OP is back!!! Hmmm. I subscribed to this thread when I made the original post but didn't get any emails. I thought the thread died long ago without any responses. But it actually turned out to be quite entertaining and offers an interesting view into the mind of the slack-jawed, barefoot...

It has happened to me more than once and only recently. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this thread. I don't remember what buttons I pushed but it was at or near the end of the movies. I don't remember what recordings I lost so a restart wouldn't help. I guess I could check the available...

It's been over 6 months since I had a promo and they still said no. Pointing out their own fine print to them means nothing. They said my account will not allow the promo to be added and there is nothing they can do. I tried phone CSR and chat and they both said the same thing. I really like my...

I got Dish for the first time back in January. At the time I got Cinemax for a penny and HBO Starz for 3 months. The current HBO Showtime 3 month promotion says you are ineligible if you have had HBO as a promotion during the last 6 months. It's been longer than 6 months for me. I tried to...

Hmmmm. It also appears that if I set a recording in Slingguide, at the wrong time, it will actually record the correct show at the correct time.

I didn't notice exactly when it happened but the programming times are off by one hour when I log into Slingguide. Shows that are listed as playing right now will not actually play for another hour. I don't see anywhere to set time zones. The date and time are correct on my dvr (722). Anyone...

I wonder the same thing. The decking itself is a little loose too. I am due a new roof as soon as funds allow. After the old shingles are stripped I will reinforce the area so the dish will be solidly attached when it is reinstalled. I was surprised at how little antenna movement it took to...

My signal was also gradually decreasing to the point where I could no longer get a lock on several 129 channels. Yesterday I had a look at my roof mount and found that the lag screws securing it to the roof decking were loose and the dish had tilted back about a quarter inch. I tightened the...

Me too. I've had Dish for several months now and the last few weeks I've been having the same problem with 129. Very low signal and some channels will rarely get a signal. If I wanted to tweak my antenna should I try a up/down tweak or a left/right tweak?

Yeah, I know, I can call Dish. But I don't hang out with Dish. I hang out here :) So I order Dish from Charlie, new plasma tv, new surround system, etc. I haven't bought a tv in 15 years. Gee, things have changed a bit. It's been a couple of months and I still can hardly believe how cool this...
