Seems to me and my wife that with s238 the guide has a bit more contrast and therefore easier to read. My wife noticed this before she knew of the update so I'm thinking it's not my imagination.

Two suggestions. First is to call one of those stations that are 72 miles away and see if they can tell you what people in your area are using. Second is to go the TV Fool, enter your address info and see what's recommended. http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29

My OTA reception has become progressively worse with each software update to the point where ABC is now unwatchable with s234. I posted more info on the "Hopper OTA usb problem" thread.

My OTA reception has become progressively worse with each software update to the point where ABC is now unwatchable for me. For those interested in the details here they are. Hopefully they can give the DIRT team some useful information. I live in Salem (the Roanoke Valley) in the southwest...

Best solution I've heard of is placing a flood light just behind the dish. When snow is forecast turn it on and will keep the dish above freezing. Seems reasonable to me if you live in Minnesota or Flagstaff.

For those looking for antenna size recommendations, check out the TV Fool site: http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 You'll get lots of useful info but you have to be willing to take the time to understand the data you'll get.

I just experienced my 4th black screen today, something I never had with my 622. This tread is now 2 weeks and 104 post old with lots of speculation as to what may be causing the problem (I've read each one) and I'm disappointed that we've received no indication that DIRT has been monitoring...

G Got s230 this morning and Pandora works fine.

Still on s222 so your probably right. I'm waiting for the latest update so I can use my OTA tuner and maybe it'll fix the Pandora problem too. Interesting though that I can't find anyone else with the exiting issue regardless of which software they're on. Thanks for the reply.

Pandora Problem Have Pandora up and running just fine but whenever I exit I can't get back to watching TV without a reboot. Tech support hasn't been able to help. Pandora's screen offers 3 "exit" options: Live TV, Sign Out, and one other that I can't recall. I think I've even used the...

Ordered my tuner Tuesday afternoon and it came today. Now if the newest software would only show up I'd be in business. I've only had my hopper/joeys for about a week so don't know if that puts me at the top or bottom of the spooling. Probably doesn't matter. Interesting that Dish shipped...

Bennie, I know things are tough in this economy and people all over are doing things they wouldn't have done not long ago, but I do have one comment to make. The red flag for me was not being paid during the first month of training. A company should be more than willing to invest in their...

If you're interested in getting complete info try TV Fool for antenna needs. TV Fool I've found this site is by far the best I've seen, although wkomorow's post about placement being art and science is definitely true. I can move my antenna one foot in ether direction and loose all my OTAs...
