It's all good

I had two things happen, my 612 was replaced with a new one and the tech repeaked the dish, which was off badly. That was three weeks ago I think, not one lock up or issue with the 612 since.

Take the 2 year commitment....you could break the commitment, pay the 10 bucks a month penality...and probably still spend less money and effort trying to buy the equipment on your own and crossing your fingers that it works.

Yes, on the pull down in the multi LNB section select the Dish 1000.4, that is your Eastern Arc.

I looked here: EKB: Dish HD Locals Nothing for Savannah GA.

New 612 user here also. I don't use the OTA input so I am no value there. I had my 612 only for about a week before I had a tech come out and re peek my dish, which was off pretty badly buy the original installer and replace my 612. The issue I had was the 612 would lock up at least once a...

My 211K now has DVR. It was not a pretty activation, long story short, I think instead of taking 15 mins to activate it was more like two hours. This was around 11:00pm last night. I tried it again this morning, and DVR function still there. One thing strange last night, when the function...
