Just saw the dish support question. So to follow up, it apparently was a bad LNB. The tech came and replaced it and the signals have been great ever since. Thanks everyone for the help!

I need to ask for more help on this problem. I'm still experiencing issues with satellite 110 transponder 10 not getting a solid lock. I called a Dish tech with the thought my dish would need some tweaking. The tech measured the signal coming into the dish and I assume he believed it to be...

Ok thanks.

Is anybody having problems with 110 transponder 10? I'm trying to watch FETV channel 82 and can't get it to work?

We recently got FearnetHD on our cable system. I was looking forward to it and hoping it would be a replacement for MonstersHD. It is not, unfortunately. They have many repeats, commercials (even infomercials!), and edit the programs. It might be an ok addition to Dish in a package you...

Boy do they ever, I was watching the 3 Stooges on there a week or so ago and they took a 16 minute short and chopped it down to about 5 minutes!

Can a 1000.4 dish only be installed on the ground or a roof? I have a dish installed on the facia of the roof and the tech said he couldn't put the EA dish there.

Based on your description, it doesn't sound like it is seeing the drive. As soon as the STB finishes booting, there will be a message window telling it is seeing an external drive. If it is a new one, it will want to format it so the box can use it. Make sure the hard drive is fully...

I have the original 8300HDs from 2003. I had gone out and got a cheap 500GB SATA drive and found an enclosure and just connected it. I tried the drive on two different boxes for kicks, and it worked fine. Unfortunately, I never tried it on the 8300HDC when I had one of those. From what I...

Yeah, I definitely have the 8300HD and it works on that. I haven't tried the 8300HDC.

I forgot a few things, when you reboot the cable box with the new drive, it will let you know it sees the drive via message box. Also, the STB will need to format the drive. I'm curious if a 1.5Tb drive will work, I seem to recall that 750Gb was the max it would recognize, but that may have...

I don't know if the 1.5T will work. I use a 500Gb drive and it works fine. The trick is to have the drive connected and powered on, then reboot the cable box. Before doing that, check the amount of space remaining. If the cable box recognizes the drive after the reboot, the amount used...

Well, I asked the question because I was just wondering if anyone else has started seeing the leasing fee return. I do have my receiver connected to both the phone and internet. I guess I will complain to Dish again about it.

Hey all, I don't post very much, but I do read this board pretty much every day. By coming here, I've been made aware of deals that has saved me money. One of the items I learned was the fact that Dish stopped charging a receiver lease fee on the first receiver. I have a single 722 on my...

Helo all, Long time reader of this forum, first time poster. I have a question I could not find on this thread, it might here somewhere though but too many posts to read all. Anyway, I have a 622 with a non-functioning HDMI port. I called tech support and they will swap it out for me with...
