    Snow and Ice on dish

    My Dish is on my roof. I have mounted a 100 watt spotlight about 6 inches behind the dish. When snow is coming I jist plug it in until the storm is over. Works great.

    Can you use EHD with a Joey?

    Yeah, they do sell them, but they've been out of stock forever.:)

    "Something's not quite right"

    HipKat, your advice appears to have resolved the problem. Thanks again.

    "Something's not quite right"

    Recently I have been receiving this message on my H3 (U517) every few days. Often happens in the middle of Prime Time. The message says it will reboot in 45 seconds and there is no option to prevent it. Very annoying. I have the reboot time set to 8 am but it seems to ignore that. Has...

    Those were the days...

    I remember my folks first TV, an Admiral, about 1949. The only programming I recall was boxing on the Dumont Networt out of New York City. The TV was eventually replaced when the "Horizontal Hold" would not lock.

    EHD Spinning Up Question

    I may have found at least a partial work around for this problem. After you have selected the program do not select "watch". Instead select info on the remote and let it sit for a few seconds before you play the program. I am not sure this always works but I seem to have had some success with...

    Amazon Fire Stick question

    I have the Firestick and am very happy with it. I feel it has enough features to reasonably replace the $7/mo joey. I use Dish Anywhere on my Android phone, Kindle and Windows computer also. The functionality of the Firestick (pause skip/fast forward and back) is better than on any of the...

    ESPN - Press select to your find game

    It's not just ESPN. I had this annoying pop-up on FS1 last night. I think the blame for this is squarely on Dish.

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    If you have a full power HD CW station in your market, you should get CW in HD by the end of next year when Dish has to have all the HD local channels. Note it is stand alone channels, not subchannels. Does Dish have to have HD in all local markets or just all the HD in the markets in which...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I suppose "movers" are screwed with the mail service unless you can have them sent to the billing address, which is doubtful.

    Best solution for keeping snow off my dish

    I used a black plastic bag over the whole dish and arm last winter and it worked well. Tape it closed at the at the bottom to keep out moisture. The snow tends to slide right off the plastic. Use black as it helps melt any snow that does stick when the sun comes out.

    Bluefield/Beckley DMA on Dish - any updates?

    They will most likely give you an eastern arc dish (1000.4) that will be for 77, 72 and 61.5 satellite locations. This will replace your 110/119 dish. You will need an MPEG 4 receiver for eastern arc. A single coax will feed all three satellite locations to one single tuner or one dual tuner...
