So this only applies to HD movies? That sucks since I don't watch PPV. 1080P ALL the time on ALL HD would be something to get excited about.

Incorporate wireless tech into this idea and it becomes a secure copy-free way to send HD video to the entire house. No more service calls to move receivers, no more rescheduled installs because of custom wiring, no customers complaining about more wires being run, technicians can install more...

SPike F/X Speed Military Channel Columbus, OH locals

While anything is possible, I wouldn't hold my breath. This is another one of those FOX owned channels that is up in the air becuase of the spygate lawsuit between them and DISH. However, DISH has uplinked all those "TEMP" channels in HD. It would be interesting to know what those are. Spike...

If I remember right, didn't Charlie say at Team Summit that in the future DISH planned for customers to be able to take DISH Network with them wherever they went. Kind of like video on your cell phone. But not PocketDish? This would be a good way to do it. I dunno about the bandwidth...

Columbus, OH locals in HD are provided by D*, but not E*. Once E* gets them, I'm gonna "move".

The lease agreement you signed "clearly" states in the fine print that programming is provided at the sole discretion of DISH Network and is subject to change without notice. Unfortunately, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on in court. I wish that there were something we could do in situations...

Advertising and marketing have a lot to do with it. D* does a MUCH better job with this than E*. DISH's commercials STINK! They seem like they only want to reach a niche' market. And if they keep things up, that's exactly what they'll get. Don't get me wrong, I love DISH. The main thing I...

Everyone has their own opinion about VOOM. Me personally, I couldnt' care less about it. I would trade VOOM for SPEED HD and Spike HD in a heartbeat. They do offer unique content not found on any other channels though. It's a toss up. You're either for them going away or against. Like...

Speed first and foremost, Scifi, Travel channel, and my Columbus, OH locals. That's what I want most in HD right now.

That certainly could figure into it too. The ATT and Dish buyout thing has neither been confirmed nor denied by any sources. Plus, since there were several ATT managers at the last regional DISH manager's meeting in Columbus, it wouldn't suprise me at all.

Here's an off-the-wall idea that I've been saying for years: You setup a dish outside to receive the DBS signals from the sats. Built in to the LNB is a wireless transmitter set to be able to broadcast in the 700MHz range. It could even be external, maybe like a switch. The installer will...

And consequently, protect you less also.

Hang on a sec here fellas! Jeez guys! You took me WAY too literally. You must have missed the first part of that post where I said "In my own personal experiences..." And that's exactly the case. In my lifetime I've worked side by side with 2 engineers, and they both worked at the same...

In my personal experiences, most engineers are idiots. Yes, they have a lot of knowledge and are typically experts in their fields, but most have lost the ability to see shades of gray. Everything is black and white. They have no common sense. That's why I never went to college for...

I understand both sides of the argument. As a technician myself, I take great pride in my work, and complete every job as if it were in my own home. I'm well aware that there are MANY folks who do installations (notice I didn't say technicians...there's a difference between an installer and a...

If you feel like being a geuinea pig, turn both your 622 tuners to channel 101, then turn off TV2 and then TV1. If you receiver is eligible for the update, it will start to take it within a couple minutes. If it hasn't started within 5 minutes, then your box isn't slated to get it yet.

It's jack asses like this that make things rough for the honest guys out there.

This notates the current aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) that your program is being viewed in. "Normal" as you noticed, means that the program is being viewed in it's normal aspect ratio, being 4:3 for SD, or 16:9 for HD. On the bottom of your dish remote you will see a button on the left that says...

OMG! I thought this thread died months ago. Let's keep beating a dead horse to death some more.

D11 is up next. The ink is dry on the deal. After that it's Echo 11. Borat will be thrown in there somewhere. Dish needs these next three rockets to go up to plug the hole that's leaking customers.

Thanks for the info guys! That answers my question completely.

I have a 622 and a 722 receiver and I want to connect both of them to my broadband connection using the homeplug setup. I'm fairly familiar with this technology, but the only thing I don't know is this: Do I need a send AND receive homeplug unit for EACH receiver, or can I use a send unit for...

According to what Charlie said the other day at CES, they will be adding 60 LiL HD markets this year. I would surely like to believe that Columbus would be one of them. I know D* has HD locals from Columbus, so they're out there. It's just a matter of E* having the capacity to carry them...

Wow. This is the first correct explanation of DP+ I've heard in a long time. Congrats Vegas for knowing your stuff. :up DP34 switches require a dedicated sat feed to each available tuner to work properly. Seperators are NOT compatible.
