Hi. I have a hopper with sling with an ota module, which I got back in march. It's worked fine up until now. Every day my ota channels disappear from the guide. I unplug the module and plug it back in then restart the hopper. The ota channels come back and it's fine the rest of the night but the...

With a new Star Wars animated series coming and likely to be on DisneyXD, I seriously hope we get those HD channels back. Otherwise, I won't be watching and will wait for the Blu-Ray.

I am also having exactly the same issue. I have a Hopper with Sling. Getting "SlingPlayer has crashed" error message when it's trying to play a recording or live TV from the Hopper. Using the latest versions of FF, Chrome, and IE -- no luck.

Hi everyone. I live in Indy, and recently lost WTHR. I've thought about "moving" to Terre Haute in order to get their locals, but I'd actually rather "move" to Dayton so that I can watch Bengals games. (I'm originally from there :).) I'm not sure if I'm in the spotbeam for that, though...

I'm interested in upgrading to a hopper and 3 joeys from a 722 and 622. We're building a new house, which should be done in Feb 2013, which is when we'd upgrade. But I need to figure out the pre-wire for satellite TV now so I can have the wiring correct for the install after we close. Thx.

WTTV is available. I live in Indy, and I have it in both SD and HD.

I thought that, too, but I guess I was more impressed with the fact that the guy at the other shop was willing to meet the guy halfway to deliver the part to shorten the repair time. Anyway, wasn't a big deal, and still a positive experience.

No, I have the maintenance plan. They said it would be $15 for the call.

Last night, I called Dish tech support because I wasn't getting 119. After a few obligatory tests, they scheduled someone to come out first thing this morning. The repair guy (David) arrived at 8:15 and within 15 minutes diagnosed a bad port on one of the LNBs. He didn't have the part with him...

This is a fantastic contest! Thanks for offering a great prize! The reason I'm interested in FTA is mainly for the international programming. I currently have Dish, and I subscribe to the Chinese language package for my wife and her parents. Her parents live with us because of various medical...

Do Turbo HD subs get the standard def versions of the HD channels, too? I think my dad does (he's in Turbo HD Silver). If so, maybe Dish is counting those.

I'm sure they'll launch the new channels. But they'll just be slides that say, "April Fools!" And they'll be stretched, not 16x9. :D

Yay, Indy locals (most of them). Also, WTTV (the CW affiliate here) is uplinked.

I had two sets of locals for a while. I "moved" to Denver to get HD locals, but the csr never removed Indy locals. So I had both for a year or so. Then, recently, Denver went spotbeam, so I called them to remove Denver from my package. It was no big deal; actually, they apologized for the...

I'd like to know where the info is coming from, as well. If it's from an installer, in my experience, they're not always the best source of up to date info. A few years ago, when I had an installer set me up with HD from Dish, he told me Indy HD locals were coming within a month. Well, three...
