I agree. We never watch our locals from the Sat. The only reason I pay for them is for the guide info. Those 2 days that I had sub-channel guide info were glorious. I never watch any of those because I don't know what's on them.

I had asked some of these earlier, but I'll try again...
Okay, I think that's enough from me.
Q: Are there plans to make the DVR content on an account's ViP-series receivers available to other ViP-series receivers via DishCOMM or some other home networking technology (100Base-TX)?
Q: Will the USB ports on a ViP211 ever be used for anything usefull? Say, playback off of a USB 2.0 HDD of content archived from a ViP622 on the same account?
Q: Is it planned (or feasible) to use the OpenTV framework to run Opera, Cameo, or Firefox browser and allow ViP receivers with Ethernet to access the WWW via a Home LAN?
Q: Are there any plans to make ViP receivers available to Media Center or iTunes for music & video content playback?

Technical Question...
Ask them what the glitch is with "Local on the 8s." Advertised as an active feature by DISH in October 2006 and still not working.

I was going to have you ask why they stopped updating the Tech Portal list of planned firmware downloads about a month ago, but I see now that it was updated today.
I would like to ask their HD plans. What new channels do they see themselves adding this year etc? MHD is one i would like to see (even if some say its a waste of time)

QUESTION 1- What are the techincal details of the channel 14,000 (thats 14 thousand) range?
These are the channels with NO Video, only guide data. There used to be hundreds of them mapped down to our OTA digital to give use Guide data.
QUESTION 2- Is there a new Technical solution being worked to put them back? When?
For a while we had Local OTA digital sub channels almost all down mapped. We saw the uplink reports.
Then almost all of them went away.
It is hard to imposible to record DVR events or to know when there is something good to watch on these channels. This effects my PBS HD, MyNetwork TV, and my Independent Station (they are only on Digital sub channels in my area).

With what Scott has posted in the General Assembly notes, we may not need to see more than three satellites.:up
Scott also posted a picture of a DPP 33, but no DPP 64.
I wonder if the HP media server scott saw in the expo hall is the answer to both of these. I.e they are partnering for the media sharing and extending the hard drives.
hd support for pocketdish?
Will there ever be any firmware for the pocketdish to downconvert HD programs. I really hate having to re-record the program to the pocketdish just to watch the show on it. If there is no firmware, then is dish going to release the updated pocketdish? Thanks

Channel 366 Fox SW HD
Nothing on this channel, but the Dish HD logo. When do we get programing?
