I browsed my DVR titles today and discovered a gem that they pushed out. It is titled ".99 cent Movies on Dish!" When I played the recording, the details are that the movies cost 100 times that amount to rent, or 99 cents. When will people stop writing .99 cents when they mean 99 cents...

I really think that everyone should stop trying to hit the satellites. They are in a fragile orbit, and every time somebody hits them, the engineers need to spend some more fuel putting the bird back in place. There is a limited amount of fuel on the birds, and if they need to keep expending...

It does appear to be a tuner sensitivity problem, instead of a hard count cap. By stepping through each channel and just mapping the subchannels on one base channel at a time I see that the 622 only sees a total of 72 subchannels. When I do a full scan, it must step through the channels...

I have the 622 DVR box hooked up to two 500 dishes pointed at 110, 119 and 129. I also have a high quality Winegard antenna hooked up for the local digital channels. Post DIGITAL CONVERSION, there are now over 80 digital locals available in the greater Los Angeles area just on top of Mt Wilson...

I had sent my post to customer support at the same time that I posted here. I got an email answer this morning that I should contact them via phone, because they can replace my two current DVR's with up to four 612 DVRs, which should solve my problem. I guess I need to find out what this is...

Now that HD televisions are very affordable, I have replaced my old CRT televisions in the bedrooms with 26 inch HDTV flat panels. Of course, with my 622 DVR and 625 DVR I only have ONE HD signal available in the house. What is Dish doing for people that have transitioned to today's...

What would happen if I now take the card out? Will the box cease to function? Does it repair itself when I put the card back in again? Is there a limit to how many times I can do this? Could I punish my children by removing this card in order to prevent them from watching TV? Can my...

I got 2 cards in the mail yesterday. They had the serial number of the DVR that they were for printed above the card. I went in to system settings, found the matching numbers and put the cards in the appropriate boxes. I updated a 622 and a 625. Both boxes rebooted and were watching TV again...

These DVRs require good air flow to keep cool. Are you stacking the DVR on top of other heat-producing equipment or perhaps locking it in a sealed cabinet with no air flow around to cool it?

I was considering getting the TiVo HD XL DVR to replace my current service from Dish Network with just over the air digital. I stumbled upon their comparison chart where they attempt to prove that their equipment is better than other hardware available...

I am excited to see that I have 114 HD channels available. Yes, count them, 114! Here is the proof: This image is available on the Dish Network website in the What's New section. When you click the picture, it takes you to the TurboHD pages, which has a hover-over on the biggest...

In the 501 channels, I have I am Legend, which is marked as HD in the label, and 1080P in the description. All others in the 501 channels are SD. I didn't see the option in the survey that has "I am Legend 1080P" and only SD. I want an option to only cache HD VOD stuff on my 622. Please...

Where is this list of 114 HD channels? They must be counting the channels multiple times, when they duplicate them in the 94xx range and then down in the 100 - 400 range. Do they count all of the sports channels as HD, when they are unused more than 95 percent of the time?

I had the same thing from an installer. They were there to repoint my dish because I had lost signal from 129. He took down my VHF antenna, saying that in February it wouldn't work anyway. I asked him how I was supposed to receive my 56 local digital stations. He said that they were analog...

Is there actually a Dish Package that anyone could subscribe to that would result in over 100 HD channels being available? Looking at the current DISH Network -- Home website, if you get the Dish HD Absolute package they show that you get 45 HD channels. (They count 5 PPV channels as being...

I think it is great that Original Aspect Ratio discussions are finally coming around again. OAR is very important to me. It is not understood or appreciated by the vast majority of "HD viewers". The average consumer that buys a 16:9 aspect screen gets bent out of shape if anything other than...

A hard boot usually has some sort of metal insert to protect the toes... usually steel or other very strong material. .... .... just kidding. A hard boot means to reboot the box by holding the power button in for about 10 seconds and allowing the DVR to start up again. An...

HD recording and editing still costs a lot more than the old SD. A show needs a bigger budget to get the necessary hardware and editors. A move to digital broadcasting instead of analog does NOT require a move to HD recording and editing, unfortunately. As long as joe-blow consumer is happy...

I agree, the ability to lock out certain channels is a much stronger concept than building a favorites list. It is the only way that I can force my wife to tune the HD version of a channel rather than the first occurance of a channel number. When I try to accomplish the same thing with a...

Disney East and TOON are both upconverts, SD source upconverted through software to HD. I find it interesting that you thought that it was decent HD. I didn't examine the rest of your list. You should have seen VOOM when it was sending High Bandwidth TRUE HD in MPEG 2 when they were on...

When I look up at the dish, the LNBs are gray. Where do they look red or green? Do I have to take the casings off?

3 weeks ago I added the Cinemax for 1 cent per year deal, and ever since the "change my programming" page has been broken. It says that I need to call to change my programming.

Reminds me of the hypothetical question -- Why is a duck? Best answer so far -- Because the higher it goes the much!

Thanks! I didn't read the fine print. I gave them a credit card number, and now have some R rated movie content, almost in HD. Skinamax really is the correct name of this service.
