    Lost even transponders on 101

    Sometime last night, I lost all the even transponders on the 101 satellite. We had some storms come through last night, so I'm wondering if this could be an alignment issue or do I have some bad equipment. What are typically the causes of this kind of outage? Before I wait in the phone queue...

    Terk TV42 Antenna with a switch

    I'm getting DTV installed tomorrow. My set up will be 4 rooms including a dual-tuner Tivo, so they will be installing a 4x8 switch. I also bought a Terk TV42 antenna to use with the new setup. (So I can get Canadian OTA channels.) It just ocurred to me that the switch complicates the...

    Condition of returned lease remotes

    I'm probably going to be quitting Dish soon. Two of the remotes I have (a 522 IR and a 301) have some dog-chewing marks on them. They work perfectly. If I return these to Dish, are they going to charge me for the damage? If so, how much? I want to know if it's worth it to pick up some cheap...

    Considering switching from Dish. Need advice.

    I'm ticked about losing OLN on Dish, so I'm considering switching over to DirecTV. Just to level set, here is what I have on Dish (all leased): Dish 500 w/ DishPro quad LNB 1 522 in single mode 2 301s AT180 w/ locals (Upgraded from AT120 last month to get OLN) I want as close to the...

    No future local channel program info

    My 501 was replaced with a 522 yesterday. So far most things are great. (Hopefully there will be an update soon that will let me reverse the channel order like on the 501, 301, etc. ) I'm experiencing one big problem, though. There is no program data (i.e. it displays "Info not available")...

    Will this diplexer setup work?

    I have a 522 on the way to replace my 501. I currently have two cables running from the 501 back to the basement where all the wiring is congregated. One brings the satellite signal from the dish to the 501, and the other sends the RF output from the 501 back to the basement where I split it...

    Cancelling Dish/DHP

    My DHP contract is now up, and I have no confidence that E* will deliver a two-tuner PVR as good as a Tivo anytime soon. So I've decided to switch to DirecTV. How will cancellation work? Will Dish come get the equipment, or will they send RMA labels for me to send it back? I've got boxes for...

    Can I get a 522?

    I am a current DHP customer. My commitment for my current equipment (501 and 2 301s) is up next month. Will I be able to call Dish and upgrade to a 522? I'm desperate for a two-tuner PVR. If Dish won't accommodate me, I may switch to DTV.

    522 questions

    I just had a Dish 500, a 501 and 2 301s installed on Nov 1 with DHP. The 522 looks really attractive to me, but I have some questions. First, when they eventually offer it as an upgrade, will I be able to upgrade, which I assume will require a commitment, or will I have to wait for my...
