I just got a call from Dish Network (Customer Account Rep). He asked why I canceled (because of the Fox dispute) and if I was informed that Dish would be getting their Fox affiliates back on the air on 11/1. I was not asked (I canceled 2 days ago on 10/27). He said thank you for being a Dish...

I was offered $5/month off for 3 months, I said NO. He said he'd be back in a minute. He came back with $10/month off for 12 months. I said, HELL NO. My service was canceled and they said they would send me boxes and labels that I would have to pay $15/each for if I used them to return their...

I bought a hi-gain rooftop antenna several years ago (we're about 22-23 miles from the tower) and installed it myself in the attic of my garage. It works great. But I agree, the all-in-one solution is probably more popular. E* receivers have the integrated capability, not sure about D*. I'm...

Bye, bye Dish Network. Cable TV installer (US Cable) comes on Wed. morning to set us up. No contract, reduced price for the first 9 months, then a bit more than Dish for comparable channels. They have dual-tuner DVRs but not multi-room (like E*) nor whole house (like D*). We'll try it for...

Sounds like a hard drive going bad ... But you shouldn't need the insurance to get it replaced. AFAIK, Dish owns the equipment. They should replace it for free, unless you upgrade. Then you might get charged a small fee (and another 2 year commitment?). I had to do this awhile back...

23 days and counting ... can you say: The Fleecing of Corporate America against Corporate America? I've been thinking about D* but don't want them installing more cable and satellites in/on my house. Seriously thinking about switching to my local cable company (US Cable) ... UGH. But I...

Greetings... Jumping in to the discussion a bit late but like many others here, I now have a 2nd HD DVR and see the need to share recordings between the two down the road. Our 622 is almost full (main viewing room) and it's too much trouble to swap the new 722 (currently viewed in bedroom)...

I subscribed to the multisport package awhile ago ... for about 24 hours. So many games were blacked out that it just wasn't worth it. Maybe things have changed now so I might look into it again. Let us know about the HD content. I wish the NBA League Pass would have games in HD ... I'd...

Sorry for the newbie question but ... Can someone explain to me what "uplinked" actually means? I believe tonight's Twins/White Sox game is being presented in HD as well. But not on Dish ... yet anyway. :( At least most of the playoff games should be in HD. Right??? :)

Still no FSN North in HD on E* DANG!!! The Twins/Royals game just started on FSN North and it said, "Presented in High Definition where available." But not here on Dish!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

My bad. You are correct JohnH. My results match gjh3260. I just did the switch test and three birds show up: 110, 119 & 129. :D Sorry for the misinformation earlier ... Does this mean I'll get FSN North in HD when available??? And will it just show up in my guide? Under the all HD list...

Line of sight isn't much different but I will say that the 1000 dish does have to point much lower in the sky than say the 500 (?). But even if you have to trim some trees, you won't be kicking yourself for switching. We had D* for 18 months and got tired of waiting ... switched to E* and...

Hmmm .... I have the ViP622, I'm subscribed to the Silver package and I believe I get at least 29 of their HD channels (all but NGHD) now. I just got the ViP622 in June and they put up a new dish as well (the 1000?). So now I'm REALLY confused! Any further info. GREATLY appreciated! :)

Newbie question OK, I have another dumb question. I was looking at my installation info last night and noticed I get two satellites: 110 and 119. I don't believe 129 or 61.5 were even listed. Does this mean I won't get FSN North in HD? :confused:

I have a hunch it may have been at 12:10pm CST today. I'm pretty sure that the Oakland/Minnesota game was in HD today ... It was on ESPN as well but it was blacked out on ESPN in our area so not sure if that was in HD or not ...

I have this question as well. I'm in FSN North territory (darn, my MN Twins just lost to Oakland!). Anyway, someone over on AVS Forum says it's supposed to be today (Wednesday 9/13) but nothing yet .... I'm also curious as to how these will show up (I have the ViP622). Any info appreciated! :)

I am in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and have the 622. No popping here. :)

Anyone hooked up a Myth box to a 622? I've had a MythTV box for a few years now and had it hooked to my 811 (via S-video) and it worked great. Not HD of course, but it's better than nothing! I haven't tried hooking it up that way to the 622 yet but I'm assuming I could? Any ideas if/when...

Count my vote for Fox Sports Net North!!! Go Twins! :)

How does that work? I have the 622 hooked up to my HDTV and a 2nd SD tv but should the need present itself someday, I'd like to know how to hook it up to another SD tv. I understand that these two SD tv's would share the same tuner. So the net effect is that the 622 can power 3 tv's: 1 HD, 2...
