    Klondike Discovery Channel

    I'm trying to enjoy this show but between the Discovery channel logo and the giant stupid countdown timer to the finale I might not finish. The logo is one thing but the timer is just obnoxious. :mad: Between the 2 it takes up 1 sq.ft. :rant:

    Upgrade LONG overdue...

    Not to get off track but I thought you didn't need to have the recievers hooked to a phone line. I have never had mine hooked to one and was never charged for it.

    I understand all I will be using is Dtv's cable as noted in my last post. If you buy and install your own equipement do you get the discount for the first year as a new customer?

    Hooking Dish up in an apartment

    Hey guys thanks for the answers I figured out the composite hook up dilemma, I found a Composite A/V switch for under 20 bucks that i can hook everything into.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I never got an email or anything either. The only reason I even called was because I read this forum post. Just call and act like you want to cancel, and if you qualify they will offer it to you, took me 8 minutes on the phone.

    Ordered mine on the 2nd or 3rd and just recieved it. It is B stock and it is tiny, pretty much the size of a hockey puck. Now to figure it out.

She gave me the rundown and offered me a Roku player and explained how it worked. I asked if there was anything she could do...

    How Do You Get In Touch With Whoever Writes Software For The Receivers?

    I'm glad it works for you, but it don't work for me. I can record off of both if I'm sitting there and do it manually but not if I have timers set.

    How Do You Get In Touch With Whoever Writes Software For The Receivers?

    Also make it so when I have something set to record on a Dish channel and one to record on an OTA channel at the same time that it can actually perform this task without constantly messing up the OTA recording!!:rant:

    211/EHD/Not recording ota and Dish channel

    I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but I searched and didn't find anything recent, I did find a thread with what sounded like the same issue but it was from 2008 so I'm wondering if there are any updates. I just set my 211 up with an EHD and if I have it set to record an ota...

    Newb ?"s about 211 Dvr

    I searched but could'nt find the answer. I just added an EHD to my 211 and in reading Dishes manual on recording shows I came across an area that seems to indicate that I do not need to have the receiver on to have it record shows. Is this true? I am asking because my father has Direct tv and...

    211 can't be a dvr?

    Funny thig is, the guy who told me it could'nt be used as a dvr was the tech department. I told him it says right on the web site it can be used as a dvr and he told me the web site was wrong. I just gave up with him, it took 2 more calls finally the last tech guy fixed me up. I knew I was in...

    211 can't be a dvr?

    I added a EHD to my 211 and called the number to activate the dvr function, after 15 minutes and nothing happening when I pushed the dvr button I called Dish tech support and the guy told me that the 211 does not have that capability.:confused: Any ideas what I should do next?

    compatability of EHD between 211/211k

    I've searched and can't seem to find the answer on wether I can swap an EHD between a 211 and 211k without having problems. Also do I need to have my receivers plugged into phone jacks when I call to have dish activate the dvr functions.

    Stargate SG-1 Discussion

    Stupid Dish box screwed up SG-1. I don't know why but within the last year my 301 will just start floating the Dish logo around the screen and when Tivo changes the channel it sometimes screws it up so it changes to a different channel than what it told the box to change to so it didn't record...
