    Chicago WBBM 2-1 (3)

    I am only 14 miles from downtown. From my roof I can see the Sears tower and the Hancock. Last spring I installed a Channelmaster 3017. I have a Dish 622 and a Mitsu 52628. The best I can do with WBBM is a 85 on the signal meter with the 622. That is on a cloudy day with no wind. On a...

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    The front of the cabinet is enclosed but the back is open and I have a small fan blowing in there. I have put the fan so it blows right in the box but it has always ran high

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    From the way mine acted, I think it has more to do with thermal expansion inside the receiver. It would start up fine and after about a half hour the problems would start. Mine also was in a spot where it or the cables never moved. Plus the unit is only 10 inches of of the ground so there is...

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    Last night the problem came back with my 622. Now all I had to do is bump the cabinet the receiver is sitting in and the signal would jump. Called tech support yesterday and was told it was a known SW problem and just use the component cables, he would not sent out a replacement. I Called...

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    I have had my 622 for about 6 months now using the HDMI connection since the start. Today when I turned on the set, no picture. I wiggled the HDMI cable at the 622 and got the picture back for a couple of hours. Then the picture would come and go when I played with the connection, and now all...

    Problem with one channel

    I no longer need the amplification with the cm3017. The coax is not diplexed, the sat dish is on the other side of house. There is no ghosting on analog so I guess it is just a case of over load. I have split the line from the antenna and it feeds both the 622 and the tv tuner and it has...

    Problem with one channel

    Analog is good also. I will try again with pointing the dish, but I can see the towers from my roof top. I should add that WCIU did the same thing with the Winegard antenna with the 622. I had a 942 before and did not have this problem. I did have to add a small in line signal amp form Radio...

    Problem with one channel

    Moving the antenna made no difference. I then ran the feed to the tv tuner and all digital channels are good. I guess the 622 just doesn`t like the WCIU signal. I will put in a splitter and run the antenna to both tuners and switch to tv tuner when the games are on WCIU. Thanks

    Problem with one channel

    I will try to aim the better but I think it is close now. The Channel Master is new. I used to have a Winegard that came with the Voom install. but that wuold not receive WBBM which is VHF. I am not using any signal amplifier with the 622. All the stations are over 90 on the meter because in...

    Problem with one channel

    I have a Dish 622 and a Channel Master 3017. I get 28 channels in the SW burbs of Chicago. One station, WCIU 26 Is only 15 miles away with nothing in the way. The signal strength meter on the 622 shows a strength of 99, yet the signal breaks up frequently. This station carries some of the...

    Dish 942 Lease

    It took three days to receive the 942. It came 1 hour before the dish guy showed up to install. I was replacing a 811 and eliminating a 532. I told the installer how the cables were routed and suggested he run a new cable to where the 532 was and it would be a simple install. He said he did...

    Dish 942 Lease

    I have been a subscriber to dish for less than 18 months and got the exemption. I think it has more to do with level of service, auto pay, and credit rating. Just my .02

    Dish 942 Lease

    Two hours after I e-mailed dish I received a reply with a offer to lease a 942. I had to pay the $250 up front and they are sending the unit UPS. They will be sending a installer to pick up the 811 that I am leasing now. I asked about the mpeg-4 plans and he did not know anything for certain...

    Dish 942 Lease

    I have a 811 with a second dish for Voom at 61.5. I would like to try to lease a 942 for the DVR. If approved, can I just switch the recievers or is a install required?

    Talked to Dish yesterday and since I still had a account with them I could only upgrade one box. I need HD in one room and SD in 2 others. After calling 3 times and talking to 3 different CSR, the offers differed slighty, The best it would cost me was 428.98 for a 921 and 2 301s plus...
