same deal. own my equipment. fox local has been off air for a year but still pay full locals. hopper, joey, dvr fees are really the crazy part. Pretty much only watch about 5 channels anymore. really should just cancel and go streaming. I almost never watch live tv anymore so i really...

this will save me from buying another joey that I was about to do today. Infrequently used TV with no surround. Fire Stick here i come.

All my seek and record timers for sports teams suddenly stopped working this week. They worked fine since I got my hopper with sling (currently on build s542 nebd) a couple years ago. They are set-up as BRUINS AT and AT BRUINS for example. If I do a search for BRUINS I get no results. If I...

Thanks. Found a dpp44 on eBay for $25 so it cost me an extra 25 which is no big deal when we're talking almost $500. If you own your equipment dish will activate it with out a tech, even hopper

I assume if i were to give up on the SJ that the solo node can't be fed by the two dishes correct and still needs a new switch? I prefer to own my equipment as installation address isn't the same as service address.

Currently have a OWNED 622 fed with a DP34 from 2 dish 500's (61.5 and 72) using the SD modulation for the rest of the house. Kids are finally grown to the point i need more tuners and full HD. Without putting up a new dish / LNB can i run the 2 leads from the dishes to the DP34 (same as...

That didn't work for me on my move. My account shoed the correct service address but it wasn't goingt o my reciever. Asking them to rehit didn't work either (with a checkswitch). Told them all this and eventually the thrid rep made it work.

just keep chatting. Ask them to re-hit the reciever again. Tell them it didn't take the first two times. I had to chat 4 times before my move made it's way to my reciever this week. My service address was changed during the first chat but it didn't hit the reciever. Second chat he said he...

My bangor locals are no longer working today. I'm assuming it's due to the migration of bangor locals from conus to TID1132 (per the uplink report) even though that was several days ago supposedly. Getting the "This channel is not available outside the designated viewing area" message. I...

oh how i wish that were the case. maybe my 2006 home is not the norm but i have home runs of rg6 and telephone but not cat 5. must be my electrician was an old guy. At least i got RG6 instead of RG59. I have always wondered why the modulation was never used as a distribution method over HD...

Seeing how OTA come in on RG6 i know the HD signal can be carried and decoded. Why can dish use the same strategy they used for whole house on the VIP's but send it out as a HD OTA (like) signal instead. It would still meet a lot of peoples needs and would be able to leverage the RG6 wired...

Successfully pointed my 110/119 dish at 72.7. Didn't bother trying to get both 61 & 72 on one dish cause I have the two dishes already and was a little freaked out on my 12-12 pitch roof. The worst part was I got 61.5 the first time around and the check switch took forever

Any idea whee I can find pointing angles for a 500 to 72. Can I get both 72 & 77 on the one dish with dual lnb?

72.7 with a dish 500? So I have a mixed arc setup and have been procrastinating on switching to ea because I own my system and am a mover. Needles to say I'm not having dish come to my house. Seems dish has forced my hand finally. For now can I repoint my 110/119 dish 500 at 72.7 since I...

My owned 622 haas performed flawlessly since 2006 when I bought it from the dish store.
