    NASA TV - HD or do we lose it?

    Make it HD. You really can't appreciate the content in SD. It does not do it justice. By gosh, it's not 1969 anymore!!!!!

    Virtual Joey on LG Blank Menus

    That is my next step. Just hoping I was doing something wrong. At this point, the kids are so confused by the setup that its not an option to keep it.

    Virtual Joey on LG Blank Menus

    I just activated the Virtual Joey on my LG TV. Everything works fine for about a day. The next time I turn on the television, the app tries to start automatically and i can hear the programming, but the screen says loading. I hit the LG remote exit button and I have full screen TV. This...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Is there a way to pause a program on the Joey then continue watching it on the hopper? I would like to leave the living room and retire to the bedroom to finish watching the program in progress.

    Screen Protector for Pocketdish?

    Well - I bought one from Walmart (I think it was Kodak brand). Basically it was a package with several size screens for cameras, pocket TVs, etc. which I had to cut to size and use a little tool to press the plastic down with. It stinks...don't buy it. It traps air bubbles under the screen...

    622 OTA Signal Strength - What is enough?

    I had a cheapie HD attenna with amp and got about 3 out of 5 local channels. No PBS, no UPN, no ABC. Then a buddy of mine got a Wineguard Sharp Shooter HD antenna (with built-in amp) and let me borrow it. I tested signal strengths on both the cheapie and the sharp shooter and determined that...

    Who is the best installer in the Sacramento area?

    They sub out much of the install work in Sacramento. As I understand it, when you make an appointment through a CSR directly, their computer system automatically routes the request to either the local center or the sub. They have no control over who gets the job. My personal experience is...

    Do i really need the Dish Home Protection Plan

    This makes no sense to me. I have leased my equipment for years and gone through PVRs (about 4 DVR-501s), bad LNBs, dish re-allignment, etc. I have not been charged for any repairs or replacements - ever. I thought the fee was just for subscribers that buy equipment. Maybe I am wrong.

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    This will be my last post on the topic, but I thought some of you might want to know the final resolution. An experienced tech finally came to the house and replaced all my LNB's and repointed my dish 1000 in 30 minutes. I now get about a 65% signal on 129 which is much better than before and...

    Dish 1000 in Sacramento, CA

    I get about a 65% signal strength on 129. Getting the Dish tuned on all 3 sats is a challenge. All I can say, is get an experienced tech. It took three attempts to fix my dish (broken bolt) and have it properly retuned.

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    Installer came and discovered a bolt broke on the arm that holds the dish in place and that the on the LNB, the wrong bolts were used. So, he replaced all the parts and refocused the dish. I have no more signal issues on 110 and 119 and get a signal strength around 85-89%. But, he could not...

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    I have a technician coming to the house on Friday to investigate. With tech support help, we determined that 110 transponder 3 was not receiving a signal at all.

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    Sat 110 I discovered that the locals are coming off of satellite 110 for which I only have a 68-71% signal strength. Seems that the Dish 1000 may not be angled correctly. I remember the installer having problems. He tuned 129, which seems to have had a negative impact on tuning 110. I am...

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    Thank you all....this has not happened since. But, if it does, I will check the 86xx stations (sd local) on the 622 to see if I can trace this down to the 622 or the signal.

    Sacramento HD Locals Losing Signal

    Last night my wife and I were watching ABC primetime on the new HD Local sat station via our 622. We had so much pixilization, signal loss, and stuttering that the television program was unwatchable via the Sat signal and whole portions of the program were lost. The HD OTA reception was...

    622 problems

    I had the identical problems when I first got my 622. Problem was, I was not in single mode, I was in dual mode so PIP did not work. Second, if you set times in dual mode and switch the box to single mode or even vice versa, it seems to screw up all the timer defaults (for tuner selection) and...

    622 makes me mad!

    I have mine in single mode and have noticed that anything that is set to record off of OTA (mainly local HD for me) will default to Tuner 1. All my SD recordings default to Tuner 2.
