I've got to completely agree with this and add to it. I buy salvage TVs for parts. Some of these have been tossed around, put in piles, damaged in every way imaginable. Despite all of this, I find that unless the plasma panel has been shattered, I can typically find the bad part, replace, and...

The other issue with using a customers router to run a Joey wirelessly is you clog up their home network and many older 'G' routers can't even handle an HD stream. I'm running a Joey wirelessly in my son's room with one of Dish's USB adapters and had to upgrade my wireless router to keep if...

Does the receiver have a smartcard in the card slot or is it internal? If it's got a card, pull the card out, clean the contacts, and re-insert. If it's internal then the receiver is probably going to need to be replaced due to a bad connection with the smart card inside. This would be my...

This could also just be coincidence that it happened after an update and may actually be a failing hard drive. Just a thought.

Hey, what's that sound. Everybody look what's going down. Beat me to it Scott.

I was curious as to how long it took people to get the ipad after the 3rd referral? Anyone that's received one want to chime in? My 3rd referral will be getting installed on Saturday. Thanks in advance!

Pull the card out, wipe the contacts, and re-insert. It sounds to me like the receiver is reading the old internal chip in the receiver instead of the smart card.

Agreed. Looks like a horrible job. And why they would wrap the cable around the mast like that is beyond me as well.

If you have a clear view farther to the west using your current dish location I'd go with western arc since you have the dish pointing in that direction already. If you are wide open to the southeast, I find the 1000.2 with the DPP Twin easier to aim from an install standpoint. You will also...

Maybe I'm thinking wrong here and I've never used one but seems that an HDMI to component connection would be more complicate than a simple cable. You're going from digital to analog.

I use two of these to share my neighbors wireless across the street and through two brick walls. One installed at his house and one at mine. Both inside with the stock antennas with only about a 25% loss in speed which I'd consider quite good given the fact that I'm using the 2nd one as a DHCP...

Oops, didn't mean to press the big red one.

I've been hearing from customers daily on this here. Wish someone would come to terms and end the saga. This is the 2nd time in 3 months everyone has been without a channel here (We were involved in the Raycom fiasco this summer). Anyway, it's making everything thing long and hard about...
