    WGN

    WGN not showing the sports outside of Chicago really is bad for me. I live 125 miles south in Champaign, IL. I no longer get WGN local on Dish, so I don't get Bulls, Blackhawks, or White Sox games when they are on WGN. If I subscribe to an NHL, NBA, or MLB package I still don't get those...

    when did s221 come out ?

    Ok, so I"m watching tv on my hopper here at 1:40 in the morning. Picture goes blank, hopper tries to start up a few times but to no avail. I'm too tired to get up so I just lay in bed and observe. A screen comes up mentioning important updates and the green download bar loads. Then a screen...

    autohop when watching ptat between hoppers

    This has probably been mentioned, but I couldn't find it. If hopper 1 records ptat, and the next day I watch on hopper 2 I get the "use autohop question" but then the show doesn't autohop. Minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but I was curious if that is how it is now and if a...

    Safe to hook phone cord to hopper ?

    Today at the end of my install the tech recommended that I not hook the phone line to the hopper, as he said even if there is a small power surge through the phone line the hoppers have shown to be very sensitive to this and are easily damaged. i can actually run my phone line through my surge...

    Just to put this thread to bed: There were come cables with corrosion connected to the dish. The tech also replaced the ground box. Good as new.

    Cancel the service call ?

    Ok, so I cancelled the service call for this morning as I had a signal last night................I wake up this morning, and NO SIGNAL again, just stuck on 0/5 progress in acquiring satellite signal. Good grief ! With my limited knowledge I wonder if it is the lnb or a switch ? Now I need...

    Cancel the service call ?

    I did do the power cord reboot yesterday. Maybe it was the nightly reboot. I was gone today at a college football game, so I hadn't tried the tv.

    Cancel the service call ?

    That's what is odd, the weather was great. My connections were all fine, and all my neighbors with Dish had no signal loss problems. When I have lost the signal before for weather, its brief. This was a day and a half...................I think you are right though, I am going to cancel the...
