    Vip 211 and Vip 222 Channel Changing Issues

    Maybe I am locking them out incorrectly? I created a list, and made sure the sat locals were not visible. Yet, when the tivo tunes into a certain channel, it goes straight to a sat local. When did this take place? Now, leaving Dish Network becomes even more appealing. And, I wouldn't go to any...

    Vip 211 and Vip 222 Channel Changing Issues

    I am not "most folks." I like to have a choice whether I want to access my sat locals in the single and double digits or the 8000s. ;) I've tried to lock out channel 8.0, it doesn't work. It won't show in the guide, but when the tivo tunes to 008, the receiver automatically tunes to the...

    Why did you take it away? I am extremely upset with this omission.

    Can't seem to find that option on the 222 nor the 211. Was it moved elsewhere on the unit?

    Vip 211 and Vip 222 Channel Changing Issues

    With the latest software update, Dish Network screwed me up. I connect both my receivers to antennas. I am using a Tivo to record off the 222. It is an older Tivo unit, that only tunes into analog stations. So, when it uses the IR blasters to change channels, it only goes to 008. Before the...

    Says I need a yellow antenna. Don't know what that is.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Already tried rabbit ears (w/ a loop antenna) next to the TV. Didn't work. Had to move the antenna to the attic.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    What make/model antenna is that? I am just using rabbit ears in my attic, but not getting good signal levels.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I get my locals from my antenna. However, I no longer have those locals, except for one channel. WTF? I have a 222. Like others have experienced, 129 is kaput. Anyone else have problems w/ locals from an antenna?

    Too bad nothing bigger than a 1TB works on a 211/211K. :( Good deal @ Costco.

    New Channels or Substitutes for the Loss of Fox/Disney

    +1. Would have liked to get all these channels in HD instead of SD. :rant:

    New Channels or Substitutes for the Loss of Fox/Disney

    Strange. I subscribe to Dish America Silver. Channels 9660-9682 opened up. MASN, NESN, Big 10, ESPCL, SNY, et cetera. Of course these channels come in at the end of baseball season, but they're nice to have. Unfortunately, they are not HD. What's the deal w/ these channels?
