    CBS local station audio drops issue. Is it me?

    Channel 6 has a long history of running things on the cheap. Back in 2022, I spent about a month with Tyler the Antenna guy, helping me to write a letter of complaint to the FCC about their failing signal. Tyler helped me aim my antenna and I sent pictures of the open sky and which...

    CBS local station audio drops issue. Is it me?

    It is the local station. I think it is the encoder they are using since it effects both CBS and Fox on the same broadcasting tower. I live in Nederland 10 miles from Beaumont and my ota signal is experiencing the same thing you are describing. Call channel 6 KFDM/CBS and report it to the...

    The satellite at 148 was experiencing stability issues that made signal levels unstable for the short time it was located at 148. On July 31, 2009, all remaining programming at 148 ceased.

    What dish network satellites are shut down.

    We had PrimeStar before we had DISH. I haven't seen any of their dishes since the late 90s. When we got DISH they took that PrimeStar dish off and threw it away and used the pole and even the old cable.

    Left Dish Network

    I have the 4 tuner Tablo Next gen dvr and it has worked great. I use it to back up my recordings from the Air tv device I use with Sling Tv. I like the interface but don't really use the extra channels that they have you can record from. The other day the Air tv missed a recording for my...

    Satellite 118 is gone

    None of those have been used in years, especially 148 slot. They lost that one a long time ago. Don't think we ever used 105 for DISH though.

    About a year a half . I think I unhooked it when we got a new TV and cabinet summer of 2023.

    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    I can tell you what I did when I cancelled DISH after 25 years at the beginning of 2022. I had my hopper and joeys still hooked up and my external hard drive still plugged in and my ota antenna and my usb tuner still plugged in. My satellite channels disappeared of course in the guide except...

    Dish Change Question

    I remember when you could use a switch (DP 21 ) and two dishpro lnbs and use to large 30" dishes for 110 and 119 and get a great signal for you service in the high numbers. But that was years ago. My aunt had a set up like that in the country. She rarely lost signal unless it was raining cats...

    What will this one do again? I forget.

    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    By 2030 or sooner, its over. DISH needs to use the DISH interface and guides and stream it with Sling TV pricing and packs you can add or subtract to save money. Sling TV becomes Streaming DISH TV. No need for two versions any longer.

    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    So we went to EA in 2008 and now we are going back to just western Arc period? What happens to 61.5 and 72.7 sats now? I also assume that we are going to more streaming channels to take the place of more of the satellite channels - like the SD ones. So you could get them in HD and you can...

    Strange HWS incident......

    Check your connections on the usb ota tuner and make sure it is plugged in firmly. Wouldn't hurt to rescan the ota channels as well. If it happens again might look at replacing the ota tuner. Also check your snap module is plugged in and if not you could remove it and plug back in firmly. My...

    Roof Repair - Reinstall Dish

    The Roofers will just leave it on the ground and you will still need a DISH tech to come back and reinstall it where it goes. I think they will reinstall it since you can get once a year a free move if you have DISH protect, but you could call and ask. My mom and dad had their ota antenna...

    Dish Survey on New Guide

    Sling TV/Air TV does a pretty good job of sub channel guide for almost all my locals. There is like 6 recent sub channels that don't have it. My Tablo does a good job too and I do get guide information for almost all of them.

    Hopper Guide Missing HD designation

    I don't see why DISH doesn't go ahead and migrate all the SD movie channels to streaming HD channels since you can record them now. I hate watching movies in SD and have never even tried to watch them if they are in SD. I saw at my buddy's house that HBO is all HD now, including the...
