    Audio drop outs

    And here I thought it was just my set up. I have audio drop outs on my 622, but not the 211, both are pointed at the WA. I experience the most drops on Showtime and Stars, probably because they are most watched.

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    I have noticed this issue on my 622. The first time it happened I thought the dog caused it--jumped up on the couch at about the same time as the PPV screen appeared--, but has happened a couple of times since then with no one messing with the remote. I know the neighbors are not the cause of...

    OFFICAL: I am STAYING with DISH Network thread

    Count me as one of the sheep. I've been with Dish for about 10 years, have owned/leased several different receivers and DVRs, changed programming numerous times, moved (physically moved) several times and other than having difficulty with “Bob’s” thick accent a few times I have not experienced...

    sat launch dates

    All of the launch dates for SeaLaunch (Zenit3) are guesses as they haven't completed their 'return to operations' demonstartion launch yet. The SeaLaunch platform is currently on its way and the command ship will follow shortly. So I would say that things are set in Jell-o at best.

    10, 9, 8, 7, . . . Liftoff?

    SeaLaunch's "return to flight" launch was scrubbed due to unusually high sea currents (nearly double the norm) and upper level winds. The launch platform and support ship returned to home port. As of a couple of days ago, they have not announced what affects (delays) this will cause to their...

    Anyones EPG screwed up? local mapping

    Interesting. I recently have been having a similar problem with my 522. I loose my locals and some of the higher channels in my EPG. I even loose them while I am watching them and sometimes I won't loose them for a few days. I have to accomplish a front panel reset to get them back.

    I have the 411 and only had problem I have (or had) with the "blackscreen with banner" syndrome. However, I have not had an occurance in awhile.

    Locals Marquette Mi

    Call me a freak, but I lived in Marquette and Gwen (suburb of Marquette ;) ) for just over five years and loved it. I really miss the seven months of snowmobiling.

    wondering why

    I would say that the NFL Sunday Ticket is the biggest draw to Direct over Dish.

    Dish Horror stories. I can't take much more!!

    Currently, there is no way Dish will stop mirroring their HD content on 61.5...the 129 bird does not provide enough east coast coverage. Now if Echo 10 launches and opens up enough bandwidth on the main satellites (110 and 119). Who knows, then it might be possible to shift the HD content.

    Joint Dish / DirecTV Broadband Venture?

    Rupert and Charlie holding hands and singing around the broadband campfire! Won't this tear a hole in the time-space continuum?

    EchoStar Communications selects Cyberworks Visesh LLC as first BPO

    I am kind of slow when it comes to business speak...so what does "Knowledge Process Outsourcing & BPO Services" mean?

    Echostar X NOW IN ORBIT! AND AQUIRED!

    Depending on the length of the delay, they will defuel the launch vehicle and place it back in the environmentally controller hanger onboard the launch platform. Plus something that big is more stable laying horizional than it is standing vertically.

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    Called Friday (2/03) about 2:00 p.m. and got a CSR straight away. She was polite, but confused about upgrading my 811 for the ViP211. Seemed her screen did not contain the model information of the single tuner HD reciever nor did the product details say if it was MPEG-4 compliant. So she...

    Glittery Video Using 811 DVI Output

    I ordered the cable (Item # DVIDL-3) on-line from Pacific Custom Cable Inc. The price was $24.00 + shipping. I called them this morning and talked to their tech rep (David) about my situation and troubleshooting findings. David said it is vary rare that a bad cable gets shipped, due to...

    Glittery Video Using 811 DVI Output

    I narrowed the culprit down to the DVI cable. Had to barrow one off my brother-in-laws set to make the comparison. Thanks for all the suggestions/help.

    Glittery Video Using 811 DVI Output

    Just got my 811 hooked up this morning and already have a problem. I get white speckles, not quite digitizing more like an old fashion analog snow storm, when using the DVI output. It really appears bad against a static background (i.e. blue background of the setup menu pages) and the effect...

    New Dish'n it up promo

    I do not know what legal binding status a standard business practice holds. However, it should affect only the companies that choose to apply that practice? Right? What I am saying is that I entered into the "Dish'n It Up" program with the knowledge that Echostar would be suppling a 90...

    New Dish'n it up promo

    Pardon my ignorance, but I am not catching on to your concern. Please let me try to clarify my point. If you get something that has a specific duration (30 day, 90 day or 1 year) warranty, say a satellite radio receiver. How, after the expiration of the warranty period, can the...
