    A new twist to the part-time HD RSN saga

    Over the last few weeks I've noticed that virtually every NHL team is broadcasting all games in HD. This is the first year that's happened. Does anyone have any thoughts as to how Dish will handle this? Will there be a 'rotation' of non-HD games per team so that one team doesn't constantly...

    Atlanta area Eastern Arc questions

    Hi Folks, I’ve been a Dish customer for several years and have the 1000.2/Western Arc setup. I’m in the Smyrna area of Atlanta. I’m moving soon but staying in the same vicinity. I’m wondering if Dish will try to convert me to the Eastern Arc or if I can request, or even want to stay on the...

    New HD space for RSN's with the new satellite?

    Gang, It's my understanding the Dish currently alots only 8 HD feeds for RSNs. Meaning that at any one time several RSN HD feeds may not be carried for Center Ice or League Pass, etc. With the new bird going up later this month are they any plans to light up more HD feeds thus giving us...

    Dish Center Ice Question

    IslandGuy43 and Ehren, I knew that InDemand was listing the game but now DirecTV just added it. I think that's a good sign for Dish too. There must be some sort of CBC issue that they're finalizing. I also just noticed that Dish has left channel 633 open that night (during the 7pm slot)...

    Dish Center Ice Question

    Atlanta only broadcasts 3/4 of their games and the 12/12 game is one not being televised. I have indeed seen them adjust Center Ice schedules but for some reason both satellite providers NOT listing the game threw up a red flag. Plus both providers updated their schedule yesterday and...

    Dish Center Ice Question

    Does anyone know why the December 12th Montreal vs. Atlanta game is NOT being shown on Center Ice? There are two networks broadcasting that game, CBC and RDS. I checked DirecTVs schedule as well and it's not on there either. However, I looked at the cable version of Center Ice (provided by...

    Dish free PPV coupon issues

    UPDATE I just contacted a CSR and they acknowledged that the coupons were used correctly but they were late on posting the credit. They immediately credited my account for both movies. So, the coupons are good...although you might have to contact customer service though to get your credits.

    Dish free PPV coupon issues

    Hey Gang, I, like many others, received two free PPV coupons several weeks ago. I ordered movies and subsequently entered the info online to receive my PPV credit. The movie charges showed up very quickly but the movie credits have not. It's been about 5 weeks since I redeemed the first coupon...

    NHL Center Ice - auto-renewal or not?

    Crimp, it certainly IS still on auto-renew. Sounds like you might need to spin the customer service wheel one more time. :D My account was charged (one time, full fee) on 8/25. So yes, it is showing up on bills.

    NHL Center Ice - auto-renewal or not?

    I wouldn't be too concerned over the contract status. It's my understanding that Center Ice is a yearly negotiation for ALL carriers (cable, satellite, etc.). I just noticed today that all the Center Ice channels (starting on channel 625 and going through 639) are now showing up on the channel...

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    Hey Elway, It takes a good while for temps to lower to a steady holding point. They'll generally drop between 18-20 degrees from the highest average temp. Depending on the cooling power of your fan and the temperature of your house it could take a month or more for the DVR to reach its...

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    I LOVE IT. It should be named the "Haney". :) Seriously though, my 21 month old 722 died a horrific death this past week. Temps were fine (with my dual fans) but the hard drive crashed (error 311). It could've been from previously high temps or just a bad drive. Anyway, Dish was pretty...

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    Temp measurements for 722 I recently purchased a double fan unit (per Charlie Shell's recommendation) and have had it installed long enough to get some decent temperature reduction. Per several others' requests I'm going to occasionally post my latest temperature readings.

    No HD: Sharks vs. Flames

    It's on now. I wondered the same but by fist intermission it was on the HD channel. I'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.

    Bizarre Center Ice/Dish Network issue

    Hey Hockeyinsd, Thanks for replying man. I should've mentioned in the original post that the Thrashers and their broadcast partner (Sportsouth) made a very public announcement that all non-televised games would NOT be blacked out on Center Ice. I've watched all non-Thrashers broadcast games...

    Bizarre Center Ice/Dish Network issue

    This Sunday, November 2nd at 5pm the EPG shows the Thrashers vs. Panthers on channel 630. It’s Florida’s feed and it’s being shown in SD and HD. For some reason I can schedule the SD to be recorded on my 722 but the HD version says it’s not available in my area. AKA, blacked out. This situation...

    NHL preseason and Center Ice

    Eddie, feel free to post any email addresses that you've used in the past that have received response/action. I'd think most of the folks on here will join you in order to get a few extra games on Center Ice.

    NHL preseason and Center Ice

    Correct. In fact, I've never seen a pre-season game on the cable or Dish version of center ice. I'm sure the online version will offer their free preview. If you check teams' individual schedules you can see which ones actually televise pre-season games. It's not that many from what I recall...

    MUCH better signal strength on 110

    Webby, do you (or does anyone) have signal strength comparisons of both of the Eastern and Western Arcs? I'm in Atlanta (on the Western Arc) but was hoping to go the Eastern Arc to IMPROVE signal strengths from the dying 129 bird. It looks like Atlanta won't be available for the Eastern Arc...

    722 locks up when pressing 6-1-1

    Hi Folks, The subject title pretty much says it all. I tried checking signal strength on a few 129 transponders and the 722 froze. It never made it to the actual signal meter. Instead it froze on the last menu page (where the last 1 in the 6-1-1 sequence is pressed). The small tv screen in...

    wind issues with 129 and 722 freezes up

    Hi Folks, I've been reading where many people are having wind issues this weekend. It's been no different here in Atlanta with 35-40mph gusts. My HD channels on 129 are going in and out from time to time. It's very difficult for me to tell if it's due to a moving dish or if trees are being...

    Dish cuts off end of Center Ice game

    UPDATE: Dish Cuts off end of Center Ice game After a few emails to customer service they apologized and were aware of the issue. However they said, "we don't know why you are experiencing these problems". Huh? I suppose they are aware of the issue but have no idea why it happened? LOL...
