    Shows are being cut off a minute before the end of the show. Why?

    When recording shows on TNT, TBS and USA, no matter how I set the timers, I am getting the last and most important minute of the show cut off? This happens when I'm recording back to back shows on the same channel. Why is this happening? Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Heres his problem: He records a lot of shows and is finding that not all of the show is recording...the last minute is not there. He's changed the timer defaults start on...

    722 with a 40 inch Sony LCD

    I have a customer who was just installed. They are having all kinds of issues with their number 1 IR remote. It seems to have problems with communicating with the receiver even when they are close to the receiver. Is there another fix other than upgrading remote to RF? Or will that even take...

I have Dish and was over at a friends house who has Directv and wow...what a noticeably better...

    HD-Lite?

    I was at a guys house about 3 months ago and he had both D* and E* setup in his garage and had the exact same TV playing on each service for a NFL party. Both TV's were Vizio 47 inch lcd's I believe. There was noticeable difference in the quality between the 2 providers while viewing the same...

    Sling Adaptor Field Reviews

    Will a sling link and adaptor work on an internet service through Verizon that is a "mifi hotzone", ie air card set up? The modem/router is picking up signal from a cell tower and not through a cable or phone line. Speed is about 1.22 mbps down. Would like to view over Droid phone. Thanks in...

    WGVU PBS Grand Rapids MI HD

    Not trying to hijack the thread but I live in SW Michigan and really would like an answer as to when the local ABC affiliate, WBND, out of South Bend will be offered in HD from E*. Directv has all the networks in HD including CW. E* is missing the boat here as lots of football fans are moving to...

    hd for life question on dish website

    I believe you have the option of paying $99 and not being tied to a 2 yr contract or agreeing to a 2 yr contract and not paying the $99 if you qualify first...good credit and having a valid credit or debit card. In either case, the Platinum Pak is $10/month. The rest of the HD programming would...

    222 installation question

    A friend had an eastern arc 222 installed at their home 2 daqys ago. The tech installed both TV1 and TV2. Everything worked fine when he left. Next day my friend could turn on and off TV2 with the Dsih remote but could not change channels or turn off tuner with the remote. Again, it worked fine...

    Settings on a MPEG4 box...

    ...when powering a standard definition 4x3 TV. What should you set the format to to to get the best picture. Under the HD settings you can obviously set it to 4x3 option 1 and 2 and 16x9. I realize 16x9 is not the correct setting here but what is the difference between the 2 options under 4x3...

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    So far I really like the RZC. Good coverages and switching to key situations in a game came off really well. It's not ST but a poor man's version that I felt hit a home run. Nice job NFL Network!!

    Today is a First for Me

    I really think that the RZ will be under the microscope by a lot of folks to see just how the show is produced. If they hit a home run in week 1, i think you could see a lot of D* Ticket folks move to E* due to lower priced packages let alone the equipment bennies. Should be an interesting...

    Today is a First for Me

    I live in SW Michigan and the local Fox affiliate is not showing the Lions game...can't be any worse than last year...but is showing the Vikes/Browns game. They usually show the Lions game if Chicago is on at a different time but chose not to show the game for I'm sure compelling reasons so I am...

    Clarification on 211 DVR capabilities

    My understanding is that after activating the $39.99 DVR service on this receiver, that you will be able to record programming similar to the 722/622/612 mpeg 4 receivers do but with only 1 tuner. My question lies in the pause/rewind/fast forward features. Will these be available when viewing...
