Thanks hyperguy. They did ask me that but really wasn't sure what all that entailed. I figured if I rejoin I would like to get newer receivers. My 622 has been a workhorse for many years...just figured it would go out eventually...sooner or later.

Thanks KAB for the quick response. I just did a search on cacellation and found a thread from the summer (I think you responded the same on that one). Much appreciated. I would like to keep the dish intact in case I do come back. Yes, I did officially cancel though they were going to give...

Hi, after 10 years with Dish, I decided to give U-Verse a try. It was a really hard decision since overall I've been very happy with Dish. The only sticking point I had was the signal going out everytime a severe thunderstorm came through our area (when I needed information the most), but I...

Skipping it only skips it for that one channel...unfortunately it airs at the same time on three different channels. If it airs again later that day, I have to repeat the process over again. I'll lock out the SD and the duplicate HD channels. Thanks for both of your quick responses! Larry

Hopefully a simple question but say I have my dvr set up to record anytime it see the name "McCartney" in the title or description. As I go through my list and it finds a show I've already see, I tell it to skip it from the HD channel it found it on. Then it goes and adds the SD version of the...

Thank you all for the information and the quick replies! Very much appreciated! Larry

Is there any way to block the porn channels and the other PPV channels while scrolling through the online guides. I hate scrolling through all the NBA and NHL games I'll never purchase and I don't want my kids reading the titles and descriptions on all the porn PPV channels. Thanks! Larry

Agreed! It was very hard to listen too. I thought it was the audio settings on my HDTV but I went to my SD TV to watch it and the audio was just as bad. I recorded the 1st rebroadcast and was also bad. It's airing on Saturday so hopefully it will be fixed.

Based on several phone calls with CSR's, a new customer is defined as one that has not had Dish service for 1 year.

Just wish NHL would be back on ESPN given this announcement....

...if you are a music fan Dish HD is a winner hands down. RAVE has exceeded my expectations since upgrading to HD last Friday, showing all the great Soundstage concerts in HD that I never got on my local OTA PBS station here. Plus the recent Queen tour, Chile Peppers, MusicCare tribute to...

My A&E HD is hit and miss...when it doesn't work it starts looking for a satellite.

Just got the 622 installed today and used my existing component cable and they work great...not going to rush out for another hdmi cable. I was surprised that I could hook my OTA antenna into it and record OTA events. I also bought the HD locals as well. The PQ is very good. However, I've...

Doh! Forgot to mention that I'm using that hdmi cable for my upconvert dvd player (no component outs on that one).

Thanks Brian and BuddyBoy for the feedback. I did spend $30 for an hdmi cable at Walmart but will use the component I have until I order one from one of your recommendations. Forgot to mention we have the Sony 40" LCD with 3 hdmi inputs.

I'm getting my 622 on Tuesday. I know it has hdmi and component outs on TV1. I've got an unused component cable collecting dust. If I use that instead of buying another HDMI cable, will I notice that big of a difference in picture quality? Larry

I've been told by serveral DISH csr's that to be considered a "new" customer is not to have DISH service for over a year. No service for over 180 days and returning you are considered a "returning" customer an you don't get any reactivation fees waived.

Wow, I thought my tv tube was finally giving out. Thanks for the info. Larry

OK, so I called again asking them how to cancel my service. The Indian CSR transfers me back to a US CSR. To be considered a "new" member, I cannot have service for 1 year. A "returning" customer is one coming back after 180 days. Then I ask about the DHPP and she says as long as I commit...

Just heard back from ceo that DHPP is NOT included in the DVR Advantage package.

Sorry, forgot to add the HD piece ($20). I was very specific about wanting the DVR Advantage with 250 and she said $52.99 + $5 for locals. I've seen other posts where people couldn't get the 250 with DVR Advantage unless they picked up a premium channel as well for an additional $10. I...

I just called to upgrade to the the DVR Advantage + HD and there was no waiving of the DHPP in their system. I went to the web site with the CSR on the phone and sure enough, it's nowhere in site as included in their description of the DVR Advantage. I was quoted $57.99 for Top 250 w/ locals...

My understanding is yes as long as you sign up for the 18 month committment. Early cancellation fee is $13.33 * number of months remaining.

Just got of the phone with a nice csr that spoke English and said if I dropped Dish for 6 months and returned, I would be considered a "former" subscriber and would have to pay a $49 activation charge when returning. Is this a new term as of 2/1/07?

I'm assuming the free no upfront cost/no rebate HD DVR will be for new subscribers only. However, I've fulfillled my committment period. So theoretically could I cance my service and return my receivers, then resign as a new subscriber (or use my wife's name possibly?). Or is there defined...
