    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    Somewhat related question...I'm thinking about "moving" from Louisville to Cleveland or Columbus. I get a lock on 129 for both and the signal strength is green and about 43. Is this good enough?

    Why no Columbus OH WBNS (CBS Ch 10) HD (and PBS too)?

    When Louisville got HD a couple months ago it came without Fox. It was only a couple weeks after that we got Fox in HD as well. This thread is relevant to me as I'm probably going to "move" to Columbus for the OSU/Browns games in fall and the Browns are probably going to be on CBS.

    They will probably just put in a wingdish anyways instead of the 1000.4 (which is what I wanted and they wouldn't give me) for the 77. Since it won't need to be in the same location as the others maybe they can find a sweet spot on the other side of the house or in one of the trees (lol) or...

    Did I get a bad 722?

    I upgraded to a 722 from a 622 about a month ago. I've been having trouble with the 722 freezing on the menu/dvr screen and rebooting. It also seems to reboot if all three tuners launch (TV1, TV2, OTA) recordings at the same time. I didn't run into any of these issues with my 622 so I'm...

    Dish Absolute and New HD

    I have Absolute and got CI and BET. I also have Showtime and got the new HD for those as well (but that's to be expected). I do not have Fox News or Business though. We'll see what happens at the end of the month.

    Can "DISHn It Up" Be Used to Replace Bad Receiver?

    It probably helps if you are out of contract. . .My 622 fried. I could watch TV on the tuners but nothing hard-drive related. Had to email CEO three times. Finally got a call. I was able to upgrade to 722 w/free install, HBO/Show for 3 months, and $10 off my bill for 20 months (I wanted 24...

    Louisville HD Locals install. Should I have been charged?

    I chatted online with a tech to get Louisville HD locals installed a week or so after they became available. They put in a wingdish. I subscribed to locals previously even though they weren't in HD. Just saw my bill and got a $99 install charge. Should I have been charged for this?

    Louisville, KY HD locals

    My experience -- I have a 1000.2 dish @ 110, 119, 129 locations to a Vip-622 and I've upgraded the smart card. I go online and talk to a tech rep and ask for someone to come out and upgrade my dish to 1000.4 and put me on EA so I can get Louisville locals. Tech says sorry, EA is only for new...

    Looks like Louisville/Lexington is going to get HD locals soon. I didn't think this was on the list for this year. Woot!

    Columbus HD locals

    They aren't on the list at the moment (neither is Louisville, Indy, Cinci, Dayton, Youngstown, Charleston). Your best bet is to "move" to Cleveland.

    Where can I "move" from Charleston WV and get HD locals

    You may be able to get Nashville. Not sure of transponder map. Cleveland is also a possibility. And Memphis just went live.

    Premium Channel Question

    Showtime has several great series going at the moment. Better than HBO in many respects.

    Do you ever use "On Demand"?

    I don't understand why they don't offer On-Demand for HBO/Showtime and the premiums. I can get this through my local cable company.
