I enjoy reading through the various threads, but it is easy to get lost with all the use of acronyms.

I'm not new to this, I've been a Dish customer for more than 12 years, but I still find acronyms that I have never run across or forgotten what they mean.

Would it be possible to post a list of Acronyms and their meanings so a person could find out what something means while reading the forums.

Tnx (Thanks) QRU (nothing further).

We used to have a Glossary here on the forum. But for some reason Scott had to remove it after some version updates. I don't remember why.
 
PTAT = Primetime Anytime: Records all 4 Broadcast Networks during primetime hours on one tuner in the new Hopper system (as long as Dish offers your HD locals)
 
How does E* stand for DISH Network??

It doesn't anymore, as Echostar is a separate company and is no way part of Dishnetwork. DISH is the proper name now since they dropped the network part of their name. In the early days they used E* to define Dishnetwork since they owned them, and they used D* to define Directv. I have used DISH for Dishnetwork for years now and have always hated acronyms for either sat company.
