    Dish-ABC (and other) Dispute(s)

    Granted, my mistake. Any way you slice it; several channels that used to be in HD are HD no longer and additional channels that could be provided to Dish customers in HD, i.e. ESPNU, aren't. This has to be one of the longest running disputes with one of the country's biggest entertainment...

    Dish-ABC (and other) Dispute(s)

    The post was initiated by my curiosity of any hope in Dish resolving its dispute with ABC the parent company of ESPN, Disney, et al. It has, I think, been three years. Three months is nothing. I understand your confusion, but I think the three years estimated time is correct for the ongoing...

    Dish-ABC (and other) Dispute(s)

    Is there any hope that this dispute will ever get worked out in my lifetime? (only half kidding) What has it been now, three years? Seriously, come to terms already. The fact that this dispute has lasted for as long as it has must be discouraging to the ABC watchers out there; plus the Big 10...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I wish I could 'like' this about a billion more times. Payback for the annoying first step in any service call to any provider of Internet, pay TV, etc. Yeah, how 'bout you guys try that first before saying it's down? Nice.

    DISH Network Adding Nebraska Cornhusker Games

    I've been scouring the Uplinks to see if Dish was sending down signal for the B10 Network. How is it possible that Dish can do that and no Uplink traffic is generated? Obviously not complaining...just curious.

    HTPC tuner cards.

    These are actual solutions...in fact, better than a CableCard. When one network or another turns on the DRM, you're free to move the recordings to your Server and watch that programming on any TV in your house. With a CableCard 'solution' if DRM is turned on, you can only watch that recording on...

    Nebraska and the Big 10 Network on Dish after July 1

    That and *when* will it become available?

    Change Channels with USB or Ethernet or ...?

    Do any Dish HD receivers have the capability to have channels changed using USB, ethernet, or firewire? I know that DirecTV allows control over the firewire port, but does Dish offer any similar capability? I've been looking for awhile now and haven't found any definitive answers. Thank you in...

    Nebraska and the Big 10 Network on Dish after July 1

    OK, it's been almost a week and July 1 is nearly upon us. When is Nebraska getting the Big 10 Network as part of a core programming package? Please... Ah, Thank you. :)

    Hide Channel Display?

    Is it possible to suppress the channel information banner from being displayed when changing channels on Dish STBs, or turn it off altogether? I figured if it were possible at all, someone here would know the answer. :) Thank you, TC

    My 722 locks up

    We've been having the rebooting issue that I've been reading about here and elsewhere. My wife has noticed that the reset seems to happen when watching or changing channels to an OTA station. Sooo...not sure if that's the experience of others, but it's been ours. Would rather not replace this...

    211k x 4? Possible? Suggestions?

    OK, I *think* I have just two more questions: 1. How much would I be charged for the fourth receiver? I found a list price of $200, but retailers sell it for closer to $120 and if it will be $200 from Dish, can I just buy it on my own and have it sitting there waiting for the technician to...

    211k x 4? Possible? Suggestions?

    Thanks for the responses, all. What is mirroring? Using different outputs from the receiver to feed two TVs? I've been a customer for a while. We began service in 2007 (?). I know for certain that we are out of the two-year commitment that we entered into at the time of the installation. I...

    211k x 4? Possible? Suggestions?

    When we initially were installed for Dish we had two HDTVs. Our install included a Dish 1000.2 and we had a VIP222 and a VIP722 setup. We now own four HDTVs and I would like to be able to take advantage of the picture quality on all of the TVs as opposed to just two. My thought is to dump my...

    Deciphering Pricing Hieroglyphics

    Found my own answer this morning. It is as I surmised in the OP: $69.95 + $9.95 + $2.54 (x2) = $84.98 before taxes. The only caveat was that the CSR stated that a technician would need to come out to 'install' the service. I want the two cablecards to install them in either a Ceton InfiniTV or...

    Deciphering Pricing Hieroglyphics

    I was attempting to decipher the pricing structure for Time Warner Cable in Lincoln. I attempted a 'Chat' only to have the CSR tell me that service wasn't available for my location. Um, yeah, sure. Anyway, here is a link to the pricing in Lincoln, NE: Lincoln Rates | Time Warner Cable |...

    5/20/2009 1:39pm - Uplink Activity Report - 217 changes

    I'm in Lincoln, NE and am setup only for the Western Arc...does this mean that I have locals in HD now? I had the understanding that locals in my market were only going to be placed on the Eastern Arc. Any answers? Thank you for your help!

    ViP722 - Keeps losing all Sats

    Your problem sounds a lot like the problem I was having with my 222 for a few weeks not all that long ago. The problem went away, but being that it's a different receiver with no DVR, who knows if the problem is even all that similar. Not a very helpful response, but I wish you the best!

    FOX Business Signs Distribution Agreement with DISH Network

    Looks like there was some contractual back and forth to settle the disagreement the two had: Dish - OK, we'll put FNC in all of our packages, but if people want FBC, they'll have to get one of our top packages. Fox - Um, OK.

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    This back and forth could go on all day...I'll agree to disagree with you HDRoberts. We have differing opinions on the matter and that's not going to change. Mojo...if an observation and a compliment constitute having a brownnose, then guilty as charged.

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    What's the hurry to close this thread? The Voom thread stayed up for nearly 3000 posts before it was closed and the reason the thread was created was to discuss the removal of Voom from the Dish list of channels. So Voom was gone, and the thread stayed open for almost six months and 3000 posts...

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Why? Fox News HD is still not available for everyone who should eventually have access to it, so why close the thread. Why not close the uplink threads that are over a week old? There's is nothing to be gained from discussions on those threads yet they remain open. If you're requesting...
