Yes, how about some status report on this issue? Sad that I can find out more about the dispute in my local paper than I can at Satelliteguys.

Well of the "Solutions" posted by Dish to compensate for the dispute with Fox, only HDNet Movies has become available to me at my location. Discovery HD Theater remains blocked and the 9 alternative sports channels aren't even listed on my all channels list. Not much of a Solution. I emailed...

Government intervention to require a la carte as an option and prohibit "all or nothing packages" from the content providers would allow a la carte as a viable, low cost option to the consumer. However, revenue and profits for the content and service providers would drop substantially so their...

Who cares! When will we get stable subscriber rates?

The bottom line is that my monthly bill will apparently increase by about 5%, which makes all the old jokes about cable's big annual rate increases passé. Time for me to figure out what to cut out of my service package. I can't believe Dish thinks it is a big deal to change to one DVR fee per...

The only problem with that solution is that the Netflix streaming movies ARE NOT HD PQ, more like average DVDs. So, unless you really work the mail quickly, you essentially get to see one Netflix HD movie per week when the BD arrives. In addition, many users of Netflix streaming video complain...

I have a Dish ViP211 and a ViP722 with the Silver package. Based on what's been posted in this thread, my bill will increase somewhere between $4/month and $11/month. Even at the minimum $4/month, that is more than any annual programming price increases I've incurred since 1999. I'm already...

The wife and I noted an improvement in Dish HD PQ last Saturday, particularly on the Fox News Channel. Sadly, that additional PQ sharpness and detail seem to have gone away during the week. We are watching a 52" Sony Z5100 and the sharpness observations were made at about 6 feet from the...

Do not use Pam. I tried it years back on a Dish 500 and it did little to reduce snow accumulation. However, come summer, it fries to the dish and turns it yellow, very unpleasant looking. I'm still looking for something else to put on the dish, might try the Rain-X idea as dry silicone just...

Compared to your monthly Dish bill, they are cheap, so why not just get the insurance and switch out all the barrel connectors in your system (remember, that includes every wall plate and grounding connector) for 3 GHz tested models? My upgrade installer last year was adamant about changing out...

We have Silver w/ HD plus Stars and Cinemax. We like movies (wife loves movies) and enjoy catching the ones we don't chose to see at the theater in HD on Dish. Neither of us has any interest in the drama series that the premium channels have been producing (takes enough effort to keep up with...

This issue does seem to be limited to the Western Arc.

I'm pretty sure that is what the "K" users are seeing. I have a 722 HDMI'd to a brand new 52" Sony K5100 and the Dish HD locals are almost indistinguishable from the OTA locals via the Sony's, latest generation, on-board tuner. SW and wishful thinking I think.

I have to be ready for mind numbing agony before I phone for Dish technical support (I'm a 10 year subscriber and I have several stories of their phone support supidity). I did email Dish technical support, but haven't received an answer yet. In their defense, I emailed them Saturday and I'm...

I posted this in the Technical forum also, but hardly anyone reads that forum so I'm posting here to see who else has seen the same problem. Starting around last Friday, I see it every time we tune in the Encore HD channel, Channel #9595 or 340. Signal strength is 60 to 65 (about as good as...

Are you seeing it now on Encore HD, I am.

Wife says she has seen this over the past few days, but I just picked up on it Friday night. Now I see it every time we tune in the Encore HD channel, Channel #9595 or 340. Viewing off of a Dish ViP 722 (less than 2 months old, but a refurb of course) on a Dish 1000.2 system. Signal strength...

25 to 27 will be pretty reliable in good weather, with an occasional dropout, and become less reliable as the weather deteriorates. While the goal is almost always to get as high a reading as possible, if you get in the 40s you shouldn't have any problems. Of course, a massive snow or hail...

The 722k OTA tuners are likely of a newer generation (at the additional cost) than what is in the 722, which would be an advantage if you are in a "still" OTA DTV challenged area (i.e., now that the transition has occurred and most stations are now at full power and using their planned end use...

Good catch, I missed that, glad I went with the 722 last August as I run an S-Video connection to a DVD Recorder.

Me to!

Well I had clicked on the cloudy image before and still missed the little pop-up.

Thank you very much. I must have been on that page a hundred times, but never saw the little pop-up for downloading the product brochure.

Anyone know the link to find the full color cut sheets on the various Dish receivers? I used to be able to find it on Dish's site, but no more, no matter how I search. In particular I'm looking for the cut sheet (2 page color brochure) on the Dish ViP722 (not the "k") DVR. Any help would be...

And Dish replaces the unit for free or do you have to be enrolled in the monthly paid warranty program?
