    Starz problem

    I am seeing pixelization and a blanking picture every once in a while on Starz West HD on all receivers 722 and 2 211's. It started yesterday. Haven't seen it on other Starz channels, or other channels located on 110 trans 19 where Starz West resides. Signal is good. I'm guessing this is a...

    Anyone have insight as to whether the HSP's are installing the HR24/H24's on a regular basis now?

    Salt Lake City EL/AZ angles

    Can some one in Salt Lake City tell me what the look angles are for the 99 101 and 103 satellites? I'm looking for line of sight and directv.com dish pointer only gives angles for 101 which gave me 41.5 elevation and 149 azimuth. I need to know 99 and 103. An installer showed up today and didn't...

    Random blackouts on sports channels. Very strange.

    I understand the blackout rules, but what I am experiencing is a strange one and has the D* reps on the phone stumped. I live in Portland, OR and subscribe to the NBA League Pass as well as the Sports Pack. It all started Sunday when the FSWest feed of the Lakers/Grizzlies game was blacked out...

    Center Ice and League Pass

    Doesn't look like anybody mentioned it but don't forget D* has both team feeds of a game available on LP :) E* only has one game feed available and mostly in SD :down If E* executives were basketball fans themselves they would do something about it, unless they don't want to watch...

    Goodbye DISH.....Hello DirecTV.....

    HOLY CRAP! I should have done this a long time ago. I can't believe how clear the picture is. Just shows how much E* compresses. Not getting any of the usual fuzziness/pixelization/artifacting that plagues E*. Seamless transition to the HR24. No inputing codes into the remote control, just...

    Thinking of switching.....but question about PIP

    I felt the same way to a certain extent, thought PIP was neat. Side-by-Side/Split screen was the only part of it that I liked, but they screwed it up with the last software upgrade so now it doesn't matter. PIP is dead, they killed it. PIP is the last thing I'm concerned about now. DISH has too...

    Qualified to install DirecTV

    Always use a dealer/retailer that has been in business for years. It's like finding a good auto mechanic. You can take your car to Jiffy Lube (HSP's, or DNSC's for that matter. hack hack hack) or you can find that one independent shop that's been doing it for years and years and knows what the...

    swiching to direct next week

    I don't mind taking dishes down for the most part since it's the easiest to swap dishes so you can use the same wiring, plus you're up there anyway. Recently a customer told me he appreciated me taking his old dish down even though he knew it wasn't part of my job. He gave me a tip for doing so...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    If you want sports you get DIRECTV, if you don't care about sports or how they're presented (like not all of them in HD) and are ok with missing channels from time to time you get DISH. How many players/coaches do you think subscribe to NBA League Pass through DISH? How many sports bars have...

    Grounding

    A lot are grounded since most receivers now have a 3-prong power cord. But if you're talking coax there is really a small percentage of installs that actually have ground blocks in the line. And not just D* or E* but a lot of commercial work C-band/Ku-band installs never have coax grounding, at...

    nba league pass free preview for direct tv?

    That does it. I've got to get DIRECTV now. I'm concerned that the games won't be in HD on dish because of their disputes and D* is doing this. I think Ergen should just get it over with and ram his company in the ground. DISH can't compete with Direct.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    A DISH CSR told me that NBA League Pass is not affected by the current disputes, however if they don't get MSG, the Fox Sports networks, etc back won't they end up showing those channels on the league pass in SD only? I'm thinking I'll have to call D* to get the league pass. I'm not shelling...
