i moved it to the wall. just don't want to leave it there. Dish is going to replace my STB. I would like to keep it on the UPS to protect it from lightning.
the rescan may have been what triggered it. We have been having bad storms through GA lately and i lost sat signal for an entire evening. my receiver did a system reboot and that maybe when it started grabbing local info.
yea i'm sure. i still pay $65 instead of the $70 which is w/ the locals. Dish said they were giving everyone locals "for free" but they just upped all the packages by $5 to cover it.
I just noticed that I'm now getting my local channels guide info. I do not pay for locals and my package is the 250 from before the locals were included. I'm definitely not going complaining just curious if Dish is in a giving mood. ;-)
Now I'm DEFINITELY not complaining, but I thought with this FOX-Dish dispute the CI fox sports games wouldn't be in HD. I'm watching the PENS-LEAFS on FSN HD through CI now.
pretty sure your problem is you are viewing an HD program on a SD output. When doing that the receiver sends out the signal in letterbox format. Have you tried setting the "HD" channels to zoom on your receiver and the SD channels to stretch (i think that's the setting).
yep, i had the same problem. i got in touch with tech support. did they same hoop jumping you did, except the guy i was talking to said he had another person chatting with the same problem. he said he was going to forward the information i gave him about the problem to engineering. they...
it's possible on DirectTV the game is in HD. My brother has Direct and he gets the Canadian feeds in HD through CI. It's a Dish issue with Center Ice and the Canadian feeds.
Hidefrev,
are you on Western Arc? I live in Warner Robins, and have issues with rain fade. It mostly happens if a bad storm is southwest of me a few miles. And I've noticed it doesn't have to be a bad storm but a LARGE rain cloud to my southwest.
what's the advantage to owning vs leasing? I just bought a 411 to replace one of my 211 i had on my account. according to Dish, I still have to pay the $7 receiver fee.
can someone tell me if the playoffs cost more if you already paid for the season???
I'm being charged $80 for the "race to the cup". I had CI for 2 years with Cox prior to this year with dish and I've never been charged this.
Update: Just chatted w/ someone at dish, and they fixed my...
Ehren,
You might want to try changing the receiver to 720p out. Most 32" LCD's are only 720p. If you have it set to 1080i, the receiver is up rezzing ESPN to 1080i then your tv is bringing it back down to 720p. ESPN broadcasts at 720p.
The Charlie Chat link might be our best bet. If it's swamped with emails, MAYBE one of us can get in or at least Charlie MAY address it from so many questions. *crosses fingers*
And when that happens, I will be going back to Cox Cable. As much as I hate cox (their name is appropriate), I came to dish for the HD package. I will hate to lose my HD center ice games, but I won't be able to keep paying Dish for screwing their highest margin customers.
I still have a hard time believing their excuse, "we want to see how popular it is". If that's the case then stick in into the Plantinum Package. I'd rather see the Fox Channels there than C&I. Was there really more of a demand for that than Fox News??
i decided to have a little chat with a CSR. I tried to see if he could clear the absoluteHD listing on my account since I have TurboHD now. Said he would take it off. I also asked him about Fox News. I started off by mentioning that it was in my guide, just red and inaccessible. He...
