Thank you, will try once the wife's not watching. Helps to follow directions, eh? :p

I am having the same problem, just two rows of Extras - Messages, Active, Game Lounge on first row.. then TV Apps, Caller ID, and Showroom on the second row. I have done menu and red button resets with no change. Does the receiver need a live internet connection at the time of reset to pull all...

Yes, all timers die after turning off the mapdown. They are still in the Timer list, but they show as channel 001.

Got shot down again. I think it has to do with Atlanta being moved from Western Arc to Eastern Arc as of 10/22. For some reason, when I tell CS that I have dishes already set up to receive the right satellites, they say the local channels have migrated to new satellites recently and they must...

The Atlanta locals are CONUS on 129. I know I don't need to change my setup to get the big 4 from Atlanta in HD. I just need to get around CS supposedly requiring a new dish install. I will try another rep. Thanks.

Sorry - it must be the 1000+ then. I may be on the edge of the Atlanta spotbeam, but I don't care really, because I am just looking to get the 4 major networks in HD off of 129. Thanks for the reply.

I finally set up an OTA antenna with my 722 today here in the Raleigh, NC area, so I decided to "move" to Atlanta so I can catch some additional NFL games. So I go through the whole routine of "second home, already got the dish up, etc" - but the CS gal tells me I am required to have a new...

I was switched from HD Absolute to Turbo Gold HD over the weekend (long story), and while I did gain the main feed of FSN South in both SD & HD, I did not get any of the ALT sports channels. I am in the Raleigh, NC area, where FSN South splits their broadcasts up when the Hurricanes games are...

I was told by CS that they will not do TurboHD only (with no AT package) if there are any non-HD receivers on the account. Is this true? If so, wouldn't it make it pointless to have the SD versions the original poster is talking about?

update from above - I raised a little hell on the phone and got transferred to the Exec CS level (the ceo@echostar crew). They ended up giving me Turbo HD Gold, the Platinum HD add-on, and Locals for the same $34.99 price as I had HD Absolute and Locals before the 722 swap -- for 6 months. It...

Anyone else do the required 721/522 swap that has the grandfathered HD Absolute package? Did you lose it? My 522 is on the way, but I swapped out a faulty 722 tonight for a replacement 722 and my HD Absolute went away. I knew I couldn't make any programming changes, but I wasn't aware that I...

I had the constant reboot issue also. I got my replacement receiver today. When I called to activate it tonight it killed my grandfathered HD Absolute package.. GRRRRRRR!!! update - I raised a little hell on the phone and got transferred to the Exec CS level (the ceo@echostar crew). They...

I have watched content on my 721 before without having it connected to a signal. It has been a while, but it was possible at one time. I also got the letter over the weekend. I have a 722 serving my living room and master bedroom. The ol' 721 is in the bonus for the kids. Debating about...

Yes, it will work, but YOU MUST follow directions like these in the link below: http://michigantelephone.mi.org/distribute.html You will fry your VOIP equipment if you do not disconnect the telephone company's connection from outside your house.

Has this happened to everyone? I am contemplating a move for timeshifting purposes, but it was based on being able to get my locals via OTA w/ guide info still. So if I don't subscribe to my DMA's locals, I won't get the guide info on OTA, right? I would just have to create manual recordings...
