    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    Were commercial accounts blacked out as well? I stay in a lot of hotels where DISH is the "head end". Several bars/restaurants I have been to have DISH as well... One would think contracts are in place to guarantee channel availability for commercial accounts. A sports bar without ESPN would...

    Upgrade required for continued reception of some International Channels...?

    Called DISH to get some answers. Correct, the letter is a legit DISH letter... They told me what is happening is some of these channels are now only going to be available via "IPLL" which is IP Live Linear delivery. This, of course, requires the receiver(s) (Hopper) be connected to a high...

    Upgrade required for continued reception of some International Channels...?

    A family member received this letter last week (attached)... Does anyone have any details on this? Family member has VIP211k's with a 110, 118, 119, 129 dish. They would like to keep using the 211k's because they are used to the easy to use basic interface and utilize the OTA tuner. I'm not...

    The latest Yahoo! schedule says the OSU at Northwestern game (10/18) is on FS1. Unfortunately this dispute involves FS1 and BTN, so you are still out of luck...

    Fox Blocks Millions of DISH Customers

    You will not have to worry too much about missing a Buckeyes game on BTN... Because OSU is so successful and popular many games are on bigger networks (for example tonights game OSU @ Neb is on OTA ABC).

    Fox Blocks Millions of DISH Customers

    One option I would recommend is a grey market Canadian DBS subscription. The only caveat is you have to be in the sat footprint. BellTV is pretty good, it is almost identical to DISH (receiver, EPG, remote, etc.) Benefits of a BellTV sub: USA/CAN exchange rate is pretty good right now (has...

    Transfering data to new VIP211 EHD...

    To my knowledge the data on the EHD is encrypted and can only be decrypted when connected to the VIP211 with the proper keys to decrypt/view the files. The content owners should not have a problem with copying the data from one device to another. "Question to you, why not you just use the 2T...

    Transfering data to new VIP211 EHD...

    I recently upgraded my VIP211 EHD to a new 2TB Western Digital. The old 1TB EHD still has all the DISH data on it. I want to get all the recorded shows/movies transferred from my old 1TB EHD to my new 2TB EHD. After I connected my new 2TB EHD to the VIP211 and let in format I disconnected...

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    This problem is now FIXED!!! When performing a channel scan the WMOW channels now scan in with virtual channel 4 and load into the receiver properly. I am not sure if this was fixed on Dishnetwork's end or the OTA broadcasters end, it would be interesting to know what the problem was. Either...

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    Here is the response I got from the engineer at the TV station: We have had reports of somewhat similar problems in the past. Our experience tells us that the situation is probably caused by one of two things. To try to answer your questions I must first state a bit of history. In the days...

    Dish VIP211k and Choice Select IR Extender Kit?

    I have tried to obtain a DISH IR to UHF extender, but so far I have been unable to find one. I have also tried the Next Generation remote extender kit and discovered the battery only lasts about 1 month! One month for a remote battery is kind of ridiculous! Every time the remote would...

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    I have tried a hard reset of the VIP211k several times. I have a Winegard HD7698P connected to the 8VSB port on my 211k, so yes the HD7698P covers VHF RF channel 12. I am getting a signal strength of 86 from VHF RF channel 12 (see pictures above). The WAOW/WMOW engineer is on vacation until...

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    The engineer for WAOW/WMOW is on vacation until next week. I will try him when he gets back. I tried the scan with my Hauppauge USB ATSC/8VSB TV Tuner and I got: 12.1 WJFW-DT RF Channel 16 12.2 WJFW-DT RF Channel 16 4.1 WMOW-CW RF Channel 12 4.2 WMOW-DT RF Channel 12 4.3 THIS-TV...

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    WMOW is broadcast on RF channel 12 WJFW is broadcast on RF Channel 16 WJFW used to be RF channel 12 before with digital switch, that is why it comes up as virtual 12-1, 12-2. On the Zenith DTT901 digital converter box it scans RF channel 16 (WJFW) as 12-1, 12-2 (Same as DTVPal) and RF...
