    211K FREEZING

    Anyone ever experience a 211k freezing (picture and sound) only when the EHD is connected? I have a 2GB WD EHD connected and I can't seem to watch TV for more than an hour before it freezes. I can disconnect it, but I really would prefer to have pause, rewind and record features. I ran a reset...

    EHD maximum for 211k

    So my 10 yr old 1TB EHD just died. I had a WD MyBook which was about the size of a brick. Seems anything 2TB or less from WD is now considered "portable" and is the size of an iphone. Not sure if these "portable" ones will work well with a 211k. I believe the EHD cannot fall into sleep mode, and...

    Loyalty Promo ending

    Had a 6 month loyalty promo bringing my AT120 price from 64.99 down to 39.99. This also included HBO, Cinemax, Blockbuster@home and Starz for free. Next month's bill would be close to 90.00 assuming I can get these premiums at half off, so my bill would more than double. Would DIRT be able to...

    NHL still in SD in Multisport?

    Had about a 1-hour on-line session with a Dish chat supervisor yesterday. I had received an offer from a previous agent to credit my account 5$ per month for 3 months in order for me to upgrade to AT120+ from AT120. I also received an offer from the same agent to get 3 months free Multisports...

    NESN on AT120

    I have had AT 120 (without AT120+ or Multisport) for 5 yrs. Always had NESN. Yesterday it dissapeared. Online agents seem clueless. Should I be getting this channel? If not, how could I get free for 5yrs? I live in NH, which is NESN local market.

    SLING ON SAMSUNG SMART TV

    Still waiting for this to appear on Samsung Tv Smart Hub. Still shows Dishworld app available but no Sling. I use Hulu, Netflix, HBO etc through the smart hub, and everything works great. Really don't want to get another device to allow access to Sling. My Samsung was purchased less than 10...

    Good signal - No satellite lock?

    Tonight, I sat down to watch the tube and all I could get was the guide (all channels black). Checked the signal on 61 and 72 and all was good. Did a check switch and the system advised me that I had less satellites than I did previously and that I could accept or cancel. There is no snow on the...

    211k with external hard drive - lost pause/rw/ff live tv

    I have a 211k setup with an external hard drive (500 GB). Been working great for almost 2 yrs. Recently, I cannot pause, ff, rw etc on live tv. I can still do it for recorded shows, but not with live tv. It's almost as if the hard drive is no longer buffering the 1hr of live tv anymore. The DVR...

    Dish and Locals

    I am curious about what it takes for Dish to carry specific locals. Case in point, WPTZ channel 5 is an NBC affiliate covering VT, Northern NY, New Hampshire etc. It is carried in HD by Dish. However, WPTZ channel 5.2 digital used to be called ME-TV and carried classic shows from the 60s 70s...

    Moving

    I was just wondering if anyone could assist me regarding sales taxes on satellite tv in NY state. I am in NH where there is no sales tax at all. I pick up the Vermont locals which only consist of the big 4 + PBS in HD (No CW or MY Network available). I noticed that within the same spotbeam, I...

    WWOR HD

    WWOR HD is now showing as "complete signal loss". Have they now restricted the HD feed to the DMA only? WWOR was the only superstation that was the exception to the DMA rule. Has Dish corrected that oversight? I still get the sd feed,but the HD feed was the only reason I kicked in the 2$...

    VT Television Tax

    Just received an email from Dish about the proposed Vermont television tax of 5%. I am questioning why I would get this email because, even though my billing address is in VT, my service address is in NH. I am not charged the regular VT state tax on by current invoice, so I would assume that...

    LOST SIGNAL - DISH POINTING QUESTION

    For the past 2 yrs, I have been lucky enough to have Dish Network using a Dish500 2LNB setup pointing to 61.5 and 72.7. Allthough not optimal (I am along the US Canada border near Northern New York so I should be using the 1000 series dish), I always maintained signals between 35 and 60 on all...

    PPV EXPIRY DATES DIRT?

    I noticed that the expiry dates on my free PPV certificates have all dissappeared when I check online. Does this mean that they are good forever now? How will we know the true expiry date? I remember most had a 90 day life, but some had 60 days... hard to tell now. DIRT?

    211k - Wireless connection

    I have a Dish sub with only one 211k (EHD activated). I would like to use the Dish Network Wireless Application from my Android phone to control what I record and also watch shows live on my phone / tablet. I keep getting an error message that my receiver is not connected to the internet. My...

    WGN confusion

    I know of lot of you folks are very familiar with Bell TV programming. I have been with Dish for almost 2 years now, and I have WGN. I know there used to be a WGN Superstation and a WGN local CW affiliate in Chicago, but I may be wrong. When I scan the Dish guide, I see that there is WGN (which...

    3 MONTHS FREE PLAYBOY

    I was on online chat for an equipment issue, and I made a joke to the agent about how unfair it is that Dish Latino subs get free Playboy and I don't. Without missing a beat he said: I can get you 3 months free Playboy. I refreshed my online account screen and there it was. Seems like an...
