    First problem with PTAT

    I just got a hopper with sling installed yesterday to replace a 922. I was looking forward to using autohop this afternoon, but I couldn't find any 'roos on any of the recorded programs. I thought it was something I did wrong. Glad it wasn't, but I really want to use the autohop function.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I voted yes, but I also didn't take the Roku because my TV already streams Amazon VOD. I called in and got a regular CSR who first offered me 3 months of BB at home. Balked at that and he offered me 1 month of Showtime. I literally laughed and told him you've got to be kidding--transfer me to...

    How long do your movies take to arrive in the mail?

    I'm experiencing the same time as you. Appproximately 3 days to me and 3 days back to them. I live in NE MS and BB mails movies to me from Baton Rouge about 250 miles away. Netflix discs come to me out of Memphis and are 1 and 1k, but to be fair, Memphis is a lot closer than Baton Rouge. I...

    Charlie's Blockbuster will love this.

    I'm going to drop streaming too. Nothing more frustrating than watching a blurry picture that stops and starts all of the time. As far as a faster internet connection, some of us don't have many choices. I know, its 2011 and its hard to imagine but its true. I'm stuck with AT&T "Fastaccess"...

    Anyone else notice digital "noise" at top edge of screen?

    I've seen those lines on one of my local stations only during some commercials. The worst offender is a TVA "Energy Right" commercial. It could be the fault of equipment at the local station. I'm watching on a 52 inch Sony LCD.

    Anyone else having problems with their OTA module?

    My OTA channels disappeared from the guide a few days ago. I went into the OTA channel setup up and it claimed I had 255 channels with each of the channels showing computer gibberish as descriptions. I did a reboot and channels all came back. Glad it wasn't just me, but hope it doesn't happen...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    Yeah, I suppose it probably is an internet issue, but I just switched from AT&T Fastaccess DSL 6.0 (which rarely gave me speeds over 5 mpbs) to the fastest consumer ISP available in my area, Metrocast cable at 10.0 mbps. The new service has, as far as I can tell in doing several speed tests a...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't seem to find new movies on Netflix. Even though they may show in a month or so, once you get them in the queue, the newesst movies always show up as "Very Long Wait" or "Long Wait". I've had Legion and The Book of Eli in my queue for several months. I...

    Anyone used a WD Elements WD10000EB035 1TB External Drive with Dish?

    2.0 TB WD external drive connected to a 622 and working great here.

    What is the maximum usable space for an EHD with Dish's one time archiving EHD fee?

    OLs403 is spot on. I have the same drive and have achieved exactly the same results. Drive was a good bargain at $115. Replaced a 500 GB Seagate with the sleep problem and I couldn't be happier with the new drive.

    Thanks DISH for keeping on top of situation

    r10fret, you actually make a very good point about the lack of backup on WCBI's and Dish's part. I suppose if they'd been prepared for this contingency it wouldn't have taken 2 days for them to have accomplished this. I'm just glad we were able to get something to take the channel's place. I...

    Thanks DISH for keeping on top of situation

    I just want to publicly acknowledge something that DISH has done and really didn't have to do and probably couldn't do a few days ago. Our local CBS affiliate, WCBI, Columbus, MS, burned out its transmission line over the weekend and has been off the air since sometime Saturday. So we've been...

    Roanoke HD Locals Tomorrow?

    That's about par for the course. From a definite launch date of April 23 to sometime in the summer. It isn't even being referred to as "soon". Maybe by this time next year we'll see something.

    4/22/2009 5:22pm - Uplink Activity Report - 4 changes

    I share your pain...my locals were supposed to be up today too and like Ft. Smith, they've been uplinked for some time. I think we're close though, I've got the Channel 77 in my guide saying HD Locals are here, but here's the funny part--I can't actually tune to 77. So just when are they going...

    Great E*! Congrats to Grand Junction and Earth fans. Now where's the rest of your promised locals? Should have known getting new HD on time here would be just another one of many broken promises. Get to work and stick to getting what you say your going to accomplish....accomplished.

    Netflix Raises Fees for Blu-Ray...AGAIN!!!

    I just got the email that my 3 at a time plan is going up by $3. Does this mean that they're actually going to buy enough Blu-rays where I don't have to always see short wait or long wait on my queue? I've been thinking about cancelling because I'm tired of waiting so long for what I want to...

    Only speculation here, but most everyone in this area has had a 1000.2 dish installed for HD programming. Even E5 gave us a decent signal in this part of the country, so that's why there's a large installed base of 1000.2's. To me this is good news that they are going to put these on the WA...

    You're right, Digi...they finally uplinked my DMA's HD locals. Never really expected it to be this early, but I'll take 'em. OTA is pretty good here, but it'll be great to be able to record two local HD channels at once.

    Lost locals till reboot

    Happens to me every couple or three weeks on my 622. Been doing that for two years no matter what software level has been running. Gotten used to doing the soft reboot when needed.

    OTA Antenna Mounted on Dish 500 or Mast

    I'm not sure how far you are from the stations you want to get, but here's what's working for me about 30 miles from the transmitters of my five basic networks (all of which are in different directions). When I had my Dish system installed 2 years ago, I contracted with my installer to set...

    WPCH HD - Peachtree TV to launch

    Thanks again, John, for the detailed reply. I guess the writing is on the wall and its going to have to be a subscription to Comcast or D* this spring to be able to catch the games. What a messed up series of circumstances.
