    New Promotions Aug 1?

    I already had the HBO/Showtime 3 month promotion last year. I called them last week with a question about my VIP722 and after I got my question answered the CSR said that if I gave them my email address I could have HBO/Showtime for free for 3 months. I said sure and it was on all my sets in...

    What Ever Happened to ESPNU HD???

    The signal from Charlotte goes by fiber to Bristol CT to our main headquarters and satellite farm. From there it is uplinked to the satellite. So it goes to space out of the same facility as the other ESPN channels. Feeds from the games themselves come into Charlotte by fiber and by satellite...

    What Ever Happened to ESPNU HD???

    I have not been told a time frame. What I know is part of it has to do with tier positioning. As I am sure you know all content providers want to be on the lowest tier they can be on so that they have as many eyes on the commercials as possible, carriers on the other hand want to move you up to...

    Thought you guys might like a look at the U control rooms. The room with the large wall of HD monitors is our new HD control room which will go on line later this year. The other room is the current SD control room which will go HD in the future also. Enjoy.

    espnu

    Yeah that battle goes on all the time at work, but the graphics junkies always seem to win. I think there is way to much on the screen too and they still keep asking us to add more. HD did not give way to bigger pictures in some cases, it just gave way to adding more graphics.

    Installer says 61.5 being emptied

    I had almost the same story told to me. Installer was sent to my house by Dish to move me from 129 to 61.5 because of issues I had with 129, and because my locals were being moved to 61.5. When the installer got here he refused to install the 61.5 dish because he said " The government is taking...

    LONG distance to Dish - will this work?

    I dont know about the amp, but for that distance I would run RG11 instead of RG6. Right from the start that will help your signal level. Plus for burial RG11 is a much more substantial cable.

    My locals moved to 61.5

    According to EKB my HD locals here in Charlotte on 61.5 have finally been turned on, but my 722 keeps pulling them in from 118.7 even though I have a second dish pointing at 61.5. How do I force the receiver to switch over to 61.5? Or should I just disconnect the 118.7 feed from my switch...

    Hoa

    My HOA tried to do the same thing. 5 years after my first dish was installed they told me to take it down, that they dont allow antennas, but I could "apply" for a waiver. I printed out the FCC fact sheet, and left a copy on the presidents door step and sent a copy to the management company. I...

    According to EKB Dish has been uplinking the Charlotte NC locals in MPEG4 to 61.5 for several weeks now, yet Dish is not letting those signals be seen by the public. So we are still getting our locals in MPEG 2 from the 110 bird. How long does dish noramlly take to let the users see a channel...
