    Blips every 30 minutes - on the hour and half hour.

    I have a Hopper and one Joey. Every hour on the hour and on the half-hour I get a blip or break in the transmission. I have turned the Hopper off, then on and also unplugged, wait a few minutes, then plug the Hopper in, in an attempt to correct this problem. This has not fixed this...

    New FIOS Customer - Former Dish Subscriber

    TiVo HD Thank you for the suggestion. I will be purchasing the TiVo HD and a lifetime subscription; I think this will be the least expensive way to go to get a great HD DVR.

    Left Dish for FIOS

    Picture Quality My eyes have been in use for 57 years. I can honestly say that the HD on both Dish and FIOS is fantastic. My wife loved the picture quality on Dish and said she thinks that FIOS might be a little sharper; her eyes are younger than mine.

    New FIOS Customer - Former Dish Subscriber

    My wife and I have been very pleased with our Dish Service over the past 12+ years. We did a lot of soul-searching (about a year) before we made up our minds. Our experience with Dish was always very positive, especially when my wife needed to call Dish customer service; she felt they were...

    Yeah, my family can now watch the major networks in HD in the Richmond/Petersburg, VA now that they have moved to Sat 129. We could not receive them on 61.5 because of the trees.

    Sirius/XM Channel Numbers

    More listening Options for Me You do NOT speak for all XM subscribers. I have been an XM subscriber since 2003. I have not seen, based on my listening preferences, a decrease in XM-originated services, but rather an increase in the options for my listening tastes due to the addition of...

    Would you be happy?

    I do not think that will happen as Kate will end up in prison.

    Sirius/XM sound quality?

    My ears are 56 years old. I think the sound quality on XM is very good. I have a MyFi that is listen to with headsets, in rental cars using the AUX-in, and at home in the Altec-Lansing Desk unit and through my Sony sound system. My wifes. Roady XT sounds nearly as good as CD in her PT...

    VIP612 issues

    Whenever my VIP starts acting quirky, such as frequent signal loss, slow responsiveness to remote, screen stutter, I just perform a warm reboot and a check switch. This seems to clear up my problems for a few weeks. It seems like the unit needs a warm reboot after some software updates. Just...

    Statement from Dish Network on Young Broadcasting Removal

    Improved SD Picture on WRIC - Richmond, VA My wife and I feel like the SD picture quality on WRIC, Richmond, VA is vastly improved too. Is WRIC now uplinking the digital signal and not the analog signal? In addition, over the past 4 weeks we have been complaining about the error in...

    Uplink Activity 12/14/08 Young Broadcasting Stations RETURN

    We are receiving WRIC from Richmond, VA now. In addition, the uplink problem that started I began seeing about 4 weeks ago between WRIC and Dish has also ceased. More importantly, the SD picture quality on WRIC is vastly improved and is much sharper than the SD picture from the other...

    CBS Football Stuttering ?

    I have noticed for the past 3 season, the NFL games on CBS (non-HD) look awful. This is WTVR Channel 6, Richmond, VA. It does not matter if it is Dish or OTA, they are very fuzzy and appear out of focus. This problem seems limited to NFL broadcasts and does not seem to appear during PGA...

    Known problem - don't call us message

    I, too, have been getting this message for about 3 weeks on one local station WRIC Channel 8, Richmond, VA. This is the only station I get this message. I spoke with technical support and was informed the problem is in the transmission between the local station and Dish Network; it is not a...

    XM sending out email addressing FCC interference issues for older models.

    I have one of the old MyFi with a strong FM transmitter so I opted for Option C. I will not use the direct connect for the MyFi, but rather I will change my wife's RoadyXT from SureConnect to direct connect!

    Sirius Radio FM Transmitter Optimization

    I recommend the "direct connect" approach. I have XM and I did this on my Ford Windstar and my wife's PT Cruiser. One major advantage is that I have never had to change the FM station when traveling. I have driven from Augusta, Maine to Miami, FL and I never changed the FM staion that was...

    Anyone else unhappy with XM?

    This is America... right now we have choices in satellite radio, XM or Sirius. Get the one that has the programming you prefer. I have had XM radio for over 4 years; I also have some Sirius via DishNetwork. There are some stations on XM that I like better than Sirius, and some on Sirius I...

    Upgrade to 612 - Excellent Service

    We live in Henrico County, VA, just outside Richmond. We received great service from the Dish Technician during our upgrade. My TV died, so we purchased a 47" Philips LCD 1080i HDTV. I called and scheduled an upgrade from the SuperDish to Dish1000 and a 612 receiver. The cost of the...
