    Being There (TY Dish!)

    Dish has been flipping the switch for RSN HD to include pre- and post-game coverage of baseball. It's not full-time RSN, but a huge improvement and I am stoked to be able to watch all the coverage of the Giants home opener in HD.:):):)

    No MLB games on 4/5 in HD yet

    Full time would be nice so I don't have to keep track of which channel number to tune to. Right now I use the 3 digit for SD and the 4 digit for HD. Furthermore, in order to catch the pre and post chatter, I set the 2nd tuner on SD, if I remember! Then I have to check to see what is coming in...

    MLB Network campaign against DishNet

    I believe the exact opposite. If more providers would not cave in to professional sports attempts to monopolize TV delivery of games, the better it would be for everyone.

    The protection plan covers owned equipment just the same as leased.

    no more freebies for me

    :up:up:up I've never had any problem. If you check your current amount due every day, you are going to discover periods when some but not all charges/credits have been applied. If you look for a problem you're gonna find it, real or perceived.

    Pro Plus Twin to QUad

    If you removed the separator and ran two cables using ports 1&2 or 3&4 to any dual-tuner boxes, then yes.

    722k Update

    Note: The receiver may need to be left in Standby (plugged in with satellite feed and turned off) for a minimum of 20 minutes to further recover the download if interrupted at critical times. This "boot recovery" is a MINIMUM of 20 minutes, and could last 1 hour or more for some models. If a 721...

    Directv goes after HD RSN's

    Part-time and JIP coverage of RSN games in HD with Dish Network is Bullsh!t! I honestly would leave Dish over this one issue if I had LOS for DirecTV.

    722k Update

    I did research on this once and remember seeing that there also needs to be a period of inactivity on the VIP models. Don't remember how long, but I would give it a good hour, not 90 seconds.

    question about on-demand movies

    Gamer is on a PPV channel 525 right now. VOD is only channel 501. I currently have 16 channel 501 movies and don't see Gamer currently being offered as VOD. Yes, w/ PPV you have to schedule a recording. The good news is that the 24 hour view window doesn't start until you first watch the...

    What is the difference?

    The high number is the actual channel. The low number is mapped down from the high number so it matches the number of its SD counterpart, if any. It can't be the same as the already-used number for SD, thus the mapdown. This makes it possible for ESPN SD and ESPN HD to both use channel 140 or...

    You mean twin lnb. ;) Sorry you didn't take my advice. you'll have better luck adding receivers one at a time and doing numerous switch checks. That is because you have two switches in the system and it may take a few times to get all the registers updated. When you use brand new lnbs and...

    Keep the quad. Connect ports 1 & 2 to the DP34. Use two feeds from DP34 to connect 322. Do a switch test. Do it again. All should be well. If not, do another switch test. All should be well. Next, connect the 510. Use either port 3 on the quad or use a feed from DP34, your choice. Do a switch...

    Right, it doesn't have single mode, my bad again but I got rid of mine the moment I heard of the fee increase! No, it cannot be set to use only one tuner.

    Need help tech info

    Well, yes, but it would be unhappy with only one sat. input connected. Like I said above you are golden with the quad and DP34, just do not use any DPP separator, but rather two feeds from quad lnb or DP34 switch to the dual-tuner boxes. I was gonna do this setup once upon a time when I thought...

    Ah, remembered what you can do. Since you have the quad, I beleive you could use ports 1 and 2 to feed the DP34, and ports 3 and 4 right off the LNB, giving you 6 DP feeds. So, disregard much of my previous post.;) I'll leave it up tho for those like me who tend to think in terms of HD.:)

    Do some research on DishProPlus. The DP34 switch ain't gonna cut it for ya, sry. Neither is the quad lnb. Using DishPro only, you would need 5 feeds to receivers. The 625 and 322 use DPP technology which allows one cable to feed both sat. inputs in conjunction with a DPP separator and either...

    Dish is still the best value for me

    You could add a 211 and still be $0.99 less than DirecTV.:D

    Just received my new bill

    That's unfair! Just because you came to this forum, you know about it. ;) The vast majority do not know. That is just wrong for Dish to charge more simply because someone is too stupid to know. :rolleyes:

    Just received my new bill

    Hd Platinum does exist and is not part of the HD package. It is an additional $10. Dish has a promotion where HD Platinum is included free with the HD add-on. Some people like me get billed "HD and Platinum" @ $10. Others are being billed $10 for HD and an additional $10 for Platinum. Hardly...

    612 or 211 with EHD?

    IDK why 612 does not have pip, but I don't think that is the reason. It does have 2 sat. tuners. Seems to me like it should!

    Installing DPP Dual Tuner using DP Technology

    Probably easiest to change the lnb to DPP. How many and what receivers? What Dish currently? Built-in switches are better, IMO.
