    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Tech was here at 2:30. Took eastern arc dish down, replaced with a 500 and a temporary 500 to see if it would work. Same thing - still couldn't get 3 locals. This time it would go from 61.5 to 72.7. Did not make any sense! Then he took the one 500 off that was pointed at 72.7. He replaced...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I'm not sure which satellites or if this is going to fix the problem. If not I will go back to 1 500 & 1000.4 and not have the 3 channels. I will let you know what happens Thur.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Sounds like my story. Last week tech put up a 1000.4 Eastern Arc. Lost 3 locals. Now he's coming back on Thur. To replace 1000.4 back to a 500 and add a 500. That will be 3 500s for me if it works!!

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Yes I do have a wing dish at 119. And you are right, it does not make sense and the tech says so too. Like I said before, 22, 16, 28 and 56 come in - when I go to 44, 38, and 53 it wants to go to satellite 61.5.

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Service tech was here yesterday. Put up on eastern arc. Got all the new HD channels but lost 3 locals. Locals come off of 119 - cannot get locals in HD because I am out of the spot beam. Still have NBC, CBS, ABC & FOX - lost CW, PBS and another local. Every time I switched to one of the...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Today I spoke with someone from the executive office. Explained what happened (above). Now he says they will put me on the western arc. Must keep my wing dish for 61.5. The reason to keep this dish is because I live out of the spot beam for my HD locals and if they ever fix the problem I will...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I live in central PA. Made arrangements on Thursday to have new dish put up Sunday. Just got a call from the tech to say he would be here soon. I asked if he was putting up a new dish - he said no he only had a service call. No dish in work order, is not aware of the problem. Says the...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Called Dish today - on the phone 45 min. - 4 CSR's later - coming out Sunday to put a new dish up for $15. No committment - free HBO and Showtime for 3 months and did not lose any HD channels because of the workorder.

    My 622 reboots every 80 minutes

    I had one keep rebooting, tech sent out another one. I unplugged the bad one for 24 hours, plugged it back in and it worked fine! When ( replacement) came, sent it back . Bad move, 2 days later :eek: rebooting started back up and would not stop! Had to have another sent out!

    How many times have you had your ViP 622/722 replaced?

    I've had 2 622's for about 3 years now. I've had about 7 replacements between the 2 of them. Rebooting was an issue several times. Phone jacks quit working on 2 of them - so I wouldn't be charged the $5 fee I had them replaced. Yesterday the one started rebooting every 5 minutes again. Called...

    Dish Adds New Local Hd Channels

    My signal is at 5. Did anybody call Dish to see what they say about this low signal and if they are going to do anything about it?

    Dish Adds New Local Hd Channels

    Yeah, I would hope they are going to put more than 1 channel on for now. And is this the reason I get the blue screen telling me not to call - they are working on getting the channel back on as soon as possible?

    sound dropping for a second?

    No, I could not live with that either. Mine's not nearly that bad. My audio drops out a couple times an hour and not on every movie. Sometimes I can go hours without a dropout and sometimes it is more often. But nothing like yours!

    sound dropping for a second?

    You can add me to the list too. I've been experiencing audio dropout for as long as I've had HD - approximately 3 years. I've used HDMI cable and Optical cable - does not matter. Had AV receiver replaced and numerous DISH receivers replaced for problems and I'm still having the same audio...

    1080 Bc

    Two weeks ago I tried the 1080P test and failed several times. The other day I disconnected from AV receiver and went straight into my 1080P projector. It took about 5 times to finally pass the test. When I finally got "10,000 BC" , the video would drop in and out constantly - but not the audio...
