The wife showed me the letter when I was in town for the holidays. Really disappointing. Three and some odd years doesn't qualify a package as being refered to a "grandfathered". We decided to take a chance and ante-up for the new "HD Only" that didn't have much to begin with, in the hopes that...

I couldn't get the SAT Mode into Learning Mode either.

I want to program the colored buttons in SAT Mode. Like kstuart suggested many posts ago, I also prefer to use my TV's speakers as the general default. Then for movies, music channels, prime-time dramas etc., I prefer to use my stereo receiver/good speakers. IN SATELLITE MODE: I'd like to...

It is what it is: a cheap tv for the bedroom. It was that way with the Olevia's original remote, too. I don't know if it's poor IR reception on the tv's part or poor transmission from the original remote. For all I know, the 21.0 may have learned weak signals from the original remote. I'm not...

Now that is helpful info, but do we have confirmation from fellow forum members that a single drive over 1TB is working reliably. It sounds like 1TB is confirmed. Thanks for the link. Yes. I don't want to lose my saved programs but, as you said, drives are are more reliable these days and it...

My Volume, Mute, On/Off, and 5-way Nav functions respond fairly well. But functions like Sleep, Input Selections, Brightness, etc: is like shooting craps. I might get a response every 4th time I press the button. And yes, that's pointing right at the IR window and allowing a second or two...

I'm not trying to convince anyone here to share my opinion about FNC's political position relative to the middle. In fact I haven't even declared what that opinion is. I simply stated that I prefer Fox News. Furthermore it's not my goal to have a neutral, or even average, opinion. I agree...

You seem determined to convince me that I should accept CNN as a reasonable and unbiased standard for tv journalism. Well, I don't. As for the people off the street, they can dictate what news channel I should be satisfied with when they pay my Dish Network bill every month. No need to pity me...

You may feel that CNN is general and not loaded with liberal bias, but I don't. I watch it, but I can only take so much of it. How is MSNBC's AT200 position proof that they are not treating "left" and "right" stations differently? I don't know that there is intent to make Fox News require...

Oh, I found it at 9477. RED, Damn you Dish! I see three useless channels in a row that I'd easily trade for one Fox News: CNBC, CNN, GREEN. So is Dish going to continue to charge extra for Fox News, while CNBC & CNN are included in the cheaper, more easily available teir? Meanwhile libs...

I got a Western Digital 640GB Hard Drive and put it in a Antec MX-1 enclosure in May '08. It's worked flawlessly, but now it's getting full (Cinemax for a penny). I paid $100 for my WD back then and just yesterday saw it for $60. I thougt about getting another since the first has been so great...

Oh, I was so fired up when I learned of this new remote! We got an Olevia 227V two years ago for the bedroom. It was a pretty good value for the time. But I realized soon after how much I detested the fact that I had to juggle two remotes just to manage the Olevia's volume. I've commented to...

HELLO, Good to hear!:clap However I'm not seein' it.:( I don't even know what my programming package is called now. I signed up for HD Only plus my Locals last year after it became available. I haven't changed anything since. Does that make me "HD Absolute", "HD Only Turbo"...what? And I'm...

After I posted, I realized that I typed MSNBC instead of CNBC. Is there really any difference? Anyway, I edited that as soon as I looked it up to confirm CNBC is also in the basic tier. So that's at least two liberal-biased news channels. That's just the way libs like it though: readily...

Funny how liberals often engage the mantra of free speech when it suits them. But, of course, that only applies to people whose free speech is congruent with their liberal ideas. Besides, if you're not interested in Fox News, then why are you even in this thread, other than to persecute those...

I just installed the WD 640GB hard drive in the MX-1. Called to activate the feature on my 722. It formatted to 595GB. And recorded stuff is transfering as I type. Easy.

It's not that I want to jump on a Seagate bashing bandwagon. But, from what I've been reading lately about hard drives, WD is the way to go. I'm not a gambling man, I'll just go with the herd on this one. I ordered the Antec MX-1 for $30 + sh from Frys this weekend. Mostly great reviews...

Well, yesterday after posting, I found the MX-1 at Frys for $30 and pulled the triggger. I figured, if I wait, they'd be out of stock by the time I did my normal obsessive amount of research. If the WD AAKS series is particularly reliable, I'll shop for that. Thanks.

I read great reviews about the Antec MX-1 External Enclosure. It's actively cooled with a 40mm fan and quiet. It has a USB and eSATA interface. It's around $60 with shipping, I missed a great deal on it last month after MIR. I'll watch out for another deal. I was thinking that I'd be better of...

Cool. I'll do some searching to find those threads.

Thanks. More good info. So: Composite & S-Video are good up to 480i Component, DVI, & HDMI are good up to 1080p (although DVI doesn't apply in this situation given 722's lack of DVI output) Right?

That's great.:mad: We law-abiding legitimate patrons have to suffer the consequences of the cheaters actions.

Even if I employ my best negotiating skills, I don't think dish is going to give me three HD DVRs. Even if they did I, I'm not really excited about the additional monthly fees associated with them. And one of the major reasons for distributing from one DVR receiver is to have access to all of...

So our Component Out can be limited remotely?

"generally" is there to emphasize that this applies to all equipment, not just 722. Or did I get that wrong? Are there instances where these do transmit HD signals? I was just acknowledging that you don't want to use 28AWG for a 50ft HDMI cable run or RG59 for a 50ft Component cable run for...
