    DISH installer does a great job

    I haven't needed an installer to help with my dish since 05 when I had Hurricane Rita come out and crush my sat dish. But I called this week around Wednesday and talked to the tech department about my recent self install of the new 1000.2 E. A. hybrid dish. I got good signals on both...

    Good thing there are two arcs.

    I had an experience this last month that proves to me that DISH was smart to have a two arc options for their company. My parents on my second DISH account in Texas have always been pointed to western arc sats: 110/119/129. So has my Aunt on my third DISH account in Arkansas, since I installed...

    Software S438 broke name based recording timers for Ota.

    Looks like the latest software for first gen hoppers S438 has broken the name based recording on ota . You can create a regular timer but it doesn't show in the schedule or on the guide. The only way I could get a timer to work was to hit manual recording on the shows I wanted. So once again...
