I've noticed lately that commercials for "Christian Mingle" always seem to get replaced by another commercial ontop of it (Dish inserted?) Is this deliberate or just some coincidence?

Anyone else finding that skip forward on the remote has gone berzerk lately? Usually I can time the commercials out so that three or four hits on the button will just about skip past the break (at least close enough) but lately I've noticed that many presses not only passes the commercials but...

http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/tca-weather-channel-takes-campaign-against-directv-to-tv-critics/ Reality shows like "Highway to Hell", "Prospectors" and "Heavy Metal Monsters" are apparently a public safety concern now.

Anyone seeing a pop-up message every so often saying "We hope you've enjoyed this programming which is expiring in three days"? I'd assume it's for the expiring HBO/Cinemax channels from the promo last year, but the message is turning up EVERYWHERE (seen it on PixL, Food Network, and a few...

All Harrisburg/Lancaster PA locals off the air at about 7:15am and now with the "do not call us, we know there's a problem" message on each of them. Did somebody break something again? Edit: still out at 9am

I wake up today to find that locals aren't working on my 622 (1000.4/EA). No sign of anything on the dish or LNBs, and nothing up with the cables either. Did switch test and receives the 836 error. After checking for anything obvious outside, I started from scratch on the switch test (cleared...

Both WPIX and WWOR are dead (5:53pm ET)...just get a black screen for both. WPIX was going into macroblocks for about 5 minutes before it went out altogether. Signal is up in the 60s so I'm assuming it's on the other end somewhere.

Just how long does one have to wait until this takes affect? The exec office said I qualified for it (since I was going to do a new commitment anyway with DIU) but still no sign of the credit since I spoke with them last month. Does it normally take this long?

I'm pretty sure there were a couple of posts about this, but is Dish planning on fixing the imbalance between the volume on the SD channels vs the HD channels? A normal volume setting on an SD channel will often result in blasting level on the HD channels (and vice versa--HD at normal volume =...

Anyone ever seen this? I'd figure if a rainstorm comes through you'd get the "lost satellite"/"acquiring signal" screens, but a rainstorm just came through and my 622 just up and shut itself off out of the blue--no warnings or anything. Is this normal?

Last couple of days, GSN (ch 116) has been nearly unwatchable due to nearly continuous audio stuttering/clipping. Picture is fine, so is the signal levels, it's just the audio that's horrible. Problem is only on that one channel and on none of the others that are sharing the same sat/xponder...

Anyone else from this area find that sometimes the audio is non-existant on WLYH? Completely mute tonight, and it's not the first time I've noticed it.

On my old 625 (before it died), I could set the timer to auto tune a certain channel when the TV turns on in the morning (use it for an alarm clock), but it doesn't seem to work on the replacement (auto tune timer only functions for 1 minute, then goes back to whatever channel it was on...

Central PA market and all three majors flunked the much ballyhooed DTV test. According to WGAL, Dish isn't picking up their digital feed. So what the hell will happen come February?

The last couple of days my 625 would lock up once a day and need to reset itself. Of concern but I figured I'd just keep an eye on it. Earlier today it locked up again, but this time, needed user intervention. So I try the usual reset by the front power button and unplug/replug the unit...

According to the CSR I spoke to tonight, they have to be installed--they won't ship them out to the customer ("computer won't let us"). I could understand with an HD receiver, but what's so special about the SD DVRs all of a sudden? Kind of silly for a tech to come out when all he has to do is...

Anyone else finding that the "auto tune" timers (ie change to x channel but NOT record) aren't working with the latest updates (have 3.66 on mine). I have one set up for the morning when my TV turns on (I use it as an alarm clock), but it seems like it hasn't worked correctly in several weeks...

For the last couple of weeks, I've found that my 510 will skip a split second or two on playback or on occasion freeze entirely for a split second before recovering. Seems to also happen with somewhat greater frequency if I'm watching something recorded while the unit is currently recording...

Put the unit on "standby" last night before I went to bed. This morning, I turned it back on and everything seemed to be ok, but when I change the channel, all I get is the title/info for a couple of seconds, then nothing (black screen). Same deal if I change the channel to something else. If...

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with their 510 (v304 SW). Have the unit timer record something. While it's recording, go to the DVR menu and watch a few minutes of something already recorded. Exit out to the DVR menu and just leave it there for a few minutes (don't touch...

Last night, I called in and had them do an upgrade (DIU) for a 4000 receiver to a 510. They took down whatever information they needed (CC#) and said it'd be 7-10 days for delivery. I check my account today and find that they took 50.00 off the monthly bill (it's just listed as "payment-thank...

Obviously aside from purchasing the receiver outright, is there any way to swap a receiver through DIU without getting hit with the install fee? I know they likely won't do it for a 522 but is it possible to get a 510 and avoid the $50 "nonsense fee"?

If you recall I'd posted not long ago how one of my antique 4000s had bought the farm and asked some opinions about my options. I wound up RMA'ing the doorstop (through DHPP) and ended up with a refub 4900 (wasn't figuring on that--at least I keep the UHF, and it's a definite improvement over...

Last night around 5pm while watching the TV in the living room, the 4000 I have there went out, and came back with an "acquiring signal" message which wouldn't go away for several minutes. I turned it off with the remote, then back on and it came back to life. Figured maybe it's a glitch and...
