Dish really needs to update this app to support video out. The only reason I increased my bill (to top 200) was to be eligible for the "free" sling adapter and hook it up in the family wagon. The Sling Mobile app allows it but I can't get it to work with the adapter. Anyone know how to...

I talked to 3 different CSRs. First knew what I was talking about but hung up on me. Second one had no idea what I was talking about and kept telling me that I was 'lucky' because I have a 722 and could use the adapter (then hung up on me!) The last CSR told me she didn't know about it...

Cool! Thanks for the update, Scott.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd welcome an official app. The website is optimized nicely for the phone, but it is a little awkward to navigate. Plus, if they had a native app, many of the graphics wouldn't need to be downloaded and it would make the app zippier. It would be nice to swipe to...

Yes! I was in AbsoluteHD so I waited until last Sunday night to hear what people thought of it before changing packages. Man, I'm glad I did! I had a few friends and family over who are fantasy footballers like myself and it was a blast watching all the action from around the league. Plus...

I bit the bullet and dropped AbsoluteHD after one year. It was great having a $50 bill each month, but in the end, I missed having a "normal" package. The inability to add the RedZone Channel to the package was pretty much the icing on the cake. I wasn't in a contract for some years now and...

I'm gonna really miss my $40 satellite bill with locals, HD DVR and 1¢ Cinemax...

IFC HD Comedy Central HD (if/when available) BBC HD (if/when available) AMC HD FX HD Spike HD MonstersHD... errr... i guess, Chiller HD If we got 3 of these I'd be ecstatic. Prolly lucky to get one. :(

That is awful. It doesn't even look like Lenny Kravitz. :p

Sorry... I'm late to the party as well... is the HD Only package = HD Absolute?!? thanks!

IFC HD... that's it for me.

Absolutely. I do switch it for the stations that have the "anomalies". It's amazing how much you miss when not in full dot-by-dot HD size. It also gives the perfect Aspect Ratio of your source. Out of curiousity, is it only possible to get that full edge to edge (or dot-by-dot) viewing on a...

:up

I went to the online chat a few months ago on the last day of a 3 month freebie of HBO, Starz, Showtime and Cinemax. I told the CSR that I wanted to end my trial and add the Cinemax for 1¢ and he did it without question. I really think it is the luck of the draw. Not sure if you want someone...

TiVo recommends. Hands down. Thumbs up & Thumbs down programs and it builds a profile on your likes/dislikes and uses the information to automatically record things it thinks you will like. Obviously this is probably patented like Fort Knox, but I think there are ways around it to make it...

Some of my timers for the next week on 5-Star MaxHD: INSIDE MAN (5/16 6:45 PM) THANK YOU FOR SMOKING (5/17 1:55 PM) HAROLD AND MAUDE (5/18 5:30 AM) SCARFACE (5/19 12:50 AM) FLETCH (5/19 5:30 PM) THE SHINING (5/22 6:00 AM)

Good post/email. I agree 100% with you. I blame VOOM more then Dish. They need to make their channels more appealing. It's been said ad nauseam, but cutting down to 5 channels would be great. Like you said, a family channel, world/arts channel, sports channel, variety channel and a movie...

If you receive stations via OTA on your box, you can record something on the OTA in HD, something on Tuner1 in HD and something else on Tuner 2 in HD. You can then watch any recorded event on TV1 and another event on TV2. 5 things at once... Not bad from one box!

I would love to have MonstersHD back, but do online petitions do anything? I think everyone needs to move on. Charlie was gonna keep MonstersHD, but VOOM said all or nothing... so there it goes.

Thanks. I hope you are right. I don't mind using the space for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse if it were actually in HD!

I've been wondering the same thing and have yet to find an answer. I don't feel like calling and trying to explain that to the CSR either. My 3 year old has some shows she watches on Disney and would like to save on HD space by recording the SD version. I think it is a good possibility that...

Here is my take on the last couple of days. It is very unlike E* to throw channels up so quickly. It is obvious that they knew they were taking down VOOM and HAD to put something else up. I think this is part of the problem why Hallmark Channel is having issues, 5-Star Max isn't HD, Cartoon...

The irony here is that my wife will actually be excited to watch Full House again. She loves 80's sitcoms (child of the eighties) and didn't want me switching to the HD Only pack because of this. I think this addition is huge because it really has something for everyone. I'd be surprised to...

soon... Sorry, couldn't resist.
