    I want to thank this website for keeping me up-to-date on all matters concerning the Dish Network. I have always received the help that I need from this site including the group referred to as DIRT. I had set aside the card I received from Dish concerning the AMC channels and really missed the...

    Is Dish Satellite 129 Not Operating Again?

    Both my units are now working fine. The 722 came back by itself. The 612 had to be unplugged to get 129 back on it. My sister lives across the golf course down aways from us and hers were down for 129 but came back by themselves. Thanks. Good to know you are still out there Iceberg.

    Is Dish Satellite 129 Not Operating Again?

    My 722 DVR is now receiving 129 but my 612 does not receive 129 yet. I unplugged it and am waiting on program guide to update. Hopefully, it will have 129 when it finishes. How can this happen when both units are hooked to the same dish?

    Is Dish Satellite 129 Not Operating Again?

    Left the house and the ballgames for 2 hours and returned and both my receivers no longer have the 129 satellite. Is it not operating again like several days ago. Can Dish tell us what it happening to 129?

    DISH Loses 135,00 Subs in Second Quarter

    Been with Dish over 14 years and I always looked at my options for television programing. The FCC Commission Chairman in 1957 called television a "Vast Wasteland." At the time in North Florida, we got channel 6 in Tallahassee and channel 10 from Albany, Ga, with a 50 foot tall television...

    3 Months Free HBO

    Thanks KAB. I have never been in a chatroom. I guess I am just too old and dumb. But I went to the web address included in KAB's response to my question and was successful. I was already getting Starz for 12 free months and they said they had just turned on HBO and Showtime for 3 months just...

    TV Ratings

    In the past, I have received the packet from Nielson whereby I recorded what we watched and mailed it in after a week. That was a long time ago. But I can be watching "Imus in the Morning" now and they will discuss their ratings from earlier in the week or just a few days ago. The NY Times...

    TV Ratings

    Do the satellite providers (Dish and Direct) provide information on what TV programs their subscribers are watching to the ratings companies? For instance, if Hannity had 3 million viewers last Thursday, are Dish and Direct subscribers included and if so how is the information collected?

    DISH Network Launches Distant Networks

    That is probably the only solution. I just don't understand why the Dish Website under the tab, "RV Solutions" offers both cities in HD but no one has been able to tell me what makes it work. If the website is mistaken, why doesn't somebody just say "It's Not Possible -- It Has To Be Either...

    What happened to non-HD channels on main HD TV?

    I have 3 HD receivers and only 2 of them have deleted the SD channel from the guide for channels which previously listed both HD and SD. It appears one of HD receivers has not been updated by Dish yet. I have gone to the Menu and tried to do it mannually but that option is not available for...

    DISH Network Launches Distant Networks

    From looking at the Dish Network All List, it appears to me that in order to maximize my channels that I would need a Eastern Arc (1000.4) with a separate dish for 110. If you got a better idea, please help me. Thanks again.

    DISH Network Launches Distant Networks

    If I have a separate Dish RV account for my RV receiver and want to receive the LA and NYC HD channels that the Dish website says are now available, which dish would I need? The Eastern Arc (1000.4), the Western Arc (1000.2), some other configuration of dishes to receive the HD channels that...

    DISH Network Launches Distant Networks

    Why does the List for 72.7 show the LA channels as SD and the NYC channels as HD? Iceberg's post of 5-19-11 refers to the List for 72.7 for RV people for their HD channels. Iceberg states that LA & NY are in HD on the List for 72.7 at channels 9950-9957. .Is the List for 72.7 incorrect...

    Moving to Houston - Have a Box Under my Parents (in NY) - Will it Work Here?

    Has Dish changed its' policy. Back in 1997, Charlie told us on one of his chats that if you had a mountain home or a beach house that you could take your receiver with you when you left town for your vacation home. He said to buy another dish (portable or permanent to use when gone) and enjoy...

    Missing HD Channels

    Zach: One last question and I thank you again. If he just moves the separate dish from 61.5 and tunes it to 72.7, will that give him about the same programing as the full Eastern arc? I ask this cause I am dealing with a very old friend who does not like alot of changes. Thanks.

    Missing HD Channels

    Zach: If my friend migrates to the Eastern Arc and leaves 61.5, 110, and 119, will he be able to get most of the channels that he lost from 61.5 and are now the virtual channels. For instance CNN, ESPN2? He would have to continue watching the Tallahassee locals on his antenna. Thanks.

    Out of Market HD Locals for RV Users

    One of my HD units is for my RV. In the past American Direct thru Dish was giving me local HD channels for use when I left the Tallahassee locals footprint. I was getting Chicago and Los Angeles up until January 2011 and since then I only get the NYC and San Francisco SD locals. Since...

    Missing HD Channels

    I get my Dish channels from the Western Arc. A friend gets his from 61.5, 110, and 119. Here in Tallahassee, FL, some areas cannot receive 129 cause it is too low on the horizon so Dish puts up a separate dish for 61.5. However, since the Tallahassee locals are on only 129, these people have...

    One of my DVR's, a (VIP 722), which was installed in 2007 suddenly will not come on when we turn it on in the morning at 5am. It is very hot (unit sits on top of a cabinet with plenty of air) and is humming. The external hard drive for this unit is blinking like something is being moved from...

    No April Fools Joke Today is my 14th year with Dish.

    July will be 14 years for me. Our only option has been Comcast and I use them for internet only. Tallahassee was the only city in FL without WWOR and WPIX back then and the Comcast manager told me at a city commission meeting that he was not planning on ever having those stations in...
