    Signal strength for 110, 119 & 129...can you prioritize?

    A few weeks ago, I started having signal strength issues with my main receiver...a VIP722. It seemed that whenever I'd exit watching a DVR recording and go directly to "Live TV", I'd get a complete signal loss error message. I'd reboot, and sometimes this would remedy the problem for a while...

    Customer service and false information?

    I thought I'd post something here regarding a call I made to DISH a few days ago to see what some of the members thought. I called to try to work out a better deal on my programming and equipment costs. During the discussion, I was transferred to the retention department where I spoke at length...

    Why I was thinking of leaving DISH

    Just called and bitched some more to DISH. My first call to them was on 8/30. They said they'd send the Roku. I called again on 9/8. They said they'd send one "expedited shipping". Still nothing as of today (9/22). Today I told them I wanted to dump DISH for DirecTV. They offered me free...

    Current Dish customer looking at options

    Hi guys - I've been with DISH for years, but the pissing match with AMC is making me look at all the competitor's promo offers. I really like the way my DISH receivers have built-in OTA tuners. With my HD DVR receivers, I can easily record OTA channels right to the hard drive and the...

    Is DISH migrating channels from 110 and 119 to 72 and 77?

    I had an appointment scheduled today (1-17-11) for a Dish installer to come out and re-aim the dish that is currently picking up my 110 and 119 signals in order to allow it to now pick up the signal from 72 and 77. I did this because I received a call from Dish Network last week from a woman...

    942 USB port - is it "powered"?

    Well...I have a different use in mind for the USB port on my 942. I have more heat build-up than I'd like with all my A/V components on my Sony stand, and I recently found a nice small, quiet USB-powered cooling fan to help move air across the tops of my gear. Does anyone know if the 942's USB...

    What HDMI version does the 942 use?

    I am currently shopping for a new A/V receiver that features HDMI switching. I am very interested in the Pioneer VSX-72TXV. I noticed the following disclaimer on Pioneer's site though, regarding this receiver: *HDMI connection may not allow transmission of copyright material depending on the...
