    Any way to get decent deal these days? Has "Dish'n it up" been dumped down the drain?

    same deal. own my equipment. fox local has been off air for a year but still pay full locals. hopper, joey, dvr fees are really the crazy part. Pretty much only watch about 5 channels anymore. really should just cancel and go streaming. I almost never watch live tv anymore so i really...

    Seek and record timers stopped working: sports

    All my seek and record timers for sports teams suddenly stopped working this week. They worked fine since I got my hopper with sling (currently on build s542 nebd) a couple years ago. They are set-up as BRUINS AT and AT BRUINS for example. If I do a search for BRUINS I get no results. If I...

    self install question --> HWS+SJ+J

    Thanks. Found a dpp44 on eBay for $25 so it cost me an extra 25 which is no big deal when we're talking almost $500. If you own your equipment dish will activate it with out a tech, even hopper

    self install question --> HWS+SJ+J

    I assume if i were to give up on the SJ that the solo node can't be fed by the two dishes correct and still needs a new switch? I prefer to own my equipment as installation address isn't the same as service address.

    self install question --> HWS+SJ+J

    Currently have a OWNED 622 fed with a DP34 from 2 dish 500's (61.5 and 72) using the SD modulation for the rest of the house. Kids are finally grown to the point i need more tuners and full HD. Without putting up a new dish / LNB can i run the 2 leads from the dishes to the DP34 (same as...

    I need some professional help!!

    just keep chatting. Ask them to re-hit the reciever again. Tell them it didn't take the first two times. I had to chat 4 times before my move made it's way to my reciever this week. My service address was changed during the first chat but it didn't hit the reciever. Second chat he said he...

    bangor locals moved from conus to TID#1132 - no longer appear

    My bangor locals are no longer working today. I'm assuming it's due to the migration of bangor locals from conus to TID1132 (per the uplink report) even though that was several days ago supposedly. Getting the "This channel is not available outside the designated viewing area" message. I...

    Why can't dish use RG6 output with HD

    oh how i wish that were the case. maybe my 2006 home is not the norm but i have home runs of rg6 and telephone but not cat 5. must be my electrician was an old guy. At least i got RG6 instead of RG59. I have always wondered why the modulation was never used as a distribution method over HD...

    Why can't dish use RG6 output with HD

    Seeing how OTA come in on RG6 i know the HD signal can be carried and decoded. Why can dish use the same strategy they used for whole house on the VIP's but send it out as a HD OTA (like) signal instead. It would still meet a lot of peoples needs and would be able to leverage the RG6 wired...

    72 with a dish 500?

    Successfully pointed my 110/119 dish at 72.7. Didn't bother trying to get both 61 & 72 on one dish cause I have the two dishes already and was a little freaked out on my 12-12 pitch roof. The worst part was I got 61.5 the first time around and the check switch took forever

    72 with a dish 500?

    72.7 with a dish 500? So I have a mixed arc setup and have been procrastinating on switching to ea because I own my system and am a mover. Needles to say I'm not having dish come to my house. Seems dish has forced my hand finally. For now can I repoint my 110/119 dish 500 at 72.7 since I...

    eastern arc migration confusion

    Sounds like the best thing for mgr to do is to put up a 1000.2 and go western arc and leave my wing and point it where ever I need to to get my locals? My location is really saratoga, ny.

    eastern arc migration confusion

    So dish called me today and wanted to send a tech to reaim my 61.5 to 72.7 . That led me to this thread. I have a self installed hybrid 61.5/110/119 system on bangor, ME locals. After reading this thread I think I ned to go buy a 1000.4 and convert to EA, but there's snow on the roof and I'm...

    Recording Cut short but shows full length timer

    no external HDD for me. I have heard of programs being cut off if deleting from the ext. hdd while recording but that's definately not my problem because most of mine happened while no one was using the TV.

    Transfer Timers

    what would be nice would be if you could back them up to your dish online account kind of like verizon does with your contact book. I know they could do it since you can see them online. Come on Dish.

    Recording Cut short but shows full length timer

    I have not had a repeat of this issue since may. Maybe luck, maybe i'm not recording as much now that re-runs are here, or maybe it went away. Who knows. 2 of my 3 issues were with F1 on speedSD.

    Recording Cut short but shows full length timer

    I don't have an ext. hd so that is not the issue for me. Plus they occured in the middle of the night (but not at re-boot time)
