    Dish receiver Swap....... Shenanigans!

    We cancelled dish in January after ~10 years. We were skeptical at first, but are very happy we did. We had a 722 and a 211k (still do) that worked flawlessly. We set the parents up with our old 301 on the welcome pack + encore. they have been very happy with it, even with the price...

    Texting + Driving = BOOM!

    Yesterday morning was interesting....... Young kid said he was sending a text message and dropped his phone. He reached down to get it and managed to take out our mailbox and crash into the neighbor's tree. He tried to flee, but the truck stalled out on him. Luckily he was not hurt, and no kids...

    WEIRD stuff going on.....

    So after a long day of work yesterday, grabbed a cold one, and sat on the couch to catch the local news. Flipped on the tv and the 722 ---this is what came on :eek: Started checking the setting as sometimes our 1.5 year old gets a hold of the remote and changes things. Everything was OK...

    ABC HD quality ?????

    Over the past few months we have noticed the quality of our local ABC in HD has gotten terrible. There are red pixels that come up all over the place and the HD is fuzzy a lot of the time. We recorded a show via OTA to compare, and the OTA was flawless. Has anyone else experienced this...

    Switched to D? Are you losing channels now too??

    noticed today a few channels are stating D* will lose them if negotiations are not met. Seems it does not matter who you have as a provider--- everyone who thought this would happen was right on the money(+1). Wonder how many people wish they would have stayed put, because it looks likes this...

    What happened to "My Contracts" under "My Account"?

    It used to be there. Where did it go? Why was it taken away? Seems a little shady not wanting customers to see how much longer they are under contract. Isn't it a waste of time having to call and verify?

    Best bang for the buck??

    I am thinking about reconnecting service with dish and would like some input. With all the price changes, what package is currently the best value for the money? I have one 722k. I am thinking top 120 w/ locals + hd (for life) @ $39.99 + $6 dvr = ~$50/mo. Let me know what you would...

    Visionsat help needed

    A friend had some water spilled on his receiver. Now it will not receive signal on 97. It will pick up 101 and just about every other satellite I pointed it at EXCEPT 97. This was a stationary setup and is quite baffling. receiver works fine on other sats. I rebooted and re-flashed but it is...

    Can't watch Rangers game in TX?

    I'm not a huge baseball fan, but my buddy and I decided to watch the Rangers v. Rays game today. TBS is in the package I sub to, but was shocked when I tried to tune to the game this afternoon. When I turned to channel 139 i got the "Attention 743" "this program is not availble for viewing...

    129 & south texas

    I have had no luck getting a reliable signal on 129. i have clear view and was hoping I could swing from 61.5 over to it since the HD locals for my area have been added there. :p all the installs in my area have the wing pointed to 61.5. even the local installers tell me all new installs...

    Combine KU & DSS ???

    I have a friend who wants to setup Galaxy 25 along with his current dish sub. He lives in a 100 year old spanish style home and had the 2 satellite lines installed during a remodel. Both lines run to a HD receiver off of two separate satellite dishes. One line goes to a Dish 500 and the...

    Diamond 9000HD + Heat

    Have any of you Diamond owners noticed how hot this unit gets? Mine is in the entertainment center, but I had to move some wires around yesterday and I was stunned at how hot it was. It had been off all day :eek:! Needless to say, I took it out and have it sitting on my work bench. I am...

    n00b diseqc config question

    so i installed my second geosatpro this weekend and hit 101. i got pretty good signal and everything on the list came in except llbn and kuil. i'll tackle that later. i thought installing the diseqc 2.0 switch i had would be easy and straight forward, but i must be missing something. i put...

    Will this work?

    My second GeoSatPro dish is on its way and I plan to point to to AMC4. I would like to pull in the C-band NBC channels on AMC4 as well. Do you think I can pull them in if i buy a C AND KU-BAND SATELLITE LNBF and mount it on the 36" dish? I have read about minibuds, but I am curious if anyone...

    Best FEEDs Bird?

    Well, it looks like I am going to stick to a stationary dish. SATAV is taking care of me 110% percent though. I will shop with them again for sure! Right now I have the dish stationary on 10r and would like to know which bird usually has the best feeds. I would like to hear your input...

    Install driving me a little Nutz

    I received my system from SatelliteAV and went to point the dish today. The mounting post is perfectly level, so I installed the motor & dish as close to TS as possible. When I checked it, signal was at 80 quality at 30. I adjusted and ended up with 82 signal and 72 quality on 97 (my zip is...

    Looking at getting my first FTA setup

    Well, that was the system I was going to get, but the wife really stressed her point about the PVR. So, I am looking at getting the VISIONSAT IV200 PVR MOTOR 36 INCH SYSTEM from satelliteav. IT seems like the only 2 birds we are interested in are galaxy 10r and amc 4. Should i still go...
