    Why are you leaving Dish Network Poll

    Well thats good. I was basing the "still have same boxes" on a Google search for "Comcast HD DVR" and going to Comcast DVR and HD-DVR Service | Prices and Costs | Recorders And the DCX3400 sounds like the DCT3412 I tried before I left them. I've had their 34xx's and 64xx's

    Why are you leaving Dish Network Poll

    I am staying. I have had Dish for 2 years now, had Comcast HD DVR, Dish is so much better. Comcast's HD DVRs were utter crap, same base as their non DVR boxes, and same clunky GUI as thier SD boxes. My 722 from Dish can run circles around the Comcast HD DVR boxes. Expandable storage? Not with...

    Just a few questions about moving, receivers, etc.

    Just got off the phone with Dish (also wanted to change the name on my account) and they said the safest way to do it would be to use DishMover and move my stuff over to the new place, and have the person who is staying here, sign up for a new plan. This sounds unappealing to me because it would...

    external hdd enabled for both dish and pc

    Would it be possible to edit the partition tables and resize it? or copy say a 250GB HDD's partition onto a 500GB HDD? Kind of like they do in AppleTV's to upgrade the HDDs. How-to: Upgrade the drive in your Apple TV - Engadget

    External Storage Configuration/Multiple HD's

    It would only see one drive at a time. Need to only have one plugged in at a time for it to work. If when you take the HDD out of its slot, its like disconnecting the USB cable to it, then in theory it SHOULD work.

    Why doesn't E* up the resolution on ScFi to 720x480?

    Unrelated (probably) but Comcast has similarily crappy res on their SciFi channel, its worse than other channels, digital or not.

    Moving programs form 625 to 722..?

    Maybe I mixed Mac's HFS+ With *nix's ext3 and the fact that it has been mentioned several times on this forum about E* using Linux filesystems/OS's.:confused: Also when did post count have anything to do with intelligence.

    Moving programs form 625 to 722..?

    EFS is actually Encrypting File System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Which means they are probably encrypted using the boxes ID or something, not 100% sure. Might even be your account number, since they allow you to move your shows using the External HD between any 622/722 on your account...

    Questions on using existing wiring for a 322 box.

    Yeah thats basically what I drew up in my diagram. The black boxes are these things: http://www.prosatellitesupply.com/images/Separator_DPP-2.jpg What Diplexors would best satisfy Dish Network techs? Where can I get them? Still learning all about how all this works, long time CATV user :P

    Questions on using existing wiring for a 322 box.

    I want to buy a 322, hook Satellite input #1 and #2 up to the third satellite wire that the installer left free for my future use. The other two are hooked up to inputs 1 and 2 on a 722 and a 625 I was reading this Tech Portal : 322 But I don't have two wires coming off the Dish to use for the...

    Various Dish Network Questions (potential new subscriber)

    They installed it this past Saturday. Love it so far. 722 is much better than the box I had from Comcast. TV would have HD snow coming from the Comcast box over HDMI if the TV was off for a minute and the box was still on. I also like that the box can be off and still record, Box has to turn on...

    Various Dish Network Questions (potential new subscriber)

    I really like the feature of adding USB HDDs for more storage. DirecTV doesn't do that from what I read. Also Dish has Buzztime Trivia. Both a major improvement over Comcast. Also Comcast has way less HD channels at the current time than both Dish and DirecTV so ANY improvement in the number of...

    Various Dish Network Questions (potential new subscriber)

    What about if I want two TVs to have one dual tuner DVR each and two other TVs to just have a regular set top box? I assume that those additional set top boxes past the two dual tuner DVRs would cost me. How much? And I want it to be similar to how I have it now. We use the heck out of our DVRs...

    Various Dish Network Questions (potential new subscriber)

    Currently have Comcast, spent a long time pondering making the switch and comparing my choices and etc etc. Comcast's DVR software is crappy, as many of you have probably dealt with, has low space for HDTV recordings aswell. And its like $130 a month, even though we don't get all the channels...
