    Dish Network Customer Service?

    I do not pay with or have a CC, it is a debit card and there is not a company on the planet that I trust with a blanket authorization on my checking account. Those HR20's were terrible.

    Dish Network Customer Service?

    OK, I must admit that with all the griping about how inferior my ViP622 is to a TiVo, it has managed to record all but one of my programs in the last 6 months. I must also admit the picture quality is better with E* than it was with D*. I called E* today to change my programming package from the...

    Bookmark icon

    Yeah I saw that too at work, but at home I am Windows-free (and proud to be) and so IE X.x is not in my future. Also like Rky Mtn said, it works everywhere else ;) Now that I sound like a nag, the PDA access rocks Soctt!

    Bookmark icon

    Hiya all, I noticed that when I bookmark the sites main page to my Firefox Bookmarks tool bar that no icon appears like with other web portals. It would be nice to have that little dish on there. Thanks

    129 & 61.5

    Thanks Tony, now I am informed rather than curious. :) I had heard at one point that 129 was rogue (not positioned correctly) and that they kept thrusting it into place. Is this still the case or is this bird calm now?

    129 & 61.5

    Question for ya, albeit a stupid one, but I'd like to know. It appears that the satellites at 61.5 and 129 mirror each other. With the dish1000, like I have, what it the point of the 61.5 bird?

    Windows "Vienna to ship in 2009

    Here, here! I love my Linux sooooooo much. It is nice to be productive and not need to chase the "functional" PC!

    DirecTV Customer Retention Phone Number

    I am not sure if this just got archived off, but I searched the thread topic and did not see it. Would somebody kindly post the DirecTV Customer Retention Phone Number? I have a friend in need of it. Thank you.

    500GB for 155.00

    I understand the variance in bus speeds, but that is not representative of actual bandwidth and I am just saying for a DVR, it would be fine, it would also be fine as an add on to any PC. Obviously you are a power-user and know what you are saying, I am agree with you, but unless you are...

    500GB for 155.00

    4.01 has not been spooled (aka nobody has it) but the beta group from here that signed up before 7EDT this morning.

    500GB for 155.00

    In my experience USB 2.0 is not slower than the ATA-133 bus or humanly noticeable unless you have SATA 3.0Gbps ;) They are pretty quick. However, for my purpose E* did not put an eSATA port on the 622 so it is what ya get ya got.

    500GB for 155.00

    I hope "deal sharing" is not a rule violation :) I just picked up one of these for my 622 for WHEN 4.01 spools. What a STEAL!

    Making "remote 1" RF for the 622

    Good morning all, I recently put my 622 in the closet and have been using remote 2 to control TV1 in single mode. Now I have back-hauled the RF tuner to my cable system so that I can use TV2 in the basement or guest room. However, as you may guess I need two RF remotes now. I read somewhere...

    HR20 OTA being enabled now

    No, D* needs to be active on them in order for the DVR functions to operate. SO realistically you could have the unit on your account and use it for OTA only, but it will not function as a "standalone" OTA DVR.

    Is this fight good for hockey?

    I voted yes in the poll. ANY team that thinks taking out the captain is gonna fly, is high. I was VERY surprised to see the goaltenders go and even more surprised to see a non-goalie fight a goalie as we all know that could get you killed in any level of hockey. Considering what Drury has...

    Someone brings up a good point

    OK now back on topic. Yes moving is signal theft, at least according to federal law as last I checked the FCC governs who can get what radio signals, and where and how, not the members of this forum as some would try and make you think.

    Really stressed out,

    Let her cry ... it is not like you can give into your kids when they cry and whine. Babies learn what works and they learn it early. They are 100 times SMARTER than you and I and they know how to get what they want. My son was the same until her realized that he could not produce 110W per...

    Dish Network Launches DishOnline.COM

    I know, that is the problem. There are those of us that will not use that browser because of all its security problems, I am in that group. Now if it were to connect to my 622 (also a Linux box) and provide free VOD (like cable) then it may be interesting, but "as is" I think it will be lame...

    HD Tivo question

    You may transfer to DVD but only in 480i, using a DVD recorder. Of you may hack the unit (it is legal and SUPPORTED by TiVo) and transfer the recordings to your PC. However, the HR10-250 has encryption in place, so any program you have now you could not use, just anything you recorded after...

    Hockey No More.....Star Choice Denied NHL Hockey

    Spoken like a true stars fan, lmao! NHL hockey remains the most competitive sport in North America. I agree that Gary Bettman is the problem and for some reason he wants the league to die, at least based upon his television contracts, especially in High Def

    How's the 622 SD Picuture Quality?

    I cannot compare to anything but a 211, but it is great for me. Better than DirecTV is all I know.
