    What's A 10ft Dish Worth For Scrap?

    I had a 10.5 perforated aluminum dish that I had disassembled and took to the scrap dealer and got $75.00 for it. This was about 4 years ago so metal prices might not be the same.

    Poor HD Picture

    Sounds like the picture issue is slowly resolved. I would suggest trying a VIP 722 in place of the Hopper and check PQ from that receiver.

    OTA question. (METV update)

    I have explained this problem in the past but here goes again channel 10 in Portland Or. lists 10.1,10.2 and 10.3 on the guide. 10.1 and 10.2 list the same programming however 10.2 has different programming. Why can't Dish get this right it has been this way for over a year.

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    I wrote this comment in another thread but I will repeat it here. The PBS station in Portland, Or. KOPB displays four OTA digital channels on the Dish Network Guide 10-1,10-2.10-3 and 10-4. 10-1 and 10-2 show the same programing on the Guide however the programing is not the same. I have...

    Best/Worst subchannel in your market

    This is probably not the correct forum to bring this up however here goes. The PBS station in Portland Or. KOPB channel 10 has 4 ota channels listed on the Dish Network Guide 10-1,10-2,10-3, and 10-4. For over a year now in the guide 10-1 and 10-2 list the same programing when in fact the...

    Upgrading and Confused ... DVR510 on DP 500 -to- ViP622 with HD

    You should get a whole new system from Dish. Dish, receiver and cable in other words the whole nine yards. You can cobble a system together by replacing your LNB with a dish pro plus and a single LNB on a separate antenna to get 129and while this will work you will be much happier with a brand...

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    For several months now maybe as long as a year the PBS locals in Portland Ore. have listed the same info for channels KOPB 10-1 and 10-2 when 10-2 has different programing.

    OTA Update?

    Getting the OTA signals integrated to my 722K is very important to me. I would never consider the new Hopper system if i couldn't pump my locals through it.

    Think I have just about had enough with this 722k

    I have had the same problem with my 722k locking up and I have to reboot then all is well. Then about a week ago I went to single mode instead of duel and it hasn't misbehaved since.

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    The PBS station in Portland Or is listed on Dish network as having the same content on 10-1 and 10-2 O.T.A. The programing on 10-2 is different. This makes it impossible to record from 10-2 because of different timing and not knowing the content of 10-2. This has been the case for several months.

    Enough With the Unwanted Phone Calls- Is My Only Way Out to Quit Dish?

    This seems like much ado about nothing. Just pay the damn bill a couple days early and the won't call anymore and you will be relieved of the stress. Get over it for crying out loud.

    EHD for 211K?

    I have three WD external hard drives on my receivers and have never had a problem with any of them. You can only go up to a 1 tb drive on a 211k.
