    Why does AT&T offer DirecTV and a traditional TV service? (AT&T TV)

    They claim "No satellite dish, no cable box, and no appointments necessary" Well isn't that exactly what they're doing with DirecTV? That needs a satellite dish, a box, and sometimes an appointment. I don't get it.

    How much to upgrade to a Hopper from my 722

    I was told via chat my a Dish CSR that upgrading to one Hopper and one Joey from my 722 would require a credit check and a year long contract. Is there a way to just simply upgrade without the commitment?

    Using a hard drive enclosure with a ViP 722

    I have a 722 and the external hard drive I currently was using has failed. Can I buy an internal hard drive, put it in a USB 2.0 3.5" hard drive enclosure (that has its own power supply) and use that as an external hard drive with my DVR?

    Moving to Albuquerque, NM in December... moving questions!

    Hello all! In December, I'm moving to Albuquerque! Got some questions: 1. Does Dish need to come out to my house before I move to do anything, and is there anything important I should know? 2. What's this "Get a free upgrade to a new DVR" thing they're advertising on their website? --...

    10/11 KOLN/KGIN and 8 KLKN are just a yellow slate

    Looks like there was a fiber outage in York. Despite the rather large array of dish's outside, they uplink the programming in York by way of fiber. All other stations, except for PBS uplink in Hastings.

    10/11 KOLN/KGIN and 8 KLKN are just a yellow slate

    There's more than three. There's KHAS (NBC), KLKN (ABC), KOLN (CBS), KOUN (PBS), and KFXL (FOX). The only two with the problem are KLKN and KOLN.

    No storm last night. Went from being perfectly fine to all yellow. I was watching the news at the time.

    10/11 KOLN/KGIN and 8 KLKN are just a yellow slate

    Two local channels in the Lincoln NE market, 10 KOLN/KGIN and 8 KLKN are all yellow. No Audio, No video. Both on SD and HD. Both are off of the 110° West satellite, spotbeam 27. Only these two channels, other channels work fine. .

    Channel Moves

    Ch 102 is moving to Ch 103 Is Dish adding something in 102's place? Hope it's not another advertising channel for space heaters or whatever their selling now.

    Weather Channel Weather Scan

    When did that launch, and is it only in OKC? How did they implement that?

    Weather Channel Weather Scan

    I started a thread regarding this issue about a year ago, making the comparison that DirecTV has had this for years, and Dish is still "working it out." I emailed Dish, and got a reply from the programming department about it and they basically said the same thing. "We're working on it." I think...

    Sherwood AV Reciever Codes

    Dish's site

    New site's HD lineup is mis-leading. Anybody else notice that on the new site that lists all of Dish's High Definition channels, there's channels listed that aren't really in HD? (See screenshot)

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    There's an HD and SD feed of KFXL on Dish, however the on the HD version, it looks VERY bad. It's cropped, full of compression artifacts, It's like someone is running it through analog equipment before it goes out. It just looks terrible. The SD version suffers from this too, though it's not as...

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    Oh. Well that doesn't sound like a big deal after all. They probably wouldn't fix their picture quality issue (see other thread) and this only affects OTA people by the sound of it. :(

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    Omaha would get 51? What's the point, they've had a FOX station for a long time. And what would happen to KXVO, it'd just change channel numbers?

    VIP 722 TV2 picture quality gets worse over time

    Great... well I called dish and they said to set it to a channel lower than 60 on Air.

    VIP 722 TV2 picture quality gets worse over time

    The TV2 is on the completely opposite end of my house and up two floors, not an option. There's no way I can find that much RG6 lying around my house. Switching the frequency of the output does help troubleshoot, because previously it didn't look clear, and now that the frequency is switched it...

    VIP 722 TV2 picture quality gets worse over time

    It's on channel 80 on Cable. The only thing that TV is connected to is the 722. The 722 has an OTA antenna connected to it, but the TV2 tuner can't see it, so it shouldn't interfere. I did a channel scan, and it only saw channel 80. Obviously it won't see channel 80 if it's set to Air because...

    VIP 722 TV2 picture quality gets worse over time

    Nope, no new OTA channels. And I'm not convinced it's the TV because I change the modulator setting and it looks fine. However if I go back to channel 60, it looks fuzzy, and now channel 73 looks fuzzy, which makes me think it's the 722. All the connections on the tri-plexer and ground block...
