Tri-Cities Locals Are Back The Tri-Cities locals are back on Dish.

Dish has lost all of the locals in our market here in Tri-Cities (Northeast TN & Southwestern VA). I found out that a fiber optic cable has been cut somewhere and a number of markets including Memphis are out until Sprint can get the cable repaired. I wonder how widespread this is.

Caution on ordering DTV Pal from Dish's website. I tried this yesterday. There was no warning that Dish (or former) subscribers should not order online. After I put in the government coupon information and my credit card data and click on the final button to order, I get a message that as a...

I have had this problem for a couple of weeks. It started before I got the infamous L 5.11 software. It seems to occur at channel change. Sometimes I get an error message and sometimes it goes to the acquiring satellite mode. After about 30 seconds the channel selected will usually finally...

My WD 750 has had absolutely no problems in the 6 months that I have had it. I highly recommend it.

Does the 921 still have to be connected to a Dish (as well as an OTA antenna) to just be used to view and record OTA signals even if it is no longer an authorized receiver?

Check your HD TV. It might receive QAM. It is illegal for Comcast to encrypt the broadcast HD signals so you might be able to get the locals that way.

My distants - Atlanta ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox; LA CBS, ABC, and Fox are all gone. I saw them disappear last night about 9:30 PM EST. I was recording ABC Atlanta and it just stopped. I went to the guide and all the above distants were suddenly highlighted in red and would not come on. Suddenly...

A Good Word for the 921 I have had my 921 for several months and love it. It has not been the buggy monster that many of the early users experienced. The only problem I have seen is it occasionally goes into to stretch mode on the SD channels. This is fixed by a soft reboot. I can't see...

The Smallville problem occurred Sunday morning. The 921 did it again Monday night. I set it to record CSI Miami at 10 PM. When I got home from work Tuesday evening it was still recording and had filled the hard drive. I hit the stop button and lost the whole recording before I could watch...

Thanks everyone that posted on my query concerning the 921. I got mine installed last Friday and have really enjoyed it so far. The PQ is not quite as good as my 811 which I still have operational so I can compare but the ability to pause and time shift more than make up for the slight PQ...

I am considering purchasing a 921 DVR. I have read the various threads on it but most of them are quite old. What is the current status of the 921's software and reliability? I would be using it to record quite a bit of OTA HD programs and some other HD & SD programs. I prefer to own the...

i do not have the 921 yet. I am using an 811 and the A-B switch has worked fine. I have to do a check switch when changing from A to B and vice versa. Does only one of the 921 inputs provide LNB power? If that is the case then the DP+44 switch is the only option.

I have a Superdish that has local channels as well as my AT 120 and HD packages. I also still have a separate regular size dish that has a wing dish combined with for 62.5 (for WCBS-HD). I have had the two systems running thru an A-B switch until now. My question for the experts is will I be...

By July 1st of this year the ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox stations in Sacramento (and in all other top 100 tv markets) will be required to be at full-power. This summer will be the time to try to pull in those signals with your antenna and pre-amp.
