Guys (and gals), I haven't tried this before but is it possible to add a wing dish to a Dish 1000 by using a DP21 switch with the DP Plus Twin LNBF to get the following 4 satellites? Namely, the 110, 119 and 129 from the Dish1000 and 61.5 from a wing dish. Thanks a bunch!

Are there anybody here in the Richmond, VA DMA? Can you confirm that your locals are coming off of 110 and not on 129 anymore? I know that the uplink reports indicate that but I just want to confirm before our customers get the D1000 installed. To check if your Richmond, VA locals are on...

This is late by two days but I figured it's worth posting. For those in the NY DMA that can get the YES Network with your Total Choice and higher subscription, you can get interactive features throughout a live Yankees game with a DirecTV interactive receiver (D10-100, -200, or -300), D11...

Retailer Chat today, 6/14/06, at 12 PM Noon! It might just be a wrap-up of Team Summit but they might have some finished details some are anxious to hear about. :D

Guys, I haven't read the release notes for the 522 and 625 receivers lately but I did notice that the release notes are the same for both receiver. When the 625 was first released, the key differences were that the 625 had Dish PPV on Demand and the 522 didn't. The 522 now has...

Today, DirecTV has launched a new package called KoreanDirect and a new a-la-carte channel called CTS. If you came from this thread, welcome. I started this thread to talk about the new Korean programming available on DirecTV. Previous discussion on Korean programming on DISH and DirecTV were...

Prediction on the DISH satellite shuffle DISH Network has been busy lately shuffling channels around! With customers in the 2-dish must-carry markets (110 and 61.5 or 110 and 148) getting messages that they'll soon be able to view all their locals via one dish, it looks like the following...

According to: http://rweb.echostar.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/TechUpdates.shtml The update should've happened yesterday but I didn't see it. I see some 921 owners reporting downloads today, however. Hopefully we'll see the 9-day guide back and other bug fixes like...

DISH Network Launches HD Locals in 7 more cities/DMAs! DISH Network will be launching HD local channels in 7 U.S. cities on Thursday March 2nd. These additional cities will bring the total number of HD local markets to 12 and reinforces DISH Network as the Leader in HD programming...

E* might release more upgrade details on tomorrow's Retailer Chat so stay tuned! Scott, if you make a notice thread, you can delete this. I didn't see a reference for it yet. Don't forget this one like the last one!

I'm not sure how many new DISH subs we have on here but has anyone gotten a 411 or two (ViP 211 is not out yet) as a new DISH sub yet? If I'm not mistaken, you can't order a 411 as a new sub through DISH, only through your retailers. I have someone on hold as we're doing their direct DISH sale...

Guys, I keep hearing DISH's HD upgrade being lackluster in comparison to DirecTV's Free HD receiver after rebate deal. Look at the attached .gif file to compare DISH's to DirecTV's. DirecTV's offer: New or Existing customer: $199 for H20 Receiver $200 Rebate AND 2-YEAR COMMITMENT...

Hey guys. I wanted to let you guys know that Channel One Russia channel that was on DISH is now on DirecTV. The channel is: Ch. 2140 on 95 satellite.

I was bombarded by customers so I couldn't watch the Retailer Chat too well but did any other retailer catch that they're releasing the 411 by the end of the month? They didn't announce a new satellite launch for MPEG4, though. And how come no one did a retailer chat recap this time?! It was...

Can anybody get uplink activity for DirecTV like people can for DISH now? DISH weekly uplink activity is like the following thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=110718 .

Well, I tried to look for the right forum to put this in but I think I'm somewhat accurate. Basically I recently found out that the Discovery channel was airing Top Gear twice a week but on this week my 921 DVR recorded something else. I checked next week's guide and the web site and Top...

Thanks for the answers to the other thread where people have reported that you lose the PPV ordering (via remote) functionality if you don't have a phone line connected. But, what about for a customer that's getting the R10 installed for the first time? Do they need a phone line to activate...

How "bad" is it to operate the R10 without phone line connection? Hi guys. I know that without the phone line connected, the guide is very slow but what about the software downloads? Are they released very frequently (i.e. once a month)? We have a customer who got the R10 but has no phone...

Hey guys. Could you do me a favor and tell me if DISH Network charged you for the DPP44 switch for a must-carry 2nd dish install (61.5 or 148) if you already had a SuperDISH 121 installed for international channels? I'm getting conflicting answers where one side says yes, DPP44 switch is an...

Maybe all of the attendees are busy celebrating and having a good time during the main festivities tonight. But has anyone picked up on any new news. So far, I've read about the 411/422/962 receivers, D1000, broadband by DISH, and the V* channels coming over. Anything else that's not covered...

I'm looking at HD lineup of cable, D*, E*, and soon-to-be-defunct V* but I don't see a whole lot that each others are missing. So is it the broadcasters that are not pumping out these HD channels or are the pay TV providers just deciding not to carry them? Here's "my" list of HDTV channels...

I know majority of the HD programs have Dolby Digital 5.1 as well as the premium channels, but what other channels or programs have DD 5.1? Do local channels broadcast on DISH have DD 5.1? There's a customer with a 311 contemplating a 510 DVR swap but I'm not sure what percentage of non-HD...

Hi guys. Another "problem" I have. I have a customer who has a Sony TV that has Twin PIP. The question is, which DISH Network receiver besides the 522 and 322, can you output two different channels from the same receiver. Can the 721 or the 921 output different channels from say, component...

Hi guys. Do any of you guys have a PAL TV (sold in Europe) hooked up to a 322/522? My question is that I'm having a hard time figuring out what channel on a PAL TV corresponds to a channel on a NTSC system. For example, the default channel for TV2 on a 322/522 is Channel 60 Air. But I...

I have an old DISH Network IR remote (grey buttons that supposedly comes with 2800 receivers) that work with HD 811 receivers but other IR remotes from 301 receivers don't seem to work with the 811. After talking to Advanced Tech., the 811 is NOT supposed to take IR remote control signals but...
