    Help With Moving/Satmaps

    I'm planning to move this fall (for real), and I want to make sure I can still access sports programming that's important to me (via "moving"). I found a DMA that will carry my teams, but the city where I'm moving is just barely outside the blue ring on SatMaps. Will I actually be able to...

    922 Streaming

    I was given three free months of BBMP which are up in January. I'm a current Netflix sub, and was hoping to access all the features of BBMP (including streaming to my 922 box) before the trial ended so I could give it a fair shot. Store trade-in is worthless to me, as I don't live anywhere...

    Program Guide only 36 Hours

    Woke up this morning to find that my program guide only goes out 36 hours (I'm using a 922). Haven't made any changes, and I did both a reboot and a check switch. Any thoughts? I didn't know if the addition of the Starz channels might cause this. Oh, and I did a chat with a tech agent, who...

    DirecTV to Offer Sunday NFL Ticket to Non-Subscribers Online

    DirecTV to offer NFL Sunday Ticket to non-subscribers via the internet - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com My error...that's what I get for not reading the entire article. You have to verify you can't receive D* service to qualify. If a moderator wants to delete this...

    Playing Home Media with 5.1

    Anybody know of a way to get home media to play in Dolby 5.1? Currently when I play it's only in the front speakers, and if I could get possibly music to play in the back speakers, I'd really love to do so.

    "Moving" and 922

    Anyone else have success in "moving" with a 922 (specifically, them allowing you to do a self-install after your professional installation)?

    Dishin' It Up

    I'm not under contract with Dish, but I'm interested in upgrading to a 922 through DIU. Chatting with an online CSR last week, I was told that I couldn't combine any other programming or financial incentive offers with Dishin It Up. Anyone know if this is true, have recent experiences which...

    Reformatting a Dish EHD for Personal Use

    I recently purchased a new 1TB EHD to use with my Dish 622 as extra storage space. I'd love to take the 500 GB drive I had been using and use the storage space to back up my desktop computer (there are no more Dish programs on the drive--I just want to use the drive again). My computer doesn't...

    622 Scheduling Problem

    I have a VIP 622, and my DVR is set to record three shows which air in the same time slot tonight: NBC's "The Office," FOX's "Fringe," and CBS' "CSI". I receive all of my networks from Dish, and only ABC over the air. I believe CSI is set with the lowest timer order, which normally means it...

    Epix & Dish in Talks

    If Dish wants to continue to attack DirecTV, they should immediately sign to carry Viacom's new premium channel Epix at launch (now that DirecTV has officially passed on doing so). Then, they should market themselves as "the official satellite carrier" of Epix--and by extension, the only place...

    Another 922 Release Thread

    Sorry to start a new thread, but VBulletin won't let me comment on anything from a couple of months ago. Any new updates on a release timeframe for the 922 (now that it's in beta)? Are we talking October, December, next April, never :)?

    Royals/FSN-HD

    Anyone else in Kansas City DMA notice that Dish has dropped the Royals tonight in HD (the SD coverage is still there, on 444, but I know for a fact the game was supposed to be in HD tonight--Dish even had it on the guide last night)?

    FSN in HD?

    Didn't I read somewhere in 2008 that FSN would go 100% HD in 2009? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was the case (something about a new production facility in Houston opening).

    NBC Audio Loud

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but my NBC primetime programming is extremely loud. I use a 5.1 Dolby Surround system, and I routinely have to turn it way down when watching a program on NBC. Has anyone else noticed this (I have the Kansas City DMA stations--that's KSHB on NBC...

    MLB Network HD--1/1/09

    I just read that MLB Network HD will launch on January 1, and that DirecTV and several cable carriers will carry it at launch. Is there a reason why Dish always drags its heals on channels and never carries them at launch? If I run a cell phone company and I only offer hot new phones (i.e. the...

    Thank You NBC For Using the NBA on NBC Music

    I tuned in to the US/China Olympic basketball game this morning, and much to my delight, they were using the old NBA on NBC music cues for the game. I think this is one of the best sports themes ever, and I couldn't be happier that they're finding a use for it (after the NBA went to ABC/ESPN).

    D*/E* Merger?

    Washington, D.C. (August 5, 2008) -- Dish Network is considering merging with rival satcaster DIRECTV, The Wall Street Journal reported today. The newspaper reports that the companies have not discussed a formal proposal, but have had "general discussions" about the idea. The two satcasters...

    Turbo & Existing Subs

    I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm still irked by Dish's decision not to offer the new Turbo HD Only packages to existing subscribers. I'm a big sports fan, and the reason I didn't switch to HD Absolute was that my RSNs aren't included in that package (but are in the new one). When I...

    722 & End of 18-Month Contract

    Apologies if this is an existing thread...I couldn't find one that addressed it directly. I'm currently using a 622. I'm about one month out from the end of my 18-month term, and the Dish'n It Up price for a 722 is $125. Two questions: will the price on that go down after my 18 months are up...

    Another Dish/Ethernet Question

    Any of you "movers" out there use the ethernet connection to avoid the phone line charge? If so, has anyone been caught by E* for not living where you're supposed to live? Just curious;

    Starz HD

    Not to be greedy (I love several of the new HD channel additions--starting with USA Network HD), but is there any chance we'll see additional Starz channels in HD? I may be wrong, but I believe Starz is the only premium that still only has just one HD channel associated with it on E* (and I...

    Black Screen on DVR Shows (612)

    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it: Sometimes when I'm recording a show or a movie, I get a black screen for about the first 15-20 seconds. When I use the 30-second skip button, this moves me past the black screen, but it's somewhat annoying. I recorded "Spider-Man 3" on Starz recently...

    USA, Sci-Fi HD Today?

    For the uninformed, when does E* generally launch new channels during the day? I'm up first thing in the morning today, and neither USA nor Sci-Fi HD are in my program guide. Any chance we'll see them later in the day?

    Changing Programming Packages

    Is there anything to keep me from moving up to Top 250 tonight from 200 and then switching back tomorrow? There's a game I'd like to see on ESPNU, and otherwise I'm happy with 200.

    Contract Ending Question

    If there's a thread on this, I'm sorry, but I'm just curious. My Dish contract is set to expire in August, and I'm curious what happens when that deadline passes. Do I have to agree to new terms of service, is a new contract automatically started, am I able to pay by the month with no...
