    G4 gone: SoapNet and G4 ceasing operations/distribution soon?

    Dish Network owns a minority interest in G4 Media. Approximately 12%. Maybe that's why Esquire went to Style instead of G4.

    Maximum coax length

    I did get the automated phone call last night to confirm. After 5pm came and went I did the online chat thing, they gave me the run around until I asked for escalation to someone that could actually do something. Ended up with executive relations team, they finally determined that the tech...

    Maximum coax length

    Dish cancelled my install with no notification. Good thing I took a day off work to wait for them to not come!

    Maximum coax length

    Called Dish directly and have an install scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. The spot where the DirecTV dish is has perfect LOS to 110, 119, and 129. I'm doing 1 Hopper and 2 Joeys.

    Maximum coax length

    Nice! I could shorten it up some if I could bury the coax diagonally across my yard, but my yard is terraced and there's a stone retaining wall that I'd have to come through, which seems like way too much hassle to save on what might end up being 20' of coax.

    Maximum coax length

    A crummy one. It works on all the locals except the NBC which is the closest. EVERYONE has trouble with it. It's VHF channel 7 and running 1.2kw out of the transmitter. If the only way is EA, I can try a better antenna. But I see no reason that WA wouldn't work.

    Maximum coax length

    Also, meant to ask, does the Solo Node go at the Dish, so I can use one coax to the house? Then use a tap for the Joeys, correct? I think I need to call Dish directly to order.

    Maximum coax length

    I have a tree that is just barely in the LOS for western arc if we place the dish on my roof. And that tree is growing like a weed, so even though signal is "good" today, there will be problems with it soon. Previously Dish had mounted a 1000.2 in the location, and the tree did cause an...

    Second reciever charge

    I called a year ago and asked if they could reduce my bill since cable was offering comparable service for $29.95 a month for 2 years. Dish couldn't match the price, but they knocked $20 a month off my bill for a year and gave me 3 months of free HBO. Call them and see what they can do for...

    Owned vs leased recievers

    I currently have an owned DVR508 on my account, but I need to move to Eastern Arc due to LOS issues, I simply can't see 129 from my property and 61.5 isn't carrying some of the newer channels. If I switch to leasing a DVR625, will my bill increase? I think they are now charging the same...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I've got 110/119/61.5 :( That was after I "upgraded" from a 1000.2 dish. Neighbor has a damned tree in the path so I don't have LOS to 129.

    Remote code for Emerson LC320EMXF

    Picked up a 32" Emerson LCD at Wallyworld on Black Friday, model# LC320EMXF. Just got around to trying to program a 6.3 remote to control this set. None of the codes I tried have worked. Does anyone know of a remote code for this set?

    VIP 722 OTA issues - Cedar Rapids IA

    Correct. 9.2 decodes fine and I can watch it. 9.1 says no signal, 0 level on the meter. But the tuner in my TV decodes it fine. Others in the market have the same issue, while some can see it just fine. All of the reports I've gotten, working or not, are on L6.18 for software version. I see...

    VIP 722 OTA issues - Cedar Rapids IA

    We're getting lots of reports of issues with one of the local DT stations in our market. KCRG-DT has no 9.1 subchannel, it shows a signal strength of 0 on the meter, but 9.2 works fine. The chief engineer has triple checked his signal and can find no issues at all with PSIP, etc. The only...

    Poll, Do you have your NEW smartcards yet?

    I have 1 new card, 3 old ones. The 722 I got a month ago has the purple card, my older 622 and my 508's have not been sent new cards yet.

    Substituting 129 for 61.5 satellite

    I came here to ask the same question! I already have a Dish 300 looking at 61.5 and connected to the LNB IN on my 1000.2 I've had a LOT more dropouts and rain fade since the 1000.2 replaced my Dish 500. I would love to go back to the Dish 500 and use 61.5 instead of 129. But how? I have...

    HD Essentials - Includes ScienceHD or not?

    Done that. It was someone from the ceo address that told me the channels aren't included. The same person there had helped me before with a problem and was great about it, so I thought for sure she would get it fixed for me. No such luck. So far :mad:

    HD Essentials - Includes ScienceHD or not?

    The Dish website indicates that if I have the Dish HD Essentials package with AT250 I will receive ScienceHD and NatGeoHD, but I do not. Dish Network says those channels are only in the $20 HD Package. I've contacted the executive resolution department several times and they are not budging...

    Downgrader Warning!

    Same here. I've even talked to two different people in the Executive Office who claim that those channels belong in HD Ultimate. The website says otherwise. Look like a case of false advertising. I've been a faithful Dish sub since 1997, but this may change that.

    "moving" ? to get baseball

    Yes, I get get most, if not all of those, except for the Twins. One RSN, the others are on the alternate channels. But if I sub to the multi-rsn package then I do get most Twins games.

    "moving" ? to get baseball

    True, but only with the Multi-RSN package. Where I'm at I seem to get all of them except the Twins without the Multi-RSN. :mad:
