    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    No, I do not have an antenna, I have the Dish "Local Channels" package. KCRG 9.3 CW is on channel 020-00. I don't think 9.2 is included.

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    It sounds like it just got fixed. I'm watching Roswell, New Mexico, and the problem was initially there, but stopped after about a minute or two.

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    Seven years is impressive. I've seen the occasional screw up on the local channels, like a window-boxed picture or things like that, but usually that is fixed within a few hours, or a day at most.

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    Thanks for the suggestion, I've cross posted it to AVSforum. Before contacting DISH/KCRG, I'm looking to get some confirmation of someone else with the issue first so that I at least have some evidence that it's not something with my equipment. Without that, the cynic in me would expect that...

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    A number of shows on this channel have had this issue. Currently I don't have OTA, it's Dish local. I've had this happened on: Monday: Roswell, New Mexico The Republic of Sarah Tuesday: Star Girl Superman & Lois Wednesday: In the Dark. Thursday: The Outpost. Sunday: Legends of...

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    Can anyone confirm that KCRG 9.3 CW as of late is essentially only mixing the center channel, and the surround left channel? And surround left appears to be a copy of the center channel. It was working without issue, until sometime last week. I can't imagine that this is something on my end. It...

    They were able to spawn a completely new satellite? :eek:

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I'm sure they're just running Windows updates on 129 and rebooting it right?

    DISH Remote Access being replaced by DISH Online?

    Is there no conflict management of events? DRA and my 622 itself both show conflicts but I don't see an interface in DO to handle this. In DO I see "Recordings" and "Scheduled", but I don't see the word conflict anywhere. DRA's conflict handling isn't brilliant, the grouping of multiple...

    What would you do?

    It's a lot smaller than a transit.

    What would you do?

    In Europe you see a lot of this type of vehicle for commercial applications: Light_commercial_vehicle I don't know for sure, but I think these things get similar mileage and have a bit more professional look.

    Why ssuch a low tmer limit?

    I would agree with that if I thought that the slowdown was linear, however from what I can tell the performance degradation is non-linear. For example if you only have 1 timer and you add 1, you experience some performance loss. However if you have 95 timers and you add 1, you experience many...

    Why ssuch a low tmer limit?

    It is much more likely that the limit is there for performance considerations rather than memory use. The memory needed to store 96 timers and 576 events shouldn't be much more than a few hundred kilobytes, I'd be surprised if it's more than one megabyte. When you do get to 96 times or 576...

    Two questions about setting Manual Timers

    Yes, just set one (or both) of the events to something other than the 1 minute early / 3 minutes late settings. For example, set the Daily Show to start 1 minute early and 5 minutes late. That should cause the Colbert Report to switch from TV2 to TV1. Alternatively, you could set the Colbert...

    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    Well right, I have my HDTV, A/V receiver, PS3, internet equipment and NAS hooked up to it as well in an equipment rack (see here). Obviously there are cheaper options for this sort of thing as well. The main reason I bought it was to not lose recordings during power outages / hiccups, but I was...
