    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    Been a long time since I've been round these parts, but... got my Hopper and 2 Joeys a few months back... 1) The obvious choices like PTAT and whole home HD - but I've always appreciated the clean, snappy guide UI. None better. 2) (the reason why I'm back round here tonight)... I have a lip...

    Suddenly strange issues on 1 year old vip722

    How peculiar. Well, I hit swap, and the other channel was on a local, but not the OTA version. And since I pretty much never use OTA, I removed them all just in case... can always scan for em again down the road. We'll see how it goes!

    Suddenly strange issues on 1 year old vip722

    I had no idea how to search on this in the forums, but this exact thing is happening to me on my 622. Watching MNF on ESPN... says it lost signal. But as soon as I hit the guide button, everything is back to normal for a few minutes... until it pops up the lost signal/002 message again. I'll try...

    Echostar 12 - 61.5 Spotbeam Maps

    Nevermind... I think I'm good. I was actually looking at Transponder 3; should have been looking at Transponder 1 instead... get a steady signal strength of 60 on it. I didn't know that the Point Dish screen alternates between "Spotbeam" and "Transponder". And double-checking The List helps, too. :)

    Echostar 12 - 61.5 Spotbeam Maps

    Manchester, CT 06042 Dish 500 Checked out Spot Beam 3... it starts off as 67 signal strength then drops immediately to 29? Is that normal?

    FX HD and Speed HD now in TurboHD Silver and Platinum HD packages?

    That's exactly it. I know the initial reaction is to jump on the "clueless CSR" here, but they aren't clueless. They are repeating exactly what they have been told. It is not their fault that a CSR or even multiple CSRs do not know what we know. They are the symptoms. Educating the CSR's...

    WOW! Just noticed the new DISH Remote Access Feature

    Love, love, LOVE this feature! I'm an AT&T Dish Network Customer... so, other than a bit of a detour trying to register for an account off the main Dish Network page (gee, why would I think to register where it says "Current Dish Customers?")... I scrolled down, clicked on "Introducing Dish...

    ch 107 CMDY-HD

    Anyone else getting center channel audio out of back left during the South Park episode that's on Comedy Central HD right now with Butters at bi-curious camp? Just curious if it's me or anyone else. Thanks guys...

    ch 107 CMDY-HD

    All current SP episodes are rendered at HD resolution, and they are going back to re-render past seasons at HD rez. People may be quick to laugh, but it is a HUGE difference over the SD episodes.

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    If you had started this as a "Turbo Subscribers are getting a raw deal!" thread, you might have had some more sympathy. Instead you came out guns blazing against a defenseless CSR. This will not garner you sympathy. CSRs generally do not have the up to the minute information that we do here on...

    Theory- Why only some channels in Turbo?

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    I hope that somewhere Betty S is posting to a board about "The Most Unpleasant A-Hole I had the Misfortune of Having to Chat With Today." She didn't cause your problem, yet you take it out on her like she did. It seems like your idea of a "solution that would make you happy" would have been for...

    ice on dish, no signal

    Interesting... same thing here in CT, after all this snow and such... I didn't realize it could cause bad reception on only a few channels - CNBC HD, Weather Channel HD, and Travel Channel HD have been out of commission for a few days now. Everything else is fine.
