It's back to normal on Sunday morning.

I noticed that my guide shows the same programming on sho-e (318) and sho-w (319). It's been that way for several days now. Anyone know what's up?

Mostly I use 15X.

I'm unusual I guess -- I've always liked Fast Forward better. I'm too lazy to push the button 5 or 6 times. :)

I may be the last person here to think of this but I've found it so useful that I have to post it. I've just come back to Dish after a two year stint with Directv (and a 2 month stint with Uverse). During that time I got use to the DVR automatically jumping back a bit after I transition from...

Just back After a "brief" two year visit to Directv, I'm back with Dish. I had Dish for 10 years prior and I'm happy to be back. We have a Fox owned station in Houston so I could loose that for a while, I suppose. Happily, I'll have the OTA module installed in my new 722K by then.

I have U-Verse and I can record 3 HD streams (and 1 SD stream) at the same time. I only have one TV but 3/1 is the limit for the house. AT&T is rolling out the 3rd HD stream by market so it might not be in your area yet. Also, you need to be close enough to their neighborhood connection box...

I saw a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle yesterday that Dish will be at a local resturant today (Tuesday) between 11 and 2. The first two hundred to apply will get free service for one year. This includes HD and a DVR. I assume this is a marketing program being done in major cities. Who...

And what else did Charlie have to say when you talked to him?

Assuming the "experts" are correct about most people's perception of HD, if the bug indicates that the program is available in HD, then the average consumer probably thinks they are already getting the program in HD. This also assumes that people are actually watching the bug -- so much...

Whether I like it or not... Even though I didn't agree to the DVR advantage when I was on the phone, I see that it was put on my account anyway. Since I now understand what it is about (thanks SatelliteGuys forum posters), I will take my $5.98 discount per month and be happy. Between that...

I'll have to give the CSRs another call. Hopefully they won't notice that I had Cinemax less than six months ago and remove my Cinemax for a penny....

Checked the web site, I do have the Cinemax for a penny promotion on my account.

So he would save month on both the AT 200 and HBO. What is the trade-off of DVR Advantage? A CSR couldn't explain it to me in a way that I could understand. Surely they aren't giving away something for nothing.

So I tried calling a CSR and she spent most of the time telling me I need Dish DVR Advantage -- that it would reduce my bill by $5-6. There surely must be a catch and my distrust of the CSR is such that I couldn't say yes. I tried to get back to the Cinemax and she said in a snippy voice "I...

I tried via on-line chat and they consistantly checked my account, saw that I recently subcribed to Cinemax, and denied my request. Annoying.

The old days Ah, rumors of new channels, the buzz of what might be -- it makes me nostalgic for the old days at Dish. Remember when we would get a few new channels every single Charlie Chat? Hey, with all these possible new HD channels, maybe we can start having a few new channels every...

Everything I found on this forum, and the "other site," suggests that I have to pay for non-warranty leased 622 repair. Adding the service agreement only when needed is a good tip. But getting back to my original question, does anyone know what the repair cost would be without the...

As the one year warranty on my 622 ends, I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting the $5.99 service plan. What does Dish charge to replace a failed 622 that is leased but out of warranty? I've had the HD fail to spin up serveral times so I tend to think I'm going to see a failure at...

When did Dish start publishing guide data for the HD subchannels? I just noticed that I have program information for my OTA PBS HD feed plus all the secondary channels for the networks. Cool! I must have missed an annoucement somewhere along the line.

You can't watch HD with the 625. The 625 is an SD DVR. Are you asking what the HD DVR box is? That's the VIP622. Perhaps I don't understand your question.

And blow my skirt up it did. $400 spent to calibrate a $7K TV isn't worth thinking about. Enjoy your recliner and end tables.

My text was a bit misleading. The ISF Calibrator did not adjust my overscan -- it was 2% when he arrived. In any case he would not have adjusted it because of the pixel mapping issue. ISF calibration typically runs ~$400. In the case of my XBR2, it was worth the money and then some! You...

I've had several Sony HD RP sets and all have overscan to some degree. I'm told that almost all TVs have overscan by design. Sometimes (particularly for SD channels) there is information in the top/bottom of the image that you aren't meant to see. My current TV is a Sony SXRD 70". The...

Correct. But it turns out it will take one 3 digit number: 999.
