    Anyone has seen this on a 942?

    I had this exact same video problem during the pregame for the Steelers-Broncos. I was watching OTA but when I changed channels, the effect still remained. Cleared with a front panel soft boot. This particular 942 is connected via HDMI. My other 942 worked properly during the same time...

    Anybody have a pocketdish?

    I have the AV700e and for the most part I do like it. I just used it on a business trip last week and I got a number of questions about it. It is very well built and the travel charger is fairly compact. I was wondering what you other owners thought about the screen resolution.

    Dish 942 L280 Software Bug Reports

    Audio problems during DD5.1 playback Both 942s have L280. During playback of recording with DD5.1 audio, it would drop out. I turned the unit off and on and sometimes the audio came back but would again drop out if I hit the skip forward button. Eventually got to the point where audio...

    HD signal test / tester for network HD??

    Antenna Web Go to www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code. It will list the stations you should be able to receive and their frequency assignments. You can also view a map that will tell you the directions of each transmitting antenna. sorry.....KRIS is an NBC station.

    HD signal test / tester for network HD??

    I wonder why Houston would be considered your local since from your description, I am guessing you are somewhere in Goliad county. (I grew up in the area) What model of HD antenna do you have? Is in on the mast? It doesn't look from my searches that any station (including ABC) in...

    HD signal test / tester for network HD??

    San Antonio? Is KSAT in SA an option? I am sure someone can come up with a better answer but I would expect they would have an antenna on the truck. When I first got my Squareshooter, I knew of no one in my neighborhood who received the Houston DTV channels via OTA. I looked it up on...

    GAME MIX CHANNELS (701 AND 702) DISAPPEAR from GUIDE

    I experimented with both channels yesterday, mostly before the 2nd Fox game - Chargers/Cowboys. I generally liked the concept and I can see this can be very usefull as the season progresses. I noticed this morning that that both channels were gone from the guide but I guess that is normal...

    Channel Guide on Voom Channels

    I've spoken to E* support and as said above, they are aware of the problem. It was explained to me that they were hoping to fix it shortly, perhaps in the next few days. Apparently this problem got worse after the L229 early this month. I was told though the EPG is updated (if you have it...
