I trust you realize that the costs of printing and mailing paper bills are merely part of the "cost of business" that is passed on to all of us...? You can still pay manually on-line on the date you choose. Unless your real motive is to support the USPS then I suggest you switch to electronic...

I got an e-mailed past due notice yesterday, on the evening of the day my payment was due. No $hit Einstein, I'd been trying to pay online (like I always do, several days ahead of the due date) for a couple of days with the usual site reporting that is was OOS. In that past due notice there...

My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Dish removed ATTSN, my RSN (channel 428), from my line-up in central PA. This channel carried Penguins and Pirates games amongst other content. I read there was a dispute and the channel was removed...

I phrase situations like this...and "free 2-day shipping" with Prime...as "at no additional cost". This thread prompted me to chat Dish to get a new remote for my "new" (refurb) 211K. Same result..."free", UPS 2-3 days, and no need to return the old one. I realize DHPP is largely a...

Correct...the K variant is not obsolete...and I realize my 211 can't be reactivated...maybe somebody wants it for parts or something beyond my comprehension...

I had to get a replacement for my 211. Dish sent me a 211K. Since the old receiver is larger it won't fit the 211K box for return so that prompted me to call TS. I was told that the 211 is obsolete and they don't want it back. That would also explain why the box did not have a 2-way label...

Yep...watched some of the "D-Day to Victory" series over the weekend even though I'd seen most of it before in SD...was like a totally new experience...!

I self-installed a Dish basic package in Dec. '97. IIRC, I paid $299 for the kit that included 1 receiver, and the service was ~$25/mo. But what a change after 17 years of watching 2 weak OTA channels and struggling with the antenna to get anything else intermittently. What a lifestyle change...

Thanks all. Any specific model recommendations? Sent from my LG-E980 using the SatelliteGuys app!

Hi folks. I found a couple of old threads on this topic, nothing recent. The 1TB EHD I have attached to my ViP 211 tanked. Lasted 6+ years so I'm not complaining. It was a very basic WD My Book Essential, not designed for this application. What's the current max. size (I think I heard 2...

Being a Luddite curmudgeon (meaning only that I'm lower on the curve than most of you and slower/more reluctant to adapt), I actually DID discover something...how to use my SXM app. on my phone Bluetoothed to my "Ecorox" to serve as a rather acceptable alternative source for FNC...was more than...

Is that the same as "Soon" in other Dishspeak? Good news for me...but I'm guessing I was too late with my credit request...

Logged on, provided account information, mentioned I'm a regular FNS and FBN viewer, said I supported Dish's position...then flat-out asked for my $50 credit that others were receiving. We'll see what happens. I do regularly tune into certain FNS shows...fortunately I can continue the...

Wow! Before I was converted to EA just last weekend I was dependent on 110, 119, and 129 for years. 110 and 119 were reliable with 110 mostly in the 50s and 119 a bit less. But due to its low elevation (20 deg. for me) I was lucky much of the time to get something in the low to mid teens from...

Replaced. Dish sent it to me perhaps too soon. As mentioned above, it was during the activation that it became clear that I needed help with the reception. We'll never know whether the Warning 981 situation would have cleared on its own, but with all the unsuccessful reboots (on my own and at...

Wow!!! Well, that 'splains it Josephine! What timing. I JUST yesterday had my 622 replaced and my system converted to EA. Worked great last evening on ALL channels, something I've never really experienced since being introduced to 129 and its LoS issues. (Only 20 deg. elevation in these...

BTW, props to Dish for the incredibly fast service! I called yesterday AM to talk to Tech. Service about the overall situation. The rep figured we wouldn't know anything without an operating 622, so that was the first step; I had to install the replacement. In the activation process it became...

EA was the answer! Dish activated the replacement 622 and sent a crew out on Sunday to solve the problem. No idea what was wrong with 119, but at this point it's moot, might have been a problem with the DPP44. I now have full service on 61.5 and 72.7. Turns out this was inevitable...my DMA...

I'll climb up this weekend to take a look at it. Could be just an alignment issue like I had with 129. I do have a cheap signal meter to assist. A check of cables and connectors might follow. If that doesn't fix it I'll call for a tech. This is one of those times I'm glad I have the...

Yep. I pretty well knew about the loss of 119 since mid summer when I started losing 129 HD channels as well and then also couldn't get their alternate SD channels that are often on 119. I resolved the 129 problem myself. With HD restored I wasn't in a hurry to fix 119...guess that's now a...

Tks TheKrell. Actually that's beginning to make sense. I might only be seeing 44 hours or less on my 211 (but possibly spanning 3 calendar days). I'll have to look closer. Something I didn't mention...on the 622 prior to its apparent demise I was seeing a limited PG. I rarely look out...

Tks Chad. Guess I was remembering it wrong...happens a lot anymore...! Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Well unfortunately the separator cable swap had no effect . I unplugged the 622, made the change, and powered up. The 981 message quickly appeared again and was still there this AM. The replacement receiver arrived yesterday...I'll install it this evening and hope for the best. Incidentally...

Easy enough...I'll give it a try this evening... Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Yes, bootstrap issues. When I first saw this screen last Saturday the receiver had been idle at least 12 hours. I left it alone for another 6 hours but it didn't clear. So I unplugged it for the requisite 10 seconds but on restart it immediately went to that screen again. Same following an...
