    Losing Signal During the Day. Fine at Night!

    This is super annoying. D* Installed this past spring, April. Never had any signal loss up until a few weeks ago, where it went out all day & night. I got up on our roof, just pushed the dish around a bit (didn't mess with alignment). Just thought it was maybe off a hair, IDK. But doing this...

    When a new National HD channel launches, will it be stickied here?

    Just curious, since I don't get any new channel updates any other way and have custom guides, I worry that when a new channels goes HD (or gets added), that I won't know about it. And I only check in here maybe once a week, so I don't have time to go through every post in the past week or more...

    How do I find 1080p movies?

    Still getting used to my D* reciever and navigating on demand. I can find a lot of HD movies, but I'm told there are 1080p movies available, however I don't know how to find them. How do I know the difference between regular HD and 1080p? I've looked through many of the popular rentals, but no...

    HR23 Software/HD Channel Updates. How does this work?

    I've been through the settings on my HR23. I'm new to D*. Just had E*, and those recievers would shut down every night and check for updates. These HR23's (and a regular HD reciever) don't seem to do that, or if they do I've never noticed. Nor can I find a setting that mentions anything about...

    Wow! Super Nice HD on VH1!

    Just wanted to note this as this was something I didn't expect. I am new to D* and definitely watch some VH1 programming. With E* I was so used to the compressed to hell SD feeds like when I watched Rock of Love last week (hey, I like to watch train wrecks, don't judge!). So I tune in this...

    DVR Scheduler has my Access Card ID's backwards! How can I fix?

    I have 2 HR23 HD DVR's, new install. When I went into DVR Scheduler on my PC, I set for a show to record in the bedroom DVR, but it didn't show up there, yet it did show up on the living room DVR. Works the other way around too where if I schedule something for living room, it ends up in the...

    How to assign a 2nd remote to a reciever? Not having any luck.

    I have an HR23 in our main room. Then we are running a sdtv mirrored off that reciever in the room underneath that one. The plan was to just get an extra remote (which I did, exact same model remote as the original one, RC64R), & program it to also be able to control that reciever (in RF mode...

    Got D* installed today, E* is gone! My experience so far...

    D* exceeded my expectations today. I thought the installer would take 5 hours due to each room needing a reciever & thought that the way our cable is run might be an issue, but the installer said that it would have been a problem 6 months ago, but recently it isn't (not sure why, but it was...

    Cancelling E* contract, what do we do with the equipment?

    For a few reasons, we have just had it with E*, can't do it anymore, they screwed with us one too many times. So we just scheduled for D* to come and set us up on apr 2nd. So we are going to wait to cancel E* until we are definitley up and running with D*. When this happens, we are aware that...

    About to switch to D* from E*, but have some doubts. Convince me!

    OK, so my E* contract is due up in a couple months, but due to a nasty price increase (about $17 on our package, which is just an old 250 package with all the HD, we don't have any premiums). Basically... Yes, E* is truly having their cake and eating it too. Just the way they "re-structured"...

    Altoona-Johnstown, Let's Get Our HD Locals Like DTV Users Did (Petition?)

    This is getting very irritating, and I wanna rep my DMA (which is in the top 100, albeit late 90's) because I was told by Dish a few months back that we would at least be on the HD local list, if not have them, by football season. That said, I wouldn't be nearly as irritated had DirectTV not...
