I just read that the HD locals are available in CRW. I have a dual dish setup as I used to get the HD locals from NYC. It is pointed at 61.5. If I had the azimuth, elevation, and skew I could point it myself. When I go to point dish it only gives me settings for superdish. Any help would be...

What is the azimuth and elevation and skew for 77, I just found out about it and also have a 500 and a 1000.2 I haven't used the 500 for years, but I could change it myself. The point dish screen doesn't give you this.

Currently I have seen that 3 people (including myself) have this problem with 443 in this forum. One posted in another thread. I received my replacement receiver today, and just for the heck of it I tried again. You will not believe what I found out. 443 actually changed my off air...

VIP622 Software 443 OTA channels not working? I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, spent an hour on phone with tech support, tried deleting and no differance. Have zero signal strength on all uhf channels. They are sending me new unit, but it doesn't look like this will help.

I had a lady cancel service on New Years eve. It seems that she was watching a movie and they turned Lifetime off in the middle of the movie. I sold her a Direct TV the next business day.

I currently have dish 500 and dish pointed at 61.5 for CBS HD. I have been thinking of getting the locals. Will I be able to use my legacy receivers with the new dish. I have a 6000, 921, Dishplayer 7200. and I believe a 2800 receiver. I am using antenna for locals, and don't want to lose the...

Have new batteries, tried all suggestions, still happens. Made antenna into figure 8, seems to help a little. I actually got to to use it for 5 days without rebooting. ( unplugging it fixes the problem for a while) Bill

I have had my 921 for two or three months. The remote will stop working after skipping commercials, then reversing to get to the program content. After 3 or 4 minutes, it will work again for a short while. I also have an extra remote, and the same thing happens with it. I called Dish...

Yes, that's how I recorded Jay Leno. I have not had any problems.

Thanks DishBacker. I got to record Jay Leno. Dish advance techs called me back and told me there was no way to schedule a recording on OTA. They said I had to hit record while actually watching the program. I guess they don't read Sat Guys US...... Grin/

My OTA channel (003) NBC does not show up when I try to record. Press 7 and 101 is the first channel. I called advanced tech support, and they had no idea. Said they would call back tommorow. I really would like to record Jay Leno tonite to see the quality. I can tune to it, just cannot...

I think reason you are not getting good answers, is because the folks don't realize that you cannot activate the 322 and 522 if they are not hooked up to the phone line. It is just not possible to do it without a dial tone. I had a customer who had a three line phone system in his house. We...
