    HD programming only?

    Sorry for probably a stupid question, but is there an option for only HD programming with Dish? I have 1 dish currently at 110/119, a 622, and no traditional phone line. What are my options? TIA

    921 can I disconnect fan?

    Thanks for the input, I'll try to replace the fans, thats a good idea. Sorry StonePhillips420, but the noise is seriously too great to make it practical for my bedroom. It may be that mine is noisier than others, but it is ridiculous and not 'soothing' at all, as a cieling fan may be...

    921 can I disconnect fan?

    live with the noise, youll be okay? ... you don't understand - its really loud. Easily the loudest thing in the house - like having a single engine aircraft taking off from my bedroom. Don't use Dish anymore and its a few years old so warranty shouldn't be an issue. And without EPG...

    921 can I disconnect fan?

    Unfortunately, the UHF remotes never did work reliably with mine, I have to push any button several times to hope it might work. I always used an old ir dish remote for it. Also, I want this fh HD OTA, so running wires wouldn't really be workable.

    921 can I disconnect fan?

    Former Dish customer and I'd like to use my 921 as more than just an ugly $1000 paperweight, but its far too noisy to be used in my bedroom for OTA reception, and if I keep it unplugged when not in use, it takes at least 5 min to boot up. Will there be overheating if the fan is...

    "Dish pause" instead of cancel

    I don't know how they did it, but a csr just talked me into a "dish pause" instead of cancelling service. They want to charge me $5/month to suspend service rather than cancel, that way I can come back within the six months if I want. My question is - is there a penalty for coming back if I...

    Dish DVI on Dish's 34" monitor

    Is the "DishDVI" proprietary? That is will I be able to hook up a non-Dish source to this monitor via DVI? If so I'm assuming that there is an adapter to hook an HDMI output to the tvs DVI - is this correct? Thanks for the help

    Looks like I'll be jumping ship ...

    I was all excited about my upgrade to the 622 and the new HD lined up for me, but when the numbers came in and I'll be saving over $1000 over 12 months with cable, I had to make the choice. I hope the move isn't too painful, there are several drawbacks plus I'll be just another schmo with...

    Over 18 Months DishHD is $737 more than my Cable

    Its is tough to make the comparison, I do like dish better and they have more hd, all digital, better dvr, etc... I always notice the inferior service when visiting friends with cable - but I have to draw the line somewhere. I did the math also when confronted yesterday with all of the fees...

    $22 per month for useable 622

    The way I see it, this box will cost me $22 per month before programming and taxes. I was happy about upgrading until they went over all of the hidden charges $6 per month lease fee $5 per month DVR fee (why not just admit its $11 per month lease) $6 per month no phone line fee (1st time...

    622 guide for OTA question

    Will I have to subscribe to Dish's locals to get the guide on the 622 like I do for the 921? Drives me crazy because I get ditigal stations perfectly OTA but can't really use them especially for pvr w/o subscribing to SD channels I don't need.

    Why such an unusual lineup on HDPPV?

    Is HD that much more effective with animated programs? Why not many live action or big box office movies on HDPPV - are they not made available to dish in HD? Just always wondered why always kids movies and anime on HDPPV - never checked it out b/c doesn't seem worth the $6.99 (I have phased...

    Unsure about moving to 942 now

    I think that its been said they will not even activate a 942 after Feb 1. That means you would be the last customer to activate the old technology and it will immediately be obsolete. I can't believe they even suggested that you do this - and are they cramming 942 activations in before the feb...

    Is pocketDish compatible w/ subscription music services?

    I'm looking for a Rhapsody to go compatible player - if pocketDish works and is only about $50 more than the units I'm looking at, I may give it a try. Also, does anyone know how good the return policy would be with pocketDish - does it depend on the retailer or is it through echostar?

    921 started Flashing like Crazy

    This update moved my picture. White line runs on the top of the screen because the picture does not reach the top. Screen is moved up to the max in preferences menu. 921 is lockong up all the time now, feel like I spend more time rebooting than watching tv. Had relatively little problems...

    Here comes L2.19 for the 921

    I don't need the sd locals - I get them fine and HD OTA. I am very upset that they are trying to force me to order them to get the OTA and by the way, I'm all for capitalism but there are limits to permittable abuses. One, as outlined in the Sherman Anti-Trust acts, is that you cannot pair...
