    Dish Network ViP222 HD Dual-Tuner Receiver: A SatelliteGuys.US Review

    Welcome to SatelliteGuys.US, IrishBrewer. :) Locals that are provided via the satellite (so, not via antenna) can be watched from TV1 and TV2. That poorly worded line in their help screen is only referring to local channels received through an antenna.

    Thank You, Scott, Satellite Guys & Dish Network! (NEW PHOTOS ADDED)

    It's the Slingbox Solo. I'm going to put it on my FTA receiver. I've always wanted one so I can catch noteworthy feeds while I'm at work or elsewhere. And it will greatly simplify the dish fine-tuning process. :) I'm also thinking about putting a manual A/V switcher in front of the Slingbox...

    Thank You, Scott, Satellite Guys & Dish Network! (NEW PHOTOS ADDED)

    Quite an unforgettable experience! Ok, so my post above was completely and utterly fictitious, forgive me. :D In truth, I did have a great time there. I know everyone in attentance really appreciates the time Charlie, Eric, Leslie, and the others gave us. We were all especially impressed...

    Thank You, Scott, Satellite Guys & Dish Network! (NEW PHOTOS ADDED)

    The meet & greet was a good time. Charlie took us on a tour of his private jet, pretty cool inside: While we were in the jet, he suggested a quick little safari in Africa. No one objected. This rhino came right up to us: Then we flew to the uplink center in Cheyenne. It was a...

    Public Interest channels now in HD-only package

    Same with me. I had all of them (well, the ones on 110 & 119) when I had AT200 and later AT100, but after switching to dishHD I only had NASA.

    Public Interest channels now in HD-only package

    I have the HD-only package, which up until tonight has not included the P.I. channels (9400-9417), at least on my receivers. Now those channels are available to me. The guide information is almost entirely missing, which is always the case with new additions (and I did see the two threads...

    SatelliteGuys - Retailer Chat Recap: April 22nd 2008

    :confused: What are they thinking with a name like that? I can just see it now... "but no, I need the DTV NTSC." (and note, "DTV ATSC" would be somewhat redundant)

    what receiver offers best PROGRAM GUIDE

    With the Dish Network guide, you can jump forward and backward any amount. Just type a number followed by the right arrow or left arrow, and you'll move forward or backward that many hours. To move 24 hours forward or backward, press the DVR "skip" buttons (the 30 seconds forward and 10...

    what receiver offers best PROGRAM GUIDE

    I am clearly in the majority in the above poll. ;) Welcome to SatelliteGuys.US, clownred. :) I believe all of Dish Network's modern receivers have the same program guide user interface. As best as I can recall the guide configuration options are as follows (I'm not home to verify). You can...

    Ouch, D's new Advertising Graphic

    The problem is, that involves an apostrophe ('). Today everyone is terrified of the apostrophe for some reason.

    PROGRAMMING UPDATE: Additional Adult Showcase Launch

    I saw a billboard last summer for a porn shop, with the slogan "...it's cheaper than dating!" The best part is, this billboard was in Englewood, CO (near the Dish Network headquarters). :)

    PROGRAMMING UPDATE: Additional Adult Showcase Launch

    Don't worry, they're working hardon it. It will come when it is ready. Among those other channels, this one will pull out on top. ;)

    Charlie Chat Recap -- March 10th

    Your receiver saw the words "DVR" and "Freeze" on the same screen, so it was just doing what it was told. This is known as the DVR Dis-Advantage package... time for you to upgrade! :D

    DISH Free Previews

    I agree, it was more irritating having to flip to the real channel number in the guide (which involved switching to the "All Channels" guide since... well, you know...) just to see the program information. Additionally, my DVR'd events from those channels don't contain any useful program...

    Are there more HD channels on the way?

    The name-calling is really unnecessary. Part of the problem with these threads is they all look like attempts to start a thread that explodes into 9000 replies and 1280000 views, since that is what would happen if new channels are added shortly after the thread is created. People seem to want...

    Will there be any channel showing the "yule log" loop on E*?

    I agree with jacmyoung... just assume nothing will happen and if anything is to happen it would be a pleasant surprise. I also agree entirely with the comment that nothing on TV these days is worth anything. My 50" HDTV is primarily used for watching movies... DVDs (SD, but widescreen only) or...

    That was the plan when the SuperDish first came out. But that plan didn't last long at all.

    News Flash- A Christmas Story on TNT in HD

    Office Space was the same way. Nobody else wanted to go see it when it was in the theaters but I was finally able to convince a friend to go see it with me. The theater was pretty empty, and we both loved the movie. It didn't do well in the box office. But these days its popularity is a...
