Doogie, There are some pros to the guide on the 722 and 622 in my opinion, but the pros for Direct outweigh them for me. As I said before, the picture quality and full-time RSN are biggies, and the MRV just blows anything Dish has away. With Graves Satellite, they offer the same national...

Hey doogie, I'm in OKC and I just switched from Dish to Direct last weekend, and I love it so far. Went from a 722 and two 622's with Dish to three HR24's and three H24s. I made the switch because of college football and Thunder games on FSSW, and what everyone else is saying about the...

I was just installed on Friday, and it's actually the same on Dish Network. The program guide for Fox News and Fox Business is just wrong, so Dish and Direct don't know that all episodes are not first run. I just programmed my HR-24 to do a manual recording M-F from 4pm-5pm (Central Time) on...

My installer this past Friday took the mast and dish off the roof, but left the mount attached to the shingles, since it was sealed pretty well. They removed the LNB and gave it to me and trashed the dish itself.

Wow compared to Dish it rocks Just switched from Dish on Friday and the PQ on every HD channel is significantly better, but none more so than ESPN. On Dish, it was so compressed and pixelated, but with Direct, it's much better, actually rivaling the networks. This is on a 92" projector so...

Another Dish to Direct switcher Just got my 3 HR-24s and 3 H-24s hooked up on Friday. Love the MRV setup, and the HD picture quality is definitely better than on Dish. The only thing I really miss from Dish is PIP and recording 3 college games at once on one DVR. If I could schedule all my...

I appreciate the replies guys. I went ahead and emailed ceo@echostar.com to ask about getting upgraded to a 1000.2 dish. I did mention that I've had rain-fade issues on 129 that the 1000.2 may help solve. Since my original 18 month contract expired in April, I mentioned that I might be...

Hi, I leased a 622 and a 625 back in October of 2006. I believe I have a Dish 1000, but I'm not real sure. I have a triple-LNB setup and a Wineguard OTA coming into the house currently, and am planning on adding another 622 that I've purchased. I've noticed coming off of the Dish currently...

The second quarter runs through June 30, 2008.

I think a lot of us don't comment about this channel because the thread inevitably degrades into a diatribe by someone blasting it as 'right-wing' propaganda or similar. Face it, whether you agree with their politics or not, Fox News is very popular with high viewership, and many of the same...

Um, it is 'break' instead of 'brake' in this case. ;)

I got UFC 67, 69, and 71, all in HD, so I don't see any reason why they would stop now.

I'm normally not a stickler on grammar and spelling Poke, but since you use the word so often in your posts, I thought I'd throw this out there: it's "have" and not "half", as in, "We'll have to wait and see next week".

Another vote for History Channel.

My CC sometimes will just stop working until I turn them off and then back on again on my 622. They will then work for another hour or two before stopping again. Very strange.

In this case it's not TNT Air Force 1 was actually filmed so that the matte that is normally used to make the 35 mm film into the 1.85:1 aspect ratio for the theater is actually removed for 4:3 TV viewing. In other words, you should see more of the picture on top and bottom when viewing the SD...

I'm one of the ones who hosts a party with 8 to 10 friends and we split it. Funny, I originally saw UFC 67 only in SD on Dish's website, so sent them an email asking about the HD feed. They replied that they were only carrying it in SD, with no future plans at this time to carry the HD...

I just saw it too and I was even able to purchase it using the guide for the same $39.95 SD price! That's odd, though, since I even got a second reply from Dish telling me that they have no plans to carry future UFC events in HD, but are always open to suggestions. I guess this just adds to...

Nope, they just replied to an email this morning that they are showing the SD version only :mad: I looked on DirecTV's website and you can get either the SD version for the regular price of $39.95, or the HD version for $49.95. If Direct can do it, why can't Dish just use the HD PPV channel to...

Just found out UFC 67 not available in HD through Dish... But is available in HD on DirecTV. That just sucks!!

Am I correct in assuming that Voom can and is going forward with it's previous plans regarding channels because it is a PENDING sale of Rainbow 1 to Echostar? Since when do they have to just go into a holding pattern regarding use of that satellite when the sale has not even been approved (or...

I agree with DucTape, content is king. I've tried watching some of the movies on the Voom originals, but the majority of it is so bad that I'd rather watch a movie on TBS or any SD channel. I think adding any of the SD channels that are missing is vitally important before Voom could gain mass...

Anybody got an "AxE" to grind?

It was Sgt. Shultz who used to say "I know nothing!", not Colonel Klink.

Those were already there before yesterday...
