    Seeking Antenna Gurus

    Thanks. I believe I will stand pat at this time and wait as you suggested. RE: 40-1; while I was perusing the site, I found the NICE subchannel page for all the markets and saw that information and have now updated and injected that data into my local spreadsheet. Thanks. I also noticed on the...

    Seeking Antenna Gurus

    907TECH - Thanks. I will take the advice in to serious consideration. I don't know which way I am going yet. But, per Trip I may need to wait until after the final repack happens. I know part of it got postponed because of the hurricane last year. But, I thought it would be done in Feb and not...

    Completed Timers Not Actually Recorded

    I have been having intermittent issues with recurring timers set for new episodes of CBS shows (ViP 622- four years old). I am recording them from my OTA local channel (WRAL-TV5). It started at the beginning of the new fall season. Specifically on Friday night - Hawaii Five-O (9:00) and Blue...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    ".....The eccentricity (i.e. the eccentricity vector) is perturbed by the solar radiation pressure......." So that is the key. If I had solar radiation pressure I would be eccentric AND EXTREEEEMELY perturbed! NO HD FOR YOU!!!!! :D

    Last Season? We should know soon...

    Nope. Been watching since Day One. Everything is relative on 24. Either to give a twist later or to Jack's overall mental plight in what he has sacrificed or what his plight has affected in the lives of others around him. Other posters--------Now, we can Monday morning quarterback the writers...

    Last Season? We should know soon...

    There are NO "unrelated" side stories in 24. They always lead to more chaos and more people not listening to Jack. Tapestry is weaved with little strands.

    HIGHER PRICES COMING PEOPLE

    I foresee the same scenario in my future. It really depends upon our next bill. We currently can get 20+ channels via OTA. Some of the channels we actually watch would be in the higher packages and we just don't see paying much more than we already are for our TV habit. We discussed lowering our...

    Programmers To Ops: Higher Fees Coming

    !protest I do not wish my "free" TV channels to go away. Because when the prices do get too high, I have an outdoor antenna and 20+ channels at $0.00 for receiving these signals. Plus, my local news would not be on any cable channel.

    What is the Max length of cable run?

    It's interesting this thread popped up. I just was able to switch from 110/119/129 satellites to the eastern arc because of no LOS for 129 due to tree leaves sprouting that happens this time of year. (Imagine that!!!!????) The signal from the eastern arc is "less" strength wise than 110/119...

    Recording/Buffer ????

    Curiosity has lead me to the forums. I was recording a movie on one SAT tuner, watching NASCAR on the OTA tuner and the third tuner was just "resting". As happens on Sunday afternoons, I will fall asleep in my easychair. I woke up after about 1.5 hours and decided to rewind the race and...

    Second TV from 722 fuzzy

    Just a suggestion if it hasn't been tried; I had success in changing the output channel on the ViP receiver to a lower numbered channel such as 21. I was doing this for TV2 from my 622 until I put a 612 in the bedroom. I did the same for TV2 at my mom's house from her 222 . The picture was...

    Fox News HD Up and Running

    AT 250 +GoldHD + Platinum HD w/ locals (SD only, but that's another story) I had to call tech support and he re-authorized the channel package for the 622 and performed another check swtch and all is good. The 612 picked it up, no problem. So, I finally figured out that it had to be the 622...

    House Votes Against Delaying Switch to Digital TV

    Sent three e-mails to three local stations. I received two responses. One local station's plan; "If the original Feb 17 date holds (and we should know later today) , we will cease analog broadcasting on that date and move our DTV to channel XX. If the transition is delayed, we will delay...

    Fox News HD Up and Running

    Came home from work and 612 is still OK. 622 not showing HD versions. Had to call Dish after hard reboot and check switch. Technician had to re-authorize programming on 622 and we did a check switch and that finally got it straightened out. So, some of you may need to do the same. He had no...

    Sounds like more than I am able to help with. You may be dead on in that the box could be dying. Hopefully the tech coming on Saturday will get you squared away. Sorry, I was no help. David

    VIP612 issues

    FWIW, a couple of months back, my original 612 remote completely quit working with the receiver. So, I programmed my TV2 remote for my 622 to control my 612. Worked flawlessly for about a month and then the 612 stopped responding to that remote. :confused: Reached in the drawer and pulled out...

    What would happen if...?

    A few points to ponder; Heat build-up? Is the unit in an enclosed cabinet? Are the sides covered? Air is pulled in the left side and exits the right. These units are EXTREMELY sensitive to temperature, the colder the better. How long have you had the unit? When did this start? David

    622 Power Rating Info

    Does anyone have the power consumption, in watts, for the 622 DVR? I was unable to locate needed information via the provided manual. Or, am i just blind in one eye and can't see out of the other? Thanks.
