    TV5 Monde is now available in HD!

    I am flabbergasted! This is my favorite channel, and I had resigned myself to watching it in SD forever. Now, here it is in beautiful HD on channel 9666 (the old SD channel was 9857).. For those who have never watched TV5, it is a 24-hour French language station that consolidates material...

    ISIS attack shut down TV5 Monde this morning.

    I was watching TV5 Monde last night when it suddenly went black, around midnight; and all I got afterwards was a message that DISH was working on the problem and there was nothing to worry about. This morning I found this on the news...

    Problem with timer on 622 -- has anyone seen this?

    Last week I set my 622 timer to record a program on TV5 (channel 731, satellite 118.7). It appears in 'My Recordings' correctly when I press 'Info' but when I go to watch it I get another program on a different satellite (MGM, channel 385, satellite 129). Same times as the program I wanted...

    Very odd behavior - 622 or DISH?

    I am mystified by the problems I am having. I would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. Each problem happened once, and all happened in the last 3 weeks. I have had the 622 for over 2 years with no problems that I can recall until now. 1) I was watching a movie on my...

    Eurochannel is free until June 4th

    Eurochannel's web page states that it has been running a free promotion, which will end on June 4th. I already subscribe, so I can't test this. Apparently it has been going on for several days, but nobody knew about it. It's on channel 752, which I believe is only available to those of us...

    Another missing channel -- where's TV5Monde?

    As recently as Saturday, I could watch TV5Monde on channel 9751 (61.5 satellite). Now it's gone! The latest DISH Channel Chart shows TV5 on channels 9751 and 606, on the 61.5 satellite (I receive this satellite, but TV5 is now missing), channel 606 again on the 148 satellite (not one that...

    Dish doesn't do metal roofs?

    I had ordered an upgrade to my service today (replacing a DISH 500 with a DISH 1000) so I could get Eurovision on 118.7. I was deeply disappointed when the installer refused to do it because I have a metal roof, and he says DISH doesn't allow work on metal roofs. What really upset me, though, is...

    61.5 vs. 129 -- very urgent question!!!

    This is urgent -- the Dish installer will be here in two hours (12 noon PDT). I currently get three satellites (61.5, 119, and 110) on two dishes, feeding into a single 622. The installer is adding equipment so I can get 118.7 as well (the Eurovision channel). He phoned just now to tell me...
