    Erie, PA NBC, CBS contract with DTV (Agreement Reached)

    Well I'm watching the olympics tonight here in Erie and a crawl comes across the screen saying that if an agreement isn't reached between the NBC affiliate which also happens to own the CBS affiliate in my town then the stations will be dropped. OK so I'm figuring they'll be dropped in the next...

    Could this be signs of a bad install

    Got Direct installed about 2 months ago. The guys did a roof install as I had Dish up there previously. The guys seemed like they'd rather just set it up in the yard, but with kids around all the time and basketballs flying around I wanted it out of the way. So it went on the roof. The guy threw...

    Buffalo Sabres games in Erie

    Had to resurrect this 2 year old thread because for some reason I cannot find a good answer with about 2 hours worth of google search. My situation is that I am in Erie Pa. I would like to know if it is possible to watch the Sabres in HD in Erie. When I go to the Directv site and punch in my zip...

    722 is crashing every time I attempt to scan for locals

    I'm not sure what the deal is here. I've unplugged receiver and tried the hard reboot. Yet every time I try to scan for locals it crashes the receiver. Any one else go through this issue?

    Cannot watch Buffalo Sabres at all

    I live in Erie, PA which is technically in the Sabres market. I subscribed to the Center Ice last night figuring I would probably be able to watch the Sabres on the opposing teams feed. Nope. All blacked out. Now how can they black it out when there is no possible way of watching the Sabres on...

    Programming downgrade once every 12 mos

    I went to change my programming tonight and I get the error message saying programming can only be downgraded once every 12 months. Anybody else have experience with this. I asked the guy on online chat and he said they were having problems with their servers. I'd just ask the online csr to do...

    Will Cleveland locals ever get mirrored

    A few months ago or more there was talk that they would be put on 129. They never were. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge if this is going to happen or not.

    722 Loudness

    I'm up here in northern PA and today was the first real warm day. I think we were in the mid 80's. Anyway I noticed my 722 fan kicking on quite a bit. At times it seemed to run for 15-20 minutes straight. Pretty loud too. It's not enclosed and I don't have anything sitting on it, so it does have...

    Is is possible to have 2 sets of locals

    I was a "mover" who has since "moved" back to my original service address. Problem is they never switched my locals back. Actually it's not much of a problem, as the only reason for going back to actual address was because of a receiver upgrade and tech had to come out to the house. On the Dish...

    Can change programming online now

    Don't know if this has been discussed, but it appears those with Cinemax penny deal can now change programming online. I went on last night and was able to make changes to programming. On a side note I tried to order NHL Center Ice last night through two online chats (prior to realizing I could...

    VS HD in Silver

    I was just on the dish builder and it said that VS HD is included in the Silver HD package. So I checked on the programming page and it says it's still in the Gold Package. I wonder which one is right. That'd be great if they included it in the Silver, I've been waiting for that channel to get...

    Upgraded to HD

    Got the 622 for $50 installed after talking to a couple CSRs and trying to get the best deal. Put me into another 24/mo commitment, which I'm fine with. I like Dish. :) Anyway I tried to get the thing shipped, but for some reason installed was my only option. No biggie, but I thought it seemed...

    Does E* allow adding programming online

    Everytime I've ever tried it I always get an error message, saying I need to call to change programming. I would think to add programming you should be able to do it online without using chat or calling. In the past I've used chat just fine, but why not the option to hit one button to add...

    Question for a "mover"

    I'm going to be ordering a new receiver soon and I was wondering whether any fellow "movers" had success with E* sending the receiver to their billing addresses. Or if it's a better idea to go ahead and "move" back to your actual address then have them send it. I've tried to "move" back to my...

    Programming not showing on website

    After checking the site recently I noticed all the fields in the my programming, my locals, etc were filled with N/A. I added wpix last sunday. It seems it has had the N/A since I added this channel. Anyone else having the same issue?

    Question about getting HBO then cancelling

    I'm thinking about getting HBO for the boxing tonight and canceling it tomorrow. Besides the $5 fee, will I get docked the whole $14.99 for the month or will they pro-rate it.

    Sports Pack Question

    I just called to suscribe to the sports pack for 5.99 basically for the NBA TV channel. I was suprised and delighted to find out that I am also getting Cleveland Cavs games with this package. I figured the games would be blacked out like every other RSN that isn't in my demographic (Erie, PA). I...

    The $5 No Phone Connect Fee

    I've had no phone connected to receiver since Christmas when I discovered that it was messing up my dsl connection. I have not been charged the $5 fee (knock on wood). Do they still charge this fee? I will be looking to get a wireless phone jack if they start to charge me. By the way, first post...
