All is well. After contacting CS again this weekend, they reset my HD channels, and everything is fine. Just curious as to why they could do this the first time I called them. At that time, they said they refreshed my receivers, but that didn't work, which led to me posting here.

Just called, and they refreshed my HD. I'm at work, so I will have to wait till I get home to check. Thanks all.

Checked my signal strength last night, and I'm getting Zero's on some of the transponders from the 99 Satellite. Had no issues with HD prior to Tuesday night. Now my HD option is greyed out on Display/Preferences/Show/Hide. Only can get SD for now.

I have a SWiM setup (SWiM 16). I did a Sat check last night, and all readings were in the 90's, but that was only for the first one. Assumed if one was that good, that all would be ok. I will check them all tonight when I get home.

2 nights ago I noticed a 721 error on my main TV when I turned it on. Did a hard reset, unplugged Receiver, etc. Checked other receivers around house, and all HD boxes had same problem. Called Tech support, and got the usual response, which was what I had already done. They tried...

My 721 is still going strong, but..... I haven't received any new cards, nor has my 721 stopped working, so should I just wait this thing out, or just give in and activate my 522? I have the mindset that says if it still works, don't fix it. Any word on an official turn off date, or will...

Thanks!!! - But still one small issue This worked like a charm!!! I was ready to toss this sucker. Only one issue though - Sometimes I get just a black screen, but with audio. I have to Channel up/down or just wait to make it go away. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks.

I was contemplating buying either a 625 or a 322 from Dishstore.net, seeing that D* only offers them to new customers. I contacted Dish Network to see about activating the receivers if I bought them from the internet. (I am an existing customer) This was D*'s reply: Thank you for your...

What's the first step? I live in NY and currently carry both the NY and the West Coast locals. I haven't made up my mind which way to go, so I need to know the first thing I need to do in order to keep both. Is there a web-site that I can visit to contact my local network affiliates, or do I...

DP Quad or DP+ LNBF Thanks for all of the feedback. Now for my next question. Would I be any better off in this configuration to go with a DP+ LNBF? I assume that with the DP+ LNBF I am limited to 4 receivers, unless I get a second DP+ 44 switch. Are there any major benefits to a DP+...

I am looking to get a dish pro plus 44 switch to enable me to operate 5 receivers. I will be using it with a dish pro quad LNBF in the following configuration. Please let me know if it will work: I will run 2 lines directly into my 721, the other 2 lines will go into the DPP 44, and...
