    NHL Center Ice and Game Center Live

    Hi everyone, Just wondering, I have yet to sign up for NHL Center Ice and was wondering with a Dish Network signup do you get a promo code for Game Center Live (the online version) to get it for free as well. I only ask because I have friends in Canada who sign up via their services (Bell and...

    HD on 61 and 72

    Hi all, I've been looking at 'the list' and was wondering some channels show up in both lists as being available (i.e. HBOZ is on both 61 and 72). I get a really poor signal on that channel, like 13% on 61, but going by the listing of the transponder it should be on on 72 I would get a great...

    Yellow Screen

    I was watching Encore HD today and during a movie (Dumb and Dumber) the screen went all yellow, (no sound, no picture, just a blank bright yellow screen), I noticed it the other day as well during another movie. I switched to the SD channel and everything was good but the HD one stayed yellow...

    HD Moving.

    I was just checking, I get 40 on almost every channel with the exception of transponder 28 on 61.5, (which is about 15), which is why I was wondering if HBO was moving to 72. I suppose it could be a sat pointing issue though.

    HD Moving.

    So I've been frustrating myself all week with 1000.4 trying to get a better signal on some 61.5 transponders here in northern Maine (HBO 2 HD, HBOZ HD, etc have a signal of around 15),but I've been reading that these channels are possibly moving to 72, is this true? If someone can confirm this...

    61.5

    Hi everyone, I've been messing around with my 1000.4 today, and the last two days for that matter, and I'm still only getting 20% on most channels here, in northern eastern Maine. Actually 72 is better then 61.5, but still no higher then 40%. The shop I bought it from said the signal is...

    Dish Coverage.

    I tried that actually, I can see the footprint for 72 but not 61.5 (the link for Conus doesn't light up).

    Dish Coverage.

    I have an uncle living in Canada, Miramichi, New Brunswick to be exact, and he wants to get a Dish Network system, I know it's illegal and what not and told him so. I also told him the footprint for 61.5 likely doesn't reach that far east, since my signal is so bad in North Eastern Maine, but to...

    61.5 Signal Strength

    Hi, everyone's been great on here, so many quick replies. I just noticed something today, I'm only getting a 14-15% signal strength on transponder 20 on 61.5 (the channels still work sometimes), the other transponders are better 40% or more and 72.5 is fine. I have a 1000.4 setup and I live in...

    Installing Dish 1000.4

    Hi, I'm trying to install an eastern arc dish, I'm going from a setup on a Dish 500, and my receiver (VIP 222K) is still coming up as if it's hooked up to the Dish 500, (under installation summary it show sats 119 and 110). Is there any way to reset the receiver or setup the receiver to...

    RG59/U Cable

    Hey, You guys have all been really helpful with my last forum post. My new home is prewired with RG59/U to the outside for a satellite (the previous owner had a Dish 500) I know, it's cheaper cable and not sufficient, I wouldn't have installed it myself, but it was here when I moved in, so...

    Dish Pointing

    Thanks for the replies guys, I decided to get someone to install it. Just curious though, with the Dish 500 I have installed already, could that be re-aimed that to pick up 61.5 and 72.7? Thanks again for the replies.

    Dish Pointing

    Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to all this. Recently I signed up for the America's Everything Pack with HD in northern Maine (222k receiver). I did not want the installers coming to my house as it already had a Dish 500 on it. Anyway I'm using the Dish 500 now but...
