    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Well if they do settle (soon) and it puts AMC back on Dish, all you folks can thank me ;). I did not feel like "waiting" any longer so Direct is here at my home (at this very moment) installing a new system. Just as well I guess because I simply through with Dish at this point anyway after of...

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

    Well, I just "did the deed"........ Direct's new offer that just started made up my mind, their new Genie whole house HD-DVR free for new customers looks like a nice setup. This is going to allow me to save $50.00 a month with the same programming (plus AMC ;)). Looking forward to pulling the...

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

    Granted I am only one customer, but this is my drop dead week, I intend to switch to Direct this week. I waited for Dish as long as I could, but they have left me no choice. AMC is not an obscure channel, it's mainstream and belongs in any basic cable/sate package. This situation is beyond...

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

    It's not missing the channel that's embarrassing, it's the situation that Dish has created. As far as I am concerned, when companies like Dish and content providers like AMC behave like these two have and leave their customers in a situation like this they should be embarrassed. I had no idea...

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

    Let Dish offer AMC as a "premium" A la carte, sort of thing then... Customers who want the channel can pay for it. I just don't appreciate having a what many/most would consider a mainstream channel being taken away from me. My only recourse unfortunately is to switch providers, and even under...

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

    I for one an NOT impressed, and hate being forced to leave Dish after more than 10 years. It's a major pain dealing with switching providers, and I really don't appreciate being put into this position. I was a loyal customer, but Dish has really gone to far this time. In my opinion, a few...

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

    ????????? I thought I was being extremely conservative to apply $140 per month when looking out on a 30 year horizon. I pay a little over 100 a month now and have been with DISH for over a decade, inflation alone should bring up the number. Being a rural household, I could easily see using...

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

    I honestly think that Dish is underestimating how furious a lot of long time customers are becoming over these childish shenanigans. When I am forced to cancel and go to Direct, my "word of mouth" will extend to many, many others for the rest of my life. By my estimation DISH stands to lose...

    If Dish drops AMC, will you drop dish??

    I am a 10 year plus, loyal customer running 3 HD receivers.... If Dish drops AMC I will be switching to Direct, and when/if it happens Dish will have a clear understanding concerning my dissatisfaction.

    722k - increase HD partition?

    It's not setup that way..... The drive space is not partitioned, you either "fill it up" with 55 hd hours or an equivalent amount of sd hours... Just record something and notice that both types of available hour decrease no matter which type of recording you made.

    3 HD Receivers??

    I have (1) 722 and (2) 612's I just called them and said I needed a third HD receiver and they said "no problem". No charge for the unit and "installation" was free

    Reallocating availble recording hours from SD to HD

    Dang... Now do I feel stupid... For some reason I had not noticed the hours going up/down for both types of programing as recordings were added/deleted in one of the areas. Thanks for your help in defogging my brain ;)

    Reallocating availble recording hours from SD to HD

    Reallocating available recording hours from SD to HD Is there a way to do this? I hate having 300-400 SD hours, and only 30 HD hours... Who use SD hours anymore?

    DP44 Power inserter issue

    Looking for some advise/opinion...... Yesterday neither my 612 or 722 could acquire any satellite signals (they would try for hours if I let them). I unplugged the power inserter for about a minute, plugged it back in and the receivers then acquired the signals in a normal time. After about...

    when will dish fix HDMI on the 612?

    Since Dish released the L4.73 version software, I have not had any more freeze ups........ not to say it's actually "fixed" but so far so good at the moment. I will report back after a few days pass.

    FIRST LOOK: Dish ViP 612 HD DVR

    I have a similar (HDMI complaint) thread going the the HD subforum....... I wonder if Dish will surrender and swap out the flawed 612's for 722's if a customer demands fully/correctly functioning HDMI? I think I will float the idea by them.....

    when will dish fix HDMI on the 612?

    Thanks for the input.......... We (the 612 owner's) need to all keep up the pressure on Dish until they get this straightened out. What good is a HDMI receiver that can't do HDMI Component is not an answer, just a cheap bandaid

    when will dish fix HDMI on the 612?

    Hello everyone...... first post here at this site........ I just upgraded all my equipment and ended up with a 722 and a 612... the 612 when hooked up via HDMI will randomly freeze in menus (requires a reset to recover). I thought it was just my new unit, until I researched the issue (here...
