Earlier this summer I received my all-time farthest analog or digital TV logging when WTCE (licensed to Fort Pierce; transmitter even farther south toward Jupiter) came in at the vacation home I was staying in just outside Charleston, SC. 391 miles according to Google Earth. It came in long...

I think the big advantage Sling has is live sports. The ESPN networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNNEWS, SEC, etc.) may be available through other media like WatchESPN but only when authenticating with a pay TV provider, and Sling is an eligible provider. So even though I more often watch ESPN through...

To the OP: I would not give up a Charter connection (what I have now) for AT&T DSL or U-Verse. However, I probably would give up a Comcast or a Mediacom connection for U-Verse. U-Verse/DSL will not match the speed or reliability of Charter unless you're in a bad market, which I know do exist.

I haven't been there since August, but I noticed KOHA-LD in Omaha was HD when I did a scan last time.

Completed these steps. I ended up having to unplug the ethernet to get the two receivers to talk to each other again and now I can record from the H25 and access the DVR contents there. I ordered the Cinema Connection Kit and that should take care of getting online. I don't do On Demand content...

Seems connecting ethernet disconnects the internal coaxial network. Wonder if this is where the Cinema Connector Kit comes in. Rather have a wired one but it looks like the only one available for self install is wifi.

The problem now is that after plugging in the ethernet cable and power inserter, I've lost whole home DVR functionality -- the HR25 now can't record or access the DVR because it says it is not connected to the network. Any ideas? With the ethernet and power inserter unplugged, I can confirm I...

I don't have a DECA. I did find a SWM ODU power inserter behind the receiver, not plugged in. Plugged it in and the ethernet light on the back of the receiver came on and it got an IP address via the ethernet port. As long as this doesn't mess something else up, it seems like a start...

The ordering process didn't list model numbers. Not a big deal. I rarely really need 3 streams going at once.

Just switched to DirecTV and got my new service activated today. I was set up with a HR24 as the main receiver and a H25 on the second TV, both with 2.0.24 firmware. I have whole home DVR service activated (advanced receiver service). Here are my questions: I connected an Ethernet cable, but...

No, the slate message is up instead.

Hate to say it because it's been a good ride, but this was the last straw. Yes, there'll be an ETF, but then again free NFL Sunday Ticket -- and Big Ten Network and full time HD RSNs -- makes it mostly worth it. Joining the dark side. :/ Live sports are really the only reason I have pay-TV and...

At 10 Central, I guess I'll know whether or not I'm ordering DirecTV...

NET (Nebraska PBS) in HD. Dish already has the Norfolk-Sioux City station, KXNE, in HD, and the feed is the same across the state, so if they could just distribute KXNE statewide they wouldn't have to uplink the transmitter in each market.

If BTN is gone on 9/1, I'll wait about a week just to see if a deal is reached after BTN pulls their signal. Hopefully that'll be the case. If not, I'll probably jump to Direct over this one.

Channels 8 and 10 transmit from between York and Seward, and the signals can be weak enough in Hastings (uplink site) that sometimes they can't be reliably received OTA. This has been a common issue with channel 8 on both satellite providers in past summers, resulting in viewers in Lincoln...

When popup blocking is enabled, nothing happens when I click the "View" button. Temporarily disabling popup blocking allows the bill window to load. Safari 5.1.7 OS X 10.7.4

Having trouble again -- Dish Online and the Dish iPhone app both show up black, but now at least saying "No Video Signal". Can I get a DIRT member to PM me and provide technical assistance with this?

DirecTV's implementation actually does involved downloading ads to the DVR and then inserting them at various times. They're doing this in the top 25 markets at least. Satellite TV Providers to Start Offering Local Ads | DISH Network Satellite TV Deals Dish's implementation may be similar.

I'm sure they'll add it, if for no other reason than Dish is based out of Denver and the Pac-12 Network will be carrying Colorado Buffaloes games. Employees will want to see it.

Did more troubleshooting this evening. The Hopper is connected to the Internet, has an IP on my network, and can be "seen" from Dish Online as my DVR contents load. The Hopper detects the Sling adapter, but the Sling adapter is unable to pick up the video signal by default since the latest...

Any chance the AX is blocking the port? What ports should be open for the Sling Adapter? I can give the Hopper a static IP and forward the port and see if that helps... come to think of it, this occurred when I put the Hopper "behind" the AX.

My Hopper is connected by ethernet, but an Airport Extreme is at the other end of that ethernet cable...

For the first couple weeks after installation, my Hopper and Sling Adapter worked just fine together... now, when I try to watch online, I can select a program from the Dish Online guide and choose "Watch Online", but the video player attempts to connect and finally just goes to a black screen...

I didn't even want to try to have OTA and MoCA share the same coax so when the installer came yesterday, I told him I had existing OTA distribution from my antenna to the bedroom (where the Joey is) and den (where the Hopper is) and asked if he could run new coax when he installed the Joey. The...
