Thanks Dreddick for posting that email. Last year E* showed all the Indians games on STO in HD. Must be they are carrying more HD sports networks this year and haven't allocated enough transponder space to cover all the games. The SD version sure looks like garbage and is pretty much...

Ilya, I take it you can't see STO HD yet on 61.5? Depending on your setups some of you guys may need 44 switches to keep 129 available (at least for awhile) so your can continue to see the Indians games in HD. E* is usually not to eager to hand these out. Can't wait until I get home from...

Well consider those of us who have 61.5 and don't have 129. With your reasoning we have been paying for STO and FOXOH in HD since the start of LAST baseball season and have not been able to view either. Its kind of pathetic to say it, but yesterday's uplink was major progress in E*'s snail...

I am in exactly the same situation as Ilya and would be happy to see the HD locals and RSNs on 61.5 That said I am very disgusted with the wait and am about ready pay the penalty and jump to D*. Scott says that Cleveland HD LILs will happen in the next two weeks and that's about all I'm...

What satellite is the HD feed coming from?

Well if we are supposed to be pointed at 129 rather than 61.5 then why did they point us all at 61.5? I know the answer is VOOM was originally only at 61.5.

I had my "free" receiver swapout done yesterday to allow for the VOOM MPEG4 transition. Obviously I wanted STO HD so my installer and I made about 10 total calls to Dish playing CSR roulette trying to find a way they would allow me to add 129 while retaining 61.5. If I had known how...

HDMM, I have the VOOM upgrade scheduled for Saturday and they are replacing my 110/112 Dish 500 with a Dish 1000 (will request 1000.2, thanks P. Smith) Hopefully this will allow for decent reception from 129, if not I will make them add a 3rd dedicated dish for 129 because I want STO (and...

Try to get them to send another installer to make sure the first guy was correct.

I suspect that Jim Liberatore and Fastball Sports Productions must have really caved in on their original pricing scheme for E* to have picked up Sportstime Ohio. Roda on WKNR claimed that Fastball originally demanded more from the satellite providers for carriage than they requested from the...

I just heard Bob DiBiasio of the Indians talking to Mark Schwarb on WTAM saying the the contracts were all being negotiated and he expects that everyone who received the Indians broadcasts last will year will get them this year with only the possiblity of a small block or two of early holdouts...

It was blacked out in my local area.

The same exact situation happened to me. I am probably a half month ahead of you and the $250 just now appeared as a charge and I have a huge autopay coming up for July.

I had the same 0551 error code after having my 942 for less than one week. I believe the exact wording was "a serious problem with the hard drive." DISH sent out a new one pretty quickly. Couldn't figure out why the drive failed. Both soft and hard reboots were fruitless. The receiver had...

I just got stuck with one of these leased 811s on a cheap ebay purchase from an electronics resellers ebay store [MaxxElectronics]. The seller refuses to take it back, so I am considering contacting his local police about his sale of stolen property. :mad: The E*tech I tried to activate it...

I have the EXACT same problem with the dark HD OTA channels with my 811 AND like sixbears I have a Pioneer Elite RPHDTV. Decided to rehook up my VOOM box and use that for HD OTA. Forgot how phenomenal HDNET and DISCHD look with the 811/Elite setup. Expect the VOOM10 to look just as nice next...

I called the 1-800-WOW-HDTV number from my cell phone and got through right away. When they found out that I was both a V* and a current E* subscriber I was told that I would have to go though the regular E* customer service department and the CSR then proceeded to abruptly cut me off. I...

Take this with a big grain of salt. When I called VOOM last night to discontinue autopay, I had the usual discussion with the CSR lamenting VOOM's closure. When I mentioned that I hoped VOOM21 would resurface as programming with another carrier, she disclosed that Time Warner may be "bidding"...

APorter, Bob Taft is getting his cut. My bill itemizes my monthly sales tax as $6.05

David D, I had a problem with channel 19 for a long while and eventually bought an amplifier at Radioshack that did the trick. If you search this thread you will find the model number. I skipped the part of the amp that required installation at the antenna as my roof is ridiculously steep...

Welcome Dave D. I am in nearby Kirtland and have had my OTA antenna upgraded to a Winegard PR5646. All the important locals except for WVIZ come in fine. Instantlations out of Akron was a very professional installer and they worked hard to get my setup working well. Am curious is anyone...

Many thanks Scott for making this forum available. :) This thread is way out of line and should be taken down.

Ilya, For the past few days I have not received WEWS Channel 5. Does this have to do with the current Super DMA rollout here in Cleveland? The channel is not hidden. It just all over a sudden will not tune. It has been fine for the previous nine or ten months.

This one certainly needs to be a sticky. :) :D Hope at least some of it is true.

I would assume that when Scott says "new discoveries" he means: Discovery Kids Discovery Home Discovery Time Discovery Health More SD to better compete with D* and E*.
