It's all good

I had two things happen, my 612 was replaced with a new one and the tech repeaked the dish, which was off badly. That was three weeks ago I think, not one lock up or issue with the 612 since.

Take the 2 year commitment....you could break the commitment, pay the 10 bucks a month penality...and probably still spend less money and effort trying to buy the equipment on your own and crossing your fingers that it works.

You are right, I read composite and was thinking component. I didn't think anyone used those anymore... :) sorry.

EA all the way

Shouldn't look like sh$t....make sure the menu settings are correct, 1080i 16x9.

But you are not a customer now correct? If not, wouldn't Dish just come out, dump off any equipment that you need and commit to two years service like I did?

The EA birds are pretty high up, in fact when I started asking questions one person said my dish will look like a bird bath LOL. Now that it is installed it's not THAT high up, but the elevation is pretty high...looks to be very similar to some neighbors DirectTV Slimline dishes.

I'm lost, is this new service? If so, why would you be buying stuff off of ebay? I was setup on EA a few weeks ago as a new customer, I didn't have to buy any hardware and I have a ViP 612 and 211K and a 1000.4 dish.

This site will help you point your over the air antenna. AntennaWeb I have used an OTA in the past for HD, one of the smaller Terks and it was fine. Currently getting my locals over the SAT.

And yes, I am not positive but the HD will display on your SD sets.

Yes, on the pull down in the multi LNB section select the Dish 1000.4, that is your Eastern Arc.

I looked here: EKB: Dish HD Locals Nothing for Savannah GA.

New 612 user here also. I don't use the OTA input so I am no value there. I had my 612 only for about a week before I had a tech come out and re peek my dish, which was off pretty badly buy the original installer and replace my 612. The issue I had was the 612 would lock up at least once a...

My 211K now has DVR. It was not a pretty activation, long story short, I think instead of taking 15 mins to activate it was more like two hours. This was around 11:00pm last night. I tried it again this morning, and DVR function still there. One thing strange last night, when the function...

New to Dish Network and satellite in general. During the check switch screen, what should I be seeing as far as signal strenght on the various transponders for 77, 72.7 and 61.5? During some mild rain a few evenings ago I started loosing 72.7 channels, and I notice that my 72.7 signal is not...

I go into check switch, all three show green, 77, 72.7 and 61.5. I do test and I get: The check switch test has found you have fewer satellites than previously detected. Selecting Save will result in a loss of channels. Press Cancel to keep the original setting and return to the previous...

No, I will do this this evening and let you know, THANKS for the help.

The check switch would have been done 11/9 during the install, was 77 on then?

THANKS...will try when I am home later today.

Newbe.....how do I run the check switch? and THANKS for the reply.

When my 612 does the System Info test, I get a red X on 77. The installer said that is because 77 is not broadcasting correct. My question, should I be getting that red X? I know 77 is not broadcasting, but shouldn't I still get a signal from that Sat? Charlotte NC customer. THANKS

I don't think there are additional monthly fees, that is what I got out of the tech forum broadcast the other evening. Along these same lines, about what size external disk would give the 211K say, 30 hours of HD recording?

New Dish subscriber here. Had service installed last Sunday (2 days ago), the 612 locked up twice that evening and once yesterday evening. Locked up to the point where the only option was to hold down the power unit on the remote to do a hard reset. Is this common? I will be contacting...
