Why is it for those with two HD tv's, dish only wants to give you one 622, giving HD to one tv, but SD to the other? And, you're wanting to record/watch HD on both tv's.

Getting a HD receiver (non dvr) for the second HDtv is no solution because you maybe can then watch live HD on the second tv, but watching 'HD recordings" will still come from the 622 via the SD output. Dish just refuses to give out two 622's to one household.

And too, you're limited to two tuners going with one 622 and two HDtv's. I just cant figure why dish thinks no one has two HDtv's and might want to also watch HD recordings on the two.

I know some are going to claim you can get two 622's, but I have not been able to get dish cs to agree to that. Sure, they will give a plain old HD receiver for that other Hdtv, but no 622. Even dishbuilder, on their website does not offer the option to watch two HD recordings on two HD tv's.

Yes, another well informed opinion. :rolleyes:

I agree that in some ways, E* sucks.

But D* super sucks.

As Ross Perot might have said ... there is a giant sucking sound coming from the direction of El Segundo.

D* stinks too ... after all, it is Turd Bird TV.

Yes, as a current D* user, D* giving away their HD recorder is moot. D* only has like a hand full of HD channels. Totally unacceptable. And dont tell me D* will have tons of HD channels very soon. I have heard that rumor since 2003.

BTW, I Finally made a deal with dish. They are installing one 622 and one 625 next week for the $199 upfront. They were going to charge me another $99 for the 625 but dropped that. I'm wondering if dish will tack that $99 onto the first bill anyway?

Everything was verbal so I have no proof as to what dish agreed to. But at least I get basically what I wanted. Two dvr's and HD. I'm excited!

I've been using HDMI on both my boxes for about 4-5 months now and (knock on wood) I haven't had any issues yet. :)

That's what I thought 2 weeks ago. My HDMI went out last week after working since May. I know it's a mechanical problem since the video went on and off with my footsteps, by pushing on the cabinet and jiggling the connector. It worked like that for almost a week. Then it quit completely. I called dish and tech support says it's software and they don't know when it will be fixed. Could someone please tell me how software problems could go on and off when I jiggle the connector? They just refuse to address the issue. I sent for a new DVI/HDMI cable from Monoprice since I couldn't prove to them that it wasn't my cable/adaptor that was bad. If the new cable doesn't resolve the problem I will write to ceo@echostar.com. Maybe they will listen to reason. :mad:

Update: I received and installed the new HDMI/DVI cable from Monoprice to eliminate the possibility of a bad cable/adaptor. Still no picture from the HDMI connector. I called dish back to try another csr before emailing ceo. This time a got a very helpful gal who is sending me out a replacement 622.

Will e* negotiate the 99$ hd upgrade fee for a 211 over the phone with exsisting customers? Also does anyone know if they will let you install your own dish? I assume that if you have a dish 500 you need a 300 to get 61.5. I just want to have my stuff together before having to put up with the experts in cust serv.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
