    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Hate to say it because it's been a good ride, but this was the last straw. Yes, there'll be an ETF, but then again free NFL Sunday Ticket -- and Big Ten Network and full time HD RSNs -- makes it mostly worth it. Joining the dark side. :/ Live sports are really the only reason I have pay-TV and...

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    NET (Nebraska PBS) in HD. Dish already has the Norfolk-Sioux City station, KXNE, in HD, and the feed is the same across the state, so if they could just distribute KXNE statewide they wouldn't have to uplink the transmitter in each market.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    If BTN is gone on 9/1, I'll wait about a week just to see if a deal is reached after BTN pulls their signal. Hopefully that'll be the case. If not, I'll probably jump to Direct over this one.

    10/11 KOLN/KGIN and 8 KLKN are just a yellow slate

    Channels 8 and 10 transmit from between York and Seward, and the signals can be weak enough in Hastings (uplink site) that sometimes they can't be reliably received OTA. This has been a common issue with channel 8 on both satellite providers in past summers, resulting in viewers in Lincoln...

    Recent Sling Adapter Issues

    Having trouble again -- Dish Online and the Dish iPhone app both show up black, but now at least saying "No Video Signal". Can I get a DIRT member to PM me and provide technical assistance with this?

    Local Commercials on National Channels?

    DirecTV's implementation actually does involved downloading ads to the DVR and then inserting them at various times. They're doing this in the top 25 markets at least. Satellite TV Providers to Start Offering Local Ads | DISH Network Satellite TV Deals Dish's implementation may be similar.

    Pac-12 Network

    I'm sure they'll add it, if for no other reason than Dish is based out of Denver and the Pac-12 Network will be carrying Colorado Buffaloes games. Employees will want to see it.

    Recent Sling Adapter Issues

    Did more troubleshooting this evening. The Hopper is connected to the Internet, has an IP on my network, and can be "seen" from Dish Online as my DVR contents load. The Hopper detects the Sling adapter, but the Sling adapter is unable to pick up the video signal by default since the latest...

    Recent Sling Adapter Issues

    Any chance the AX is blocking the port? What ports should be open for the Sling Adapter? I can give the Hopper a static IP and forward the port and see if that helps... come to think of it, this occurred when I put the Hopper "behind" the AX.

    Recent Sling Adapter Issues

    For the first couple weeks after installation, my Hopper and Sling Adapter worked just fine together... now, when I try to watch online, I can select a program from the Dish Online guide and choose "Watch Online", but the video player attempts to connect and finally just goes to a black screen...

    FYI - Diplexers adversely affect Moca signal strength

    I didn't even want to try to have OTA and MoCA share the same coax so when the installer came yesterday, I told him I had existing OTA distribution from my antenna to the bedroom (where the Joey is) and den (where the Hopper is) and asked if he could run new coax when he installed the Joey. The...

    Hopper, What a surprise!

    Got mine scheduled for Saturday. I actually could have had it today but am working today. I, too, was really surprised by the turnaround time!

    Rumor Alert - SiriusXM Rumor!

    How is this different from what has been available before? I have had DISH for almost 2 years and most SiriusXM music channels have always been available to me.

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    I stand corrected. It must just be CW100+ markets that Dish doesn't pick up if on subchannels.

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    Not on a fairly short tower, on channel 51, and adjacent to a creek's floodplain. At the moment, the signal doesn't go any farther than 15 miles. And that's if the antenna is decent. At this moment they have the coverage area of a LPTV. Not like it matters as I have yet to see anyone watching...

    Lincoln Broadcasting requests to the FCC that Channel 15 (CW) be substituted for 51 (Fox)...why thi

    The head-end for Dish and DirecTV is at KHAS-TV in Hastings. This is why DirecTV shows PBS on channel 29, as they are picking up KHNE 29. Dish is probably also getting KHNE and simply displaying it as KUON 12, the flagship station. This is also why KLKN sometimes pixellates on the satellite...

    Nebraska Locals

    Technically speaking, the North Platte market as offered on DISH is complete as K25KA (CBS/KGIN) and KHGI-CD (ABC/KHGI) are the local affiliates for North Platte. I know KHGI-CD shows up as its own station over the air ("KHGI-CD Digital Television 27.1") but don't know if it airs local ads in...

    Very nice to have another news perspective. I've had it on for the last few hours. Don't suppose there's a HD version out there (obviously not carried on Dish yet...)

    Poor Quality Local Fox Affiliate Dish

    Looks like WSJX is the Puerto Rico Fox affiliate and it only transmits an analog signal. This would result in the picture quality issues you're describing. Dish provides Puerto Rico locals in USVI; your local affiliate is actually WEON, which is carried via cable. Your local NBC is...

    Poor Quality Local Fox Affiliate Dish

    Is the picture from WSJX better on other providers, or over-the-air? Sounds like the problem is on their end, or that Dish isn't getting the feed straight from WSJX but rather from an analog translator.
