    So who's jumping ship? and a message to Charlie

    I'm jumping. I've gotten their email replies explaining why my baseball games can't be on HD when Directv is carrying them on HD. And those explanations don't fly. Can't get my locals in HD with Dish. I bounced the channels in HD that I'll lose against what I'll gain, and it's a wash for my...

    Why is dish still missing games in HD?

    Well, I semi-lied. My buddy says Direct has Rangers vs White Sox in HD tonight. But, E* has them in SD for all 3 games. So maybe somebody at E* is lazy. Or most likely, they don't want to dedicate the bandwidth to it. Stinks either way. I wonder if sending a link to this thread to...

    Why is dish still missing games in HD?

    The idea that they're too lazy to set up the HD doesn't really hold unless they show all the away games in a particular city in SD, but tonite the Rangers away game in in SD, but tomorrow's will be HD. I have a friend who has DTV, I'll call him when the game starts and see if he has it in HD...

    FSN HD coming on an hour late

    I'm in the Dallas DMA, but I guess the A's being west coast makes sense with what you were saying. Dang. But thanks.

    FSN HD coming on an hour late

    For the last two nights, FSSW has shown the Texas Rangers @ Oakland A's in HD. Last night the HD didn't start until an hour into the game. And tonight, 1/2 hour into the game it's not showing up. I've written to ceo@echostar. But ain't getting a lotta comfort from that. Is this happening with...

    FSAZ not showing D-Backs game in HD?

    I just posted on another thread about the same thing. FSSW has ALL Texas Rangers games in HD, but E* is not showing them. If DTV is, then my bu** is switching to them.

    FSN slow to update the guide?

    I'm getting a bit concerned too about FSN SW and the Texas Rangers games. According to the Rangers web site, every FSSW game this year will be in HD. But so far, on the Dish schedule only Monday's and Thursday's game this week will be. I just updated my Dish schedule and no change. One game (in...

    Recordings shutting off during playback

    I've recorded a lot of shows, mostly on CBS, though not all, and sometimes when I watch the show while the program is still recording from my timer, it will stop playback near the end. At that point, I'm only able to re-start, but even when I do, it stops in the same place, usually with 10 or...

    Programs cut off before ending

    I often record programs using the DVR (a 622) and then start watching them shortly after they start, by pulling up the recording - the tv is often on another channel. That way I can eat dinner, cut commercials, etc., and have things at my convenience. However, since last year, I've noticed that...

    VIP622 recordings halt early

    Some of my recordings have halted with 10-15 min left on the program. S/W version is L617. I've just really noticed this the past couple of weeks. But I'm recording programs that start on schedule and end on schedule, but when playing back, they abruptly end and there is time remaining. Latest...

    "Moving" question from a newbie

    I "moved" about 2 years ago and told them that the dish was already set up and that I was getting all my channels. They TOLD me that I would have to give up my current locals and get the Dallas locals. Which is kinda what I wanted in the first place since they were HD and the Tyler locals...

    Voom..Are you still happy it's gone?

    I'm not happy that Voom is gone. E* gives us 20 new HD channels then takes away 5. I didn't watch all of Voom, but there were some channels I did watch, and I'd be glad to pay for them. Add that to the way that E* counts national HD channels. It shouldn't surprise me that they act like almost...

    How to get a wing dish installed for free

    I'm in East Texas, and get everything off of 119, 121, and 129 (think I got those right), and the one dish is pointed southwest. Where is 61.5 in relation to that. Do I even need to consider it. Sometimes 129 gets hinky. If 61.5 was in a direction that had fewer trees, and served my needs, I...

    What new HD channels this week?

    I asked someone once how many Marines were on the east coast. I was told to count the number of gates to the Navy bases.

    Reconnecting 2nd TV

    The old tv tuned to channel 60 also. I had the receiver in single mode and got the same channel on both tv's as normal. Then switched to dual mode. The 2nd tv changed to Discovery Health.

    Reconnecting 2nd TV

    I originally had 2 tv's and 1-622 receiver. The 2nd tv went away to college. Now we have a 2nd tv, and we'd like to connect things as they were previously. If I remember right, a cable goes from the 622 to the 2nd tv, and a UHF remote (Remote 2) is used to control it. I'm using the original...

    First time "mover." Need help/advice.

    When I did it, I just called and said that I need to change my service address. They asked for a new phone number, so I gave them a cell number. The CSR told me that I had to take the Dallas locals, that I would lose the ones here. I didn't even have to ask about that. If they don't bring it up...

    Cinemax for 1 year for .01 w/ autopay/paperless billing

    Follow up. I read further in this thread about people using live chat. I found that link, and chatted for a few min, but she told me to call another number 1-800-333-3474. After going thru the automated part of the call, I got a rep, who sent it up the chain to "dispute resolution". After a 3-4...
