I wonder where all the Dish Network folks are?

Thanks, I wish that was an option for me, but on Hughesnet Satellite, it's not practical.

Yes, I know.

I wonder if Dish will ever get MAV TV back on their lineup? I would hate to have to move to Direct TV just for this one channel, but I may do just that. It seems like no one cares about motorsports on TV any more.

I do pretty much have the same symptoms as DishSubLA is having.

OK, I did some more checking and the volume does always work normally so it must be isolated to the Dish Receiver and also the DVR functions? Of course, the lag problem hasn't re-occurred in a couple of days now. I do have 2 new Dish replacement remotes and I get the same response from them...

Yes, a hard reset does usually help. Yes, a HDD is hooked up. This seems to happen to both of my VIP 211 receivers.

Here lately some days when I press a remote button to change channel, turn up volume, turn on the guide, turn off the receiver, etc. Nothing happens for maybe10 to 30 seconds. Sometimes it may even be a minute or 2. Checked remote, installed new batteries. Receiver is a VIP211. Other times...

No one mentioned the word "free", only that they would help me get one.

I went ahead and ordered one from the Dish website. I don't figure anyone from Dish is giving anything away so $20 isn't too bad for a replacement.

Not sure what I will do. I'm still pissed off about Dish removing MAVTV.

Receiver is a VIP211 silver in color.

Where can I find a replacement Dish Remote #142301? Mine has a few dead buttons.

Getting close to making the dish repairs but the scaler ring is damaged. Anyone know where I can get a flat scaler ring for a BSC 621 ? Or should I just get another LNB and feed horn.?

Oh, I'm not spending any money. Just a little spare time.
