    DTV on demand locking up vizio tv

    They are both set to acquire automatically but I haven't checked the ip addresses. When I get back home that will be something I check.

    DTV on demand locking up vizio tv

    Yes I have 20mbps fiber to the premise internet. My biggest thing is that when I connect the directtv to the internet the tv locks up but if I disconnect the directtv the tv is fine.

    I have been having the problem of when I connect my dtv system to the internet my vizio smart tv locks up. I have tried both wireless and wired options with the same results. I would really like to use the tv apps instead of starting up my ps3 so if you have ideas let me know. I have port...

    From an installer, thanks again Dish...

    Not any major holiday. If I have the day off then I don't bother to go to any stores or call any offices. There are more than enough things that I can do that doesn't involve needing something at a store or calling somebody for something. I honestly can't believe some people think that...

    From an installer, thanks again Dish...

    That's the thing, I never expect stores to be open on holidays. I don't want to work them so I refuse to go to any stores or call any service providers during these major holidays. It comes down to people who don't care about or respect others. Its the "me, me, me, right now!" attitude...

    Want to Restrict Whole Home to 2 out of 3 boxes

    Hardware wise putting in a band stop filter would stop mrv from that receiver. Otherwise going into the settings and whole home and disable sharing would be what the technician did.

    Just ordered Dish

    But I'm my opinion still doesn't hold a candle to directv in this department.

    Dish wall mount

    From personal experience of mounting a dozens of mine or friends tv's as long as the tv isn't over 85 pounds a single stud with 2-3 inch lags that were pre-drilled along with 4 more lags with self expanding/flanging anchors well have zero problems. The only reason that would not work if it was...

    A non hostile goodbye

    Should have done a little research first. When I used to install that stuff I would try to talk people out of it but all they could see was the $10 a month savings and the thought that since it came from a satellite it has to be better. Can't tell you how many people called back complaining...

    DISH Makes offer to buy Sprint (Rescinded)

    This is just a copy of what I wrote on a different thread but it is what I believe. I truly hope Dish doesn't get Sprint, it's not that I'm against Dish but I don't see anything good for the consumer to come out of this. When Softbank first made their offer I was excited at the thought that...

    DISH Discloses that it now has a Non Disclosure Agreement with Sprint

    I truly hope Dish doesn't get Sprint, it's not that I'm against Dish but I don't see anything good for the consumer to come out of this. When Softbank first made their offer I was excited at the thought that they would bring some of their practices overseas to the US. Softbank has lowered...

    Signal drop with 1000.4 (getting half of what I was getting before) Can't peak above 32

    What type of receiver? As a tech ive had to replace countless 722 reveivers for low signal when everything else is fine. Just the 722 not the 722k.

    buying a reciver

    Another question on the owned receiver issue, I have an owned HR10-250 and gave it to my neighbor because he was wanting another DVR. He doesn't care about HD and only wanted the receiver for the DVR. When he activated it they said it was required that he pay for HD service. It was my...

    L.O.S. and Being Under Contract

    Sorry guys haven't had much time to follow up on my post. Currently my dish system has been installed for about 12months and l.o.s has become intermittent because of trees. This will not be much of an issue come winter but the upcoming spring/summer probably will render my system unusable...

    If you are under contract and have line of sight problems and unable to get satellite reception are you required to pay the ETF on the account?

    Thinking of Switching from Dish

    i believe that all hd-dvr receivers ship with IR/RF remotes. HD and standards only ship with IR.
