    Antenna Too Far Away

    A question was answered a time ago that Dish gets local stations from a fiber optic connection or from an antenna. OK. Well, when one of my paid for OTA station has far too often break ups, Dish must be using an antenna for that channel. Question now would it do any good to complain to Dish...

    Interesting stop playback problem.

    I discovered something that did not happen when using my OTA and computer system. Now with Dish, this is an interesting problem. I had a recording running on the today show. Recording from 7 am to 9 am. I started watching the recording about ten to eight. After watching for about one half...

    OTA Channels and the Guide

    Is it normal for some of the OTA channels to not show any guide information and others to show full info? The ones that are not showing info only display the station call letters.

    Local channel, bad pickup.

    I have been a "cord cutter" for about 4-5 years now. I was getting my local channels from NBC and CBS. Don't find much to look at on ABC, but it was there. Finances have changed in the last year or so and I was having problems with pickup of my local ota channels. NBC would break up and I...

    UHF Only, WHAT!

    I just discovered that Dish really wanted to pimp anyone that wants to use their universal remote with the Hopper 3. The Dish remote only sends out UHF and not infrared. So that makes it impossible to teach your universal remote. What a bummer.....

    DVR Shows That Are Not There or......

    Just received my Hopper 3 and only recorded a few shows to learn the 100+ things you can do with the Hopper. I also have the Dish Anywhere on my Android phone. I went to the phone and the DVR screen. What a shock to find several recordings that I never recorded. Some were from many months...

    Hopper3 Manual

    I have searched for days for a pdf copy of the users manual for the Hopper3. I have found manuals for other Hoppers but they are so old the front of the manual has the word "Blockbuster" on it. We know how old that manual would be. Others I have found are setup manuals and not what I need. I...

    TBS card

    I installed a new TBS 6902 card in my new Inspiron 3670 desktop. Downloaded the driver from the TBS site. Installed the software and everything looked OK. Checking in device manager the statement that the driver is not digitally signed and would not run was a surprise. After much time spent...

    Customer Service

    My condensate pump went out on my furnace. I removed it and opened it up to see what could be fixed on it. It was the special switch on the float that went wacky. I checked and Emailed the manufacturer looking for the part. In a week I had no answer. So I called the company and was told I...

    105 AMC18 NBC Sound

    I have an "interesting" problem with the sound on NBC East. Lyngsat shows the sound at 751. I check the sound setting on the receiver and it is set at 751. There is sound when the news person is talking but when they break for the ads the sound is missing on most of them. This is OK when it...

    Sling TV Failure

    I signed up with Sling TV a couple of days ago because of the Mars series starting Monday night. I logged in at 8:00Pm to watch what was on first. I think is was one of the Cosmo stories. Well, I guess a 100,000 or maybe a million others were also getting ready for the Mars show. All I got...

    Giving It A Try....

    Well, Sunday I signed up to give Sling TV a try. So far it looks interesting and will sure take a little time to get everything working. Everything new has a learning curve. Time will tell. Number one reason to join was the Mars series that is starting. Space nut here. Also having cut the...

    Hidden Fees?

    I have been reading about Sling TV and what is available with the different costs. A question would be is this like the cable companies that there are fees on top of fees and taxes on top of the fees and you end up with a $20 per month service that really cost $30? I would expect at least...

    H & I

    Any comments or thoughts of Heroes & Icons, sat 101 at 3953, being on a low power transponder? I get MeTV great but have a problem or two with solid picture from H&I. Even with lots of adjustments at the dish, I may get it to play and the next day more adjustments are needed. Odd?

    Two Receivers, Same Remote, Bummer

    As the title shows that is a problem. One unit is used about 85% of the time so the other receiver that has one of those IR pickups that can be placed anywhere gets the other 15% of use. I fix the problem by moving that pickup out of sight or cover up the other receivers IR pickup. It works...

    Mechanical Limit Switches

    It has been stated by a few the importance of mechanical limit switches on your actuator. One of my Thomson/Saginaw actuators has a nice set up under the cover. The other does not. Looking at the set up and putting the circuit on paper the operation was easy to understand. I have many...

    Where to use 6 foot Mesh Dish?

    On Saturdays when I go to work at a friend's house, we drive past a good looking 6 foot, prime focus mesh dish. Lots of discussion on not being that good for C-Band. I have been thinking about stopping and seeing if they want to get rid of it. But that brings up a thought of just on what and...

    Bad Sensor? Or....?

    Got the updated PCB back from Titanium Satellite for my ASC-1 very fast. Great service. ASC-1 all back together and hooked up to actuator. Limits set at -5000 and 5000. When attempting to move actuator, it moves less than one rotation and the limit notice shows. Click OK and try the other...

    "I will not work on that dish!"

    This is the most unheard of thing I have ever heard of. You need to read carefully. You have three receivers: A, B, and C. You have two C-Band dishes: 1 and 2. Both have the same LNB on them. Both dishes are set to 103. Hook up receiver A on dish 2, works great. Remove it and hook up receiver...

    ASC-1 Remote

    Anyone have a remote to the ASC-1 they want to sell cheap? I know of someone that managed to, well, do something to the one they had and it can no longer be located. Six hours of house searching over three days and nothing. If I had a dog, I would guess they took it.

    Actuator disassembly

    I decided to take a look at the old Thomson/Saginaw actuator that I have around here. The internet can sometimes surprise you without any information on a subject where other times you find 50 videos on the subject. Can't find what I am looking for. The round plastic, I'll call it the magnet...

    Hand Crank

    This new installation with my old Bud is getting interesting. Since it will only be adjusted between 97 and 103 and 90% of the time in one place, I do not see the need for an actuator, controller, and all the wires needed. So, thinking of building a hand crank I also thought of just looking at...

    How Much Concrete?

    Been thinking of putting up my old Orbitron mesh 10 foot dish. Pipe is about 3-1/4" and about 6 feet out of the ground, all estimates. I am in the woods and do not have "open range" wind blowing, so somewhat sheltered. Want to keep costs down as low as I can. Ground here is what most call...

    Reelz - G-13 ???

    It is listed in Lyngsat so it should be OK to ask. Can anyone pick Reelz up on 127? I can get lots of channels there that are scrambled that confirms I am on 127. It is "odd" that transponder acts as it was dead. Dish wiggle does not make a difference. Do you have any luck?
