    Reinstall Satellite on new roof

    Just an update. Roofers put both Sats back up and reception is at the same levels as before. I have not had any fad outs. We have not had a major storm, so time will tell if that is an issue. Thank you to all that replied to my question.

    Reinstall Satellite on new roof

    I am in the process if having a new roof out on. I have two satellites. One pointed at 110/119/129 and another pointed at 61.5. They took down the 61.5 but will have to take the other one down tomorrow. They are worried that they will not be able to put them back. What should I tell them to...

    Best Education Channels for Kids

    We record off of PBS and watch them over and over. Other cartoons are not as educationally focused as PBS kids. Our family also watches Veggie Tales. It comes on KTV which is in all packages. My kids are 4 and 2. I don't have Disney Channel, but we watch some shows on Netflix.

    I would like to have Fox News in Dish America. It's in all packs except for Dish America and Welcome. Dish and Fox can make it happen.

    They really need to update the package channel listings on their website...

    I switched to Dish America and lost those channels. I did a web chat and they were able to turn them back on. (We lost BabyFirst and my kids panicked). These are part of the public access channels that all Dish Subscribers should get (to my knowledge) . This happened to me in January and...

It was mostly my kids shows that can be recorded again from PBS. I also ordered then OTA module so I can hook the antenna back up. Thank you...

    Lightning Strike

    Thanks for the responses. I called my homeowners insurance and have that ball rolling. I don't have the dish protection plan, so that won't work for me. How much will dish charge for a service call? How much is a LMB cost? How hard is it to install? Seems to me the problem is with the dish or...

    Lightning Strike

    My house was hit by lightning last night. My satellite was knocked out. The TV is a loss and so is my OTA antenna (lighting hit the antenna). It caused a small fire in the amplifier. My 622 powers up, but only my DVR works. The output to TV2 also works. I can not get a signal from any of my...
