I live in State COllege, PA. Can anyone in this general area tell me what kind of signal strength you are getting on the spot beam for these locals TP3 at 119? I am only getting like 70 and ALL my other TP's are showing 90-100+ so I think something is not quite right. I don't think my dish...

Is this a 301 receiver by chance??? If so, I bet you have the P226 software update. Just one of the many bugs that have cropped up on mine lately since the update and I have reported it to Dish. Have also read similar complaints from others. Am I right on this??? If so, report your troubles...

Right...but people need to make sure they let Dish know they are experiencing problems. Otherwise they will consider reports to be "isolated cases". I have read on various forums that more and more people are complaining about issues with P226.

Had my 301 freeze again today 2 times and lose signal once out of the blue. One freezeup was in the middle of a show and one was while looking at the channel guide. NEVER happened before I was upgraded to P226. I emailed Dish tech support and they emailed back asking me for the info on my...

My 301 was recently updated with P226. Since then, I get random signal losses at all different times for NO reason. Now tonight, I was flipping around on the channel guide when my guide just Locked up...TOTALLY FROZE. I had to pull the smart card to get the thing to reboot and then it worked ok...

Do you mean have it hooked up to the Dish, as there is NO phone line? Also...should it be powered on or off???

Hi, I have a model 2700 and an old Dish 500 Antenna I just gave my father-in-law to activate for his boat at the lake. Since its on the boat, of course it is not in a phone line. He called to order the AT60 with locals pak and the CSR told him his account was activated. The receiver did indeed...

I do not have a Superdish...but when I went from my Dish300 to Dish500 I got triple the rainfade. :no I asked Dish about it once and they said that yes...anytime you go from a dish concentrated right at one sat location and move to one that pulls from 2 or more, the dish becomes less focused...

I have a few questions on the 322 receiver...First off...Dish claims that these are NOT FOR SALE and can only be had by lease holders, but there are currently about a half dozen or so on E-Bay. Are these legit? I mean, can they be had by us or if I bought one would Dish most likely tell me I...

I would not say they are liars...but rather most likely they are totally in the dark on this issue. For many companies, the staff is on a need to know basis and until the Turners get shut off, the CSR's don't need to know (and I bet many of them don't read the forums or the news headlines) so...

Viacom runs MTV, Nickelodeon, TV Land, VH1, BET, Spike TV, CMT, Comedy Central, Showtime, The Movie Channel, Flix, CBS and UPN...so in other words AT120 would be pretty darn bare if all these got yanked!

Oh no...I just read this on the net "A Federal Court Friday blocked a move that would let EchoStar Communications Corp. keep carrying Viacom Inc. programming until they settle a contract dispute. EchoStar wanted the Judge to extend a previously issued restraining order through the duration of...

I'm, not even sure that would help the program :no

Yes, I'd have to say its pretty bad. If Dish is intent on making this thing fly, it needs a TOTAL makeover. The pace is WAAAAAAAAYYYYY to slow and there is too much worthless banter trying to "hype the prize" between ball draws. Even the promos on Charlie Chat made this thing look half...

I know there was once an email address at Dish to use to report poor picture on a local station. The Johnstown/Altoona affiliates just went online today and ABC-23 is very bad...lots of ghosting, etc. I wanted to inquire if this will be addressed at some point. (You can tell its an OTA signal...
