+1 I do not get the SD version of encore but as of today i get the HD version!! as much as folks like to put down dish for being cheap and stingy with channels...this is very cool!!! of course with AT250 i was getting SD encore west which is the normal encore on west coast time delay...same...

voom movies is showing "little man tate". a pretty standard "american" movie. maybe this means an upgrade in content. kinda like encore or hdnet movies. older flicks that are pretty good. instead of older flicks from argentina and papua new guinea that youve never heard of. so long "world" i...

I am not sure if you can watch content from one reciever on another. I am pretty sure it has to be loaded back onto the origianal receiver to view it...DISH makes sure you don't sell movies on ebay or hand it out to your friends. i have not paid the $40 and activated my USB so i am certianly...

i know the reason for the post and what answer you are after, but... there is no such thing as XX or XXX the MPAA only rates movies as X. the porn industry "invented" XXX as a rating. and now the MPAA uses NC-17 instead of X for the purpose of this discussion, XX and XXX seem to have meaning...

I already had 4.49. I was playing with the popup guide last night. this morning when i turned on my 622, it was "downloading vital product information" then it began "reprogramming" all the while warning "do NOT turn off the power". when that finished it went thru a lengthy reboot and came up...

Jason - when i moved into our new house, i asked the tech if he would mind running an extra coax cable outside. he was already running several to the corner of the den to hook up our 622 so he said sure. It was pretty easy so i did not pay him anything. it was just one more cable in addition to...

camdog - who said anything about new channels? today was the day to make the new pricing packages available. there hasn't been any uplink activity to indicate new channels would be coming out. where do you get your info about new channels? i doubt dish will lose customers by offering the same...

does this ONLY work on 625? what about 622 or 722 or...

i started a chat session and asked if the cinemax for a penny deal was still going on. i already had auto-pay. the CSR said just sign up for paperless billing and i was all set. pretty sweet! here is the detail cut and paste straight from my chat session - "To be eligible to receive Cinemax for...

best practice is to turn your receiver off every night so that new EPG data can download. i used to get so frustrated about my lack of info until one of these forums taught me to "always turn off when not in use" great advice

I am in Greenville with a 1000 and I have no signal problems. if there is horrible weather i might lose signal for 5 minutes, but that has been very rare.

KAB seems to have assumed that you are going to BUY a receiver from Dishstore, although i did not see anything in your post about whether you were planning to rent or buy. if you go through dishstore, you get an extra $50 rebate from them directly...in addtion to any good deal you would have...

Greenville HD locals I am in greer and i get everthing OTA with solid signals. I got tired of waiting on Dish and climbed on the roof with an antenna. However, It would be nice to get LIL HD from Dish as well. if nothing else, it would make DVR of network TV easier. when the NCAA tourney...

I was watching CBS OTA through my 622. Long range and still shots looked great (especially after having to watch the ACC tourney in SD a few days earlier) but every time the action started to move or the camera zoomed in, the image became blocky. very frustrating... i was wondering if it was a...

I run component video and optical digital audio cables from the 622 to my Yamaha receiver. THen i run component video out from the yamaha to my 42inch panasonic plasma. Like others have mentioned, i do not even bother to run audio to the plasma becasue i would rather listen to everyhting thorugh...

to answer your question about partial zoom, naccoachbob it is a way to show SD content streched out to fill the entire widescreen of your plasma. It is the best option, IMHO, becasue it tries to maintain the middle of the image while doing more stretching to the outer parts of the image. thus...

FOOD HD and HGTV HD were stuttering audio and video last night for me as well in South Carolina. Are we getting close to the sunspot-activitiy-satellite-signal-disturbance time of year yet? or was this something else?

I think Hall is on the right track. THe HDTV setup is for specifying what kind of input you are plugging into the back of your 622. you can attach an off-air antenna for locals in HD or run a connection form your lcoal cable provider. The EPG will incorporate whatever signal it picks up and...

i will give you that, StevenD, they do show the same stuff over and over on HGTV HD and FOOD HD. but i would have to agree with Jeff_R that its better that they show ONLY HD content. i think that will push them more to start develpoing more original HD content to air on these channels. I like...

i have a similar question. i have tons of composite audio cables (red and white pairs with RCA jacks) layuing around. i stripped one pair in half and used it as a cable for my subwoofer. it does work...but is this a horrible idea? am i damaging my equipement? am i limiting the possible audio...

The details are right there on directv's website http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPage.jsp?assetId=900034 "DIRECTV brings you our new HD DVR, soon with the capacity to offer 150 HD channels*, that's three times more than cable" as mentioned by those replying to the origianal post...

Thanks 8bit I have been lurking for well over a year now (since i escaped from NY) This site has been incredibly informative. I guess it took ACC hoops talk to get me to join and post.

Here is Raycom's official statement on the matter. This reflects the 2006 tournament ACC blackout. The fact that they have not updated any info in regard to the 2007 tourney does not fill me with much hope that anything will be different this year. http://www.raycomsports.com/blackout.htm The...
