    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Tech was here at 2:30. Took eastern arc dish down, replaced with a 500 and a temporary 500 to see if it would work. Same thing - still couldn't get 3 locals. This time it would go from 61.5 to 72.7. Did not make any sense! Then he took the one 500 off that was pointed at 72.7. He replaced...

    I'm not sure which satellites or if this is going to fix the problem. If not I will go back to 1 500 & 1000.4 and not have the 3 channels. I will let you know what happens Thur.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Sounds like my story. Last week tech put up a 1000.4 Eastern Arc. Lost 3 locals. Now he's coming back on Thur. To replace 1000.4 back to a 500 and add a 500. That will be 3 500s for me if it works!!

    Yes I do have a wing dish at 119. And you are right, it does not make sense and the tech says so too. Like I said before, 22, 16, 28 and 56 come in - when I go to 44, 38, and 53 it wants to go to satellite 61.5.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Today I spoke with someone from the executive office. Explained what happened (above). Now he says they will put me on the western arc. Must keep my wing dish for 61.5. The reason to keep this dish is because I live out of the spot beam for my HD locals and if they ever fix the problem I will...

    I live in central PA. Made arrangements on Thursday to have new dish put up Sunday. Just got a call from the tech to say he would be here soon. I asked if he was putting up a new dish - he said no he only had a service call. No dish in work order, is not aware of the problem. Says the...

    My 622 reboots every 80 minutes

    I had one keep rebooting, tech sent out another one. I unplugged the bad one for 24 hours, plugged it back in and it worked fine! When ( replacement) came, sent it back . Bad move, 2 days later :eek: rebooting started back up and would not stop! Had to have another sent out!
