Update here in NW Pa. must have been somewhere between 1:45AM - 2:00AM.Woke up this morning with same problems had to call D and have them do a HR44 reset from their end. Had to wait 20 minutes on hold for a rep. Oh well!!!

Contemplating a switch to D from E. Question on programming...........I see channel 389 PBS, looks like a national feed of PBS. Is this available if I also have the Pittsburgh,Pa. locals?

What happened to the Pittsburgh,Pa. locals? Loss of all signals for these channels tonite at approx. 9:35 PM:confused:

Yes they were originally aded in Dec. 2006 on the 118 Sat as Iceberg stated to get more customers. No cable systems outside of Pittsburgh city proper were even offering locals in HD then. The COMCAST system in Oil City only began offering Pitt HD locals in April '09. I agree they will probably...

I agree, but sometimes after 58 yrs and a head of gray hair you know when to stop trying to make a point. You can dress them up but you can't take them out!

Postings above are correct in the apparent non communication with DISH and the retailers/installers. I just had a Dish tech here on site in the last 1/2 hr to change my 110/118/119 & 61.5 wing dish to the 118 wing & 61.5/72.7/77 Sat configs. Seems Dish wants to use a new EA dish that has a built...

Those are the Scranton,Pa. locals.

It might. Where can I find a list of channels on the different Sats?

I currently have 2 dishes, one with Sats 110/118/119 and one ( a wing dish) with 61.5. I tried to get an upgrade to pick up the 72.7 Sat but I can not get a clear shot of 129 so I still need the 61.5 wing dish. The local installation Tech advised you can not input 5 Sats into the DP44 switch...

Yes I have the new cards in the 2xx receivers, the Dish Tech had me verify them. this Tech apparently did not know enough to send a hit to the 2 different 2xx receivers. We checked the software versions and also did a check switch test . None of that did anything to update the programming.I will...

Anyone ever have this problem: I have 3 HD receivers; 622, 211 and a 222. On the 622 I receive all of the HD programming I subscribe to. On the 211 and the 222 I am missing some HD channels. For example, Speed HD channel 150HD and same 9468. I receive OK on the 622. I can not get the same...

Anyone else ever have problems with a 622DVR losing the audio? Seems my 622 on ocasion, since Oct '08 will lose the audio when I switch from a DVR recording I am watching back to regular TV channel. At first it was only losing the audio on the HD channels. I replaced my Sony 5300 series amp...

Has anyone tried the new list of codes in the manual with the old 6.3 remotes? I see the ILO Television codes listed, I have one of those units only sold by WalMart. The ILO codes were never ever listed prior for the older remotes. I am going to try when I get home from the office.:)

Contemplating switching from Dish to DirecTV. I can bundle my service with Verizon phone and Internet service. Need to know, going with the + HD DVR package, will I get my locals plus the National Network feeds? Also will I be able to receive the PBS National feed on 384? With DISH I lease my 3...
