    So what's going on with CNN?

    I'm just being told I have no signal and acting like it's obstructed. No weather, clear skies. Satellite 119.

    Transferring Remote Control Settings 40.0

    Exactly, thanks for clarifying it's not possible. I guess I'll be looking up codes and seeing what's close enough again.

    Transferring Remote Control Settings 40.0

    I swear I saw a technician once transfer settings for a remote control from one remote into another but am failing at searching. Anyone ever do this? I have 40.0 remotes and really don't want to mess around finding my home theater remote code. Thanks in advance, ~Dave

    Dish faces 16 station blackout, as News-Press & Gazette Broadcasting talks stall

    Believe it or not, some of these stations are not currently being rebroadcast in HD! http://www.bendbulletin.com/newsroomstafflist/4012664-151/bend-tv-stations-dish-in-dispute

    Temp housing and moving

    It appears plans have changed so it might only be a two week outage so I might be able to convince my wife to stream whatever we miss - usually if we leave something to streaming that means it never ends up being watched as there's more than enough content on our Hopper to begin with. I'll take...

    Temp housing and moving

    I'm in a situation where I want to be sure I don't miss episodes of shows. I'm moving cities but won't be able to close on a house until approximately a month after moving. In the meantime I'll be staying at temp housing in a condo complex that includes cable but am unsure on their satellite...

    Trying to control a soundbar and TV with DISH remote

    Thank you for this! This was my biggest annoyance with a 722k, that I had to press Aux just to control my Home Theater volume when the TV volume is not used at all. I asked the installer that upgraded me to Hopper if it was possible to program the Home Theater to the volume buttons and was...

    Dish, you must follow suit, Auto Extend

    As a non-sports person I'd prefer the option of auto-extend on any program considering A) a few years ago NBC would purposely shift their programming by three minutes so DVRs would miss the last fun bits on shows like Community. B) AMC and FX occasionally extend their shows an extra 10 minutes...

    Free Previews

    They're trying to give you a good reason to take back up those Spanish lessons! Learn a foreign language, your brain will thank you! Seriously though, if you don't already have DIY it's a great channel for anyone looking for tips on home improvement and I'd highly recommend it. And as might...

    EHD Archive Problem

    So the fact that I originally formatted it to a 211k means that the 722k reformat doesn't stick? Just to clarify these are the steps I took: Formatted as EHD for 211k. Worked fine for years Disconnected from 211k, moved the 722k, reformatted when prompted Archived shows from 722k to EHD Next...

    EHD Archive Problem

    I don't remember what it showed after reformatting. I just know when I went to archive it started doing it and told me 5 hours to go (something like 40 episodes/movies) and I let it keep going. I haven't power cycled, but I did turn the receiver off and on again, as well as the EHD. I also...

    EHD Archive Problem

    It was empty and I reformatted it when I connected it to the 722k. Then I archived shows from the 722k.

    EHD Archive Problem

    I've got a bad feeling I just lost all of my recordings. I had a EHD hooked up to a 211k and it worked great. Moved it to my 711k last night, told it to archive everything, went to bed. This morning all shows are deleted off of the 711k and when I try to access the EHD I am told it needs to...

    What's Up with DIRT These Days?

    That's why they're DIRT and not DSGRT! And I'm definitely happy they are checking in over here as well. As far as a shared service goes that would obviously be nice if supported by the underlying software, but from what I've seen it appears there's just no one scheduled for mid-afternoon PST...

    What's Up with DIRT These Days?

    The schedules definitely are not geared towards afternoon PST people. I appear to catch them online, send a message, and they go offshift and then my question is delayed until the next day. And they are responsive and great when online but that is definitely a little frustrating. But on the...
