Yeah, I just checked at 8:38AM and mine were out (I had not checked earlier in the morning).

I still get an error dialog (error 004) on 17-00HD and 50-00HD at 8:20PM

Same problem here. Check switch, power cycle, nothing helps.

I tried to watch the News Year's programming on the HD feed of ABC from Dish. It was a joke. So I complained to dishquality. Apparently, so did at least two other folks. Here is the reply I got (after a week and a half): "Thank you for expressing your concerns and interest in DISH Network...

My latest reply from Dish tech support: "Thank you for your e-mail. I will definitely pass this information along. The ‘official information’ they’ve been passing down the wire for the last few months is that we do not support PSIP data at all. Like you’ve said, we have had several customers...

I conversed with tech support at Dish about this issue.... guess what? They essentially claim that none of us should be getting any guide data for any of the -01 channels. That some of us do get guide data, is an accident. I find this hilarious that I'm supposed to believe that the guide data...

Sometime between yesterday and today I lost my guide for these stations again. I'll try a reboot again in a bit to see if I can get them back. Being totally new to Dish, does anyone know where one reports such problems? Is there an email address, web form, etc. or do I have to call a tech...

Yeah, I'd like to blame WTVD for this one, but I can't report the same results. I had 011-01 (WTVD OTA HD) up at the same time (PIP and doing swaps frequently). The OTA signal was very sharp and the dish provided feed was just a total joke.

Yes, my ABC feed from Dish (WTVD) is really poor. I tried to watch the New Years Eve programming on it and it was a really huge mess. Looked like a bad youtube video. With all of the lights and flashes it was really quite hilarious. I've sent a mail to dishquality (like that does any good)...

Didn't have to wait a week.... Just checked the guide and 005-01 and 050-01 OTA have reverted to "Digital Service" rather than appropriate guide data. Went through a check switch again to force a guide download and the guide for these stations is restored. Is anyone else in the Raleigh area...

Hmmm.... I get up this morning and notice that the guide data for 05-01 and 50-01 just say "Digital Service". All of the other OTA local channels have guide data. The corresponding sat locals have guide data... just not channel 5 and 50 OTA. How about that. Wonder how those stations are...

Bah ha ha ha.... this poor quality software just keeps getting 'better'. I'm watching a recorded concert (from the Rave channel). When done, I hit stop. Then I delete the recording. Hit live TV.... and live TV I get. The only thing I'm missing is the lady beside the TV playing the piano. I...

Man was I excited. I had my 622 record Battlestar Galactica in HD from UNIHD. So I go into the DVR and hit play. What pops up? Well nothing other than Jeff Probst and the Survivor finale! That's right, my 622 thinks that Battlestar Galactica in HD is equivalent to Survivor in SD. I can see...

Yep I was having dropouts. Everything except 118 was excellent in strength. So I went and got my wrench and went to work. Seems my installation guy peaked 110 and 119 but never went back and fine tuned the aim for 118. After 20 minutes of tweaking, I've tripled my 118 (transponder 2)...

What kind of signal strength should I be receiving on the 118 sat? I get 90 or above on all of the other sats, but get anywhere from nothing, to 20 to 40-50% on the transponders of 118. I have a dish 1000+.
