    Audio on WTTG Washington DC

    Me too again this evening. Unwatchable. Dish, are you listening?

    Things are looking worse for Dish than I thought

    I looked at this thread at work and couldn't figure out where the 666 was coming from. When I got home and looked, I could see the cut and paste in the original post and it all made sense. I suspect other posters who sounded confused had the same problem I did with internet filters at work.

    Bad weekend with Dish

    I had the same problem last year at this time. Problem turned out to be nearby trees which were starting to grow leaves. Had to relocate the antenna to another part of the roof. No problem since.

    HD Tuner Count Limits

    I have been a customer for six years with AEP/HD and autopay. Perfect record. When I sent a very nice/polite email to CEO requesting to exceed the 4 tuner limit, they said no. After reading posts from others saying they were successful, would CEO roulette be the correct term?

    Dishstore.net...what do they do?

    My father-in-law (early 80s) came over to my house after my Dish install, heard the Big Band music on one of the Sirius music channels, and signed up that day.

    Got upgrade from 508 to 612 for free

    I just scheduled a Dish'n It Up to upgrade both a 501 and 510 to two 612s. $25 each - includes installation (couldn't get out of it). New 2 year commitment. The 501 and 510 are both leased and will be taken by the installer.

    DISH NETWORK® UNVEILS BIGGEST HIGH DEFINITION UPGRADE IN TV HISTORY

    Someone can correct me, but I believe the 1080P content will only be coming over the internet connection to your receiver, not a satellite.

    Power Requirements

    Thanks RandallA. I didn't have power to the receiver on the first switch. Mystery solved.

    Power Requirements

    I have two DP34 switches. There is a 508 connected to the first switch and a 622 and 501 connected to the second switch. I get 61.5 (on a wing dish), 110, 119 and the check switch screen reads Sgl LNB for each.

    Power Requirements

    I lost power over the weekend, and hooked up my TV and one of my receivers to a portable generator. I still didn't have a satellite connection, and I'm guessing there was some other part of the system (dish?) that needed power that I missed. What did I miss and where is it typically wired in...

    CNN HD-PA lip sync issues

    I had the same severe lip sync problem with CNN HD last night. 622 connected directly to Sony LCD TV via HDMI.

    Charlie Chat Recap -- March 10th

    In response to the email question asking if there were any plans to change the four tuner limit, Charlie said yes, and Jim said something like we're always reviewing our policies. The fact that there wasn't a straight answer is not surprising. Since the question was emailed this afternoon and...

    Super Bowl pic quality thread

    Best picture I've had on my local Washington DC fox channel through Dish (can't get Fox OTA) in a long time. I'm not sure if Fox was using better equipment, Dish was doing less compression, or my local Fox affiliate was sending Dish a better picture.

    HDMI Issues (622 and Sony XBR4 LCD)...

    I have had my 622 for about a year and just got a Sony 52XBR4. The previous TV was hooked up with component cables from the 622. I hooked up the HDMI cable to the Sony and it worked without any setting changes. I also hooked up component cables and audio as I fully expect the HDMI fitting on...

    Ethernet- Calling Home Question

    Probably a stupid question, but.... I thought the phone connection requirement was so Dish could see that the receiver was located in the same house as the account. How can just having it hooked up via ethernet only accomplish this?
