Where's the Charlie Chat recap?

woo hoo... free big sweaty hat concerts... yawn...

wow now that is a MAJOR FAIL! 480 x 480 @ 4034 KB/s... which includes the MPEG Audio stream, that is POOP. No wonder most of the SD channels look terrible, soft/murky and blocky. How can they even begin to think what they are broadcasting is acceptable. I wish FiOS had a better DVR I'd jump...

How about.... Dish Interactive Receivers with the ability to REMOTE SCHEDULE? I remember testing it MOONS ago for them, the website when up (too early) and then shut down the registration part and still has that fantastic "coming soon" banner for the remote scheduling... better wake up and...

Did you read my reply above? You are VERY INCORRECT. I've verified it WILL pass multichannel over HDMI and out to optical. My reciever displays what the incoming codec is, Dolby Digital, WMA 9 PRO, DTS OR if it's 2 channel it will display Stereo, Pro Logic or NEO. I've used Home Theater...

I have a Z series and I agree See my reply (a few posts above) to his comment for further details on formats I've test.

ORLY? You're POSITIVE about that? What if I tell you I have a Sony TV which does? I have all my components (722, PS3 & Popcorn Hour) hooked up via HDMI to the TV then I have optical audio out from the TV to the Receiver and it not only passes AC3 (Dolby Digital) / Linear PCM but it ALSO...

No your post didn't go over my head... regardless of how good a TV's scaler is and other excuses being offered, there still remains the problem of this episode of The Beast which is being offered in 1080p but not working as advertised, which is why I post my comment in the first place.

I'll continue to worry since I have proper equipment, DISH needs to test this crap before they make a big deal of it in a Press Release... I would call and talk to tech support but I know they'd be clueless and not know how to properly take / cascade a bug report. I've said this many times...

So far this has been a HUGE FAIL by Dish. I have a 722 and a Sony LCD which can playback 1080 24p no problem. I've done it with Bluray and Via the 501 PPV. When you select to download "The Beast" immediately you get a dialogue box stating that your TV may not be compatible so it asks to rent...

That's a bummer, but I hope they do sell their library of unique stuff to other networks or push as much into their Non Voom channels as possible. RAVE was a great channel, MHD has a lot to learn / pick up to match them. RE: Jumping to FiOS... it's an AMAZING service for Internet and the PQ on...

Summary of the "Chat Room" Scott saying hey we're going to give away X Then a Bunch of people still typing, and then 143 SHHH messages Winner announced, winner claims prize while those SHHH messages continue to stream in. 175 "congrats" messages Then a bunch of sucking up: "I love SatGuys...

I understand and can live with this, I'd rather the USB / External drive to be as smooth/solid as possible. Now if they were smart and had put an eSATA port we wouldn't have this discussion. Adding the ability to record a program to the internal drive then place it into an AUTO-QUEUE to...

Did I read that correctly? We get folder / some kind of organization for the external HDD? About time, when you toss on a BIG drive and you fill it up with programs (which you can because Dish's MPEG4 SQUEEZES PQ/File Size quite a bit) and it's hard know what you have because of the lack of...

The HD was decent looking, but the download speeds suck even for SD stuff. They have a ton of Pron I can't imagine someone paying 11.99 and then being excited to wait an hour plus due to the SLOW download speeds to watch it... they'd better speed up their network or no one will use it.

I'm getting (sometimes) 3 - 4 mbps... it claims to be ready to view in 2+ hours... that's not great, Dish better get some more servers running or this is going to be a HUGE flop! That's not On Demand at all!

Thanks, I would've never known there was free stuff, trying it out now, I have FIOS so we'll see how long it takes to pull an HD episode.

I just don't get West coast feeds... I live on the west coast, and have been used to watching east coast feeds and ONCE i got a DVR there were NO more issues missing stuff... West coast feeds ARE a waste of space! I know that's a common statement but I can't say it enough!

I've noticed the blackouts also

The video quality, or lack there of is what disappointed me the most. OTA or Sat didn't seem to matter it was a fuzzy / pixelated mess.

I guess I missed this? Had I never read this release I'd have never known about the Olympics and all the interactivity on Dish... maybe because their implementation of iTV is LAME and SLOW!

The 722 is sitting on a laptop cooler and averages at 122 for temp.

My 722 has been video stuttering on and off a lot in the last month, I hope they are working on the fix for that, any info Scott?

I know eventually this will be not relevant as they are mapping down. But I enjoy only browsing the 9000's to see HD (and not using the HD only because i don't care about NBA, NFL and PPV channels and alts...) Is there ANY chance they will reorganize the 9000s so they make some kind of...

I'm glad they uplinked it this morning! Regardless of your party this is cool to watch. In HD! The DNC feed was cleaner than all the major networks coverage, OTA or satellite, I did a PIP comparison and swapped, it's interesting to see the variation in rebroadcast quality.
