    Aquring signal 535 satellites possible down?

    Yeah something was down for just about half an hour, eastern arc, I lost the first period of the hockey game I was trying to watch, seems to be back now. I'm just glad it isn't something wrong with my dish, we have so much snow and ice here I thought maybe it got knocked out of alignment or...

    NHL Center Ice

    Don't I know it ;) I just wish she liked my team, we wouldn't have to deal with Center Ice at all.

    NHL Center Ice

    It is strange to me, it seems something like Dish forgot to turn the broadcast on. But none of the CSRs have any idea what I'm talking about, and I have no idea who to complain to who could actually get anything done. I think it actually would be the Sportsnet broadcast, that shows up for many...

    NHL Center Ice

    This isn't the first time this has happened. We subscribe to NHL Center Ice so my wife can watch her Toronto Maple Leafs games. Tonight there is a game on channel 574 that started at 7pm. It is now 7:50 and the channel is still showing the blank slate that shows when there isn't anything on...

    Double post, sorry.

    DISH and Sinclair extend contract talks (Update 8/25 Stations Removed)

    I'm in the area as well and it's getting ridiculous, 3 of the 5 locals are currently gone and you're saying it could be 4 before it's all over?

    NHL Center Ice issues?

    All Canadian feeds are pretty much exclusively SD on Center Ice. Usually the broadcast starts at the top of the hour, but the way this kicked on seconds before puck drop was weird, didn't say it would be JIP or anything. EDIT: typo

    NHL Center Ice issues?

    Aaaand now it's on, right before puck drop. Not sure why it did that. Whatever, no problems now.

    NHL Center Ice issues?

    Ok so this time I know something is up. Game is showing up on the guide, channel 584, Maple Leafs at Sabres, game finder also saying it is on 584, but tuning in I get the Dish Season ticket slate and elevator music. Game was supposed to start 15 minutes ago. Any ideas?

    NHL Center Ice issues?

    Hmm, you are right. Seems she could have been watching the game all along. I may be in trouble now. I did have some sort of issue earlier though, no games were showing up for any other day this week either, but checking now they are. Maybe the hit I was sent cleared that up. Though I wish...

    NHL Center Ice issues?

    Is anyone having issues with Center Ice? I subscribe so my wife can watch her Maple Leafs, and when we tried to tune in to the game, all of the Center Ice related channels are showing the blank Dish slate that shows when a channel isn't broadcasting, and no games are showing up in the guide...

    NHL Network needs to learn what it's like to be a viewer

    I hate the score crawlers in general. If I have two games on at the same time I want to watch, I tend to record one and watch the other, then watch the second one when I am finished. Now that the stupid crawlers have been added to every sports station, the second game is frequently ruined when...

    Sling adaptor not working.

    Just to chime in, these Sling adapters are incredibly fragile electrically. I think I have had something like 5 replacements for mine, Dish even sent me a new receiver in case it was causing them to fail, but they have failed on the new receiver as well. Your symptoms tell me this is the...

    Wrong game on Center Ice

    Yeah I am in Michigan as well and it wasn't blacked out, which makes me think it was a mistake. But Dish support was absolutely no help, and it sucks that she didn't get to see the game, since we pay a lot of money so she can.

    Wrong game on Center Ice

    Can someone who subscribes to NHL Center Ice check the game that is being shown on channel 887 right now? It should be the Jets/Maple Leafs game but it is instead showing Detroit/Montreal for me. Dish support is telling me it is my receiver, but I can't reset or I will lose my game that is...

    NHL Center Ice games not on and others not in HD

    Ah, I misunderstood you, curse those early morning thread reads. You are saying that they are produced in HD. That I know. Ok, yeah, we are talking about the same thing.

    NHL Center Ice games not on and others not in HD

    I don't think this is true. I believe yesterday's Leafs game was on Sportsnet, and she had to watch it in SD. And then check out this screenshot from my slingbox for tonight's game: (Hmm, I can't upload a picture for some reason? I hope it is ok to put a link to it.)...

    NHL Center Ice games not on and others not in HD

    I live in the Red Wings coverage area and I'm a Wings fan, but my wife is from Ontario and is still a Maple Leafs fan, so we subscribe to center ice for her. And I share everyone's frustration at this. While we have always been able to watch her games in one way or another, the vast majority...

    Dish Technical Support Called? Is This For Real?

    I got the same call yesterday, I have heard of them doing that before so I wasn't totally suprised. It has been rainy this week and I have had some signal fades, that is probably why they did it, though the signal issues haven't been that bad. I told them everything was OK. I am capable of...

    Sling Adapter Reliability

    Since they sent my second replacement, it has been working great. I am interested though to know if it actually is a software issue as they claim, maybe only with certain sling adapter versions or something? Doesn't seem right to make you wait like that though.

    Sling Adapter Reliability

    Well I got the new one yesterday and hooked it up. It's working at the moment, and I will continue to monitor it, hopefully this one keeps working.

    Thanks. Sometimes it's tough to remember which sat is where.

    Sling Adapter

    I have a similar thread going in the main forum. Apparently it is possible to get two bad ones in a row, because I did too. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/293648-Sling-Adapter-Reliability On a side note, I had the same thing with my first bad one dnszyk77, it started smoking when plugged...

    Sling Adapter Reliability

    So after getting the replacement receiver set up, the problem with the sling adapter still persists. So I guess it was the adapter all along. It is still detected in the computer, but it won't even get detected anymore. So dish is sending me out another replacement. I hope this one actually...

    Quetzsat 1 Moving to 61.5W

    So I take it that this sat is already on the move, and that is why when I got my new receiver, hooked it up, and ran a switch check, that 77 isn't detected anymore? I realize it isn't used for anything in my area, but just want to make sure that I don't have something wrong with my dish.
