    Losing signal clear sky

    I live in Houston. Tonight we are trying to watch 176 and 171. We keep losing the signal about every two minutes. There is not a cloud in the sky. Anyone else having a problem?

    Turning on subtitles/cc with one button?

    I agree. It would be nice to have a single button on the remote for this. I have a $25 dvd player that has a single button on the remote and I can toggle cc off and on for a dvd.

    Houston Rockets win 22th consecutive game

    Anyone know what Dish channel to game against the Bobcats will be on tonight? Houston paper says FSNH. I do not see it listed on Fox SW or any other channel in my guide.

    Blank TV2 Screen

    I am having the same problem. The picture will first freeze on the 222 and then when I change the channel to try and get it back the screen goes black and only get audio on both televisions. A reboot solves the problem but have to do this almost daily now. Guess I will be calling dish to try...

    They told me everything was free!!

    This is a sore subject with me, Mr. Dish customer. I told them I needed two hookups in my two front bedrooms that were not wired with coax. They said no problem, the guy will install those as part of our install service. Installer shows up, tells me he can only do it from an outside wall...

    No OTA signal with 722

    I have my ota hooked up directly to the television. I get the locals in my area but have that as a backup for when I lose the signal in a storm. I tried hooking the ota up to my 722 also and had the same problem. Never could find the ota channels through the 722. Tried it through the 222 and...

    Slow motion jerky video on 722

    I have had to reboot my 722 twice. Starting the last two days the video on many channels will be jerky and look like slow motion. The audio on those channels is fine. The analog tv that is running off of the 722 is fine on those channels. When I reboot it fixes the problem. Any idea what...

    Wireless Surround Speakers

    I set up the kef 2005.2 system last week. I have wood floors, doorways between the front and back walls and did not want to have to pull wire through the walls and attic. I bought the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker module from Best Buy. $99 bucks and if it did not work I have 30 days to...

    Returning customer - no love

    I guess ZERO is on the Dish payroll after reading his replys. ZERO, you wil be upset to know that I got an offer from Dish in the mail since I posted this thread begging me to come back and offering the new customer deal, even though "I jumped ship" previously and went to a competitor. Get...

    Returning customer - no love

    I didn't mean to start a girl fight when I asked the original question!:p All I want from Dish is to get the HD DVR without the $199 fee. I will be signing up for the HD package with the 250's and my locals. As an above poster noted I will most likely be a customer for a long time. I...

    Returning customer - no love

    Well your wrong. They had my credit card number and auto billed me each month. I guess I just got a pisshead customer service rep. How much sense does it make to run a company like this and you allow the people that answer the phone to make their own decisions?

    Returning customer - no love

    I will give that a shot. Seems ridiculous that I have to be sneaky just to get signed back up as a new customer. If Dish had more competition and they acted like this they would be out of business.

    Returning customer - no love

    I switched from Dish to TW 14 months ago. After having Dish for 7 years they would not let me bundle my Dish with my ATT because that was only for new customers. After a long discussion the Dish rep more or less told me they did not care if I left so I cancelled. Got a great TW deal for the...

    Al Gore's "Current TV" Channel on Dish?

    When Dish adds that I go somewhere else. There are already enough shopping channels, and other crap using up bandwidth. How about getting us a full package of HD channels, including locals.
