Good points. I was thinking in terms of viewers, not accounts. And though 70% of the town has a Dish on the roof or the front trailer hitch odds are half those are D*.

I don't know where this comes from. In the town I just moved from there were around 4,000 or so people. None were eligible for LIL with Dish or Direct. It wouldn't take very many small towns to add up to 900,000. We had 1 station 75 miles away (on the other side of a fairly big mountain) and...

I see what you're saying, but I had to get waivers for living in bumf city ;) I wonder if the rep meant she was giving me the superstations when I was refering to regular waived networks. The Dish guy was at the house installing when I left for work. He was planning on hanging 2 dishes and...

I just moved to Reno (actually moved) and called Dish up. I told them I wanted to cancel since Charter was offering a better deal. I have no idea what Charter is offering, it was pure bluff on my part. Tomorrow they'll be out to install a dish, 622, and 2 508s. It got really weird when it...

Have you tried the page up/page down buttons on your remote? They cycle through 5 different screen settings and should give you one that fits.

I would think Logitech's customer support would have a way to teach the remote to run the 811. It's been a while since I looked at the Harmonys but I seem to recall their CS being godlike in their ability to make the Harmony work with just about anything. If all else fails you can try to train...

I think I could give Freud nightmares :eek: I finally got 61.5 by running the cable direct to the receiver. Did a check switch and it recognized the satellite. Hooked everything back up and did another check switch, everything is working great. I'm not seeing CBS-HD in the guide (this was a...

I'm at a loss here. I think I have everything set up correctly but no luck getting 61.5. I have a Dish500 with a legacy quad feeding 4 receivers. I added an old Dish 300 with a legacy lnb (one eye, 2 coax.....can't recall offhand if it's called a twin or dual). I ran one line from the dish 300...

I've got my 508 feeding my pc capture card and my TV so you can definitely use both sets of outputs simultaneously.

That solved the problem. Thanks for the tip.

Never even noticed it. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.

Ironically if you spray some Off (the mosquito repellant) on permanent marker it washes the marker right off. Easy enough to see why mosquitos don't like it. Also makes me keep my distance :)

I have the 811 hooked to a Panasonic 60" LCD projection TV. The picture from the 811 overflows my TV screen on the sides and I can't find any way to adjust it. The problem only occurs on the HD channels. I've tried the DVI and component outputs and the problem exists with both. I even tried...

Thanks for spelling that out for me. I do qualify for the a la carte stuff, and get everything but ABC. ABC refuses to sign the waiver despite the fact that I can't get their signal. I don't qualify for the local network package since the closest DMA is that same 220 miles :) It seems ironic to...

Is there a map of the white areas in question? Really looking forward to getting digital locals since our nearest broadcaster is 220 miles away but some posts in the forum have me wondering if we'll qualify or if we'll have to wait for more legislation.

I've had the Panasonic 60LC13 for about 3 months or so. I'm using 2 dish boxes on it currently, an 811 for HD and a 501 for PVR and PiP. I don't really watch much regular TV, we mainly do movies and football. I've been mostly pleased with the HD content from Dish but HD doesn't always mean HD...

The boxes are simply the same kind of box your electrical outlets and light switches are in, only they're designed to be used on existing walls. Instead of being nailed to a stud when the home is being built they have a couple of screw clips that allow them to be secured to the wall. I just used...

So if I cross the streams it would be bad? :) Gonna pick up a dual LNB and give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.

My existing dish 500 has a quad (4 outputs that previously went straight to the receivers). If I hook up only the quad everything works fine. Check switch shows the SW 64 and all receivers appear to be functioning properly. It's only after I add in the old DTV LNB that everything goes bad. Which...

I'm looking to get the CBS HD channel (already have the waiver). I picked up a SW64 reasonably cheap on ebay. I have a dish 500 that's set up on 110 and 119 going to 4 receivers. I also have my old DirecTV dish still on the roof which I'm going to use to pick up the 148 satellite. I had hoped...
