Just got my DTB-H260F today. Hooked it up did a channel scan and wow 20 digital channels. The best I could do was 6 channels with my Dish 211. Been putting it thru its paces and so far very satisfied.

Do a hard reset on your receiver. Push and hold the power button for ten seconds and let the receiver go thru its start up routine.

Don't get what I guess I should vent about not getting the food channel in HD instead of venting about not getting any of the voom HD channels I've been paying for for the last 6 months. The local installer wanted to install a 24 inch dish last Feburary but Dish would not allow it. I...

129 Questions on 129 dropouts and pixalation: A: 129 in the N.W. is not as strong, we are working on a special dish solution using a 24" dish, contact your local retailer if you are having problems. We are going to try to boost the power Wed to help on the 129 NW transponders. So after 6...

Mine is doing the same thing. Unfortunatly Dish has won and I won't bother calling. Fourteen months and counting Dish will be one subscriber less.

All we can do is vote with our feet. 14 months 5 days from now I'm gone.

Yes this is a wide spread issue on the west coast. All you can do is keep calling tech support they will send tech after tech out to try and resolve the issue, replace your receiver at least twice, punch numerious holes in your roof trying different dishes and send out an area manger before...

I check every couple of days and so far no change, changing to a dish 500 for 129 brought my signal up enough that it doesn't drop every 20 minutes like it was but it stills drop out just as you are beginning to enjoy a program. Very frustrating!

Yeah if they put them on 129 we will finally know Dish is not listening to their customers in the northwest and that engineering is asleep at the wheel. They will also have one less customer as I will turn back my 211 beings they cannot reliably provide the programming they force you to buy.

So when does dish step up an admit that there is a problem As I have mentioned in earlier posts I have been thru the wringer with this issue with Dish including seperate dishes for 129. I refuse to even try and watch anything on 129 due to the frustration of loosing the signal. I have...

Good luck! Since Feb 6th I have had every installer, every manager they could come up with trying to resolve my 129 issue. They have repeaked the dish, replaced the lnb's, replaced the 211 receiver, installed a dish 300 just for 129 and finally installed a dish 500 for the 129 satellite...

Issues with 129 Foyd, I don't know where you are but this is a well known issue with 129 in the Pacifc North West and along the West coast. I have had my receiver replaced, my lnb's replaced, had a dish 300 installed and now have a dish 500 pointed at 129 all to no avail. I can receive the...

129 Signal loss every twenty minutes Fubar, how did your install go. I'm having the same issue ever since my 211 was installed on the 6th for Feb. Dish has replaced the LNB's, receiver and yesterday put up a Dish 300 all to no avail. Mine drops every 20 minutes you can set your watch by...

Well I spent the afternoon doing a re-install on my Dish 1000 and now my signal levels on 129 are in the mid 60's to low 70's about a 10 point increase. So far I have not had any drop outs or freeze up's so I hope the increase in signal will be enough to keep lock during rain storms we will...

What I discovered on the roof Well it warmed up today so I pulled out the ladder to see if I could see what the problem might be. Well I discovered cables stretched out all over the place, my nice drip loops from when I installed the dish 500 were gone. there must of been at least a dozen...
