That worked !!! My OTA channels are back on. It was set to “cable” not “off air”. I Don’t ever recall changing it. Thanks to you, and everyone else who replied.

Thanks to all. Current software is: L918 Forgot to ask about any firmware updates.

My VIP 722 receiver is sending me hints it would like to retire. Older technology I know, but it’s fine for me and saves me a few bucks on a monthly bill. It’s connected to my TV by a HDMI cable. That is until a couple weeks ago when the TV claimed it had no signal from the receiver. (Note...

Do you recall if there was an extra charge, or fee for your “Outdoor” account. I’d call Dish to ask but they seem to be a little backed up on customer service calls right now.

Does that ability (changing your locals) come with the camper package? Since my retirement I was thinking of putting a dish on my vacation camp in another state. ...But ONLY if it's legal.

Oh, they'll definitely lose customers. The Red Sox are BIG in New England. The season might start late while MLB and the Players Union work out a deal. But once they do…

I liked watching their (college) Hockey East games this time of year. Not sure which side to blame. ...But my contracts up soon which gives me the option to take advantage of new customer pricing with their competitors.

Got it. Thanks again!

Thank for the reply also, rgxcable!

Thanks for the reply. I just gave it a try. ... Receiver said it found less satellites than I had before. Saved it, and hopefully it will do the trick. I also have a VIP211K hooked to the same 1000.4. It has been shutting down similar to the VIP722. Will I need to run the same Switch...

Some of my scheduled recordings are starting late because my VIP 722 receiver is rebooting. I can only assume the rebooting is caused by the receiver trying to find the satellite 77. Where are the DISH Rep's that monitor this site doing about it???

With the January price increase Dish sent me a card in the mail for a free gifts, one of which had to be redeemed by today (3/31/2017). I forgot about it until I logged into their website last weekend and it reminded me I still needed to choose my gift of 1 month on free premium programming...

Probably got a complaint from the Tribune police.

The NFL team was actually called the Boston Yanks and as ironic as it maybe to some Red Sox fans, they played their home games at Fenway Park. And even more ironic to some Patriots fans, late fall football games that conflicted with the baseball teams schedule were held in nearby Lynn, MA at...

Why transponder 9? (Just Wondering)
