    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    Here in Cedar Rapids, IA, 20-00 (Ch 20 KWKB over satellite) has correct guide data. However, 20-01 (KWKB OTA) guide data is actually for KWTV out of Oklahoma City.

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    I didn't even get an order number, but I found my order number by clicking on "My Shipments".

    I wasn't given a number. If it turns out I need one, I'll call them back when it's time to fill out the rebate.

    Also, my CSR said the rebate was a prepaid MasterCard, not American Express. She may have been mistaken. I don't care too much either way. She also said the card would arrive in 30 days after the rebate was processed.

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    I was just told to fill out the rebate online. It wasn't clear whether I had to wait 45 days to fill it out or if i had to fill it out within 45 days. I suspect the form will be at dish.com/getslingadapterreward (which just says "The system is currently unavailable, please try again later"...

    Thank you. I did this and the process was completely painless.

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    I called and the CSR told me that I could only get the rebate if I purchased through a retailer. Obviously he's not right but didn't feel like trying to convince him otherwise. I'll probably just try again tomorrow when things are more settled. What number are people calling? I tried...

    HH motor on Primestar Oval??

    I've done exactly this with a DG 380. It's been working great for over a year. I bought a foot of clear flexible pvc tubing at the hardware store (probably 1.25" diameter) and cut pieces of it to shim the motor shaft.
