    Buffalo Sabres games

    thanks for all the help here, I did a search and found oct 7 game on channel 694 or 692. which I set to record. Trouble is, when I went to these channels to see what is on these today, I got a message saying I wasn't subscribed to either one of these channels. weird.

    Any Surprises Coming?

    Well, here's my final assessment on the whole install, etc... I guess I'd rather have a long (4.5hrs) install than a 1/2 hr one. I choose a local dealer(Erie Satellite), and I'm glad I did. All went well - HR24 + H25 receiver, working fine. Guide is filling up, and I have to say that the...

    Any Surprises Coming?

    well, 4.5 hours later, install complete! everything looks great, one problem: the guide just shows about 1 day in advance so far. I'm thinking maybe it just hasn't had enough time to install, I'll give it till overnight and see what happens. You supposed to turn off the receiver overnight, or...

    Any Surprises Coming?

    I guess I'm wondering that because I have an older tv(DVI or Component) and a newer one(HDMI), I won't be able to use the Whole Home DVR option that ordered. Right now I have the ability to record/watch/delete between both sets with the Dish DVR(622). If for some reason, the DVI connection is...

    Any Surprises Coming?

    Getting Direct tomorrow, leaving Dish... Whole House DVR question: I understand that I won't get 1080p due to the fact that my main tv has DVI or Component hookup, but will get 1080i. Upstairs tv 720p HDMI connection, but looks good even now with Dish. Now main tv is hooked up component...

    1987 home const.

    Appreciate...... all the info, I'll talk to direct folks about wiring (external wiring not an option), my MSG (buffalo sabres) situation is important as the wiring is, due to what Dish did to us fans this year!

    1987 home const.

    not sure... didn't look to see inside walls for coaxal type. Works fine w/dish, though. Do installers provide new runs, if needed? Installed in up to 4 rooms the ads say. Asked this question elsewhere, also: Anybody know how long the carriage contract is with MSG/Directtv?

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    I don't have the exact same dvr, but once in awhile, tv2 will start changing channels all by itself. I'm just waiting for a break in the weather then I'm done with dish. going with direct tv - can't wait! Also, the hd channels lose audio for about 5 seconds, mainly on the CBS network shows...

    MSG gone too from DISH

    Ouch, that hurts! True words, though, after seeing Dallas crunch them on my PC last night. Trying to hold on and not switch to D, but it's getting tough out here in Erie, PA, especially now that we have Local Channels. With the deal from D, is it true that I can record 2 things at one time...

    dish complaints

    You're right, I got online with Dish, they told me they're offering free Nhl Center Ice for a couple weeks, also stated that FSN (penguins) would be the local team blacked out. Checked the channels(625), and saw the Sabre's game, tried to DVR it and it said I couldn't get it because it's shown...

    dish complaints

    NHL Center Ice I've got a question for anyone who is in the know about this NHL package: I'm not sure which team would be my 'local' team, and thus be blacked out. I presently get the Penguins on FSN, but I used to get the Sabre's from MSG, until the recent disagreement. I tried to ask...

    dish complaints

    Thanks, everybody Once again, thanks for the info from everyone... Yes, I have a 622 receiver. With the 'pissing match' going on with MSG/Dish, I thought about going to Direct tv, but I understand that they don't have a dual dvr machine, like the 622. That's a deal breaker for me. It's...

    dish complaints

    HD looks good In the first reply, the Sabres' home games are mostly in HD, viewed in the buffalo area (I'm just outside of erie, pa). As far as my dvr, I get an excellent HD picture on it.

    dish complaints

    can't get anywhere with dish when I call--- I've got HD, but can't get Buffalo Sabres games in HD when they're broadcast as such, on an Alternate Channel. (that's the way I find it). Also asked, why they don't show something new under 'free preview' channel for the month for people like me...

    tv aspect

    I have a panny 37" plasma connected to TV-2 on my vip622. Great picture on the panny, but I can't seem to get the aspect under control---when I watch the HD channels, the screen is zoomed out. The "HDNET" symbol is sqeezed out partially, so I know it's not right. Of course, I've got the...

    622 or 625?

    I could probably wait, but if I need to upgrade the outside dish, I'd be inclined to get it all now.
