    Font changes on the 722k

    Did they recently change the font on the 722k? It just looks different. Like a more monospaced blah font rather than what was there. I've been doing a lot of reading and font work, so I don't know if it's me, or something changed. Thanks,

    Screen Dim On pause

    Did anyone notice that (or maybe I missed it.) that on the 446 version, after the DVR is paused for 1 min, the screen goes to 50% brightness? I was tickled, b/c the pause bar easily ghosts on our plasma with the bright whites they use.

    HBO/Starz HD on East and West Coast

    So we were watching a movie on Starz West last night, and it tagged the in HD where available. Got me thinking, does the West coast only get the East coast HD on the channels, or do they get a separate HD Channel? If so, Why doesn't Dish open up those feeds to all? You'd think it be an easy...
