I haven't tried it before, but I think you can schedule online right now if you have a dishonline account.
Can you get a close up picture of the new remotes?
I'm interested in seeing the bottom row of buttons. It looks like it might be so that you can create a matrix of signals (ie so you can turn on closed captioning by pressing one button). There are some other interesting buttons (the row of multiple colors?) on there too.
Where can we find a Team Summit coverage thread, if this isn't the only one
Um, if Voom sponsored, they sponsored. I'm seriously tickled they sponsored, but not much Charlie can do about it. Duct tape would work I guess, if E* returned whatever consideration received, and the contract allowed for removal of sponsorship.I'm sure they were already printed before the shakeup, but I can't believe they didn't at least put some duct tape over the VOOM logos or something.
That wouldn't be FX & Speed logos on that bottom group, would it?!?
Things that make ya go "Hmmm"
The 722K & 222K must be Mpeg4 on both tuners 1 & 2 right?
To save folks some time, here is an Executive Summary Preview of the Team Summit....Where can we find a Team Summit coverage thread, if this isn't the only one
* And these cool new MPEG4 receivers with dual HD outputs...
I don't understand the 3/4 putput upgradabilty?
Is this talking about putting a HD source out on channel 3/4 using ATSC digital modulation. Kind of like you can do now on the home distibution connecter with analog? Or am I totaly wrong?
OOPs I misread the slideIf you're talking HD output from the tv2 home distribution, I'd think that'd be a pretty big deal.
Unless that is not a standard splitter, it would look like they don't have the TV2 backfeed correct. OUT port to OUT port has RF Isolation on most splitters so that wouldn't work unless that is a component designed as such.
Scott, can we get a close-up of that splitter on the TV2 OUT port?
From the back, that EA dish looks like a slimline. Basically this is going to be a 500+ size dish it seems like. Hope it doesn't require strut arms.
I'm so glad they created a real solution for the TV 2 remote issues. Can we also get a close up of the rear of the 722k's ethernet jack? They would have been smart to build a wifi adapter into this box. There's so many open networks that DISH would unwittingly get two-way connectivity even if the subscriber didn't have a wifi network in many cases.
I'm going to have to charge more to install this stuff.
Of course everyone has their priorities, but if that dish is no bigger than the old D* Phase III and can be mounted on vertical surfaces (e.g. chimney, side of house) then, as long as it gets all the channels, I think Charlie is going to have a distinct advantage.
MUCH less fuss than with the D* AT-9 or "Slimline".
