    Epix no longer a part of DISH movie Pack??

    Did anyone also happen to see that they also removed MGM-HD from the movie package. It was 15 channels now down to 11. I really liked MGM-HD. Added later: I just noticed this thread is old, but i was getting all 15 chnnels from the movie package up to last month when i got disconnected due to...

    Winter Olympics: No closing ceremony in 4K?

    My guide does not show channel 540 at all, why is this...I just had the 4k Joey put in 3 days ago. Can anyone help...also, I noticed on the dish settings under TV You can choose 4k, 1080p,1080i (all one setting) or 720p. Isn't it true that 4k tv's only upscale progressive signals, so I have to...

    DIRECTV Launches $30 Premier PPV Service Thursday

    I am sure for some people this will work out fine, but for me, I can be patient and wait a few months and buy the Blu-ray, which has an uncompressed picture (yes even 1080p is compressed on sat) and lossless audio, and actually own the movie forever with all the extras. Seems like a huge waste...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    My biggest fear! My heart goes out to you. I have 6 external drives and worry about that every day. You might want to think about getting an external hard drive, the enclosures I hear about always seem to break down, especially the switches. Oh, and I probably would have cried. You don't get...

    3D Comes To DISH Network

    Yes it sure can, but it does not pass 1080p to each eye, I believe the PS3 is mostly 720p 3D. Only HDMI 1.4 can transmit 1080p (for each eye).

    3D Comes To DISH Network

    Microsoft refuses to offer an exterenal Blu-ray drive, which may have something to do with the fact they spent millions backing Hd-DVD and the format lost, so maybe some pride involved? Meanwhile, blu-ray is going mainstream and Microsoft should offer the drvie if they were smart.

    3D Comes To DISH Network

    That's great to hear, thanks for that information Scott. I just ordered my new JVC RS-50 3D D-ila projector and 4 pairs of glasses, and have about 15 Blu-ray 3D titles so far, but am excited to see more on Dish. I don't think I'd pay $7.99 for them through, I would much rather just wait for 2-3...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I also purchased the Western Digital Elements 1TB drive, it will be my 5th drive (the others are Seagate Freeagents). I have not opened it yet, I was looking through the thread but it is SO long I search but could still not find any info. Is this a drive that you can hook up right to Dish DVR...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Thanks for your response. I have 3 Seagate Freeagents (tghe black ones from a few years ago) and one freeagent pro 750gb. I leave them unplugged, and when I want to watch a movie on them plug it in, and of course it always registers. I figure this is less wear on the drive than it spinning all...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I have read so many pages in this thread but there are so many posts so I hope no one minds if I just ask already......I have 4 Seagate Freeagent (black model from 2 years ago) external stand-up drives and they have worked beautifully. I have noticed that the recent models don't get the greatest...

    New Dishnetwork.com website is up!

    I agree with you. I looked at DirecTV front page and it's much more exciting and eye-grabbing. I can't sign in to Dish right now (errors) to see more, so I'll have to wait. But their front page still needs a revamp.

    Dish Pricing Update

    Well, being a big movie fan myself, the ten-thousand-some titles Netflix has to offer for streaming just doesn't kick it for me. Take out the thousands of tv series episodes (in which each episode is counted as a separate title) and the thousands of one and two-star movies (out of 5) and there...

    Dish no longer BBB Member

    Hmmmm....I've been with Dish 3 years now and have been a happy camper since I had it installed. Lots of new HD, got my Duluth, MN HD locals a few months ago, great DVR and love the external hard drives I have filled, very happy indeed. Only upset I can think of was the loss of Monsters HD and...

    Dish you have Disapointed .Again!

    I havn't been able to find any carriers with BBC America. Those ads stating BBCA going high def were not Dish's ads but BBC's. I have a feeling we will be getting BBC very soon, sadly AFTER the 2 shows I enjoyed are over, How do you solve a problem like Maria and Joseph and the Amazing...

    Is HD what you thought it would be ?

    I am enjoying the HD, when the HD channels actually show it, much of the programming is still SD. There's still no comparison to a movie on Blu-ray with so much less compression in the picture and the lossless audio. The lossless audio on Blu-ray is a HUGE advantage for me, after you hear it you...

    Now that Direct has PBS HD what are the odds Dish will follow?

    Still waiting. And waiting. I really get angry when I have to watch some of the great shows like the Boston Pops or Great Performances in standard def. Of course I cannot complain too bitterly, as we just got our other 4 HD locals for Duluth, Minnesota a few months ago and it has been pure...

    DISH Network(R) Reports First Quarter 2009 Financial Results

    I agree that Dish's marketing has never been as good as DirecTV. Every week I get a letter in the (postal) mail from DirecTV with deals, color brochures, ect, but my friends never get one to join up with Dish. I am not sure why the other people left. I am very happy with my service, my DVR is...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    OK guys I thought I better report this. For over a year I've had nothing but problems, as you can see by my earlier posts with my 622 and my Seagate Freeagent drives (2-500gb and one 750gb). Errors like "Drive is in use by other TV" or "Drive not compatable with Dish Network" or the movie...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I am just curious what you would do. The back port USB is obviously bad because the front works for the external drives, but everything else has worked perfectly, would you accept the new refurbished model they are sending ? I went and looked at the threads and many say that the refurb can...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    WOW! I have to seriously thank you for mentioning the 2 ports. I never saw the other USB port in the front. Basically I only opened that door for rebooting...I switched the USB cable to the jack in the front and tried all 3 drives and everything seems to be working. I can't believe it...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I connect them separately. When I want to use one of them, I plug in the USB cable first then the power cable (both to the drive I want to use). So the USB cable always stays in the dvr, I just connect the other end to the drive I want to use (along with the power cable for the drive). So I use...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Thanks for your response. First, I did several reboots of the 622. Second, I am very confused as to your other instructions. I am not familiar with the Linux stand-alone disc and what it is or where to get it. Since I am not familiar with it and the other instructions are a little too high tech...
