Q & A:
e-mail questions:
Q: Rick
I'd like to see all dvr's have remote access so that I could change my recording from my phone or computer, I have a 625.
A: We hope to have that out for the 625 sometime this fall...
Q: Bill
I have local channels in my Dish Network package & live near the state line of Florida & Alabama the closest station to me is across the border from the state line from me, Why can't I get it?
A: Thats something we are living with they set up something called DMA's Designated Market Areas -- lines drawn on a map in an analog world years ago, the law lets us only provide your local channel in your DMA due to those lines... it is something the Satellite Home Viewer Act - the Congress is looking at, it is up for renewal and we are working hard with them.
Q: Doel
I bought a ViP 222K , I need to know when it will be ready to record onto an External Hard Drive via the USB port?
A: Available now on the 211, need to finish writing the software to, probably the first of the year before it is available for the 222k, check out the next Tech Forum, our engineers could maybe answer this.
Q: Bill
Can you be more can you be more definitive as to when the new 922 will be released, I bought an iphone and a sling app in the expectation it would be available in the late summer.
A: This receiver is taking a little longer than we expected as this in an unbelievable receiver because it has built in sling and internet in addition to our normal Dish network service in 1 box, the OS is taking a lot longer than has been expected... hopefully before Christmas, check next months Tech Chat for more information... It won't be released before November 12th for sure...
Q: Jay
Why do I need a phone line? I really need to get rid of my phone line and do not order ppv's....
A: Technically only for ppv, but there are many diagnostic issues that we can help with, Broadband is an option, we are looking at Technology to tie into your cellphone.
Q: Elizabeth
Programming question, what new rates and packages can Dish Network offer to existing customers.
A: We would like to give you only what you want to watch, but we are forced to offer bundled programming by the programmers. We offer competitive pricing...
