Can anyone explain to a layman why dish has the PIT channels on 77 but not available I cant get 129 but cant switch to EA and keep my locals either (on 118.7). I am starting to get a little frustrated at the catch 22 that dish has me in here.... with 61.5 wing I could get all the HD now that...

Are the pittsburgh channels on 129 also?

I have a 61.5/110/118.7/119 setup. would it be possible to swing the 61.5 (500) to get 72 and thus the new HD and retain all my programming in the pittsburgh DMA ? If this is not possible what are the options EA?

Does the renaming of the EHD to "my media" have anything to do with the sling tie in as the new sling catcher has a streaming feature also cunningly titled "my media" ??

Appears that SlingPlayer 2.0 is official Sling Media Downloads - SlingPlayer Desktop

The ribbon is a feature of Office 2007 not Vista.... two separate products Personally I have to say after using Vista for about 15 months I would not go back to XP. My wife has a laptop running XP and I much prefer Vista's interface now I have been working with it for a while. I have three...

Well tried all suggestions except for the home run from dish to receiver and no success, one additional thing I noticed this evening when in the check switch screen it does say under status is says reception verified but nothing under the switch section. I don't know if this is any help...

tried bypassing the diplexers and still getting the same problem.... i guess i will try the separator and see where that gets me.....

Thanks Webby I'll take a look this evening and see if I can get at the diplexers outside, just out of curiosity how much do diplexors tend to cost? I have a service call under Dish Home Protection in for Thursday however I am willing cancel and do a bit of DIY if it doesn't get too expensive :)

Would a bad diplexor provide a snowy picture on TV2? Prior to running the checkswitch after reattaching the equipment and realizing there was a problem, I had picture on TV2 (MSNBC if I remember) it was terribly static/snowy (not very technical I know) looking.

Thanks jpmarto, would bypassing the seperator (if it is bad) solve this? I know that it is a no-no to by pass the power inserter but 'can' it be done for the sake of trouble shooting..... Again I am running only one receiver (two tuners, vip622 in dual).

I'll give these suggestions a try this evening, thanks again for all the suggestions I'll let you know the outcome..... This is a great/helpful/friendly community here :)

not a dumb question as I have been known to be dumb before.... I am assuming that it is and will verify in the morning, the reason I am assuming is that it worked prior to disconnecting....
