I had to figure this out for myself, so I wanted to share for others. The dish CSR's are worthless. On June 3rd, I went into my account details. I was Turbo HD Bronze, and I switched to America Top 120. I then signed up for paperless and auto-pay. But I was defaulted to the NONE OF THE...

I thought DMA #153 - Rochester-Mason City-Austin was to go HD on June 3rd? I called Dish, and of course nobody there could tell me anything, so I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about this? I have two 722k and one 211 HD reciever, so will I get them automatically when they activate...

Tired of all the crap, and expense, and them removing the Cinimax for 1 cent, I have gone back to paper billing, and Turbo HD Bronze. My bill reduced by over $39 a month (now only $47 a month). What I lose is the following: Nickelodian Fox News NFL Redzone That's all our family watched...

Sunday Ticket is TOTALLY worth it when you live in say Florida and your favorite team is Seattle. You get to watch your favorite team play entire games, every Sunday. But, if you are local to your favorite team... Like you get the game on local CBS or FOX, then I found Sunday Ticket not so...

I believe I have a Dish 500 (access to 110 and 119). When I go to option 6-1-1 and check the signal strength, it looks like it is on 119 transponder 11 and I get 65 signal strength. How do I check 110, what transponder does it use? I assume that the reason I have channels listed twice (some...

I am in zipcode 55901, DMA 154 Rochester, Mason City, Austin and am stuck with SD Locals (I'm paying for locals 5.99 amonth) I live 70 miles south of Minneapolis, and they get all locals in HD. I'd like to "move" my locals but not sure about if it would work or not. Not sure what it is that...

Thanks TheKrell. Luckily, before I finished the basement, I ran an extra Coax cable from where the Sat Dish is into the house, in case I wanted to add an OTA antena. I could just use that!!!

Can someone explain to me something...I use to have Charter, which carried my locals: CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX, all in HD. I switch to DISH, pay $5 a month for locals, and they are all in SD! WTF? My zip code is 55901 and my DMA is 154 Rochester, Mason City, Austin. To the north is Minneapolis...

I currently have my 722k hooked up via phone. But I see a LAN input on the back. What is that used for??? Can I hook it up to the LAN and remove the phone cable? Is there anything I have to do to tell it that I'm hooked to the LAN, or does it just figure it out on it's own? Are there any...

70 miles to the north of me, the DMA there has locals in HD. 70 miles to the east of me the DMA there has locals in HD. Me, my DMA apparently hasn't struck a deal with Dish Network yet. But I don't really care if I have my locals, or the ones to the north or east of me. Can anyone tell me...

A Dish Network van pulled up in front of my house and a guy went around to the back of my house and spray painted over the word TURBO on my dish. In now reads "Dish HD". They are really serious on getting rid of TURBO HD.

It is not your HDTV, it is the show that is on the channel at the time. I noticed this when I was on Charter Cable, when I got my new Samsung HDTV. Everything was wonderful, unless I turned to TNT and an old episode of Law and Order was playing. Everytime the show panned left or right, it...

Can somone confirm this as true or false...she said channel 5340 was available to Turbo HD Bronze, which would then indicate it is available to all Turbo HD packages (silver and gold as well). I can not confirm this as I'm at work. I find it hard to believe though.
