Sorry it took so long to get back to this thread. This weekend I was able to aim the dish to get both 61.5 and 72. Dish tried a few things and the thing that finally solved the problem was an update to my software. So I am guessing I needed to see both satellites in order to get the update...

Thanks for this info, also thanks to Tampa8 for also pointing out that not having 72 may be my issue. I will let Zach know this info, like I said it is probably something easily corrected once we find out what is causing the problem. I have 2 LNBs I can put on the dish, one is the eastern...

When I found about about the Welcome pack years ago I purchased a receiver and a dish and set it all up and everything worked great and I was happy. I wound up moving to a new house ~2.5 years ago and after a couple of months after moving and it being winter I never got a chance to set up the...

I get sub channels OTA that I don't think I would get from Dish, like MeTV, Escape, Grit, LAFF, This, etc. so that is why I would use the OTA module.

After I scan and select done a box comes up and says - the off air channels that you have selected will not appear in the guide until your receivers high definition functionality has been activated. Please call 1-800-333-DISH (3474). This is code 784. When I contact dish they said I need the...

I have one and get locals over that. My receiver has the ota module and I wanted to use that so everything is integrated. I am running into a problem where I can scan and see the locals in the setup menu but when I click done I get a message saying that hd needs to be enabled to use the ota module.

Zach is helping out with this. Hopefully it is something simple. He has been very helpful.

I just decided to cancel service. The welcome pack is $20 and dish said I had to pay an additional $30/month for them to turn on the ota tuner so I can watch free tv. Makes no sense. Not sure if this is true or not or if they are hoping I'll pay more. I spent three weeks going back and forth...

784

I used to have the welcome pack and then moved and stopped service. I finally got a dish setup and restarted service but I get an error code stating dish needs to enable hd so I can use my ota card. I called dish and they said I have to upgrade to a $50 package so I can have watch ota channels...

Thanks! I'll swing the dish over. I have a 6' WSI c-band dish but haven't had much luck getting anything with that - project for the spring at this point.

Hi, I checked "the List" and it looks like the NBC mux on 72w is still there but I just wanted to make sure since I will be moving my dish from 103w and wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I have a 30" Ku setup with an S9 receiver but I think it is too small to get the HD feeds on...

Thanks for the help! I currently have a motorized KU band setup and have been having a lot of fun playing around with that over the past couple of years - one day I may upgrade to an HD receiver. I just checked out SRL and I think the information on their site may have answered my questions -...

I am starting to get into C-band, bought a 6' dish from WSI and I am interested in setting up a W5 fixed system. I can't get a good read on what is going on or if these receivers and programming services will still be available in a few weeks. From what I have read in here it looks like it...

Thanks for the help. I won't have time to play around again until over the holidays but at least it looks like I am on the right track.
