Am losing OTA with a screen showing signal lost, contact your local station error 739. A power button reboot goes into endless locked reboots. The hard reboot brings everything back for a hour or so until the locals once again disappear. Only affect OTA, but when they are gone, everything slows...

Have had a couple times when I lost connection to the hard drive. Once, even though the usb cable hadn't moved, replacing it worked. The other time, pulled the usb out of the back connection and put it in the front usb and for some reason, that worked. I don't leave the power to the drive on...

Received the most recent letter stating they were going to automatically start charging for Cinemax. I went online and tried to remove it, and it showed a $5 fee. Called customer service and they said the $5 fee was if you called customer service, if you did it on the internet it would be a...

Just wondering if any confirmation or news about MSNBC HiDef hitting their projected June 29th date and whether we will get it ????

Had a $7 increase in February, called in and they came up with a $5 for 10 month reduction, pretty reasonable from my perspective....

Had a WD 500 gig for 16 months and it just crashed. It was on all the time. Just bought a 1 TB Seagate for $150, copied the computer info from a smaller Seagate and put it on the Dish and kept the bigger one on the computer. Even though I formatted the Dish bound drive first, it reformatted...

What's going on with this DTV Pal???? I ordered two by phone on 8/28 as online would only allow you to buy one and referred a number to call. After repeating information over and over, especially the codes from the coupons, and security codes, I was finally told they would be shipped in about...

Meanwhile, the competition gets hi tech in customer issues.... Perhaps they might follow the lead of a competitor who obviously is interested in keeping "an ear" to the consumer market by means of the employing technology already out there. Have been through the original Voom crash and burn...

Wonder the chance (fat or slim?) of having a combination of the $9.99 essential package and one of the constantly changing hi def packages? Ok, have been one of the early optimists since we watched the original VOOM go through it's struggles, and that was before most of the national feeds we...

And, if you go way back, the original selling point of cable was.. NO ADS... and $12 a month seemed pretty good.........................watching the fight Saturday night on HBO, I kept expecting a commercial to come popping in....and anyone every timed the commercials on any of the wrestling...

Friday night "Smackdown" looked great in HD over the local Chicago station. Hope E gets their USA deal done for the February launch with the new priced HD packages.

audio dropouts Have noticed the same, particularly on Chicago channel 2, which I know is weak out in the burbs.....but had a Heroes last week with no audio and that's a different channel... did a full reboot and rescanned locals, but audio still drops out now and then between the satellite...

thanks scott...don't use video on demand but guessing it is part of the background download. it is a 622 btw

On turn on this morning, that was the message! The only option it gave was to hit the select button and it said ALL the information on my hard drive would be ELIMINATED! No other options. Hit the select, it rebooted, and all the shows were still there. What's up with this?

try the 720 option...it might sync better
