It's amusing how stupid this decision was to put this ad up on the screen, and even more amusing that the dish guy at the beginning of the thread has opted out of saying anything else. How dumb. Then they wonder why people are leaving satellite tv and cable in droves. DURH.

I just did this today, and it was easy. I told them I wanted to downgrade to locals only, so it's 9.99 plus 6 dollar access fee (plus taxes, which I hope are small). With all the other ways to get the programming I want, the 250 pack just wasn't worth the 70 bucks extra at all anymore. I...

Really? The bill was generated on Feb 10th and covers 2/25-3/24

Strange, I have a single 622 (that I purchased a few years ago, not leased) and the top 250, and hd platinum. I get charged for locals, but I don't get charged a dvr fee...

Guy came today to bury the pole and mount the dish... All of my signals are down by at least 5 points. Some are not even at the minimum listed on the sheet.

I don't know what others would recommend, but I think it would help to see a diagram if nothing else. You might have to use some filters in this setup. Myself, I don't have this type of setup, but I distribute cable tv, modulated security cameras, and tv2 from my vip622 (similar to 722)...

Maybe it's just me, but when I searched for retailers, the only one that really came up that was "close" was century link, formerly embarq, formerly sprint. I hesitate to call them for the time or even directions, let alone to get me a satellite receiver. I'm probably just going to order a...

I'm supposed to have a tech out to bury a pole to put the freshly temp-installed 1000.4 dish (which is working great btw) a week from today, I am going to ask the tech if they have a 722k on the truck that I can purchase and sign an agreement for. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll try to add...

I currently own a vip622. I would like the 722k for the increased recording capacity and dual ota capability. I call dish, they tell me they can only have it replaced with a random vip622, 722 or 722k. They tell me there is a better chance of getting the 722k if I "add a second receiver", but...

Hrm. Not sure what the deal is, but via chat and by calling dish directly, I've been told that I can't get a vip 722k. Or a 722. They say that they can't guarantee what would be delivered. They said it could even be another 622. They told me that I could try going to a retailer like...

Last year, when I didnt get hd locals, they didn't charge me. I even explained that, but it's as if I was talking to a wall. The supervisor was polite, but still not very helpful. The first loyalty rep was actively working against me. I sent the email off... we'll see what happens...

I spent an hour on the phone with loyalty dept. They would not budge on wiping the charge out, but reduced it to 49.99. I am pretty irritated because they seem to have NO official policy for dealing with customers not receiving channels. The supervisor I spoke with kinda alluded to this...

When they installed mine yesterday, I asked because it seemed like signal strengths were low compared to 110/119. I was told that this is normal. The lady had a sheet (that I photocopied ) that showed what transponders they go off of in each of the 3 local counties and what those strengths...

Best install ever. British woman came by, hated my current mounting, remounted the whole thing, ran all new rg6, installed the 1000.4, got a great signal strength, and even gave me a spare uhf remote (free). Very happy. All channels are coming in without issue.

John, not to pour salt in your wounds (I had the same experience with the HD channels being off), but when you live on the bleeding edge, sometimes there is blood... as in, you knew it was risky based on this thread, you have to be willing to accept that they dont have a plan if you are calling...

oh, and I just discovered that I have lost channels... foxnews hd is gone, as are a bunch of others. cinemax is still hd and fine, but others are gone...I think I am in the same boat as dont24 where they have removed channels in anticipation of getting the new dish... ah well... I can...

Last year, I found out that local channels in greenville, nc were NOT being received on my vip622 because they were on a spot beam on 61.5. I asked them to put me on eastern arc, and give me a new dish to replace my 1000.2 - they ended up taking the 1000.2, installing a 500 next to a dual lnb...

Bingo. I have been using a favorites list for so long I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the detailed inspection! All is good in jmel land now. :D

attached are the screenshots: EDIT: Just discovered a SLEW of channels that are missing... 19 and all subchannels, subchannels from 17, 38 and subchannels, and 1 of the subchannels from 50... why wont the vip622 display these channels that I receive just fine off antenna??? :(

I have some attic antennas and can pick up 5.1 ota via my dish 622vip at 75%. For some reason, no matter how many rescans I do, I can't pick up 5.2 on the 622. I can see it on the tv just fine if I move the antenna to the tv directly instead. I read some directv forums and saw that some users...

Frankly, they dont seem to care... many of us have emailed them on numerous occasions to no avail.

I guess I'll have to stick with the raleigh move, and upgrade my dish here in the next few months. I dont have a switch atm, so that means new dish and switch.... probably a good 180 -200 dollar investment. :(

Thats good to know. I changed back to raleigh for the time being, but realized that I need a 1000+ instead of a 1000.2 which I have now. I just want to be able to (now it doesnt matter since the seasons over) record heroes, 24, and for my wife that old christine show all at the same time. I...

no one?

another question... atlanta... thats conus as well for hd right? I just wanna get the main networks. I have an ota for my real locals.
