    Just lost several channels

    Haven't done a thorough check yet but 2 minutes before the last Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, the channel went out. I find that all my other HD locals are out. SD locals seem ok.. Can't remember the last time this happened... bad timing for me. (the we are aware message is...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I've been with Dish since 2000. I never wanted to leave.. but I'm an Illinois native... . if BTN goes away I will be sane and wait a while for a settlement, but if this drags on... now that D* has BBC HD, I would finally be willing to leave. Enough is enough.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    FWIW I just called Dish to voice my opinion that I was tired of disputes and losing BTN after AMC would definitely push me to the dark side. I was told that Dish is guaranteeing BTN will be on for the next 3 weeks if negotiations take that long. Take that with a grain of CSR salt, but that's...

    warning : movers and service address bungle.. doh

    The address doesn't exist. It's like adding imaginary floors to a building (unit 20 in a 10 unit complex, that kind of thing) so he did his best and left it with someone else, who I tried and failed to find. It's their policy to leave it with a neighbor if the address is ambiguous (I asked)...

    warning : movers and service address bungle.. doh

    yep, but I'm kinda on my own here, I don't know anyone who lives in my DMA (to get locals) but is in the other domain for the RSN I want to get. Just unfortunate circumstances. I happen to live in one of those corners where a river 3 miles away changes what sports teams you're allowed to see...

    warning : movers and service address bungle.. doh

    unfortunately I got two CSRs who didn't know that. Bad luck. The package was signed for, I tried to locate the person by knocking on doors, white pages are useless these days, and I was unsuccessful. I feel that since this is basically my fault for not being present at the service address...

    warning : movers and service address bungle.. doh

    Word of warning to movers... Got a free roku offer and rather than hang up, move home, call back, I took my chances and asked for shipment to my billing address. had them confirm the address over the phone. Called back, different rep, confirmed it again was shipping to my billing address...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Thanks for all the info here everyone, given the issues some have had I made a quick call to customer service and my credits and Roku are showing on the account, just not online yet, so I will sit back a few days and wait for things to happen.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Called last night and got $10 off a month for a year, one time $30 credit, and a free roku. After seeing recent posts I'm wondering if it will ship, should it show up in my account info online?

    Dish HD Channel Moves Coming...

    Im set up on 110/119/61.5 and after looking at tp21 on 61.5..and checking the channel chart, I dont see those channels mirrored on 110 or 119, so when they move to 77, will I lose them ? hope I read things wrong... edit - it appears the additions to the new HD transponder on 110 match the...

    South Bend Locals

    its the 12th, still only WNDU... so now having one pathetic HD channel apparently counts as a new HD market. very sad.

    South Bend Locals

    I know they have until midnight before it isn't the 11th anymore but Im beginning to think only the one HD local is going to be up for South Bend after today..... the others aren't up yet and AFAIK aren't even uplinked at present. although WNDU wasnt uplinked when it suddenly appeared a while...

    Uplink Activity Report - 12/4/2008 4:02am - 67 changes

    I can confirm that I can watch WNDU-HD on 5192 and WNDU-SD on 7092. here's hoping the other 3 follow quickly since they were previously uplinked earlier this year.

    Uplink Activity Report - 9/17/2008 1:02pm - 128 changes

    can anyone provide any insight into why HD channels uplinked in markets that have been announced as upcoming in Fall 08 were suddenly removed? does it mean they aren't coming at all....is it a prelude to making available....or does it not definitively mean anything one way or the other ?

    same channel on 2 satellites

    Quick question…. If a given setup could potentially see the same channel on 2 different sats, how does the receiver decide which one to use ? Example specific to me: I do not currently receive Chicago locals. Some Chicago locals are on 2 different spot beams, one on 110 and one on 61.5...

    Charlie Chat Caps and Bytes Sept 8th, 08

    market spin (a.k.a lying) in screen cap the screenie showing the HD local markets has dots for markets that are uplinked but not available and presents them as if they are live for subs.. I reference the dot for South Bend as the example I noticed.

    white spots in picture

    Doesn't seem to follow any pattern, seems quite random. With one particularly large one captured in a still frame, I was sure I could see compression artifacts around the edges... I'll try to get a picture of one. Wouldn't hurt to run new cable, part of the run was already in place in the...

    white spots in picture

    Hello... I keep seeing white spots in the picture; they are embedded in the program as I can see them when I go back and step through by frame. they only exist for one frame and are usually larger than a single pixel of the TV, but still quite small. I've changed HDMI cables; however...

    online chat attempt

    Tonight for kicks I tried dish online chat to ask about HD upgrade options for an existing customer. The good: Was quoted $125 for a 722 with installation and that I need another dish. This is correct as I am pointed at 110 and 119 with a dish 500 and the price agrees with what I have...

    Dishmover - CAUTION!!!!!!!!

    When I did this 1.5 years ago.. my locals were gone from their mapped channel numbers, but still accessible on their actual, 4 digit, channel numbers. Weird thing was Dish support didn't suggest looking there for them, so the person either didn't know, or that isn't standard. at any rate, I...

    Comcast Sports Chicago

    Million dollar question. I'm downstate. But my regional fox sports net IS Fox Sports Chicago and Cubs games were never blacked out. Will I get them on CCSN-C or will they possibly do things different?
