if I sign up for the two year $49.99 price lock now can I upgrade to this when available? My guess is it will not be out before the special is done.

Thinking about upgrading to the Hopper with Sling built in. Not really interested in the Primetime Recording. If that is not running, how many programs can be recorded at a time? With the 722 I have it can do two. Also, If I am watching Sling, does that cut one recording slot out? Thanks!

Would be nice if the epix channels had a little more variety. With 3 channels they should be able to cut down on repetition.

Thanks for the clarification. Now trying to decide if I keep the 250 pack and cancel Blockbuster or keep blockbuster and go back to the 200.

Recently took advantage of the upgrade to Gold promotion. Was looking at the HD for that package and the Dish Website seems to say that The Movie Channel (on channel 329 and 330) are in HD. On my guide they just show up in SD. Could someone confirm if they get those channels in HD? Thanks!

I have not signed up yet but wanted to look at what would be available for streaming. As others have said, it looks like just stuff from the Platinum channels. Is there any confirmation that the BB streaming content will be added? If it is just streaming of Platinum channels that seems to be a...

Was trying to consolidate and clean up my TV setup and was looking at the Powerline connection Dish has. My router is upstairs so it would have to send signal downstairs but not real far. I have good internet speed and am planning on using the new Blockbuster Movie Pass with my 722k. Will it...

Dish has promised not to raise rates until 2013. Any rate increase for ESPN would have to wait until then. Right?

Was interested in the Sling Adapter. Have a new 13inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i5. The compatibility test fails. Says I need at least 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo chip. The 2.3GHz i5 is no slouch. Has anybody tried it with that processor? Don't want to go to all the trouble to get it then it just not...

Merry Christmas to All and Happy New Years. May we all get new HD under our Christmas trees no matter who our provider is. Peace on Earth!

One of the pictures has the "HD Duo DVR " as a requirement. It sounds like the VIP 612 would be out. I am thinking of switching over and with one TV looks like I could only get the VIP 612 (Not planning on paying the extra for the 922). Anybody with some clarity on this?

Thanks for clearing this up.

Just switched over from E* and enjoyed reading the uplink reports. Does D* have anything like that and if so where are they posted?

I am sure you will be getting new HD any day now as I just switched to D* That is how my luck is. Enjoy! (This means D* won't be getting any new HD now. Sorry)

Thanks for the info, would not been able to solve it without the forum. Look forward to getting into the CE program!

Seemed to have fixed it. Went into the settings and noticed the dish was set to slimline 5 72.5 (I believe ) changed it to just slimline 5 and it all worked. Got the HD and no pixel issues. Not sure why but it did. Have to make sure I am geting all channels. Some to the sats had n/a by...

Just got switched from Dish over to Direct TV. Have the HR-23 and Slimline 5. Installer could not get a signal from 99 and 103. So, no HD. He could not get it dialed in and will have to get another installer to come out and help. I am stuck looking at SD channels that are very pixelated and some...

I have the same problem with a year old Sony Bravia. Dish told me it was a software issue on their side. As to yours, with a tv that old it may not have HDCP compliance. On the Dish site it stated tv's made since 2005 should work. You could try using component cables.

I got an offer in the Mail yesterday from DirectTV and in the literature it states that they have 200 HD channels coming. That is 200 more HD Channels!!! Kind of hard to believe.

Just had a chat with Dish Tech support and they informed me there is an issue with Sony Bravia tvs Quote: "but it is a current issue with our receivers and the Sony bravia tv's currently they are still working on fixing the issue" That is why I can't purchase PPV. Oh well, that money will go to...

I have a Sony Bravia and a VIP 612 that is doing this with VOD and PPV. Very irratating. The HDCP works fine on my xbox 360 that is also plugged in via HDMI. The Sony Bravia is a little less than a year old and is HDCP compliant. Guess ALL of my PPV money will be going the Xbox way.

I sure hope we don't loose any espn channels. I think a lot of people would have to switch especially when football season starts. You never know what Dish will do. Never seen a company get into so many court battles. "Can't we all just get along?"

Just did the online chat an was able to switch to the GoldHD + Platinum. Was on Gold HD. No extra charge. It pays to be part of Satellite Guys! Thanks Scott!

I am trying to be nice and not be negative on Dish. Also feel the people in this forum are for the most part above average in tech intelligence. If forum members are having trouble how can regular people understand this? I read it and still can't figure out what is going on. I have the...

Ok, Help me here, I have Classic Gold 250 plus the Gold HD. After August 1 am I getting Platinum HD added in at no extra cost?
