I do not pay with or have a CC, it is a debit card and there is not a company on the planet that I trust with a blanket authorization on my checking account. Those HR20's were terrible.

OK, I must admit that with all the griping about how inferior my ViP622 is to a TiVo, it has managed to record all but one of my programs in the last 6 months. I must also admit the picture quality is better with E* than it was with D*. I called E* today to change my programming package from the...

Thanks Tony, now I am informed rather than curious. :) I had heard at one point that 129 was rogue (not positioned correctly) and that they kept thrusting it into place. Is this still the case or is this bird calm now?

Question for ya, albeit a stupid one, but I'd like to know. It appears that the satellites at 61.5 and 129 mirror each other. With the dish1000, like I have, what it the point of the 61.5 bird?

Good morning all, I recently put my 622 in the closet and have been using remote 2 to control TV1 in single mode. Now I have back-hauled the RF tuner to my cable system so that I can use TV2 in the basement or guest room. However, as you may guess I need two RF remotes now. I read somewhere...

I know, that is the problem. There are those of us that will not use that browser because of all its security problems, I am in that group. Now if it were to connect to my 622 (also a Linux box) and provide free VOD (like cable) then it may be interesting, but "as is" I think it will be lame...

I cannot compare to anything but a 211, but it is great for me. Better than DirecTV is all I know.

I checked out the DishOnline site this morning and was very disappointed that "Internet Exploder 6" or worse is required. DRM is a killer waste when I may just buy the DVD, rip it into a .vob or mpeg4 and watch it on any Divx or xvid player. Do they really see money coming in from this service?

OK, so given the information below, what is the difference between the DIGITAL HOME ADVANTAGE and the DISHDVR ADVANTAGE, which I appear not to have. Account Charges DIGITAL HOME ADVANTAGE -AMERICA'S EVERYTHING PAK WITH 94.99 DISH HOME PROTECTION PLAN...

mods please remove

Looks like I am hit for about 6.00 and I don't get it, still no credits for 20.00 for being new, just 10.00 and I never authorized a "home protection plan ....... WTF is that? New Monthly Charge(s) 02/26 to 03/25...

DirecTV has offered to "share" with the other children .................

That would be nice, especially since I already know what channel 140 is, I have no idea of the HD number is, I just USE the "all hd" filter because I have no desire to learn a 4-digit channel. I find it funny that DirecTV offers more channels (over all) and they left the stupid numbers for...

Here is a series of statements I agree with. I had both until I canceled my D* and the PQ with E* is better (on the same TV) even with a weaker signal. I officially have no provider loyalty anymore as they all have pitfalls. My next couple years will be spent chasing the HD leaders, whoever has...

I only read the title, not your post and all I can say is "duh." Everyone knows that DirecTV has the best customer service and Dish is not sure what customers are ........ I am with Dish for now, I am waiting for a good HD DVR (not from a satellite provider) and then I'll be back with DirecTV in...

It was formatted as FAT32, but now tha I think about it, you may be on to something too, while the DVR should "mkfsxxx" with a blank drive. I wonder what the DVR will do if I plug a drive formatted ext2, ext3 or reiserfs?! probably nothing lol, I know the 622 is a linux box, but apparently...

Yup, that was it. I attached and removed the drive several times and while it always came up with the USB Storage screen, looking at the DVR screen, the recording space never increased or decreased.

We all know that is the truth, I get around it knowing I paid for the item :).Is what cracks me up the the jackalopes that get caught up in the process of an auction and pay more than they would have retail. Either way, I think I need to go find a new 211 for like 50.00.

I am actually in the process of moving all this stuff into a closet, when I finish up later today I'll post photos of the "pop" up and I did see capacity listed at the main DVR screen right before I shut down. I'll let ya all know as soon as I can, Based upon what jmel said, I am thinking it is...

Help me out with some keystrokes if you would like a specific screen. All I know is that when I plugged it in, it popped up a screen, indexed the drive and went. Perhaps I am full of $#*!, but not knowingly.

Here it is Sorry, but a phone was the best I could do right now.

I was watching city confidential like 6 months ago on directv and saw it was 16x9 on the SD channel, I was watching on a PC. I watched CC today at 7:00 and it was nice and clean. Not HD end-to-end like HDnet, but even the CC intro was sharp and clean. I say 3 stars for average, but better than...

Mine is already rolling, I can post a pic if you like. I have an additional 250GB.

I know the old lady would be pissed if she missed Rome, I however would be ecstatic as this second season is a very poor follow up to the first. I like how Echostar claims to be trying to protect me from unfair prices, they should talk to DirecTV if they to understand fair.

OK, I'll take a stab at getting it back on topic I am already seeing some advantages and disadvantages to the new encoders. I recorded several hours of Nat'l Geographic since the change. On the up-side 4 hours of programming on "cost" me 2 hours on my DVR, on the downside I have heard about 5...
