Hello Pall, This is something that I myself have been telling Dishnetwork for the last past 3 years. I own a dish player DVR receiver. Ever cense I had it, I wanted to get better control of it. But right now, it has better control of me because I can't see the on screen menus. I wrote to them via email, they wrote back to tell me, "we're working on it." But I'm wondering, when is it going to all be assessable?
