I was just looking at FS1 on my YTTV setup this morning and couldn't help but notice how smeary the video was. This was on top of a miserable signal from HBO last night, where there was not detail WHATSOEVER in dark areas on the Gilded Age. Now I've had DirecTV, and Dish for that matter, off...

The title pretty much says it all. In my ideal world :), I'd like to be able to turn off the TV with the Dish remote, but NOT have the Hopper 3 go into standby. In fact, I'd like for it to remain ON 24/7 if possible. I've burrowed through the settings but don't see anything like this. Does...

It's been a while since this came up, so I thought I'd raise it again. I just went through a nice install for Dish. Local company, a man and his son. The man was supposed to do the install but got tied up and his son came out. Relatively straightforward install, remove old DirecTV dish, drop...

The title says it all! ;) Back when I had DirecTV a decade ago, I had a pair of HR24s, each with its own AM21 over the air receiver. This way, I was able to record local HD and subchannels that DirecTV did not provide. Can the Genie still do the same thing? I still have the AM21s, or is...

OK folks, I've been away from Dish (and this board) for quite a while, almost six years now. I'm considering coming back to Dish as I'm having issues with Spectrum and its waning cablecard support for TiVo. So I've still got a basic understanding of how satellite works, but some of the new...

It looks like the college football choices on Dish have me coming back after a long absence. But I've got some questions about the service in general, in addition to those about the Hopper I posted in its area. I was hoping the DIRT folks would have these answers, but please, anyone who knows...

Hey folks...it looks like I'm coming back to dish after at 15(!) year absence this summer. Isn't it amazing what college football programming can do? Anyway, I've got some questions about how the Hopper and other receivers work, and was hoping someone could help me out..... I want only one...

The BBC, Daily Beast and numerous news sources are this morning claiming that the originator of DBS satellite piracy in the early days of the DBS industry was none other than Rupert Murdoch. Last night, the BBC's Panorama program had interviews with the hackers and the administrators who...

Folks...I've got your basic MPEG4 system, a large dish with sidecar, four runs (of course) to a Zinwell WB68 switch. Two HR20s are connected to the Zinwell. But here's the problem... During the winter months we can have ice issues here with no notice at all. I was wondering how I might go...

Does anyone have the local number in York Ontario for ExpressVu customer service? The old one (416 383 6688) no longer seems to work. thanks!

Folks...today I scrolled down to the bottom of a page. When attempting to switch to the next page of messages and insurance ad covered the list of pages that were available. Clicking in "close ad" returned the ad to normal size, but then it immediately expanded again. This happened four...

Would ANYONE here know what transponder(s) on DirecTV7S the local stations out of Corpus Christ and/or the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen/Brownsville/Harlingen) are broadcast? thanks! Mike Nassour

Folks...I'm about to do an install of the new MPEG 4 system at my house, and would like to do a post install using an old C-band post. Could someone please give me info on the following... 1. With the new dish, does it still use the same 1 3/8" post? 2. I need to buy cable...how deep...

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060124/nytu143.html?.v=43 Don't know if this has already been covered, but CBS and Warners have announced that the WB and UPN will merge...effective Sept. 2006.

Honest, no troll, and I'm not trying to start a flame war! Here's the deal...I've been heavy into XM for about a year and a half, have radios in both cars and the house, etc., etc., etc. Recently, an accident took my wife's car out of commission and I used the opportunity to install one of...

Folks...I've read through the FAQs here and there's still one basic thing about DishPro that I don't understand... ...is this finally the system that allows us to take one single lead from the LNB (I'm running a DishPro twin as of this evening on my 501) and run it through a switch/split...
