crod, Good idea. Hadn't thought of that. Give it a try, especially over the winter months. Joe

Thanks to all who responded. All good suggestions. Didn't think a simple request would create such a furor though. Flex Pack + Locals. Saves me about $120 a month. Regarding the Full Time RVing post, wish I could but cannot for medical reasons. But, my second receiver is in my motor home...

Recently retired. Dish bill is $174.78/month. Way too much now. Now getting Americas Everything, Locals, Multi-Sport, and 1 extra receiver. Would like to keep Locals and the extra receiver. Appreciate any suggestions you might have to get the most bang for my Social Security buck. Joe

Brian, Great suggestion. They are sending one out to me. Thanks, Joe

Looking to resurrect my Micro HD receiver to use with a composite video tv. Need the A/V output cable that I thought I had. (Maybe not. Always used with hdmi) A camcorder cable will not work because the 3.5mm plug is too short. The last ring, the ground, is longer. Where can I get one? Google...

I want to win. Spring Break, College years, Ft. Lauderdale, "Where the Boys Are", the Elbow Room. What Memories.

OK. How do we do it? Joe

I checked only one item on the list to backup. A3 went immediately back to the previous Backup/Restore screen, same as before. Tried with another backup file. Ditto. Tried another backup file. Same result. Also tried checking several items on the list. This is what started the whole mess to...

Thanks. I'll hook it back up and give it a try when I get a few minutes. I've backed up in the past but never had this problem. Joe

Tried several dates of backup files going back to the original backup. Tried files stored on the HD as well...

"I Want to Win a Free DVBS2 Receiver"

I am purchasing a motorhome that has a Winegard "Roadtrip" mobile satellite antenna. I have two VIP211 receivers at home. Thought I would use one of them on the RV. Other than hooking up the receiver, is there anything that I need to do regarding my account? Let Dish know? And/Or? Or?. How...

Firmware is 2.0.61 dtd 10/20/14 Locked up tonight 20% into a Ku Blindscan. Power recycle fixed it. Then ran 100% Blindscan.

Turned on A3 tonight, locked up on BOOT. Power cycled and restarted OK. I do backups to HDD and to flash drive any day I make a change of some sort, no matter how small. Joe

Turned on A3 last night. Got video but no audio on channel that I had left it on the previous evening. Changed channel, same sat. No video or audio. Changed to several other channels. Same result. Went back to original channel. Nothing. Pushing RCU buttons at random looking for some life. At...
