    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just did an online chat and ended up with free Roku. I am on the Welcome Package, so I really didn't expect to get a credit. I had to transfer to an account specialist. 1st person claimed I didn't have AMC in my package. Said it would arrive in 3-5 days.

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    There is no set time for the uplink! It is the same crap every week. "Where is the uplink?" It happens at different times,as somebody with over 2,000 posts you should know that.

    It was on a free preview. They offer different channels every month or so from the higher packages to entice you to upgrade.

    When will the 922 be out & will I be able to watch HD on more than 1 TV?

    Most people aren't going to want to run HDMI cables through the house. I don't think that is practical. At least the current system uses existing wiring for most people. If I upgrade to the 922, I will probably try the Sling Catcher route. Once more details come out, I may change my mind.

    DISH HD absolute programming lacks RSN

    You have to switch to one of the Turbo Packages, Absolute never had the RSNs available. Can't add the Sports Pack to it either.

    What happens to DishHD Absolute after Feburuary 1st?

    You might not have been told it, but the info has been out there that the Absolute package would not get new channels after a certain point. I am pretty sure it came out of a Charlie Chat. I am pretty sure the old HD packages were grandfathered in until their equipment would no longer...

    2nd remote does not work when primary tv is on

    I had the same problem with my 622. I had to change the channel that the remote was on. Do a search and you will find the procedure on here. There is a switch under the battery cover that you can change, but you have to do something with the reciever also.

    ViP211® and ViP211k® DVR Conversion Feature Now Available to Customers

    Here come all of the "Why don't I have the update yet?" and "I called customer service and they don't know anything about it" Posts. Looks like mine hasn't been updated yet. No worries, I don't have a hard drive to use yet anyway.

    Dishcomm, ethernet, and the dual tuner $5 fee

    That is the setup that I have, but so far it hasn't been working for me. When I test the DishComm everything is set up, but I am still getting nailed with the $5.00 charge. The only thing I can think of is that the single tuner doesn't need to connect back to dish, so by default it doesn't...

    Using a VIP211 as a DVR?

    How many DVR's do they actually sell though? Most customers are leasing equipment, and with the price to buy them I don't think they are selling many. So I don't think that is an issue. It is just not a priority project.

    Any word on turning a vip211 into a DVR?

    I can stomach the one time fee, but I wonder if they will add a monthly DVR fee?

    Versus and Golf HD get their own channel, and E! HD on the way

    I do miss "The Soup" since switching to HD Only. Always good for laughs.

    Tech Chat Monday 5-12-08

    Monthly DVR Fee Too? I just ordered a 211 for my seconday HD TV, I also have a 622. I can live with the one time fee to add DVR functionality at some point. I would like to be able to use a hard drive to move shows to the other TV to watch, don't really plan on recording from the 211. Any...

    Future Receivers

    Sling Catcher Though not exactly what you are looking for, it may help in the short term. Using Slingbox you are supposed to be able to stream media over the internet to the Sling Catcher. Not sure if it will be HD or not, it is due to be released soon, I think. I am thinking of taking this...
