    Well, like I said, it's really a minor issue that I can easily work around, so it's probably not worth petitioning anyone for some special implementation that the majority of folks probably wouldn't even care about. BTW, just curious, but what is the "SW Dept"? (... software dept?)
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    As a follow-up (and after separately formatting my second Western Digital WD Elements 2 TB EHD), I connected my new Plugable Technologies 4-port powered USB 3.0/2.0 hub to the rear USB port on my 922 and then plugged in both of my EHD's to the hub on January 11th. My 922 has had absolutely no...

    Yeah, I just saw them too a few minutes ago.
  4. General DISH™ Discussion
    That's a very interesting thread. I wonder where James Long is getting that information from.
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    No, they haven't showed up yet for me either. However, the last time I first questioned and then "complained" about the Epix free preview getting what I felt was a late start, I got taken to the woodshed for being unreasonable. The consensus seems to be that if any free preview starts sometime...

    I honestly don't know. But since I pay attention to this stuff on a practical basis whenever a premium free preview comes down the pike, all I can say is that the start times (i.e., when the free channels actually show up on my guide) are often all over the map (and this can often include the...

    My, that's quite profound. I guess the corollary would be, "It's on while it's on", and, "It ends when it ends". :wizardhat Ignorance is bliss. :wave:
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    Thanks and I see them now as well. As a side note, it just goes to show you that some folks on the other thread who said free previews aren't supposed to start until 5:00 PM on the start day don't necessarily know what they're talking about. I have seen free previews start a day ahead (just...

    Take it easy. You can always find more outrageous examples of "mean and nasty" elsewhere (and I am on a few of those kinds of forums so I am well aware of what you are talking about). The only comment that was made concerning this forum was the possibility of it being "less friendly".

    No, it's not just you as I have to say that I've noticed the same thing even though I don't have a huge post count (I often read more than responding or initiating threads/posts). I am a member of probably over 80 forums on a variety of subjects and I am more active on some than others, but I...

    Look buddy (and the rest of you guys as well), some us pay more attention to such things, and what's your specific problem with that? I am a paying Dish customer and it's a free country for the most part the last time I checked. Just because someone else approaches whatever differently than...

    The union thing is admittedly off-topic, but there seems to be a number of off-topic posts in this thread. Beyond that, I have the feeling that the companies you reference would be going to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China and elsewhere for raw materials, merchandise, manufacturing, labor ... you...

    Usually, you take your life into your hands these days if you dare bring up unions. I can't say I have been the biggest supporter of unions (as they often bring their own baggage into the equation), but, there is a reason why we have (or in some cases, had) so many benefits that folks have...
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    Yeah, you're absolutely right, the truth can hurt ... and I do feel your pain bub. :lol:
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    OK, fine. So all 5 of Dish's CSR's & TSR's didn't know what they were talking about earlier today. And other than the start & finish dates, Dish always has an established window defined in exact hours that they plan to offer the free previews, and when we're outside that magic window (whenever...
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    Yeah, that's the same baloney you're spewing over on the other thread. I have done plenty of Dish recordings well prior to 5 PM of the start day of free previews, and I have had a number of recordings that went just a bit beyond midnight of the finish day cut-off when the channel access was...
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    Well, I don't know what's "supposed" to happen, but I have done plenty of Dish recordings well prior to 5 PM of the START day, and I have had a number of recordings that went just a bit beyond midnight of the finish day cut-off when the channel access was pulled well before 2-4 AM. Beyond that...
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    Yeah, I guess I've got to give them that. :lol:
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    OK ... almost 15 hours later, the free preview Epix HD 380, 381 & 382 channels just showed up in my channel guide.
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    I was piggy-backing my comments about this on the "Free HBO/Cinemax coming up on 1/11" thread, but I decided to create a new thread. As others have stated and is reflected on the Free Preview channel, there was supposed to be a free preview of Epix channels 292, 380, 381 and 382 from 1/4...
