my new 622 set up. The tech left behind my old 6.0 UHF remote from my 625. I found this post: DBSTalk.Com - View Single Post - TV1 Remote question? from 2006 that talks about setting switches manually on the two remotes to get the 6.3 UHF pro to work for TV1 and the 6.0 to work for...

    80GB spare HD lying around, worth using with 622?

    I have a spare 7200RPM 80GB HD laying around that I pulled out of an old PC. I don't have an enclosure for it. Would it be worth the $10-15 to get an enclosure and hook it up to my DVR or should I go ahead and look into a bigger external drive? In other words, how much HD/SD should I be able...

    can I do TV1 and TV2 with 2 different UHF remotes?

    I currently have a 625 and we use the UHF remote to watch TV2, like most people I guess. I am thinking about upgrading to a HD reciever. We have a new plasma mounted on the wall above our fireplace. There is no good place for AV components, and we want to keep the wall as clean and simple as...

    what do SD channels look like with HD box- letterbox?

    I'm still contemplating the switch to HD, I was wondering, how are the SD signals are sent to the TV if you're using HDMI- are they upscaled to 720p, etc. do they get stretched out or are there letterboxes. I'm curious because my plasma lets me stretch or zoom a SD signal to fill the entire...

    How long do I have to stop service to be a "New" customer

    My original service agreement is up. I have a new HD TV. I want to upgrade to HD service and I've been happy with Dish Network so far, but I don't understand why new customers get a free HD DVR and I have to pay $150 for it. I'd be happy to sign a new agreement. Cell phone companies are willing...
