    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    It's not a widescreen it's a 4x3 set but does have colorstream inputs which are component inputs for a 480i resolution max, however I do see your point. I haven't decided yet if I'll stick with Dish or go with Verizon's FIOS once I make the move to HD. Since I lost my distant networks the...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    I am old school, I have a dual LNB, non dish 500 with two feeds, one to the living room, one to the bedroom. There is no available connection to add a second coax to the living room, where the 625 will be installed. Can they not just split the current single feed to the living room to provide...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    Ok, I followed the advice and called up again. This time I didn't mention that the 510 was eating recordings, I just said I wanted to upgrade. The CSR didn't bat an eye. They're sending out a 625 and a technician to install it, which they insisted on. Not sure why I need a technician. I...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    I told her all of that, she was doing this all from the computer from my account she said that the computer only offered the upgrade path from the 510 to the 622. I said "so you are telling me that the only option that I have is to upgrade to this even though I can't take advantage of it?"...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    Ok, I just got off the phone with Dish. Apparently the 625 is not an available upgrade path from the 510. I have to go with the 622 HD model, which would of course require me to subscribe to the more expensive HD programming. That's all well and good except that I don't even have an HD TV...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    Actually now that I think about it I have 2 510 models, I am already paying the DVR fee for both of them. I really am mostly interested in being able to watch and record the same time, I often find myself recording on the second receiver which means I'm forced to watch it in another room which...

    My 501 has an insatiable appetite

    After the DST upgrade my 501 chewed up about 30 or so recorded programs. It has sporadically wiped out a handful of programs since then. Today it decided that I was not to have any recorded programs and wiped out the remaining items, including ones that were protected. Software check shows...

    501 deleting recordings

    Not sure what 'trick' the update was supposed to perform but today I'm missing about another 15-20 recordings. Nice job Dish.... Keep an eye on your recordings folks.

    501 deleting recordings

    My wife just called me to ask me if I had deleted a bunch of recorded shows. Apparently my 501 gobbled up about 30 recordings. Way to go Dish! I've been on Dish for nearly 10 years, but things like this and losing my distants are making it harder to remain a loyal customer. I am considering...
