    PTAT turned on with only SD locals!

    Well that explains it. The sad part is that competing providers DirecTV and Time Warner both have the locals in HD.

    PTAT turned on with only SD locals!

    We have a 1H3J setup at work with locals in SD only. When the system was first installed I enabled PTAT. When it never recorded anything I did some research and found that it only works when the local channels are in HD. I figured "Oh well" and never bothered turning it back off. So last...

    After updating the service address when/how will I get the updated locals? Do I need to power down the Hopper unit for a certain amount of time? How long will it take?

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    Again, they have not allowed any Blockbuster employees to get "employee" accounts at all. Like I said, we've been waiting since August when we were told "Details are coming soon." There are a few employees who already have Dish and they're wondering if they can also have the discount...

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    More realistic numbers are 1,700 stores with an average of 7 employees. That's 11,900 employee subscribers. Stores are initially expected to get a minimum of 1 Dish signup per week per store. So that's 11900 initial employee "subscriptions" and perhaps 500-1000 extra subscriptions per week...

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    So what about: Are equipment costs also discounted or waived? What type of receivers are allowed? Is a contract required? Is installation free?

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    I am a Blockbuster store employee. We all now have Dish ID numbers. We've been asking about this program for months. Our (your) HR department just keeps telling us details will be coming "soon." This was in August of last year. We're expected to start selling Dish packages in store within...

    Dish/Echostar Employee Discount Program?

    I've heard "Free to Discounted Programming" is available for Dish/Echostar employees but that's pretty vague. So what discounts do Dish employees receive? How does the discount program work? Which channel packages are available? Are equipment costs also discounted or waived? How many and...

    DirecTV D12 Receiver on existing HughesNet dish?

    What I'm trying to do is hook the D12 from my basement to the dish at work. I don't think SWM even existed back when my workplace had DirecTV so I am unsure of the compatibility. Please forgive my ignorance and thank you for your help thus far.

    DirecTV D12 Receiver on existing HughesNet dish?

    It's actually almost rectangular with the short edges rounded. It's over 3 feet tall.

    DirecTV D12 Receiver on existing HughesNet dish?

    The location previously had both data and video back when it was DirecDuo. I'll have to check to see whether there are two coax lines coming down from the roof.

    DirecTV D12 Receiver on existing HughesNet dish?

    Would a D12 receiver pick up DirecTV satellites using an existing in-use HughesNet dish utilizing a -3.5db 2-way splitter?
