Aloha Lucky, You score the Bingo here. All HD Starz channels are viewable after the morning update. Nice Job. WIX

I know a little bit about QAM. I have 4 locations here on Oahu where I have QAM systems. If needed I can post a list of sats/xponders needed for up to the Gold HD pac, that's the most you can get out here. As of now it is 54 Transcoders total but it includes a few Transcoders for some stuff off...

Thanks Lucky86, It's 5:45 PM here now I will recheck after the Friday morning updates. I got a PM from a Dish person so I will respond to that after I dig up my account number. WIX

Did as you suggested Lucky86. There are additional listings for Starz HD channels in the 5500 and 9000 range but respond with the same error when selected. Ran the Check switch with alternate checked and 110 and 119 checked green while 129 checked yellow. My 129 dish is a 1.2 meter. Thanks for...

The problem is on all receivers at the house here. One (1) 722 and two (2) 211's. I did a force software download on all receivers. I had the rep send hits to all the receivers and no change. What is surprising is that there is no technical knowledge available on the Dish Network Storefront to...

ALoha, It's 11.22 pm here in Hawaii and as I look down at my IPhone I see I have been on hold by Dish's Advanced Technical Support for 1 hour and 31 minutes. Incredible! Called Dish with a problem with error code 743 showing up on several Starz HD Channels, the rep was polite, but more...

OOhhh I agree please don't listen to me. You gave a good report on your problems and invited a response from those of us here and I gave you my recommendations. While I have only been installing and servicing DBS systems since my first job at AlphaStar I may be a bit old fashioned. Certainly no...

Naw Don't know Jeff but I think it may be a signal quality issue and not so much a signal power issue. Even here in Hawaii 55 at the receiver on a multi-feed dish would make my alarms go off. I would re-verify the alignment and distribution first before I suspected the receivers. Wix

It is more than likely that your picture quality issues are directly related to your satellite dish and not your receivers. Dish alignment and multi-feed issues are the main reason I opt for individual dishes for each satellite and use a Dp-34 or similar switch. If you are not satisfied with the...

Howdy, I have Direct TV and Dish Network (SD) Headend receivers as well as modulators and C-Band IRD's to include DSR 1500's, 4400's, 4500's and 4402x's. Also have 6,000 feet of .500 Hardline (flooded) on spools I need to find a home for. Wide assortment of outside plant taps, splitters, and...
