All, I am thinking of subscribing to Dish again, after being a non-subscriber for several years. My head is spinning trying to figure out what Dish will install, so that I can be prepared for the install (and to make sure that I won't be in for a difficult time should I buy another TV soon)...

I read in the paper that Comcast has bought the franchise rights to the City of Charlottesville, VA. (How Comcastic!) That's great and all, and while I have a Charlottesville mailing address, I am actually in Albemarle County. Does anyone know who got the franchise rights in the county...

My 721 receiver automatically took the L177 software download sometime late last week, I presume Friday night. Before that time, my receiver had been working fine and had not needed or been hard reset for several weeks. Yesterday morning, the power went out. It was a very clean power outage...

I was just on the phone with E* for an unrelated problem when the tech support agent got a pop-up on her screen. She asked me if I was in the Tri Cities TN/VA DMA, which I am not. If you are in this DMA and are having a problem with your locals, and you choose to call E*, they are asking...

I still haven't decided which receiver I want, but I may hold off for another reason: I have come to realize that I may have no line of sight to 61.5, so it looks like the Voom Pack may be out. How many HD channels, without buying any premiums, would I be able to enjoy? (That is, which HD...

All, I have a Sony KV-27HS420 HD-Ready TV to which I would like to connect an HD receiver. (It's CRT-based, 4:3 aspect ratio, and has both an HDMI input and HD-component inputs.) I'd like to get an HD receiver for this TV, but don't want to spend a lot... at least not on this TV, and at least...

I had a co-worker that recently signed up for cable with Adelphia in Charlottesville, VA and was told that they had HD. After they hooked up his cable and left him with the HD cable box, he discovered that Adelphia in our area has no HD. Well, I gave Adelphia a call the other night, and asked...

Charlottesville locals are still on TP17. I'm holding at a 62 signal strength. I am having a problem that started Thursday night. Every so often, I will briefly lose reception from 105, or the image will briefly pixelate. This lasts about 1-2 seconds each time it happens, and it happens about...

After my "new" 721 downloaded L175, I lost the 105 satellite. After running a check switch, everything seems to be OK. Have new software releases always required re-running a check switch?

It appears as if you will receive a new card eventually. (http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=64032) Call Sky Angel and update your address.

I received the update within days of its release. (Not sure of the exact day.) I do know that I got the update a day or two before my 721 reported its first "your hard drive has failed" error. I'm hoping the timing was purely coincidental.

My Bad... And I've had it so much with my Dish 721 DVR receiver, I accidently put this thread in the DirecTV DVR Forum. Would someone please move this thread! :shocked

I've just about had it with my 721 receiver. Last month, one of the tuners failed and the receiver had to be replaced. Now, less than a month later, the receiver has reported that the hard disk has failed twice within a week. And the only reason the CSR set up a return was because it would...

You want to make sure you have a cleaner that does not contain alcohol or ammonia. Have you ever tried Klear Screen?

E* would control 30 of 32 transponders if this deal goes through? I admit that this is an interesting choice of words... If memory serves me correctly, there are two unlicensed transponders at 61.5. Dominion (Sky Angel) holds 8 transponder licenses. Granted, Dominion has sublicensed 6...

I've noticed that the guide on all my receivers is wrong for all channels starting with the Daylight Savings Time change tonight. Can't E* have this displayed correctly for those of us that do lose an hour tonight?!

My 721 took the update on its own, I'm not sure when. I haven't found anything different yet.

Why are there three different current versions of the 301 receiver software? Why I ask: I had two 301's with 2.05. One needed replaced and apparently I got one with 2.29 on it. I'm now confused and don't know which is better... if there is any real difference. Will the 301's ever be...

Is there any difference between "output 1" and "output 2" on the 721 and 921 receivers?

I noticed that E* has spooled P205 to at least one of my 301 receivers. Does anyone know what was fixed(?) in this release?

I presumed 105 would give away that it was a SuperDish, but I should have been more clear. The dish is wall mounted with the standard mount, no strut kit. I'm in an apartment, penetrating mounts are not allowed. Three floors up, ground pole mount is out. I couldn't care less how the coax...

Yes, it was funny. Just I didn't laugh while they were here. They did not: 1. Secure the mast with six lag screws -- they only used four. (This was a wall mount job.) 2. Seal the holes. 3. Ground the dish. 4. Listen to me when I said not to put anything through the exterior wall...

I noticed that for where I live, the only stations on the "Significantly Viewed" list included only ABC, CBS, and NBC stations... actually it was horribly incomplete as it only contained our local NBC station when we also have local ABC and CBS stations as well. Did the FCC purposfully leave...

It was the dish alignment. I went outside and with Point Dish on 105 TP 10, I simply pulled the dish towards me and got a better signal. I then unlocked the dish and improved 105 TP 10 from not locked to locked on 105 with a 65 signal strength. (BTW, I am not an installer.) I also seemed to...
