VIP211k Complete signal loss message bug after playing DVR and recording SAT This bug has occurred since the receiver upgrade earlier this year that changed several features of various DISH receivers. At that time, the complete signal loss message was changed from it's previous format. I have...

Has anyone read the fine print? "By accepting this offer, you agree to all terms of the offer which are subject to change at any time without prior notice." It is sometimes difficult to detect sarcasm in print.

Is there any truth to the rumor that one year from now, there will be a $156.00 cancellation fee for Starz?

Milwaukee I found "the list" SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - Subscription List Milwaukee HD locals are on 61.5, so two saucers are needed.

Which satellite has locals in HD? A friend just had an HD receiver installed on the Western arc (110/119/129). All three satellites are being received. He doesn't get locals in HD. The installer told him that he would need another dish pointed East. So I assume that HD locals are only...

Marrying one of the CSRs might work. ;)

I've seen the message on HD PPV channels. For example. On channel 503 HD "Cop Out", if you click the guide for that movie, the purchase info states "Limited recording".

The OP stated that he has a 211k. I believe the EHD size limit for that model is 1 TB.

The latest WD Elements USB EHD 1 TB model is # WDBAAU0010HBK-NESN. UPC 7 18037 75182 5. Generally around 80 Washingtons. It works great on the 211k. Couldn't be happier. After loading the extended guide and other Dish data onto the HD, I ended up with a reported available time of 98 hr. 7 min...

Swapping EHD on ViP 211/211k Thanks Matt. To any person with experience using more than one EHD on a 211k. What is the procedure to properly set up and swap to another EHD? After the initial EHD formatting, does the receiver know that the EHD fee has previously been paid, and skip that...

"Limited recording" message on PPV channels. What exactly is limited? How many times it can be viewed, or it expires?

How do you manually change to the folder option? I looked through the menus, and don't find anything other than grouping and list order.

1. Your statement may be somewhat misleading. The 211/211k actually has two tuners, that many people use. One satellite and one OTA, so technically you can record one show and watch another. 2. For most practical purposes, the 211/211k "skip back" goes back 10 seconds. Dish info is the...

Not knowing the receiver model; With a single room receiver, you would need to use the TV out coaxial connection on the back of the receiver and then tune the PC to channel 3 or 4 analog. Two room receivers would also work, but require a channel number on the PC tuner that matches the RF out...

It's stupid because DISH is missing out on revenue that would otherwise be gravy. I use OTA through a 211k. I don't pay the $4.99 for locals through the dish. I then don't get the convenience of the locals in the guide. Manual timers don't take much longer to set vs. using the guide. Editing...
