    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just spent about an hour online chatting and waiting...mostly waiting. I was polite and honest in that I told them I was shopping for another provider because of the AMC situation. The first rep offered me a month of free Cinemax; I told her that I previously had Cinemax and didn't see the...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Earlier this week, I think on Monday, I heard a radio commercial telling people that DISH was planning on dropping the AMC networks and to make the switch to AT&T U-verse...whoops.

    Picture and sound problems with G4 nearly every week. Sick of it!!

    I DVR all new episodes of X-Play & AOTS in HD and outside of the occasional technical issue on their end, I've never had any problems.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I'm outside of Chicago and just before 6 am, I had all of my HD channels, then out of nowhere, as I was watching one of them, my HD locals disappeared and have yet to reappear.

    PPV Redstate

    That's one dollar more than it is on iTunes or Amazon, but that's basically the going rate. It costs so much because it's a limited time "preview," once the DVD/Blu-ray hits the market in October, the rental prices will drop.

    Center Ice and League Pass

    To answer my own question, I asked Scott if he could check this out for me and he was kind enough to do so in the "FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device" Sticky Thread. The Broadband LP does indeed work with Google TV, but the games aren't in HD, as the NBA doesn't appear to use HD for the...

    FIRST LOOK - Logitech Revue GoogleTV Device

    I'm considering the Revue and there's one thing that could make this decision an easy one for me. Given the lack of HD in Dish's version of the NBA League Pass this year, I was wondering if the online version of LP is compatible with Google TV and if so, what the picture quality is like. If it...

    Center Ice and League Pass

    Has anyone heard anything about the online version of LP working on Google TV? I'm curious if the NBA blocks the feed like some of the networks are doing to Google TV and if it works, I'm curious as to the quality.

    Center Ice and League Pass

    Yeah, I am not at all happy about the lack of LP games in HD either. Last season, I watched all of the Lakers games and I don't recall any of their home games and only a few road games being broadcast in SD only. Tonight's game, which is at home, is only available in SD on LP despite the fact...

    NBA League Pass Available!

    Shot down again; I mentioned that I wanted to order the package prior to the season, but that it wasn't an option due to a DISH/NBA contractual issue. This time I was told that DISH "did not have a chance to offer it before the season started," however they "did have it as a free preview for a...

    NBA League Pass Available!

    I was going to order, but when I asked about the Early Bird deal since the package was just made available over the weekend, I was told, "Sorry to let you know NBA league pass is not available on any discount as of now." I'll have to try again w/another rep.

    NBA Season Pass

    I blame this one on the NBA, it looks they have been renegotiating all of their deals (outside of network TV); today they finally announced that SIRIUS XM Radio would be carrying more than 1,000 regular season games along w/the entire post season. I mean come on now, the season begins tomorrow...

    Bad Dish 1000.2?

    The dish is now back on the roof and things are back to normal. Turned out that the installer's meter was misreading the 119 as the 129; once that was discovered, he realized that the location he had picked on the ground would not work due to a neighbor's large oak tree. So, it's back on the...

    Bad Dish 1000.2?

    The drift was on one of the heads that the installers were trying out, the original head and others that have been tried are all okay. I've been searching this forum like a madman for the past week trying to find anything that sounds like my situation, today I found this thread, which sounds...

    Bad Dish 1000.2?

    Switched reflectors and still no 129; now the system info is indicating LNB drift, which it hadn't before.

    Bad Dish 1000.2?

    The left side is where he said that he could see the problem with the dish (I didn't notice anything, but I don't know what I'm looking for either); it's supposed to be replaced tonight. Thanks for all of the input guys, it's been much appreciated! :)

    Bad Dish 1000.2?

    I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to Dish, I lack greatly in technical knowhow, but is it possible that a dish can "go bad?" A little over a month ago, we had pretty heavy rain for several days in IL and for the two weeks that followed, channels that are on the 129 would frequently...

    Cinemax for a penny?

    Thanks for the reminder ped832! :D I had forgotten about the original post back in December; I justed chatted with a CSR and had it added.

    NBA League Pass - Why so few games in HD?

    Good thing there are so many available NBAHD channels listed in the guide; according to the schedule the most HD games on any one night in November is three. Looks like I'll skip LP this year.

    NBA League Pass - Why so few games in HD?

    I'm a big Lakers fan and I'm contemplating purchasing League Pass, however I have one major concern...the lack of games in HD. Tonight for example, only the game shown in HD is on NBATV (Cleveland @ Phoenix). I know that FSN West broadcasts Lakers games in HD, just curious if anyone knows why...

    DishComm troubleshooting

    Manually add the other receiver on each unit's DishComm Setup (menu-6-1-8). Once both units are able to "see" each other, enter Phone System Setup (menu-6-1-4) on the remote unit and choose "Remote" for the Modem Type. After that, test the connection and you should be able to call out. Hope...

    HomePlug built into the 622, How cool is that?

    My second 622, the remote unit, was having the same problem where the IP address was listed and broadband would show "ok," yet I could not call out. Initially, I only had the remote unit plugged into the wall, while the unit connected to the router was plugged into a surge protector. I needed...

    4 TV's (2 HD)...how can I make this work?

    Thanks Mike, I e-mailed the executive office late last night and much to my surprise (considering yesterday was the 4th), I heard back from a rep before noon today. A couple of e-mails later, just to confirm that I wanted to upgrade to HD service and that I was looking to lease two 622's and the...

    4 TV's (2 HD)...how can I make this work?

    Hey everyone- As you can see, I'm new here...long time lurker, first time poster. I currently have a 522 and a 322 that handle the four TV's in my house; two of those TV's are HDTV's (they share the 522) and are being underutilized. I'm looking to add HD service and I'm trying to figure out...
