Hi - we just had our Dish system installed after a move from Comcast - everyone in the family is very happy in general with the system (2 hoppers, 3 Joeys). One glaring omission that has one of my kids full attention - we can't find Cartoon Network in the OnDemand section. When we browse "TV...

Hi - I'm a new Dish customer with 2 hoppers and 3 joeys installed. For the most part, everything seems to be working well and we're pretty pleased with the service. All of our boxes can see both Hoppers recordings in the DVR listing by manually selecting the DVR. Is there any way to have...

I have moved to a new home (NYC area) and am trying to avoid Comcast if possible! I've done some homework here (great forum) but do have some questions/clarifications to request help with. I have 5 TVs that I will be connecting. The home has what looks to be an 'old' Dish satellite on the...

How frequently do receivers phone dish network? I don't have an easy way of plugging some of my receivers into a phone jack, and am wondering how frequently these boxes normally try to connect to the E* mothership... If it matters, the two receivers I can't normally plug in are a 508 and an 811.

On my 811, my sat delivered locals do not map to local channels like any other receivers. I understand from reading here that this may be 'by design' to support OTA broadcasts. I do not even have an antenna attached, so is it possible to have it remap my locals? Maybe a setting in the Setup...

I am confused about the pricing of distant locals on Dish. I currently have my locals via LIL, but am also eligible for Distant locals via Dish. When I called to add the NYC Locals, I was told no problem, and that it was only $3.00 additional? That really surprised me - I had expected an...

I know - this topic never seems to end... I did a lot of searches, but haven't quite seen the answer I am looking for. I live in an area that has locals available via Dish Network. I live near the local broadcast towers, so am not eligible for any distant networks or CBS HD. However, way...

I have read much about using diplexers to get my antenna output to each of my sat receivers. Sounds good. I am wondering if anyone has also used diplexers to get the RF output of their DVR (508 in this case) onto the sat coax IN ADDITION so that I can access the DVR output from other TVs...

Sorry if this is a newbie question - I've done some searches and haven't found a definitive answer... I currently had a D500 with a Legacy Quad driving 3 receivers (2 301's and 1 508). One output from the D500 Quad is unused. I am planning to add an 811 Receiver very soon for HDTV and...

Is is possible that Dish will work with some 'major' DMAs to provide HD feeds from ABC, NBC, FOX, or the Superstations? Maybe from one of the distant DMAs (NYC or LA?) so that all of those local customers, and those that get distant networks would have access to something other than just CBS...
