    Installation Issues Revisited

    Thanks guys. He did get a 722K, but in the area he lives (and me as well), there are too many hills between us and the TV broadcast antennas ~50 miles away. I started looking into it last year. I may have to look again now. Question, with the switchover from Analog to Digital, would this...

    Installation Issues Revisited

    Finally, the installer showed up this morning closer to 12 than to 8 and successfully installed the new setup. After about a 1.5 minute look around the house, he became the HD LOCAL Nazi (not a racist remark, just a reference to the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld) and said "No HD Locals for you!!" and...

    Installation Issues Revisited

    I'm posting for a friend of mine who was scheduled for an new install between 8am and noon today. After calling the Dishstore to set up new service, and confirming an install time with them on this past Friday, he subsequently was contacted by Dish Network on Saturday and by Satellites Unlimited...

    Someone never learned punctuation. Commas and periods are our friends. "Naw, that is it. The rumor is just that, rumor. (We) Will have to wait for the other. It will be soon, real soon. Like two years. That may not be exactly grammatically correct, but at least it is readable.

    Sorry for the confusion. I'm in the Jackson DMA and HD locals were made available on 61.5 last year. My initial post was when I noticed in the recent uplink activity that the Tupelo and Meridian locals were going to be placed on Ciel-2 instead of 61.5, and you answered the reasoning behind it...

    Sorry, I meant that I had to wait for an EA dish to become available for existing customers. I currently have a 1000.2 and would need to update my 501 receiver to an MPEG4 HD model. I've just been waiting upgrade the receiver and dish at the same time when allowed to for existing customers.

    Thanks Digi. I guess I'll still have to wait for EA for existing customers. Not a fan of having a separate dish installed just for those locals.

    I wonder why the Tupelo and Meridian, MS markets are not being placed on the EA? Will they be moved again later on, once they are made available?

    LOL. I was hoping for something so quick but that was just wishful thinking. Now if only the HD locals would be approved for WDBD.

    Tennant Leaving Dr. Who

    I actually liked Christopher Eccleston's role better than Tennant, personally, but then I have always preferred characters will a little darker personality.

    Yet Another Gripe About Billing

    I was sweating when I didn't hear back in 2 days, but finally last night I received an email that this was taken care of. I wish I knew whether they located the receiver in the warehouse or if they just wanted me to stop complaining. Either way, I appreciate the suggestion and all is well...

    I don't know about the rest, but this FOX station wasn't made available in HD when the other three were. Maybe this means it will be available SOON.

    Thanks.. I will do that.

    Yet Another Gripe About Billing

    New charge after 1+ years after upgrading to HD I'm also having a problem with Dish's billing. Sorry for the long post, but this gripe is complicated. Probably why the foreign CSRs can't comprehend it. I upgraded to HD service in April 2007, including a 1000.2 satellite upgrade and ViP622 to...

    Uplink Activity 4/30/08 1:25 PM EDT

    I waited until I was sure no one else had responded. Jackson MS is still stuck at ABC, CBS, NBC (No Fox). Hopefully soon. I'm not sure if the lack of this channel is due to the any litigation or not. Holding out for CW maybe at some point too.

    Does anyone have an idea when the FOX station will be available? I wonder what the complication is for why it was left off the list.

    Uplink Activity 4/23/08 1:30 PM EDT

    I don't know the answer, as I don't have a 61.5 dish, but I would tend to believe SatelliteGuys info over a DISH CSR/Website, at least immediately after the change. Also, the link from E* local channel for the HD Fox affiliate comes back with a statement "Sorry! No 'Network' information...

    Uplink Activity 4/23/08 1:30 PM EDT

    My receiver is set to show HD and SD nationals together in the list. Is there a way to NOT show SD national in the list if there is an HD available? Also, Allegedly Jackson, MS HD locals were turned on today. That doesn't help me right now since I don't have a 61.5 dish. When I am able...

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 4/11/2008 6:37am - No new HD

    You could always look at the number of threads in the Uplink Center forum (this link: SatelliteGuys.US - Powered by vBulletin) and wait for it to change. When it increases, there is another thread (perhaps a new Uplink Activity Report). If that's what you are waiting for, I find that is the...

    What signals can you "see" at 61.5?

    Thanks. I didn't know how long it normally took from Uplink (1.5 weeks ago) to flipping the Available switch.

    What signals can you "see" at 61.5?

    Good to hear about the HD locals for Jackson, maybe they will show up this week. Of course, now I have a choice to make, get a wing dish for 61.5 or wait until Eastern Arc and see if I can get the 1000.4 dish installed. Any hope of becoming a guinea pig (beta tester) for the eastern arc...
