    Is my dish network broadcasting 1080p?

    Is my dish network broadcasting 1080p?

    Wll, yes and no. They are 1920X1080p (well most), but it depends on the aspect ratio how may pixels are used for the actual picture: a 1.78:1 (16:9) presentation uses 1920 x 1080 pixels a 1.85 presentation uses 1920 x 1038 pixels a 2.35 anamorphic presentation uses 1920 x 817 a 2.39 anamorphic...

    Is my dish network broadcasting 1080p?

    Hogwash. Dish carries both 720p (Fox and ABC suites) and 1080i (HBO, USA, CBS, etc). PPV movies are carried in 1080p24. The only thing the sales guy is an expert at is blowing smoke out his ***. S~ P.S. Here's the spec sheet for the Hopper/Joey as posted by Scott

    Dish is cutting off the ends of shows...

    Not a dish Problem and yes, the same thing happens with D*. Networks schedule to end late, particularly ABC and sometimes CBS comedies on Monday. You need to set to start and end early. I had the same issues with Dish for 12 years and now with D*. If you are recording the same channels back to...

    Put a Dish setup together for me, still unsure.

    One thing to remember of you do go with Dish, is that you can't exchange the EHDs between the VIP HDDVRs (612, 622, 722, 922) and the 211 receivers. S~

    Put a Dish setup together for me, still unsure.

    The fee is per account. So for $40 you could turn all 3 211's into DVR's. There would be no DVR fee, at least for now. With the 211 you can record 1 program off the sat and 1 OTA if you have an antenna. I would go for the 722 over the 612. Dish is waiving the EHD fee on the 722s, according to...

    Another Unreturned Receiver Story

    Well, I got a return call last night from an extremely high up, let's just say higher than the ERT, who got into investigating why I was charged and hadn't been creditied. Seems the audit department denied the credit without even looking at my account notes. Needless to say this person wasn't...

    Another Unreturned Receiver Story

    Well I dropped Dish 6/23. You can search back if you really need to know. Typical reasons: receiver fees, unwillingness to correct an improper install at day 92, etc. So I switched to D*. Well one person keeps going into the D* forum saying that "I will never go back to D*, because they...

    DVR Fees - Will they continue forever?

    Never quoted you. That is my current plan not counting discounts. One of the reasons I left after 12 years. However, there is no Total Choice package anymore and HD is free with the comparable package. 2 receivers dropping the 722 for a 211. Platinum is not free so you needed to add $10. Your...
