    How CBS Dispute Affects You ?

    A message moved across the bottom of the screen about this while watching Survivor this evening. I have been cutting back on my programming because I have realized that I was paying for channels I did not watch. HBO went, Showtime went, when the Turner stations went bye-bye I dropped to Top...

    Several rcvrs in headend system do not retain channel setting

    Thank you very much for the information. I will be waiting for the problem to occur again so I know which receivers I need to deal with.

    Several rcvrs in headend system do not retain channel setting

    Sorry, busy time of year for me and little time to get back involved in the thread. Receivers are D12 models. I'm going to document which receivers are acting up to establish if it is in fact the same ones. I will then try to access the menus (still uncertain if I can access and fully...

    Several rcvrs in headend system do not retain channel setting

    I'm sorry, but I do not know which receivers the system is using but can find out. They are not HD receivers. I have a headend system in the gym I own with 15 receivers. After a power failure, and they are pretty frequent in our area, there are 4 receivers that will not restore back to the...

    DISH Network Price Change

    Read every post but maybe I overlooked it. Do we actually know what premium channel will be offered as an olive branch or is this talk of Starz just conjecture?

    722 Does Not Accept 63 character Wireless WPA2 Encryption Key

    Not an answer to your problem per se, but a 63 character key is overkill to the max. In fact, it's more than likely slowing down any wireless transmissions between devices. In addition to acting as a vehicle for authorization, it's used to encrypt all communication between devices. It's a...

    Signal loss due to snow on dish

    I could have written this post. First big snow of the season and the first with a 1000.4. I can say it's not due to the snowfall but the snow on the dish because my reception resumed instantly when I cleared the snow off. (I could see the TV through the window from the deck.) But, this is a...

    Picture artifacts on Rescue me

    I hear ya. You always get this sinking feeling that maybe your receiver is going South. There's a thread on this I discovered after I first posted here. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/219246-61-5-dropping-out-anyone-else.html

    61.5 dropping out for anyone else tonight?

    This has been happening to me on FOXNews this afternoon and evening. TP 27 has been at 40 everytime I checked. I just did a power plug reset before I saw this thread. I thought it may have fixed it, but it just started doing it again. It's really messed up right now and 27 is still at 40.

    Picture artifacts on Rescue me

    FOXNews has been pixelating and breaking up with the sound dropping off this late afternoon into evening. I just did a power plug reset and so far it's OK but it's only been a few minutes.

    722k kills phone service

    I had this happen when I switched to HD. The tech reached around blind behind the receiver and plugged in the phone line. My alarm panel started beeping shortly after. It took us a while to put two and two together. It will click in just like in the phone port.

    Root cause of guide not updating?

    I'd have to try this in a day or so. Right now, I'm only lacking a few hours when 9 days out and when scrolling all the way to it, nothing happens. No pop up.

    Root cause of guide not updating?

    I power it off in the evening from the remote. My understanding was that it was still on though from the perspective of updates, but correct me if I'm wrong. I must say though, that I've had this receiver for nearly two years and this is maybe the second time I've had the problem. I went from...

    Root cause of guide not updating?

    Last night I noticed I only had 1 hour of the guide left on my 722. I came here and found that I needed to do a check switch to get it to download. I had already tried a power button and pull the plug reset. So anyway, does anyone know what causes this? Just curious really. As a side...

    Need Help With SAT Dish.

    Can you drag it to your home? Edit: Just tried it and yes you can. Google came out and did street view of my rural road (I'm surprised they even did it) and ever since, my house comes up on the same road but nearly a mile away. So I know what you're talking about. Bing has it right though.

    DISH Network June 3rd FAQ's

    I'm seeing the same thing. I can't select HD free without getting thrown into a page where the HD options are shown with nothing to select or acknowledge. In addition, I'm suddenly not enrolled in Paperless Billing. This, after being enrolled since it was first available. So I decided to do as...

    Anyone dropped Platinum from their HD & Platinum and kept "HD for Life?"

    OMG, they never give up do they? A fee to collect a payment. Nearly unbelievable.

    DISH Network June 3rd FAQ's

    I'm trying to determine what happens when my 24 month commitment expires. I do have AutoPay and Paperless billing. If I understand correctly, my options will be to either re-up for a 24 month commitment, or pay a one time $99 fee. Or is there a third option to pay $10 a month for HD...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    The term "bird" is slang for a satellite. I highly recommend the DishPointer link above. You can plug in your address and get a view of your property. You can then select from a list of satellites, or better yet, a dish itself. There has been reference here to Eastern Arc and Western Arc. Each...

    about to jump into the HD waters, so some (probably) stupid questions

    I'm not an expert by any means in all of this but I will give you my thoughts and they will be corrected I'm certain if I am wrong. Based on your description, it sounds as though the existing coax is RG6 that is buried. On that assumption, and based upon the time period it has been buried, you...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Just checked my activity since last statement at the Dish site. They signed me up for the Service Plan for $6.99. I'm sort of OK with that but it would have been nice if they'd told me first.
