    Partial and Total signal loss message in error.

    I have the same problem. The message on screen doesn't state an OTA signal loss. It stats a satellite signal loss but the fact is the satellite signals are just fine it's the OTA that loses the signal yet for some reason it effects the satellite channel I'm watching.. Clicking guide and then...

    Is the HD quality of today really getting worse

    I find that many of the news channels uses some sort of filter to soften the sharpness on the anchors faces. For example when they have a picture up on the screen at the same time they are talking you can see the graphic/picture nice, sharp and full of details, color and brightness but the...

    Sling adapter problem with 722

    Occasionally I have this problem on my iPhone. Once I receive the error if I do nothing and just wait like 30 seconds it connects anyway. You mentioned you have the same problem on your computer as well so not sure what I'm suggesting will really help but thought I would offer it anyway.

    No program grid or dvr recording on remote apps

    Another little trick I found is to toggle the HD only option.. It is in the top right hand column.. I never had the guide come up completely blank but have from time to time had certain channels missing.. The above trick usually fixed the problem. Also make sure you guide says "Everything"...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Mine did the same thing at first.. The next day it was working correctly.. Maybe it takes time to run through the system..

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Interesting idea, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Actually isn't a big deal for me.. Everything of any importance on OTA is also on Dish. About the only time I use OTA is if we are having a torrential downpour which living in South Florida happens more often that we would like. Thankfully...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Does anyone know how the actual video data is transferred when using the Dish App for the iPhone? Does it pass through Dish's website or after the initial authentication and such does it pass directly from your home network to your phone? Obviously the less hops the video stream has to take...

    That makes sense.. Hate when the obvious answer to my own question is right in front of my face. ARGH.. LOL

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Now that I have had a little more time to tinker with it it appears as if I can't play my OTA channels? Anyone else experiencing that problem? Another strange thing I have noticed is lets say I'm watching CNN and after a few minutes I exit back to the guide and select BRAVO the video player...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Mine arrived today and worked like a charm right out of the box. Watching both Live TV and Recorded programing worked without a problem. When iPhone connected to the receiver it automatically went into dual mode and when disconnected automatically put the receiver back into single mode. I'm just...

    Amazon Dish Promotion (Qualification Dispute)

    I sincerely hope this got worked out for everyone involved! The qualifying part of this promotion ended 3 months ago on FEBRUARY 13TH (Purchase TV Step #1) Yet, it still appears as if we have potential Dish customers who haven't had this problem resolved. They have either had the problem...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    I haven't received mine yet but I'm wondering what happens if your watching a program via the Sling Adapter and the receiver needs both tuners for a previously set recording? I never use dual mode that often but if I remember correctly it will put a pop up on screen asking if you want to cancel...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Just ordered mine as well online.. About 5 minutes after I got done with the order I received an email from Dish saying that my account had been removed from auto pay.. Not sure what happened so this time I called Dish and spoke with a very nice representative who took care of the problem and...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    Thanks ckhalil18. That's exactly what I did last nigh ;) Big list I may have missed something but I'm pretty sure I have everything I'm interested in. I guess time will tell down the road. At least now I have the knowledge and know how if I need to go out and make more adjustments...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    First I would like to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all those who took the time to assist me with this.. Greatly appreciated. It's unfortunate Dish wouldn't do this for me and I had to resort to doing it myself but I am greatly appreciative. I was able to move my 61.5 dish to 72.7...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    Thanks you all for the information.. Very helpful.. I actually went out and tried my first attempt today. Within 2 minutes I was showing 72.7 in the 20's and a few minutes later got it up into the 40's on the signal strength meter. I then realized this was on transponder 1 so I adjusted the...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    Thanks for the link with my local HD info ckhalil18. Someone else had informed me on another forum is was 119 I was looking for... Losing PBS is the least of my concerns ;) Thanks whatchel1. That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. Just wanted some confirmation that is indeed what I had...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    Thanks guys! I currently have a Dish 500 with a dual LNB set on 110 & 119 and a Dish 500 with a single LNB set to 61.5. Here are the steps I think I should take to get what I need. #1. Confirm I can pick up 72.7. I'm thinking the easiest way is to just take the current 61.5 dish and see if...

    Assistance setting up 72.7

    I currently have two dish500's.. #1 110 & 119 #2 65.5 129 isn't an option for me! I need to add 72.7 because dish is moving channels from 65.5 to 72.7. Long story short Dish isn't going to help me with this . I'm on my own. If you would like to read entire back story you may do so at this...
