    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    The workaround is to lookup the program info for 10-2 on Zap2it.com which is correct. Then set up a manual timer for the program you want on 10-2. It will have the wrong name because the dish guide is wrong, but you will get the program you want. Just remember that when you look for it in My...

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    Does anyone know a path to connect to the people who actually manage the database at Dish? In the example I have given for the PBS substations and antennaTV in Norfolk, Tribune clearly has the correct info on their online Zap2it guide. Since we believe Dish is getting their guide info from...

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    Norfolk, VA (don't know DMA #) 15.01 WHRO displays correct info 15.02 WORL displays duplicate of 15.01 info (actual programming is correct, just the guide info is wrong) 15.03 displays correct info. By the way, the channel guide at Zap2it (Tribune) is correct for these channels. Reported...

    Which remotes support the backup/restore function with a 722k?

    Upgrading service myself

    I didn't select the Continue option. Since the remote IS working with the receiver I didn't want to risk changing anything. I just want to see how the Backup thing works.

    Upgrading service myself

    The remote is a 21.0 that came with my 722K about 3 months ago. There is no number on the message. It says System Wizard at the top, then a box with the text I summarized before and on the right are 3 buttons - Continue, Cancel and Help, but Help is greyed out. No Advanced button.

    Upgrading service myself

    I do not see these options when I activate the system wizard. I do not see it refered to in the 21.0 manual linked here. I have a 722K with a 21.0.

    Adding a timer at Dishonline

    I added timers to one of my receivers about 2 hours ago. They don't show up on Dishonline/MyTimers. Tried refreshing. Went to the receiver itself and the timers do not show up in the schedule. Does it take a long time for online timers to show up? what am I missing?

    How to enter sub channel number

    In the Dishpass options there is a screen to enter a specific channel number for the timer. How do you enter an OTA sub channel number, for example 15.01, 15.02, etc. I can't see how to enter the decimal point. Same is true for tuning to a channel from the keypad. There is no way I can see to...

    Can I make 2 remotes both control TV1?

    Do I understand correctly? 722k can be set up to allow TV1 to be controlled by both IR and UHF at the same time? Does the 612 also allow this?

    Set DVR timer online with 211k or 612

    Can DVR timers be scheduled at Dishnetwork.com using the 211K with EHD? What about the 612. Could not find the answer to this. I apologize if it has been asked and answered.

    Switching to Dish - seeking advice on choosing DVR's

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I think for me, the 612's will worth the extra cost. 2 sat tuners to avoid timer conflicts and the ability to swap EHD's with all units in the house. Thanks for the help. This site is sure a great resource.
