I recently left Dish for Direct and was wondering if there is any easy way to change which favorite list you are on without going to the menu. On my 622 the guide button would cycle though, but that is not the case on the HR20. I like to keep a shorter list for the kids to watch. Thanks...

Found this over at DBStalk - -) Those that are having issues seeing it, on an HR20... do this: Tune to 498... Then tune to 72, Then tune to 73... Then tune back to 498 Worked for me - got to the congratulations screen!

All I get is a grey screen - is that reason for concern?

95 in New Mexico...

It is funny, but since my installer didn't have the 44 switch I can't get the California CBS feed. For the last two years all I had for the Major networks was CBS and now I have everything but! I am still loving the additional programming!

I updated my install saga here: Terrible install attempt Needless to say, I am not happy with Dish right now!

Today was almost as much fun... The installer called at 9:00 AM to ask if I wanted the system installed today or on the 23rd. I told him today and he said he was heading out of ElPaso and would be here at about 11:00. He arrived at 12:45 and started the install - no real problem so far...

West only - which worked great for me since my kids are in bed by the time the primetime shows are on...

I posted earlier that I got my waiver from KRQE but actually it was from KDBC in ElPaso - they were the station Dish told me to contact even though I get my normal dish CBS local from KRQE. When I contacted KDBC the person they put me in contact with had just started there and he talked to...

I just wasted the whole day playing around with Dish... Here is what I emailed to the ceo address... I have had an install of a ViP622 and Dish 1000 scheduled for today (3/4/06) since early February. The installer showed up at my home at about 2 pm to do the install. When we were...

I am in the middle of the install from down under right now! I will post a full report and link it to this thread when it is finished. It is already 5:15 and the installer is supposed to be back to START the install any time now! :eek: Take a look here and pray yours works better...

Since I am just 90 miles North of ElPaso I am able to get KFOX OTA at about 80%, and ABC and CBS at about 60-70%. I hear the 622 has a better OTA receiver than the 811 so the ABC and CBS may improve. Of course, now that Dish is giving us the HD Locals here it won't matter all that much! KFOX...

I went through KRQE also. Odd since they are not our Dish local CBS, but I am not arguing! I love having the later show times from California - the kids are already in bed and I don't have to compete with Nic! Of course, with my 622 being installed Saturday that will not be a problem much...

My vip622 and Dish 1000 are scheduled to be installed on 3/4 - Great news for me! The only OTA HD I can get here is a 60 signal from FOX in ElPaso. Thanks for the quick responses!

I was looking at http://ekb.dbstalk.com/hdlocal.htm and they show Albuquerque, NM as uplinked for HD Locals. That is my market, but Dish says they are not active yet. Anyone know anything about this one? Thanks in advance!
