    DISH HD Information

    This is all facinating and so weird at the same time. I was a Turbo subscriber and at some point they switched me to America silver... OK... so now it says in my account that I have Dish America Silver * - Any account changes and I can't go back to this type of package as it no longer...

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    They tech guy wouldn't help me because I wasn't in front of the TV... have to call them back tonight, no biggy, though he said a tech visit even w/ protection plan will cost "he thinks" $15 and I "may" be required to pay for the new LNBF. What's a LNBF cost? How can they charge you for an item...

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    Good to know I don't need to cut down my neighbors tree or house. Can I assume Dish will pay? I do have a protection plan and its causing a service interuption.... guess I need to call and set up an appointment. Good news is that I think all our HD is intact. :-D

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    Ok, here is what I did - I went through the transpoders that follow on 119. After I ran a check switch, took awhile, but seemed ok and 4 green boxes but still nothing for 11. 6 - 42 7 - 0 8 - 34 9 - 0 10 -32 11-0 12-44 13-0 14-32 15-0 16-43 17-0 18-41 19-0 20-41 I do find it odd that all...

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    I'll have to look later when I get home - you think maybe they are all a bit weak and that one is just too weak? I doibt a tree grew suddenly in a four day span but maybe a wind gust did something bad?? Give me some trasponder #'s and I'll check signal strength at lunch.

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    I did that yesterday as well as rebooting the DVR and it didn't work. checkswitch shows 4 green boxes, so to speak. the only thing I am thinking "may" be possible is that my DVR hasn't gotten an update in quite awhile. No phone or internet line near it.

    119 Transponder 11 not working?

    I was hoping to hear or read others were having issues but only see one 119 thread. Starting sometime last week or this weekend (we were gone) we stopped being able to get anything on 119 transponder 11. I know that includes ESPN2, an HBO channel and a few others. I get no signal at all for...

    List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network: Version 2 Updated

    Wasn't Playboy in HD a long time ago, when Dish had only like 5-6 HD channels? It must not have been popular if they removed it. One would think Adult HD would be very popular, since they are specifically viewing to 'see' things. :D And at like 16-30 bucks per month, folks are really paying...

    Turbo Add-Ons

    A few months back when I signed up for Turbo Gold and Platnum I asked to get the Sirius music and they said it wasn't available unless i subscribed to the "SD" packages. Seems odd they would make Turbo packages and not include the Sirious OR at least not allow a $5 upgrade for those. The...

    The best HD channels...

    I don't have it yet - can't seem to convince my wife - but didn't playboy used to be in HD? I think my favorite HD show was Planet Earth. It was stunning! Or still is, they still show it now and then.

    722 spec question

    Now I read somewhere that the 722 has a 500 GB hard drive in it? And that the current satellite HD Mpeg4 is recorded at 4 GB per hour of recording. So if that is true, that's 500/4 or 125 hours of HD recording!! But obviously a chunk of the hard drive is set aside for the 'on demand'...

    LOS Solved

    Why do you still need a 110 view? Is that why Eastern Arc folks, like me, don't have a working customer service menu and dish home? The guide seems to dowload for me.

    After morning uplinks.. finding satellites... stuck?

    Mine was stuck as normal this morning, but I simply turn the power off and then on and it loads through that sat finding screen and guide download normally. Do you run the check switch to get past that screen or to try and solve the 'sticking' problem completely? If you have to run a check...

    can we expect anything today?

    Actually, for all the 'dispair' I recently switched from cable (Metrocast) and I lost one or two HD stations (PBS, Wealth HD - who cares) and reduced my bill by $30 because I don't get all the SD stuff I didn't want anyway and the DVR is much better. Would more HD be nice? Yeah! But overall...

    Dish Website down?

    Well, it appears to be back online - I was able to log in. But I didn't see anything new - in fact, I am still unable to access my programming. I get that stupid green message with the 800 number. I am convinced its because of either Eastern Arc / and or Turbo HD. You would think for a...

    Forgot to mention, its a new 722 - just a week or two old now.

    After morning uplinks.. finding satellites... stuck?

    Every morning when I get up at 6am the uplinks are done but the screen is stuck on the 'finding' screen and always sits at 0/5. I turn the unit off and on with the remote, and it finds everything and updates the guide. But why doesn't it do it automatically? I shouldn't have to turn it off...

    Customer service menu not working...

    Thank you very much for the reply! OK, well, that's good and bad - good then because it sounds like my equipment is working the same as everyone else. Bad because it would be nice to change programming w/o calling THEM... I wonder if this is because I am in the 24 month period or because of...

    Customer service menu not working...

    Nobody? OK, anyone already on the eastern arc, does your customer menu work? Can you see your bill through your reciever? Also, can you look at your programming online? This is what I get online: We cannot process your request to change your programming package. Please call...

    Customer service menu not working...

    I was installed on the eastern arc one week ago and since that time the customer service menu has never worked. The first call with tech said it was because the phone line was not hooked up correctly, it was, then they said it was because my account was new, that doesn't make sense still, and...
