Hiya, I just went to record a program and now I have Dishpass and other name-based options? Did this finally arrive this week or have I overlooked it? I could have sworn it wasn't there a few weeks ago....

The second FIOS is up and running here, is the second I call Dish and try to explain to a barely literate foreigner that I would like to cancel, thus accomplishing nothing.

Any good learning remote will control an Apex, using learned commands, if it does not provide the actual code set for it. Oneforalls are reliable, cheap remotes that offer support for learned commands and can store many of them. URCs are another good brand that has an insane amount of learned...

I've returned 2 Harmony remotes. You don't wanna ask ME why. :rolleyes:

The good Lord giveth us porn and the good Lord taketh away our porn. Yet another reason to switch to Tardism, the religion of Pornographers everywhere. A vote for Tardism is a vote for High Definition smut! Really, Standard Def is fine for porn. With High Definition, you can generally get a...

Batboy found in cave! Officials speculate that he was working on the legendary Weather Channel Upgrade. Also found in the cave were the remains of Elvis Presley, whoses bones were found in the act of taking a Name Based Recording logo and trying to nail it onto a 500 series DVR with a hammer...

That's odd. My television will not allow me to adjust the image of HD input signals. Only if it's non-HD can I stretch, zoom, etc. My brother has a tv that auto senses aspect ratios. It works tolerably well.

You're right, the 510 does widescreen mode, but only for the guide and the menu, basically. It stretches everything else. I don't know where it is on the 625, though, but that person is incorrect in saying "it's not HD so it can't be set".

Hall chastises those who defend others, yet he's more than willing to defend Dish's honor and virtue. If Directv slapped Dish with a glove, would you be her champion? Who said chivalry is dead...:D

Oops, you have a dual tuner type thing, don't you? Or at least, you want to get one, right? My info...might be wrong. Though I think it'll work. From what I read , it's common cable that goes to the second receiver. Yeh.

Your cable runs. Hmm. Check the cable type. If it's extremely old (rg59), then the quality will be okay. If the cable runs are RG6 then the it's fine. Of course, I'm talking about OUTPUT from the receiver. For INPUT to the receiver from the DISH, RG6 is a must (according to Dish anyways)...

I use a widescreen setup and have my 510 set to widescreen mode in the settings. It doesn't really matter: it'll display everything stretched and distorted. And to top it off, when something IS widescreen, it won't even stretch it for me. I have to stretch it on the tv manually. What a pain...

Your cable could be blackened on the end. That's a good sign. I had some trouble with switches a while back and eventually gave up. I was getting shocked and burning out ports. The cable was making sparks on the floor! I admit, my method is.... not scientific and possibly costly. But if a...

Sending e-mails to dish is fun! I sent one asking about NBR for current models and waiving my dvr fee. I was told to pay my fee and upgrade to a 625. I then e-mailed Kathy back and asked her if she would give me a 625 for free, and if not, could she tell me about the status of NBR on current...

Sexual aids = brillo pad and rough ground pepper. Yes, my grocery store has sexual aids. :D Doesn't yours?

Don't worry. New upgrades are harmless. Why, this latest update has made my discrete power on code not work properly. See? Harmless. One of the most useful things Dish has added, now crippled.

Wow. That's :mad:ed up. I already knew this, but still. It never ceases to annoy me.

There are ways to test an LNB, but they seemed too laborious to me. I just switched out the LNB with a new one and if it works...well, it works. If it doesn't...then you've probably bought one of their cheap switches. :D Proud burner-outer- of 2 $100 switches in mere days.

If you're going to be e-mailing Charlie (he is a robot..I have proof), then I would rather you breach NBR for the 500 series. They told us they were giving us that years ago. They lied (Charlie is operating under the Asimovian laws, wherein a robot may work around technical restrictions to...

Dish somehow installed that insidious software without my permission, even though I told it with my permission only. Hell fire!

Am radio...mono. Bah! That's how I feel about those music channels Dish has that are mono. The other chanels are stereo. Why not those? "Hey, honey, let's have some wine and listen to some music...in mono. Oh it's making me all hot."

Anime channel is not sports. latino or reality based. Don't get your hopes up. we are a small minority, methinks. From my understanding, it's basically pay-per-view anyways.

Warning: watching too many commercials between TEN movies can make you feel that you "just don't measure up". That you need to purchase a penis pump. Porn stars swear by it. Lol.

Any more info on the software and any extra things embedded in it? Hitting "no cancel download" every morning is annoying but I can live with it. Is it still just Weather Channel or do we get Am Radio On Demand or something?

THER'S A DISCRETE POWER ON CODE NOW?!?! :eek: Forgive me, but what is this glorious code? And if it's the system info thingie...bah.
