All, I am thinking of subscribing to Dish again, after being a non-subscriber for several years. My head is spinning trying to figure out what Dish will install, so that I can be prepared for the install (and to make sure that I won't be in for a difficult time should I buy another TV soon)...

I read in the paper that Comcast has bought the franchise rights to the City of Charlottesville, VA. (How Comcastic!) That's great and all, and while I have a Charlottesville mailing address, I am actually in Albemarle County. Does anyone know who got the franchise rights in the county...

My 721 receiver automatically took the L177 software download sometime late last week, I presume Friday night. Before that time, my receiver had been working fine and had not needed or been hard reset for several weeks. Yesterday morning, the power went out. It was a very clean power outage...

I was just on the phone with E* for an unrelated problem when the tech support agent got a pop-up on her screen. She asked me if I was in the Tri Cities TN/VA DMA, which I am not. If you are in this DMA and are having a problem with your locals, and you choose to call E*, they are asking...

I still haven't decided which receiver I want, but I may hold off for another reason: I have come to realize that I may have no line of sight to 61.5, so it looks like the Voom Pack may be out. How many HD channels, without buying any premiums, would I be able to enjoy? (That is, which HD...

All, I have a Sony KV-27HS420 HD-Ready TV to which I would like to connect an HD receiver. (It's CRT-based, 4:3 aspect ratio, and has both an HDMI input and HD-component inputs.) I'd like to get an HD receiver for this TV, but don't want to spend a lot... at least not on this TV, and at least...

I had a co-worker that recently signed up for cable with Adelphia in Charlottesville, VA and was told that they had HD. After they hooked up his cable and left him with the HD cable box, he discovered that Adelphia in our area has no HD. Well, I gave Adelphia a call the other night, and asked...

Charlottesville locals are still on TP17. I'm holding at a 62 signal strength. I am having a problem that started Thursday night. Every so often, I will briefly lose reception from 105, or the image will briefly pixelate. This lasts about 1-2 seconds each time it happens, and it happens about...

After my "new" 721 downloaded L175, I lost the 105 satellite. After running a check switch, everything seems to be OK. Have new software releases always required re-running a check switch?

It appears as if you will receive a new card eventually. (http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=64032) Call Sky Angel and update your address.

I received the update within days of its release. (Not sure of the exact day.) I do know that I got the update a day or two before my 721 reported its first "your hard drive has failed" error. I'm hoping the timing was purely coincidental.

My Bad... And I've had it so much with my Dish 721 DVR receiver, I accidently put this thread in the DirecTV DVR Forum. Would someone please move this thread! :shocked

I've just about had it with my 721 receiver. Last month, one of the tuners failed and the receiver had to be replaced. Now, less than a month later, the receiver has reported that the hard disk has failed twice within a week. And the only reason the CSR set up a return was because it would...

You want to make sure you have a cleaner that does not contain alcohol or ammonia. Have you ever tried Klear Screen?
