    Dish Pause

    Has anyone done Dish Pause recently? I'm going to be trying out AT&T U-Verse, and am wondering what the real fees are. I was told in a chat with a CSR that it was only $5, even if I had HD receivers. I know in the past (about 1.5 years ago) when I was on pause, that I had to pay for an HD...

    RV set up (2 HDTVs running on HDMI w/ Splitter)

    I'm actually in the process of coming up with an HDMI solution to feed the TV in my workout room. I ran a 35' HDMI cable and it works fine without the splitter, but with the splitter it's hit or miss, sometimes even freezing the TV. I think it's an HDCP issue. The splitter I used was the...

    Turn off tv with remote

    Right, but I'm using this tv in conjunction with an HDMI splitter. The other output goes to my projector. So if I turn off the tv, then go to the projector before it automatically goes into standby, since I use a harmony, then when the activity starts, the box will actually turn off and not on.

    Turn off tv with remote

    Is there anyway to turn off the satellite box (VIP722) and the television with the same button on the standard remote? I don't want to have to push TV power and the regular power. I also don't need a remote with macro's (I already have 4 harmony's but with this TV I want to use the standard...

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    Should I be seeing channel 155 in my guide yet? There is nothing there, I signed up for the Multi-Sports pack on Saturday, and received all the RSN within minutes.

    VIP 722 output question

    Good idea, I'll probably go this route. I'll split from the 722 to the reciever and the new TV. I really don't want to have the receiver on for the new TV, and also this way I can play xbox on my 120" screen, while the wife watches tv while on the treadmill.

    VIP 722 output question

    Right, I'm not really interested in having different content on both tv's (both will rarely in use at the same time), although i may just run the composite too for future :)

    VIP 722 output question

    I currently have my 722 hooked up to my projector via HDMI (through a receiver). I want to add a 37-42 LCD/Plasma in my workout room, but don't want another box. If I just run component cables and rca cables for audio to this room, will I get output eventhough I have both HDMI/component...

    Sirius raising prices!

    I haven't looked at the numbers, so I could be way off base here, and if I am, I apologize. With that said... I think SiriusXM has the subscribers, they have 20 million or something like that. The issue is they need capital and they need it soon, considering they have a massive amount of...

    Sirius raising prices!

    I'm guessing that according to the gov't what XM had was immaterial since Sirius basically took over XM.

    Sirius raising prices!

    Actually, they included 32kbps free with the first radio. They are getting rid of this completely and going to 128kbps which has always cost 2.99. So they are essentialy taking away a feature of the 12.95 subscription, I don't really see this as any different from them removing a channel (from a...

    The truth on programming access fees?

    I had this exact same situation... instead of switching between my xbox and vip722, I just picked up a cheap Linksys switch and plugged in the 360 and the Vip722... So I went Wireless Bridge->4 port switch->xbox,722 I also hooked up my HD DVD player at the time when I had that... no problems...

    Dishnetworks HD locals

    but if they are willing to put 1 on instead of all, why should they withold it? My DMA, Dayton, doesn't have any HD locals, but if they provided me with one as soon as they were able to I'd be somewhat happy. Sure I'd like them all, but I would be more disappointed if I knew that I could have...

    VIP-612 and Harmony 670

    I had this problem getting my 880 set up with my 612... In one of the settings menu's (I want to say system info, but am not sure) you can change the remote type to IR... then the 612 will work fine with your Harmony...

    Downgrade Receivers?

    So I'd have the option to add a 4th receiver later... I guess, I may as well wait until that time comes though... I guess I wanted to know if I downgrade one and then I'd be able to upgrade another at no cost.

    Downgrade Receivers?

    Can you downgrade a receiver for e* for no cost. Basically I'd want to take my 722, and get a 612, and then upgrade my 211 to a 612 so I can have 3 612's on my account.

    Disable VOD?

    I don't care about the hard drive usage, but I don't want it to use the bandwidth. It's my understanding that the VOD stuff is downloaded before it shows up in the guide, I'm guessing if i just hide it in the guide, that it will still download it.

    Disable VOD?

    Is it possible to disable VOD on the dish boxes. I don't really care about the hard drive space it takes up, but I don't like the fact that it's sucking up my bandwidth, and considering I never plan on renting any of the VOD stuff (I'll stick to BluRays on netflix), I don't need it downloaded...
