Mine has been doing this a lot lately. I have it set to record only the new episodes of The Soup, but it will record every single time it airs. I have like 20 of them on there now in the last week, because E rebroadcasts it so often. It's annoying, and just started doing this within the...

Same Here, Komo isn't even worth the hassel of canceling service and then subscribing with someone else. I only watch 2 shows on ABC, Lost and Scrubs. I'm just recording them at a friends house, and will watch them later.

Just curious, has ABC said anything about this dispute? It affects them too, since now all people in those areas won't be watching their prime time lineup, and watching other channels instead. Just last night the new season of scrubs aired, and I couldn't watch it on KOMO. Seems like ABC...

There better not be a fee, that was the whole reason why I got a 508 was because of no fee. If they add one, I'll just cancel my service with them.

Ya no kidding, even when they did the free previews of the other channels. Most of the time it was the same movies that I got on Encore. Or some movie from 1982, that nobody watched back then. I got so tired of paying the extra $20 a month for that, and the last price increase was the...

When I first heard about the next round or price increases, I dropped my 180 down to 60. Then signed up for netflix the same day, and can now actually choose the movies I want to see, instead of seeing the same 4 that encore and the movie channel played everyday

I really feel that Dish wants to destroy as many as these DVR FEE FREE receivers as they can. They keep releasing 'updates' that do more harm then good. I really am starting to think they feel they need to get these units out of circulation, before MPEG-4. They know if there are a bunch of...

well, looks like the unit is a piece of dookey. still acting up in the other room too. So since I own this, is there anything I can do? Little ticked that it didn't last even long enough to get all the credits back.

Before calling, I'm going to install it i the other room and see if works there. it's really weird, it just doesn't want to lock on to 110. It jumps all over the place, so hoping that installing it in the other room and it works. Then I know that maybe there is a bad wire or something. I own...

Even if I normally turn it 'off' it's still on doing stuff?

I'll give that a try, but if that doesn't fix it, then this unit only lasted about 2 years. That's pretty sad, especially since I only watch maybe a few hours a week with this unit. I would just buy another 508, but when I signed up with dish I got that free for all(I think that's what it's...

OK, got it to power back up now. I held the power button down for about 10 seconds, and it rebooted. But it still seems to be acting up. For sat 110 it says it's only getting a signal strength of around 82 or so. Is that right?

OK, this started last night and I'm not sure what's going on now. As I was trying to watch TV, the picture would go out and the 'acquiring satellite' message would appear. Then the picture would come back, and then out again. I went into the menu, and under diagnosis it said something...

I just downgraded to the AT60. By the way, you can do it via email if anyone was wondering!! So that's about $20 that Dish won't be seeing from me each month now. In the past when I was with cable, I used to just get mad but never did anything with the increases. But now that I'm with dish...

I'm also ticked that there is no way to downgrade your programming via the website. Upgrading, sure no problem. Oh you want to downgrade, well we'll need you to 'talk' to one of our CSR's for that.
