    211 series receivers

    If it ain't broke... I have a turntable, VCR, and dual cassette deck under the 55" LED display, running through the $2k AVR driving $5k speakers.

    211 series receivers

    I finally replaced two 211s with 211ks a few weeks ago, but didn't recall the firmware. I've stuck with the 211(k) as replacements for my 501. Everything I had when I got the 501 (single tuner DVR w/o fees) with extras like larger drive, OTA tuner, and HD. And my DVR needs have decreased over...

    Guide Info Stinks!

    More likely millions of dollars a year. Rovi likely sold the service as better too.

    Dish Doles Out Digital Antennas as Retrans Battle Looms

    But they have pulled guide data for disputed channels in the past. Disputed channels being the reason for Dish providing OTA antennas.

    Arghhh, I am so frustrated with the H3 timers situation

    Which is why I said I think and listed them. I wasn't following things when the whole east/west arc came along. I go back to the days if just one satellite and remember when dish 500 came along and installing it. After that the myriad if different satellite locations used have been used, and...

    Arghhh, I am so frustrated with the H3 timers situation

    Ext HD for DVR. Eastern arc I think (110, 119, 129) Same setup since 2010. Actually same as before that, though I moved in 2010.

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    No Hopper involved. He wouldn't be uding my account, I'd just be testing with his tablet since it has HDMI out. Might convince me to get a new tablet. My past experiences with screen casting leave much to be desired (even with a high resolution device, 1920x1080, higher res than my 720p...

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    DishSubLA, Interesting info. Most isn't applicable to me as I don't have a Hopper (two 211s and a 211k, soon to be 3x 211k) or Slingbox but interesting none the less.

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    DishSubLA, Interesting. I've only ever used DA a few times on my laptop and tablet. I just meant that I had been meaning to try it with a better display. I don't even have a cable to attach to a TV. Have an older phone but never used the cable and my son's new tablet (Christmas) but he's 200...

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    mini PC? Never really messed with them but the few I looked at for HT use a while back were more expensive. But plenty of used laptops/netbooks that would do the task for $100 or less. There's a Lenovo X130E on eBay now for $55 that should be more than sufficient for running/displaying DA...

    EHD 211

    A powered hub allows USB power drives to work fine on my 211 (not k). The 211 USB port won't power them but the 211k does. But a powered hub takes Dish's power supply out of the picture.

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    I need to test DA with a high resolution tablet and HDMI out like the Nvidia Shield K1) It should work well. I know my son uses it for games with good resolution. I need to set up DA on it at some point. Just haven't had a chance since he got the tablet. I don't know about Apple devices. I...

    Returning Dish Equipment

    When i went from 301 to 211 they wanted the 301 remote.

    Returning Dish Equipment

    Those instructions change, but for sure they want the remote that goes with the receiver. The rest would depend on the changes made. That sounds more like instructions for when you cancel service. They didn't want my old LNBFs or switches when I moved to DPP, but that may have changed with...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    yea, I'm suddenly in the market for a new drive and that was a great price for 2TB. I'm not finding new bare drives that cheap, never mind with an enclosure.

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    Print on multiple pages (poster). It's probably meant to be printed on 11x17 then folded. After after checking the columns for the channels you want, check the add-on pack listings. But, yes, the 3 channels you mentioned are only in AT250. AHC is an SD channel. How it displays depends on you...

    Dish for Just One Sat?

    TRIBUNE & DISH reach an agreement

    I don't know if it would have worked if I had called or not. The CSR on chat didn't have a clue. I'm not convinced that the phone call would have been any different. I went back as far as I could online (Sep 2014) and HDFFL wasn't listed so there's no telling when they removed it. I seldom use...

    TRIBUNE & DISH reach an agreement

    It doesn't have to be there to receive HD, but w/o it the PPV ordering system didn't think I had HD.

    TRIBUNE & DISH reach an agreement

    I get the full WA. And all the locals that are available in the market are on WA currently. Well, to add to the mess I was checking LOS for EA. I just don't see it. Where I'd have to put the dish is a bad spot to put one. Especially compared to where it is now (in a nice, protected nook on the...

    TRIBUNE & DISH reach an agreement

    It appears that HD Free for Life was removed from my account at some point (don't know when), so the system didn't think I got HD. Now after that was added back I see the HD PPV options online. What's weird is I've been getting everything in HD correctly, but now they want to move me to EA...
