LOL. Now I KNOW what I'm doing this weekend... :D .

Was the "tweak" setting the skew to Zero? (where it should have been to begin with) Otherwise, there is no skew setting you should be messing with. One bird = NO skew ;)

I understand what you're saying, but when I do the due diligence on a receiver's CA ID by calling Dish directly, where's the risk? When I can get a receiver for 1/3rd or less what it retails for, that's a pretty good deal. Not to mention, that nothing prevents me from selling it again when I'm...

I own my equipment to stay out of programming commitments. Buying receivers cheap off eBay, and often getting the dishes for free on Craigslist has worked out great for me. (People just love to have someone come get them off their roof :)) I do have a DPP twin, so I think I can set it up the...

Hi all, I currently have a D500 system with a 322 receiver. I'm in the New England area and I don't think I can use a D1000 to get 129 (129 just isn't available in this area, correct?) I'm planning on buying one of the Dish HD receivers (I own all of my equipment), but am wondering what sats...

Can't you get your locals in HD OTA? You'd be surprised what a "cheap" UHF antenna can get you nowadays. How far are you from the local broadcast towers? You can check here: Address If you can pull locals in OTA, then "moving" to get Brewers games makes the most sense ;)

Dude, I was just posting another source. If you have a problem with Swanni, take it up with him. I just don't care...

Yup...It was announced on TVPredictions.com, here: TVPredictions.com Forum - Dish Network Adds Sci-Fi, USA HD Good stuff :up

Yes, should being the key word. I did that and it showed NESN and SNY...Dish then proceeded to black me out of both! What Dish considers your local RSN is horsesh*t. Check MLB.tv and see what THEY would black you out on...those will be the teams MLB considers local to you. If the Royals are...

Bela, That ceo address did nothing for me, either. Not even a canned response. The Dish CSR's are trained to be complete jackasses regarding blackouts, because they think the customer is always trying to get something they're not entitled to. My advice: CALL Fox Sports directly and get them...

Yup...keep alternating between phone calls and chat sessions. ;) Luckily, i got mine on the first try. (However, I was not a previous Skinimax subscriber...) .

A 50" Samsung flat-screen BETTER have one built in....

Dude, your antenna will pick up plenty (And if it's THAT old, go pick up a different one for $30 at Radio Shack). Case in point: Last night, just f*cking around, I decided to finally test the digital tuner in my Flat-screen HDTV. We live about 20 miles from most of the stations. I ran a long...

I tried that email address (that everyone swears by) and they didn't even respond to my blackout problem. :mad: bela, What is your zip code (if you don't mind posting)? This sounds like another Dish screw-up, not MLB...I can look into it further for you. .

Brother, who knows with Dish! I've had my battle with them, got it resolved, and now I get some MLB replays that are completely out-of-market. (Orioles on MASN, for one). When they were blacking me out of my local teams, I wasn't even getting those on the replay. Go figure. :rolleyes...
