    Sharks game blacked out in Bay Area by Dish???

    Absolute idiots. The first idiot CSR blamed the problem on the FCC, then another CSR told me that it was CSN-BA's fault. I called CSN and yelled in their voicemail, but I'm sure they're just laughing about it. Wonder if CSN would do this to non Comcast customers (Comcast didn't get blacked...

    8 New HD RSN Channels Added 7/11

    OK, here goes. Two more days until 8/15 when E* is cranking up the HD. In the press release last month, they said they were adding the 7 or so RSN-HD channels, with more on 8/15, in addition to 7 national HD channels. Any word on what "more" RSN-HD channels are coming. I need my FSN-Bay Area...

    622 - Jumbled DVR Recordings

    Go check my post / poll here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=82142 also, it is screwed up when you do watch live. When you REV, the recording is all pixelated and it doesnt let you rewind to where you want the recording to go. Of course, if you just watch it live, it is okay...

    RSN's in HD?

    What? No news of HD-RSN's at CES. Nothing on the last Charlie Chat. Hmmmm. Any ideas what is going on?

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    I called them, they told me they hadn't heard of the problem. They sent me a new receiver for free. Problem continued, I called them back 3 weeks after receiving the new 622. They said they hadn't heard of the problem. I told them I was on my second receiver due to this very problem. I...

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    The CSR's I talked to said they never heard of the problem. I don't have a replacement plan, but the sent me a replacement receiver. Same problem still occurs intermittently.

    Charlie Chat Recap

    I didn't feel like watching any hockey or basketball on my RSN in HD anyway.

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    Has anyone else called Dish about this problem? I called them the other night after the messed up recording of the hockey game. The Tech Support guy I spoke with said it was the first he'd heard of the problem and it is not listed as a known problem. I hope they can fit this in the next...

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    So when your 942 would lose the OTA signal while recording, the recording actually started over??? Or are you just referring to losing signal and blocky signal during FF / REW? Good Luck with your 622, I had much better results with my 942, but as I wanted the new HD I made the switch and...

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    Here we go again. Happened again last night. Missed the last 5 minutes of the second period to the end of the game on my RSN. Well, at least I got to see about half the game before the bug hit.

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    I've yet to see it on an HD channel, though I record much more SD content than HD (since Dish won't turn on the RSN's).

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    The two A&E programs I record are 'The First 48' and 'Cold Case Files', and I see the problem on both shows.. I would say the problem has been getting worse lately - but it is maybe 20-30 % of my taped A&E shows recently which experience this problem. The problem has definitely been worse for...

    622 DVR - Recordings Starting Over During a Show

    I just sent back my 622 because on certain channels it is having a major problem. The 622 will record, say, 40 minutes of an hour long show - then the show starts over with 20 minutes left in the recording. So when the recording reaches the end, I am only 20 minutes into my show. This happens...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    This is a known issue (I just don't know if Dish is looking into it). I have had this happen numerous times on NHL recordings from both FSN-Bay Area, and from my Center Ice channels. It's also happened to me several other times on A&E, recording hour-long shows. It starts the recording over...

    Anyone else experienced this?

    I'm not so sure it's a problem with recording the "banner" at the end of the game, but that could be part of it. I have had the same exact issue recording my Sharks games - it's really starting to tick me off. I, however, have experienced this problem even more frequently when recording...

    What is the FSN HD holdup?

    And when are they about to launch these HD channels? "Very, very soon?" Maybe it's time to back out of this Dish contract and go with Direct so I can watch these HD games, I've already missed too many.

    What is the FSN HD holdup?

    Some are luckier than others. On FSN-Bay Area, we are getting 25 Sharks games and 30 Warriors games this year in HD. We had 50 Giants games, and 47 A's games in HD this season. If my math is correct, that is 152 High Definition games that I could watch this year from my local RSN. Of those...

    Dish Model 942 - L2.27 Software Update

    How about 6.1? I'd love to see PBS HD in the EPG.

    Satellite channels go blank

    This has been happening to me on average twice a day, ever since I got the 269 update. This never happened before 269, but I did get the acquiring satellite bug prior to 269. I wish Dish would get their act together and provide a decent piece of equipment to view HD. Besides the blank screen...

    Nope, with the SD outputs (i.e. S-video or composite) and the stretch modes offered, it looks like any other receiver - full screen

    Dish Network on HDTV

    I agree with you 100%. I don't want to see upconverted 70's movies or second rate production shows in HD. I could care less. I do feel, however (as I would think a decent majority would feel), that my local professional MLB, NBA, and NHL teams in HD is probably the most sought after HD stuff...

    Dish Network on HDTV

    Actually, it's not up to me. It should be up to them to either compress HD material w/o signal degradation or to acquire more satellites. I don't mind throwing another dish on my roof, I just want my sports in HD.
