    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    Sorry it took so long to get back to this thread. This weekend I was able to aim the dish to get both 61.5 and 72. Dish tried a few things and the thing that finally solved the problem was an update to my software. So I am guessing I needed to see both satellites in order to get the update...

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    Thanks for this info, also thanks to Tampa8 for also pointing out that not having 72 may be my issue. I will let Zach know this info, like I said it is probably something easily corrected once we find out what is causing the problem. I have 2 LNBs I can put on the dish, one is the eastern...

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    When I found about about the Welcome pack years ago I purchased a receiver and a dish and set it all up and everything worked great and I was happy. I wound up moving to a new house ~2.5 years ago and after a couple of months after moving and it being winter I never got a chance to set up the...

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    I get sub channels OTA that I don't think I would get from Dish, like MeTV, Escape, Grit, LAFF, This, etc. so that is why I would use the OTA module.

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    After I scan and select done a box comes up and says - the off air channels that you have selected will not appear in the guide until your receivers high definition functionality has been activated. Please call 1-800-333-DISH (3474). This is code 784. When I contact dish they said I need the...

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    I have one and get locals over that. My receiver has the ota module and I wanted to use that so everything is integrated. I am running into a problem where I can scan and see the locals in the setup menu but when I click done I get a message saying that hd needs to be enabled to use the ota module.

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    I just decided to cancel service. The welcome pack is $20 and dish said I had to pay an additional $30/month for them to turn on the ota tuner so I can watch free tv. Makes no sense. Not sure if this is true or not or if they are hoping I'll pay more. I spent three weeks going back and forth...

    welcome pack and ota with 222k - dish says too bad

    I used to have the welcome pack and then moved and stopped service. I finally got a dish setup and restarted service but I get an error code stating dish needs to enable hd so I can use my ota card. I called dish and they said I have to upgrade to a $50 package so I can have watch ota channels...

    72w/103w question

    Thanks! I'll swing the dish over. I have a 6' WSI c-band dish but haven't had much luck getting anything with that - project for the spring at this point.

    72w/103w question

    Hi, I checked "the List" and it looks like the NBC mux on 72w is still there but I just wanted to make sure since I will be moving my dish from 103w and wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I have a 30" Ku setup with an S9 receiver but I think it is too small to get the HD feeds on...

    Is it safe to order a DSR-410 from skyvision or should I wait?

    Thanks for the help! I currently have a motorized KU band setup and have been having a lot of fun playing around with that over the past couple of years - one day I may upgrade to an HD receiver. I just checked out SRL and I think the information on their site may have answered my questions -...

    Is it safe to order a DSR-410 from skyvision or should I wait?

    I am starting to get into C-band, bought a 6' dish from WSI and I am interested in setting up a W5 fixed system. I can't get a good read on what is going on or if these receivers and programming services will still be available in a few weeks. From what I have read in here it looks like it...

    C-band prime focus aiming?

    Thanks for the help. I won't have time to play around again until over the holidays but at least it looks like I am on the right track.

    C-band prime focus aiming?

    Hi, I am starting to play around with C band. I am trying to point my 6' WSI dish at 103w. Do I just set the elevation of the dish to what dishpointer says (using one of the magnetic angle finders) and play around with the azimuth and hope for the best? This is how I had luck with my offset...

    FTC Sues Echostar For Do Not call List violations.

    Dish was calling me 10 times a day trying to get me to sign up. It was from the number 888-285-9984. If you want to avoid the menus just call this number and I think it connects you to a customer service rep. Every time they called I filed a complaint, took months to get them to stop bothering me.

    Do LNBs go bad? Can't get vertical.

    Voltages check out from the receiver. I tried the direcpc lnb and no joy. I will order a new lnb and try again.

    Do LNBs go bad? Can't get vertical.

    Can the receiver maybe be bad? I have a traxis 3500 with an xtreme II lnb. I get horizontal fine but no vertical. I am going through an sg2100 motor. Can I check the voltages out of the receiver? When I choose vertical for lnb type when I am on a H channel the channel goes away so I am...

    Can I use 72w instead of 72.5w for true south?

    My father played around with my motorized Ku setup and decided he wanted one. I am going to help him install his in a couple of weeks. His true south satellite comes up as 72.5w but it looks like it doesn't have any FTA on it or any linear transponders. Will I be able to get by if I aim to...

    Is there a USB or PCI FTA HD receiver?

    I have a traxis 3500 that I am using now but would like to try to get HD feeds without getting an expensive set top box. Is there a decent USB box to do this? Or PCI card? Do they also make one that does ATSC? I tried to sift through the forum but didn't find much, then again, maybe I was...

    help? What am i pointed at?

    I moved to 72W and then at the bottom I selected "move to reference" did a scan and I got GBN and KFTL. Looks good for now, i will play around and see if that fixed it. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for making it look so easy. Steve

    help? What am i pointed at?

    I'll try going to 72 for true south. When I moved to 101W and scanned I get 12099/20002 H with ABN and Live channel and a couple of others and IPTV News/Drama/Variety are scrambled. Guess I can sift through lyngsat to see which way is up.
