A couple of months ago my university changed over from individual Dish receivers to the Smartbox. Ever since then we have had problems with the Eastern arc Dish channels breaking up at night. We are using one meter dishes for each satellite and fiber optic cables from the roof to the Smartbox...

The last time Dish dropped channels (or they dropped Dish) it was past the announced deadline and didn't start until the weekend.

So, you bought a Refrigerator from a TV company.....

Thanks everyone! :)

The blue tags identify each satellite for when I connect the DP34 switch later.

I just finished setting up my first Dish 1000.4 on the Eastern Arc with a Super Satbuddy meter and I'm concerned about the low numbers. With everything peaked I'm getting a signal strength on the 77 satellite at 78, the 72 at 65 and the 61.5 at 56. This is on the top of a building where there...

I'd sure like to know when the HD channels will start broadcasting again.

Believe it or not, that's what did it! I went to the HDTV setup on the menu, set the menus for "Offair", "720P", "16x9", and then went to the Local Channels and rescanned. All the off-air channels and their sub-channels came in beautifully. Thanks larkor!

Primestar31: Good ideas, unfortunately, I've tried them all. I do need to make sure it's a 722K. larkor: I'll make sure when I get home. I'm guessing it should be offair, right? navychop: I don't want to relive the horror story I had getting the replacement. UPS lost it, but Dish wouldn't...

Recently I had to replace my VIP722 receiver. I had an OTA antenna connected to this receiver and it had no trouble receiving all of the Atlanta OTA channels and their sub-channels. When I got the replacement VIP722 receiver from Dish, I connected the same antenna and did a local channel scan...

Yes, the only problem is that they don't come on the air at the same time every day. I think I'm good now. I haven't seen the error message stay up after the video comes on since last week.

We have a contract with Dish thru a company called CampusTelevideo.

I'm using two Dish 211 receivers to broadcast Fox Sports South HD and Sports South HD on our campus cable system. Since the channels on these receivers never changes they display a "Channel not Available" message when FSS and SS are off the air. The problem is that when they start broadcasting...

When I worked in Cable TV we always used the hydrolic lift arm on the bucket truck. We did have to hire two large wreckers when we put up a Simulsat dish though.

Bad port on the switch.

...aaaaaaaand, back down.

Thanks Scott!

When I click on the DishChannelChart link at the top of the page it goes to an unrelated search engine.

KU-Band signals, which are used to broadcast from the satellite to your dish, have a wavelength that is physically the same size as an average raindrop. The more rain the signal has to go through the weaker the signal gets. The satellites get their broadcast power from solar cells, and...

Not that it helps any, but I have a SMATV too. I'm having trouble with an HD channel (1 of 20) switching to the Dish barker channel at different times of the day or night and the only thing that will fix it is a person hitting channel up or down on a remote. I've tried timers and such like...

Scott: I noticed that several channels didn't start the test until 2:01. Some of the Dish channels were running a crawl about the test when my system's local EAS system took over.

To our DIRT members...Will Dish be participating in the national EAS Test Nov. 9th?

Thank you.

Okay. What I was talking about was a long time ago. I work at Georgia Tech, and we were once a Dish customer. One of the basic-basic packages they had at that time was labeled "University Package". It might have been a custom thing they did just for us.

Does Dish Network still offer a University Package?
