DISH Network adds 15 more HD channels {Engadget HD}
Jul 11th 2007 12:48PM Mark... yes you are right about the 129 issues.
To expand on your comment and my previous comment... I am hearing that the best way is to use the Dish 1000 for the 129 sat and get a smaller Dish 500 and point it to the 119 and 110 sats.
Right now I'm just using the 1000 for all three sats and have problems losing the 129 signal. This summer seems to be getting worse though and I have a spare 500. Time to get on the roof. :)
I hope with the addition of these extra channels that the quality does not go down. Past experiance with the SD channels lead me to believe that my hopes are too high though. Hopefully the networks will demand that Dish keep some kind of minimum standards.

Jul 10th 2007 6:26PM I agree with DEEZNUTZ about the interruptions... not a huge deal, but they do happen. Dish has some birds up there with problems. The key to getting better reception is to use 2 dishes. One pointed at the HD sat and one pointed at the 2 SD sats. Right now dish wants to use the Dish 1000 to try and point to all three sats. Some installers will do this for you.

Im glad for Dishes new channels... the more the better. :)
Dish Network intros ViP222 multiroom HD receiver {Engadget HD}
Jun 11th 2007 12:10PM FYI... All the outputs on the VIP622 are hot at the same time. You can output Component to one tv and HDMI to the other. HD on 2 tv's. Same channel on both sets, but at least you get HD in the bedroom.

Discovery's Planet Earth's premier killed on Sunday night {Engadget HD}
Mar 29th 2007 11:46AM So... it was not shown? I thought I missed the premier. I see on their website that next Sunday 4/1/07, they will be airing two episodes... Desert and Ice Worlds.
Am I in luck and can catch the premier on 4/1/07?

Battlestar Galactica moving to network television? NBC says no {Engadget HD}
Oct 10th 2006 3:55PM I agree with all. I think the only real solution is for Sci-Fi to go HD.
