    Dish Commercials Very LOUD!

    Has anyone heard any updates on this issue? It does not seem like Dish wants to fix this. My wife is starting to ask if we should move to DirecTV of Uverse (funny how certain things like this bother certain people - of course at times it blows so loud through the stereo you can hear the...

    WANTED: Your Thoughts on DISHONLINE.COM

    1) On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best) what do you rate DISHONLINE.COM as far as its overall rank. 1 - THe part where it connects to my reciever only works about 1% of the time (have a 622) even though my receiver shows all is well. Have a feeling it has something to...

    Dish Commercials Very LOUD!

    Has anyone else noticed that the dishnetwork injected commercials are about 30% higher in volume than the regular commercials? I think they have always been a little louder, but in the last month or two it has really become annoying. I have a 622 reciever and anytime a dishnetwork commercial...

    99 cent VOD movies

    I watched one of these movies last night. To me this is a good deal and is on par with Redbox and Netflix pricing. Sorry Dish, but I cannot imagine anyone paying $6.99 for DVD quality on demand movies (just my opinion, but dish HD movies are not quite bluray quality). Keep this .99 deal up and...

    future receivers? support 2 HDTV's?

    $3 a month...how? They want me to pay for the receiver plus the extra monthly receiver fee. I am looking at Directv now, as they are implementing sharing of DVR recordings. With that I could get 2HD DVRs and 2 HD recievers all networked together. Since I have 3 HDTVs in my house and 1...

    Receiver Suggestions

    Thanks KKlare. I will see what dish will sell me a 722 for. I am also looking at switching over to DirecTV and getting their upcoming multi-room viewing. This would really solve my issue as I could get two HD DVRs and One HD reciever and share the content from the DVRs. Just been with Dish so...

    Receiver Suggestions

    Hi All, I need some suggestions on getting an additional receiver. I currently have a 622 that drives my HDTV in my living room and my second TV in my bedroom (TV2). I also have a 625 which supplies a TV in my gameroom and then feeds another bedroom TV (TV2). I have no put an HDTV in my...

    DishONLINE Download Speed

    I have to go with Scott on this one. The DishOnline is such a pain to use and is way too expensive. Guess that is why I bought a blu-ray player that has built in Netflix streaming. With Netflix, you go online and build up your instant watch queue and then it shows up on your dvd player (xbox and...

    ESPN classic now green in my guide ?

    Just noticed this as well and of course jumped on this site to see what was going on (great site). Anyway, I watch ESPN Classic about about as much as I watch the Home Shopping Network so no big loss for me. The real question now is should Dish change their programming package names...

    DVR Viewing throughout entire home?

    I have been waiting for years for a similar solution. Instead, Dish works on Mickey Mouse crap like a touchpad remote control. Give me a break..... I have my bedroom hooked up via coax to my 622. I now have an HD TV in my bedroom. I either would like a tuner two HDMI output (not a long run), a...

    New Dish 922 Spec Sheet

    Wow, this looks like a complete "give up" by Dish just to get a new reciever out. I see nothing here that makes this reciever any better than my 622 with my slingbox. Why even bother when they could just box a 722 with a slingbox and include a hookup diagram? Maybe I am the only one, but I am...

    HD Stutter

    I had this happen a couple of times on my 622. Since I am in dual- mode I dont use the swap/pip. My solution was to reboot my reciever. Basically just open the little door on the front, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and it will shut down. I think you then have to hit power one...

    Best way to get two HDTV hooked up?

    I have had this same issue for a while now. HD tv in the living room and bedroom and want HD on my second TV. I keep waiting for a good solution from dish (can anyone say - LET US SHARE RECORDINGS BETWEEN RECEIVERS") but they seem to think a built in Slingbox and a fancy touch remote is what...

    ATSC agrees. No more loud commercials.

    Now all we need is dish to adjust all their channels to the same volume and for the people who make the newer tv shows and movies to make the voices loud enough I can hear them without the special effects waking everyone in the house. Sorry for the rant, but am I the only one tired of using a...

    Are Premium Movie Channels A Good Value?

    I had all the movie channels for over three years and then I cancelled them about a year ago. I went with netflix instead. I am currently on the 2 movies at a time package and I have an LG Blue Ray player that allows netflix streaming. Mostly only older movies can be streamed and you need a good...

    I assume you are referring to quality and not cost. I can tell you my bill does not look anything like a product form Dollar Tree :)

    722K Tuner 2 via IR

    Thanks to everyone for their time and effort to test and answer my question. I guess I too will have to wait for the 9xxk to come out It really seems strange that with all the new technology dish is coming out with, they cannot do some simple things like getting a slingbox to work on tuner...

    722K Tuner 2 via IR

    I was looking at the online user guide for the 722k and found this: Changing UHF/IR Using the Switch Your TV2 remote control has a switch to change from sending both IR and UHF signals to sending only IR. The switch comes preset to the UHF position, which sends both types of signals, but if...

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    OK, Legend for $3 but based on the screen shot, the movies will cost $6.99 in the future? Is that correct? I just cannot see why all the providers (satellite and cable) think they can make money charging more for rentals than what our local Blockbuster (or Netflix for that matter) charges. I...

    First Look: Dish Network's DTVPal Digital Converter

    So if none of the CECB's have both a Digital and Analog tuner and i assume that TVs moving forward will only have digital tuners.....what is Dish going to do about their second tuner outpout on their dual tuner recievers? Are they planning on making the modulated output ATSC in the near future?

    First Look: Dish Network's DTVPal Digital Converter

    Was ready to buy one of these until I read the manual and understood what they meant by analog passthrough. I have an OTA antenna and I route the RF (second tuner) output of two of my dishrecievers into this same signal. Basically today from my secondary TVs I can either go to say channel 35 and...

    TiVo's contempt motion is out

    Seems dish has two options: 1. use single DVRs and let us hook them up via ethernet. As long as I can share recordings from one to the other, I would not mind having multiple units. You could even stack 4 in your closet and cable them together. All other untis could just access the recorded...

    Dish to begin DRM on PPV May 6th

    It is official....Charlie is dumber than a rock. Between this crap, no hd (or even widescreen) on-demand and no free on-demand, I am afraid I will have to start looking at Cable again. Recording PPV with a 24 hour time limit is worthless to me. Will just rent from the Blockbuster up the...
