    Is this antenna right for me?

    He's charging $70 for the antenna and $140 for the install, to take down all the dish equipment that I have, set up the antenna, fool with the wiring, ext. Does that sound about right? I could only find about two companies in town that would do an OTA install, and this company was the...

    Is this antenna right for me?

    I have been talking to a local antenna installer and have scheduled him to come out and do an installation for me. He wants to put a Channel Master 3000a antenna on my roof. The antenna is rated as yellow by the CEA. I live in southern Charlotte, and the farthest station from me is 29.7 miles...

    Local FOX channel out of sync.....

    Another vote for Charlotte being out of sync, last week both American Idol and The Office were out of sync. Very annoying =/

    Wiring for OTA / Indoor or Outdoor Antenna

    Great, thanks so much for your help! I'll definitely look into the antenna you recommended. According to a map of where the signals are coming from in relation to my house, I shouldn't even have to re-locate the mount. So basically all I need to do is take the dish down and put the new...

    Wiring for OTA / Indoor or Outdoor Antenna

    I'm currently a Dish subscriber and I'm thinking about making the switch to OTA HD. I'm trying to decide between an outdoor antenna or several indoor antennas. I have checked and I get about a 71 signal strength on my Sony TV with a pair of bunny ears I bought from best buy, so I think I will be...

    vip 622 cracking/popping noise

    I heard the same thing when I was watching TV on my 722 on Friday night (both recorded and live tv). Miraculously, the noise went away on Saturday, so maybe it's just a glitch that goes away.

    What's the status of Fox News HD on TurboHD?

    As a former TurboHD subscriber, I was very upset to find that Fox and Fox Business HD were not added to the TurboHD packages, and only the standard definition packages with an HD add on. Not only that, but the way nobody at Dish Network had a clue as to what was going on. Well it's a month...

    Lost my signal thanks to the snow...

    Well I've had dish network for about 4 months now, and today is the first time my signal is out. There's a few inches of snow on the ground where I live in Charlotte, NC, and my signals been gone for about 20 minutes with an Eastern Arc dish, right in the middle of the Apprentice. Being that...

    Fox News HD Now Live on HD-Only Turbo Package!

    Amen to that. If they would just release a statement letting us know they were working on it, it would make a lot of customers happy.

    61.5°W TP-1

    My signal strength on 61.5 Transponder 1 is around a 12. They want to send a tech out, but after research I'm fairly sure its a spotbeam for local channels. If you get your locals, you should be fine.

    No Fox News HD in Turbo HD only!?

    Well in a new twist, I now have Fox News in SD, but not in HD. This is extra weird since I only have the TurboHD gold package. I also called dish network again (to ask if I was under contract with them) and later was told that the information I posted earlier was incorrect, and that us TurboHD...

    No Fox News HD in Turbo HD only!?

    Well, it's official. This is what I was just told in the tech chat: "It is official. At this time, these channels are not available in our TurboHD programming. We will look to see how popular these channels become in HD and then make a decision as to whether or not they fit into our TurboHD...

    No Fox News HD in Turbo HD only!?

    I agree this is ridicules. I have called twice trying to get an answer, and both times the reps have been absolutely clueless about why I'm not getting these channels with my Gold HD package. She said that everybody on TurboHD should be getting these channels. If dish is having a problem on...

    Customer Service Rep Confirms Fox News HD Channel For February

    Well I apologize for spreading rumors, as it seems that I should not really believe what any CSR says. The thing about the Versus 2 does seem like BS since comcast does own Versus. Anyways, sorry for causing a stir for nothing, and here's to hoping that some new HD gets announced at CES.

    Customer Service Rep Confirms Fox News HD Channel For February

    True about the CSRs, but this guy seemed absolutely certain. At the very least, its a glimmer of hope for better programing. I'll stick with them until at least the end of February to see what happens. What's happening on 02/09 by the way, forgive my ignorance.

    Customer Service Rep Confirms Fox News HD Channel For February

    First of all, I'm new to the forums, so hello :) Take this with a post of salt, as this was just one CSR and he may have been misinformed, but I figured it was worth sharing. After hearing about Dish's rate change for their TurboHD packages, I called Dish CS after contemplating a switch to...
