    OTA Antenna Question

    I mounted a Wineguard GS2200 on top of the pole for my DISH and am receiving over 30 Chicago locals, and I'm about 35 miles west of downtown. It looks like a wing, and it has an amplifier. THe only channel it misses is Channel 2, which hardly anyone can pickup.

    Software Upgrade Request

    As we get into winter here in the Chicago Area, and I have already suffered one "iceing issue", it's about time to modify the software on any receiver with OTA capabilities to be able to get to the Guide and select an OTA channel when the "signal is lost" message appears. Nothing is more...

    EchoStar 722 DVR Manual

    Why would anyone print one when you can have a PDF. I have a folder on my PC for User Manuals for all of the products I acquire. It takes a lot less space that the paper versions, I always know where it is, and searching electronically bets the hell out of trying to figure out what they called...

    A&E HD - Low Signal - TP27 on 129

    :confused:Has anyone else noticed that the signal strength on A&E HD - TP 27 on 129 is among the lowest on 129. I can barely pull in 50, while TP's 30 & 32 seem to be 75 & above. TP's 7 & 11 are in the upper 60's. But A&E is bar far the worst reception of the HD Channels.

    Dish OTA Antenna

    I just read in the notes of the retailer chat that if you are swapping or upgradeing to an MPEG4 unit and must use OTA to get HD locals, they will provide and install the antenna. If you are a new customer, then it will be a free install with the purchase of a $49 OTA antenna.

    Can't get any OTA HD

    The Dish receiver will not pick up any HD signals without some type of antenna attached. You can verify what stations are available in your area at antennaweb. Enter your address and the site will return the direction the antenna must point to pickup the stations. I am using a Winegard Sensor...

    Separator to 811/508?

    Here's the question. If I purchased a DPP 44 switch and a separator, can I use a single run to support the 811 and 508 attached to my HDTV? Currently I have two runs, but I am moving to a new home and would prefer the single run. That and the 921 is still to expensive - this configuration...
