    HD locals via OTA and HD locals via satellite.....

    The SD channel shows up as 008-00 and the HD shows up as 008-00 but also has the HD next to it. The OTA's show up as 008-01 and are yellow. I have a custom guide with the SD's deleted so I don't accidentally watch SD.

    HD locals via OTA and HD locals via satellite.....

    I just had a wing dish installed Monday pointed at 61.5 and it is just as you suspect. I now have my locals in HD along with my OTA's in yellow. I can record 3 locals at the same time now.

    Is there a charge for adding a wing dish if I already have the HD only package with locals?

    Fsn Detroit Hd

    Yeah mine is too. It has been for at least several weeks during redwing games. At least its not a factor during the game, but it makes intermission hard to watch.

    Is cancellation's normal?

    My install was set for today between 8-12. The installer called last night to verify I would be home. Yes, I said, I will be here. Today he calls at 10am and says he doesn't have the proper equipment for the install(722) and reschedules for next Saturday. It's not that cold out today.

    DVR 522 Dial out

    I have Vonage and had the same problem. I put a DSL filter in and the problem was gone. I've also heard the bandwidth setting must be on high.

    522 Switch Test Failed

    It was the receiver. I took farmsatguy's advice on the warranty and they came out this morning and they had a box with them. Thanks again for all suggestions and advice.

    522 Switch Test Failed

    Well, I tried one more thing. I removed the cable from sat 2 input and now TV1 works. Then I took the other cable and put it on sat 1 and it does not work. This leads me to think there is one cable coming from the dish that has no signal. When I put the "good" cable on sat 2 input only and...

    522 Switch Test Failed

    I tried the unplug-reboot several times-no change. So if I have a dish guy come out, and he determines its the box, will he have a replacement receiver with him or will that have to be shipped out? Thanks for all the suggestions.

    522 Switch Test Failed

    I swapped the cables on the back of the box and it still reports an error on sat 2. I dosconnected the cable from sat 2 and now TV1 works. Still a switch?

    522 Switch Test Failed

    My 522 had the "aquiring signal" screen up and it failed to get a signal. It had me do a switch test and it failed on sat 2. Dish Network wants to send a guy out for $99(yikes). Does it appear that I need a new LNB? Thanks
