ConsumerMan: Satellite TV complaints soar - Business - Consumer news - ConsumerMan - msnbc.com Interesting Article

I was pondering the idea of putting a DTV converter in the SUV using the composite inputs and using some sort of mobile antenna mounted on the front and rear window. Was mentioning this to someone and they laughed and said WILL NOT WORK. Added by saying the DTV signal receiver / antenna...

Have a situation I don't fully understand. When I choose a VOD and start watching immediately, everything is fine. It comes in full screen on my Panasonic HDTV (720p) set. After watching it then go back and watch it again afterwards- say a few hours later, the screen has two black marks on...

Can content on the 722 be transferred off to an EHD while recording something at the same tme? YEA or NEA ??

Why am I getting this screen more and more often? There are NO storms within 100 miles of here. It does it on Locals - just screwed up some Olympic Coverage:( This happened several times over the last few days. Other channels (non-locals) seem to be OK I can go to OTA and get it fine....

In preparation for extensive recording of the upcoming Olympics, I seriously need to add an EHD. *Consensus says WD 750 is the best bet?? I have searched everywhere and only see scattered conflicting answers on moving an EHD between a 622 and a 722. Some say after 3 moves it becomes...

I can't tell by looking, but at last time installer came out to fix drift, he put up another new dish. I asked if it was the 1000.2 and he said yeah... But I don't know. Can anyone say this is or isn't a 1000.2? THX

...and 101. So... I call Tech. We do the do-see-do again. 6, 1, 1, then 6,1,3 and he asks me about drift. So, 110, 119 are -6 and 129 is -9. ** All the other HD receivers are getting a signal just fine. Granted 129 signal strength is mid 20's, but stable! He then says, will send...

I've seen a lot of posts here about using a wing dish for 61.5. Is there any significant reason why, if the main dish (either a 1000 or 1000.2) is pointing for 110, 119, 129. Is there some advantage for having 61.5 in addition to the other 3 orbital birds? Does 61.5 still mirror 129?

Recall in an earlier post, I had a new roof put on and was wondering what success I would have in trying to reinstall myself. (the E* folks seem in absolutely no hurry to help and send someone out). Well, I got it back on the roof and mounted! To my amazement it acquired a signal right...

After a series of confusing calls between the CSR's at Dish, and the installers 'winging it', Here's what I've got. I have the Dish 1000 with 3 LNB (110, 119, 129) coming into a DPP 44 switch. Three of the ports OUT are all going to 3 HD receivers, 2 with splitters. The remaining SD...

Hopefully somebody can help me out here. We were one of thousands who went thru Wed nights storms in the Dallas area. Our house didn't fare to well.. Fence gone, trampoline tossed on neghbors roof, chimey damage, etc. Insurance has determined the roof is a total loss and since it is a...

With so much HD programming (both on locals and dish), on a 622, the HD times are so little compared to SD recording. Anyone know if there is a way to re assign disk space to allow for more HD recordings on any of the HD DVR's?

I had an original thread **HERE**. In a nutshell, we now have a 211, 622 and recently added a 722. The installer came out and dinked with many things trying for a signal. (He clearly had no idea what he was doing). Finally, at my suggestion (that I got here), he added in a DPP44...

If you have HD service, does an HD signal come out of ALL of the outputs? I've got a 4 receiver system. I tried to move one of the HDTV's to another room and connected it to a wire that was connected to a 301 receiver. I got a few channels, but none were HD, and missing a ton of channels...

So, this xmas, we are getting our 3rd HDTV for the house. I've got a 622 (sucks as the HDMI won't work - and they won't send another one - said just use component cables) and a 211. I want another 622 (or similar HD-PVR). So, a call to those more than friendly CSR's inquiring about how I...

...30 minutes with NOTHING happening. Didn't want to just pull the plug, so waited nearly 45 minutes to get through to Level 2 HD tech support. *here's where it gets absurd* So, I tell the guy what's happening - he says ok, do a front panel reset, which I did.. after 20 minutes, same...

Watching Hockey playoffs last night -- 2 min left in 3rd, (Stars up by 1), when, out of nowhere, the picture and sound from the HDMI cable output of the 622 to the TV went south. No PIC - No SOUND. By the time I was able to redirect the output of the 622 to Rf, (got a picture, but...

Was tinkering around with my 622 the other night and decided to load up some nice digital pics to use for slideshow. These were all taken on a good 5 Meg Pixel Camera. If I plug camera direct to my Panasonic Plasma, the pics show full screen and look REALLY nice! But after they are...

...Thank You to Scott for the "special" phone number that things actually got done. The text below is a copy of an Email I received from Dave L at E*, his reply and my follow up of today. Enjoy the reading! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: Laslo, David...

Ran across this and thought it to be priceless! Mujibar was trying to get a job in India. The Personnel Manager said, >>"Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it >>you >>cannot qualify for this job." >> >>Mujibar said, "I am ready." >> >>The manager said...

...anyone - how can I convince them I don't need a pro-installer to waste his and my time to hook up a 44, separator and power inserter? There HAS to be a way short of me having to buy one on Ebay. Anyone got any ideas on how to acquire this part before April 12? *GEESH* This is...

...I'll let you know if they come back on the phone in the next 3 or 4 hours while I wait.. Can still do my work on another line + comptuer work. ****UPDATE**** The 'on hold call' somehow got switched to the Dallas Distribution Hub. Unfortunately, the person was unable to tell me if...

...too. So.. now I sit like a 16 year old girl waiting to see if a guy will ask me to go to the Prom with him. This SUCKS - a complete waste of time - not to mention that I didn't get to sleep in on a Sunday cause he calls at 7:30 and says he'll be here at 8. F* it. going back to...
