    Sacramento and SF Bay locals are dead!

    Yes Jimbo I have OTA and they are fine. I think the further reports from all over says DTV had a major problem right smack in the middle of prime-time for the west coast. I did say that all of the channels for two DMAs were down. Not very likely to be a local station issue.

    Sacramento and SF Bay locals are dead!

    About 7:40pm PT tonight the SF Bay and Sacramento locals went dark. There is no message or anything on all of the stations at this time. Just a black screen. Any news?

    I'm a new customer being ripped off

    Not to hijack the thread but my parents just got DTV and the current offer they got was 31$ a month for 12 months then months 13-24 is 16$ off. Also they got the AAA discount so that is 10$ more off for months 1-20! This deal showed up for their zip code but not mine until Jan 1st. Now it shows...

    Blackout issue (nhl)

    A few weeks ago there was a Sacremanto Kings game listed on both CSNCA(698 and CSNCA+(699). I am in the local area for both sports teams and get all of the games that are on CSN. At the same time there was a SJ Sharks game going on as well. According to the listing on the CSN web site the SJ...

    Best Deal on DTV?

    Yes and it seems that DTV has wised up to the double discount stuff. Just tried it for my parents new account and was told you only get ONE discount.... Either AAA or referral and NOT both. She line by line reviewed the entire order and when she got to the AAA discount she told me it was one or...

    Best Deal on DTV?

    Assuming my AAA club is the same discount as the rest, I use CSAA, it is currently 10$ a month for 20 months. The referral is 10$ off for 10 months for the new account and 10$ off for 10 months for the referring account.

    HR-34

    So you currently have 4 tuners and replacing the HR24 with an HR34 would take you up to 7 total tuners. You should be fine.

    HR20-HR24 / H21-H25 CE Release 12/2

    Does power save mode just mean no live TV to go rewind in if the rcvr hasn't gotten something from the remote for 2 hours?

    CE FOR 10/7

    I have an HR22-100 and the download took the normal amount of time. I haven't had a CE on this box since MRV went national. It did clear out the guide cache and I did get an "additional download" at the point where I would have gotten a tv picture for the first time. I did see the "screen saver"...

    Special One-Night CE for 9/15 -- No Weekend CE's

    Sometimes it is good to live on the West Coast :) I hope to try out the new HD-GUI on my HR22. I have been out of town for the last few CE releases.

    RSN Maps

    I suspect the multiple maps are due to multiple "local" channels that can carry the game. Also note that there are multiple maps for some teams in the MLB as well.

    Team Summit Pics Video and Live Recap!

    I suspect they are talking about this device. Sling Media - Slingbox 700U It does not have a network connection so it would have to be connected to a VIP dish rcvr or other rcvr with ethernet built-in. Scott, Any news about when this might come to the other non-922 VIP rcvrs?

    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    What got you interested to purchase your first Free to Air satellite system? Well I was working for Dish as an installer when I added Dish to a house that had a BUD. When I asked about the BUD I was shown the possibilities with FTA and have been hooked ever since.

    HR2x / R22 CE Release v0x31F 6/5 & 6/6

    Well the download worked. I had to manually reboot via the red button. When I did reboot I got to the "just a few more seconds" screen then got a "Software download successful"(or something close to that) screen. It the rebooted on its own and now I have tv again. So for some reason the rcvr did...
