I have been researching the possibility of streaming DirecTV. I had the satellite service several years ago. I have tried several of the "cable like" streaming services and as a senior citizen do not like all of the extra button pushing just to bring up a guide and worse yet record a single...

I was able to find a member who indicated that MeTV is HD with Direct. What about H&I and COZI? If not HD, are they at least full screen 16:9?

Trip: El Paso, Texas got it's first ATSC 3.0 today. I have a Sony OLED that can tune the channels. KDBC, KVIA, KTSM KFOX and KTDO are all using the RF 15 frequency. It seems that FOX, Comet, Charge and Nest are on RF 26 with the other Telemundo stations. I am sure you can sort this out...

I am thinking about switching from the Western Arc to Eastern. In a previous thread I asked about the LNB drift I am seeing on the "issues" under settings. A most knowledgeable member stated that it is due to a failing refurbished LNB or poorly aimed dish. I don't have a lot of faith that my...

I returned to DISH about two weeks ago and happened across the "issues" button in the "status" section of settings. It shows "LNB Drift detected". Sometimes it is both satellites and other times just one. The numbers in parenthesis are generally around -5 or -6. Most of the threads on this...

I recently went back to DISH with the Duo and 120 package without locals. I have an outdoor antenna and get strong reception of the El Paso channels. I am sure the answer to some of my concerns is here but the search terms are so common that I can not find them. 1. Does one have to subscribe...

My favorite radio station, KWML AM 570 is about 60 miles away but at its daytime power of 5,000 watts I receive it quite well. However, for the past couple of weeks I believe they are leaving it at the nighttime power of 155 watts. I can just barely hear it. They have a 215 watt FM translator...

It would certainly be convenient if someone with the computer skills could make a list of which channels are now on 110 and 119 out of all the recently posted information. A gentleman used to have a web site with an abundance of such information but it is widely know he is no longer active.

Is the "Outdoor Plan" the only way to avoid a contract with DISH? I do not have a RV but have been offered a free dish and 211z. I am capable of setting up and pointing the dish myself. Also, is there an activation fee if not on one of the promotional plans? I just do not want to ever again...

I have been looking into satellite radio as most of the radio stations where I live are in Spanish and the one "Oldies" station that I enjoy is on AM, 60 miles away. I am only interested in home reception. The AM station is fine in the car locally, and on the occasional out of town trip I...

With all of the recent changes on the Western Arc is there a current list of which channels (including spot beams) that are on each satellite location? I have searched for such information but most of it is obviously very out of date. Thanks.

I see in the fine print of my 2 year commitment that a base package of $29.99 is required. What is $29.99? I have "Googled" some old information about Choice or Family plans but am not sure if they are still available or for what price and included channels. At my age a crisis is just one...

Since it has been a couple of years since this subject was brought up I thought I would start a new thread. I just received my used AM21N from eBay today. It works just as expected! I did a lot of research both here and on a couple of other forums whether the unit would work with a Genie...

Is there any quick way to see which satellite is being used for the channel I am currently viewing? I believe that when I had Dish if I went to the signal meter screen it showed the current satellite and strength. With the Genie the signal diagnosis always starts with the 101 location although...

As I tidied up the original installation I found I needed to sit my Genie DVR vertically. Other than that, it gets plenty of ventilation, in fact the air slots are now on the top rather than the side. It seems a lot of equipment sits vertically nowadays but would this be a problem with the...

I am having to log in every time I visit. I am staying logged in with other sites such as Zap2it and DirecTV. The check mark next to "stay logged in" seems rather grey. If I hover the pointer over it it turns black but when I move the pointer away it turn back grey again. I hope this helps.

Well, I tried several live TV streaming services but became frustrated with most of them. They use a remote with just the "OK" button and 4 arrows. Any action requires multiple pushes and scrolling. Even Sling eliminated the ability to record just one episode of a show. Just because I see...

I only use the locals from the Welcome Pack. The locals only Pack is not available in Texas. I am getting a signal strength of 20 on a neighboring spot beam which actually locks in but I am doubtful it could ever be reliable. According to the spot beam maps there should be a couple of spot...

Can a pair of OTA/DISH diplexers still be used? It has been many years since I have used them and a lot has changed since 1999 both in OTA and DISH LNBs. I really do not want to drill another hole in my trailer not do I have the tools and skill to do so. I seem to only have one Eagle Aspen...

I have seen on James Long's site that several cities including Austin have two HD spot beams. Most but not all are from both the 129 and 61.5 locations. That certainly makes it easier for installations where LOS may be a problem but I doubt that is the primary reason given how stingy DISH...

Here in El Paso the CW network is on channel 7-2 which is owned by the local ABC affiliate on 7-1. The CW is in HD OTA and on cable but downgraded to SD on Dish. I know Dish has a history of only allowing the "Big Four" networks to be carried in HD if they are on an OTA sub-channel. FOX in...

If I could pull in a couple of OTA stations from the neighboring DMA (New Mexico) would there be guide data with the dual tuner module? Or is that restricted to the same DMA as the subscribed Locals?

Yesterday I pulled the trigger and signed up for AT 120 even though what I really wanted was the Flex Pack. I was told just to choose 120 then immediately change on-line which I did. I had same day installation and was somewhat disappointed to get the old Hopper 1 after reading a recent thread...

I would appreciate more information on the Locals Only Pack but do not want to hijack another member's thread. I have searched over the several threads with related information. 1. One entry mentions that it is only available in certain states in relation to...

I will be visiting my relatives in the Kingman, AZ area in December and they always have antenna questions and problems for me. I was checking the rabbitears listing for Kingman and see that the translator for Phoenix's CW affiliate at virtual 61 shows as carrying four HD signals from the...
