    December 18th Dish Retailer Chat Recap

    Where do you get $22.00 for these 2 premiums? As I read the slides on Page 1, they are $10 each.

    Uplink Activity 12/11/08 7:00 PM ET 19 changes Young GONE

    If the DBS providers (including DISH) are prohibited from providing distant network signals to their customers in order to protect the ad revenues of local stations, why are the local stations allowed to blackmail the DBS providers with excessive carriage fee demands? Since the local stations...

    Hide Progress Bar?

    I should have done a search before posting my question. :(I found this infomation in a post from 2006: Here is the link: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/81666-625-dvr-seamless-slo-mo-timers-list.html#post719944

    Hide Progress Bar?

    Is there any way to hide the progress bar that appears at the bottom of the screen when the "Pause" button is pressed? Sometimes, there are things I want to see on the bottom portion of the screen when the program is paused, but the progress bar covers up this area. I have a ViP722.

    Birmingham, AL Locals

    I guess I just assumed that Dish would want to move the locals in order to free up space on the Western Arc birds. However, if they are not going to add new programming (costs them money), there is really no need for the extra space. Also, swapping out dishes to the 1000.4 would also cost Dish...

    Birmingham, AL Locals

    Since the Birmingham DMA has officially been switched over to Eastern Arc, how long will it be before the Birmingham locals (HD and SD) are removed from the Western Arc sats?

    Houston on the Move?

    Anyone want to venture a guess as to whether or not DISH cutomers in Houston will eventually be moved to the Eastern Arc? I would have thought that Houston is too far west, but with the move of Austin, TX to the Eastern Arc, I am not so certain any more.

    Uplink Activity

    Actually, it is the morning after the Tuesday after the first Monday. Election day is not always on the first Tuesday. It has to follow the first Monday (therefore, the Tuesday after the first Monday). Thus, election day can never be on November 1st (All Saints Day) and can be as late as...

    Another Fees Question

    I checked the connection at the back of the receiver and it was fine. I then checked the connection at the phone jack (actually the DSL filter), and the connection was fine. Luckily, I looked more closely, and to my surprise I realized that my DSL line, instead of the phone cord, was plugged...

    Another Fees Question

    I'm not going to complain too much. I went from two 510's and a 625 to two ViP722's. I still have four tuners and now get HD programming. It only costs me $1.02 a month more.

    Another Fees Question

    Thanks. That makes sense. It's the way I understood it was supposed to be. The way it is stated on the website is just VERY confusing! I'll check the phone connection on the 2nd receiver to make sure. It's plugged into a phone jack through a DSL filter (like the other receiver). I'll make...

    Another Fees Question

    I do not have any of the premium movie services (HBO, etc.). Under "Current Programming" it does say GoldHD.

    Another Fees Question

    I recently upgraded to two ViP722's. Prior to the upgrade I had DishDVR Advantage with America's Top 250 and locals. When I upgraded, I was told that I would have to pay $10 a month more for the HD programming. Both of my receivers are connected to a phone line and one is also connected to my...

    Dish to offer Interactive Election Coverage

    I just wish that they do like DirecTV and keep a full-time 6-channel news offering and a full-time 6-channel sports offering.

    Multi-Screen Offerings

    Any chance of Dish offering more of the multi-channel channels (like DirecTV does with news and sports) than just the Dish Home channel? I know that we have the PIP option (which is great), but I like Direct's multi-news (especially on election nights) and multi-sports channels. Is bandwidth...

    Eastern Arc Expands Again

    I assume that at some point the locals in the DMA's assigned to the new EA will all be switched to the EA satellites. When this happens, what will happen to existing customers in EA DMA's who are now pointed at the WA satellites? I see 3 choices: be moved to EA; be required to add a wing...

    Thumb Drive as EHD

    Can a zip drive/thumb drive/flash drive be used as an external hard drive for the ViP 722, so that downloaded movies can be transfered to another in-home ViP 722 for viewing?

    ViP and Digital OTA

    Ok. If I subscribe to the locals for my assigned DMA and get the programming info, etc. for them, will any other OTA digital channels from another DMA be as you have said (i.e. will have to be programmed manually)? I know that sometimes one network affiliate wil pre-empt network programming...

    ViP and Digital OTA

    I am about to upgrade to the VIP 622. If I attach an OTA antenna to it and do not subscribe to any local channels through Dish, will the OTA digital channels show up in the program guide at all (even in the high 8000 numbers)? If so, can I use the DVR to program a recording of these OTA...

    XM Sirius Announces "Best Of" Packages to be available 10/6

    Any idea if XM subscribers with Best of Sirius will ever get both the home and away broadcasts of the NFL, which Sirius subscribers now have? Don't get me wrong, I love being able to now get the NFL games on XM; I'd just love it even more to get both home/away broadcasts. Also, I hope that XM...

    New Eastern Arc Markets & HD Locals Coming October 22nd

    I guess I was editing as you were posting a reply. I assume the same would be true with the 522 (edited post) as with the 625 (erroneous original post).
