    Not having the MLB Network probably isn't hurting Dish much

    Myself, like most other baseball fans, watching live games in prime time. So this report is somewhat worthless.

    vip722, TV2 (IR control?)

    Look for Next Generation remote extender (~$35). There is no better product to accompish your goal. I use it with Harmony remote in the basement home theater to control all equipment upstairs.

    DISH NETWORK® UNVEILS BIGGEST HIGH DEFINITION UPGRADE IN TV HISTORY

    As a former Dish subscriber, I did not find this as a big news. 150 HD channels? How many of them subscriber will be able to receive? We know, that RSNs are not national channels with Dish. So there is some fuzzy math here. We are talking at most 120 channels subscriber can get. With D* all...

    Just defected to DirecTv from Dish

    I find in my case a second HDDVR (got $200 credit for HR20 I bought in Circuit City, because they shipped me HR21, and I asked for HR20) is a much better option then TV2. It gives me four HD tuners and 2 HD feeds instead of TV2 SD feed. $5/month is a very decent price for that option.

    Dish just called...

    You are lucky, got only one call. Three weeks ago they called me (I switched to D* as you did in December) 4 (!) times in one evening. Moreover second call followed almost immediatly after I hanged up with the first caller. Everybody started quick that they want me back. After I answered NO they...

    New HD

    There is an error in your math. Octal 76 = 7*8 + 6 = Decimal 62. But Dish has now something close to Decimal 42. So why idea was good, the equation was wrong. Also I doubt somebody at Dish knows anything about octal system, they can't even count correctly in decimal system:D

    Horrible TV2 PQ

    It could be also a long cable run. I had this problem when I had 622. The solution was easy: I installed a powered signal booster at the cable split location (I used it for several TVs).

    SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 12/22/2007

    Except that many people stay for a perception, a mental rationalization. The classic one is staying for a "widescreen picture", whether it is resolution (when PQ is primarily determined by how image fills the screen), or when they think (they don't know, but they thikn they know) that many...

    Agree. In my case, I decided to wait until Christmas, and here I am - a proud owner of two D* HD DVRs, HR20 & HR21. I like what I have now, HD PQ is better then I expected on new MPEG4 D* channels and much better then E* starved MPEG4 channels. I think that although 622 is slightly better in...

    TNT HD poor picture quality

    I will not participate in this campaign: switching to D* on Dec. 12. Will have much more channels in HD and will save $200 in my first year on everything pack (including charge for D* HDDVR):D

    Bad news regarding Dish and "DRM"

    At monoprice.com it will cost you about $30.00. 35' HDMI-DVI works fine for me.

    FSN North WI

    VIP622 - No "DishONLINE" option in DVR menu???

    If I could I would send you this DISHONLINE feature free of charge. I have it and will never use it if it will stay like it is. The most unnecessary item in otherwise good 622.

    Milwaukee @ Cleveland HD ALT 444

    I don't think it was an image dancing. It was the reflection of the commercials they have on the arena. So it was just wrong camera positioning, so it has nothing to do with Dish Network, just some slopy FoxSprtsHD production. They will fix it next time. Otherwise the PQ was very good, the game...

    Will DISH EVER Catch up to D* in price?

    You math is wrong. I have one 622 receiver with AEP and HD. I am paying $133/month, including taxes. So D* deal is much better.
