Looks like the unplug reset has worked for the time being. I did have a glitch or two last nite so will have to keep monitoring the situation. Thanks for the advice but I do think things will go downhill again.....

I have a 722 that is acting up. If I wish to rewind and watch a replay of anything, it will start playing where I stopped the rewind, play for a minute or so, then:rant: suddenly go back to live TV. I use this function a lot especially for sports and it has gotten very annoying. Anyone else...

My 722 when paused (say after a long phone call) then started again will play at the paused spot then suddenly skip to live TV. This also occurs when I do a replay that is over several minutes long. Anyone else experienced this problem? Hard drive going bad maybe?:rant:

Looks like 29 is back on line now after having transmitter problems.

2 days now......

Why is WVIR (channel 29 Charlottesville, Va) not coming through on locals?

For the last week or so we have been experiencing fade outs (both voice and picture) on our locals (Channel 29, WVIR). Anyone else having this problem?

AT&T is terrible I have had trouble with AT&T in the past and do not recommend the company to anyone at all. After two weeks of trying to get credit for long distance charged to me from a different phone number I canceled everything that I had with AT&T. Good luck to you but they stink.

Finally got the signal straight on 129 Well, the 4th time is the trick I guess. I had the same tech come out that adjusted the dish last time I ran into trouble and he was anticipating changing all the coax to new. Lo and behold, after taking several barrel connectors out and running...

Originally I received an email indicating that I was to upgrade from a 500 dish to a Dish 1000 product so I could continue to receive local channels here near Scottsville, Va since a new satellite would have the locals on it. Did that, the guy came out and installed same. When clouds or rain...

I did the same thing yesterday. I did talk to a service rep about the problem and he assured me that he would take care of it (a $5 refund for programming access.....I do now have a phone line hooked in the back of the box). I paid the higher bill online and noticed a credit for the right...

I am near Charlottesville, Va and just had the new 1000.2 installed a month ago. Bad pixelization started whenever cloud cover came over so I called for a repoint which they did and it worked better. But I still lose channel 29 and get a blue screen telling me "we know of the problem and will...

Yeah, Bigthrust, I get the Richmond digital stations OTA better than Cville so that's why I use the Cville locals from Dish when I watch channels 29, 16, 27, or 19. An down in a hole near the James River so I get a better antenna signal from Richmond. I get brilliant HD reception OTA from...

Just wondering if anyone getting Dish locals from Charlottesville, Va is having any problems. My screen is freezing and then pixelating before returning to normal in about 30 seconds. Have called Dish tech (Chris, who was on it right away but did not have any other reports) and told him both I...

No, but you CAN get OTA high def if you have an antenna. I have a 921 and when I can pick up the signals from distant broadcasters I get a great high def picture. Other than that the 921 is an albotross suitable for an anchor with regard to high def. I am still pissed that I bought the damn...
