    Free 830

    Shaw giving free 830 receivers to "valued" customers. Not exactly free, but they called me and offered an 830 on a free rental and no charge for shipping. I took the deal. They said that eventually all channels will disappear from 600 series receivers. Anyone else get this deal? I should point...

    Watch out for bad EA hybrid lnbs

    Just wondering if it's possible to revert to legacy lnb's if DPP's fail. Would the old lnb's work with a 211k using one of the old SW21's? Thanks.

    Tune signal with old receiver

    Yes, correct - thanks. I don't want to activate the 4900, just use it to tune. I will connect to a 211k in the house for programming.

    Tune signal with old receiver

    I need to re-tune 119W. I have an old 4900 which I can easily take outside by the dish. Is it possible to use this set-up? If yes, what TP should I tune to? thanks for your help.

    Internationals only

    Just wondering if it's possible to subscribe to only the international channels on 118. All I want is cricket - nothing else! Is there a minimum package? Thanks.

    Receiver losing contact with EHD

    Thanks for the advice kwindrem. I don't have a UNIX system, but I'll try the drive power recycle next time it happens.

    Receiver losing contact with EHD

    My 211K has recently been losing contact with the external hard drive resulting in the need to do a re-boot each time to restore the recorded programs. It seems to happen after a recording, or series of recordings. Sometimes, it needs 2 or 3 re-boots before the PVR feature is restored. Very...

    Sport + New channel

    Just showed up today at channel #9830 as part of the international package. I think it's Greek and has soccer and basketball. More soccer is all good!

    International World Pack no HD

    I have the IWP which includes Fox Sports 1, but it is not listed in the guide in HD. I have the HD add-on, so I figure I should be able to get it in HD. I watched the Arsenal vs Manchester City football this morning and the SD quality was atrocious. (So was the game!) The text on screen was...

    English Cricket MIA

    Eureka - I've found it! The England cricket is on "ONE" channel, 9794, on 118. This channel also has lots of other sports, including Euro soccer etc. It is part of the "World" package, which also includes Fox Sports 1, Tennis, Golf, FXX and a bunch of euro stuff - very interesting, and all for...

    English Cricket MIA

    Thanks bharath_das, but I prefer to watch on TV. The "cricket" pack used to give us 3 channels for $15 a month but is now only one and not worth the price IMO.

    English Cricket MIA

    Any one know where I can find the Test match between India and England? Willow TV used to carry the English games, but not any more. I'm guessing the TV rights were too expensive for Willow. Any info would be appreciated.

    Am I Being Taken For?

    To my knowlege no charges have ever been laid against a member of the public. The law was instigated and lobbied for by Bell, Rogers, Shaw et al as they have the Canadian rights to the programming. It's all about the money folks!

    Great service from DISH

    When I checked my bill, I had been charged $95 for a tech visit which I never had, nor ordered. I used the "chat" option to contact DISH and they were very polite and quick to solve my problem. No idea how the charge got there. For my inconvenience they offered me free Cinemax or Showtime for 3...

    $10 OFF HBO/MAX

    Saw a Dish ad while watching Fox Sports 1, for $10 off HBO and Cinemax. Anyone try for this? Is it just for new subs? The ad was so fast I didn't have time to read the small print. Assuming regular pricing this would be $18 for HBO, $13 for MAX, so the deal would be $21 a month for 6 months...

    Discounted Starz

    That's what I thought, deadlocked. So why is the DIRT member saying there's no deal? He should know! Anyone tried to get this deal?

    Discounted Starz

    I saw the tail end of a commercial for Starz but didn't catch the details. Is there a half price deal? Nothing on the Dish website.

    Need help with EA.2 new LNBF install

    Since I don't need any of the channels on 77, I replaced the triple EA LNBF with the new EA.2 version for 72.7 and 61.5. 72.7 comes in OK, but I can't find 61.5. The signal on 72.7 is certainly better than I was getting with the triple LNB I read somewhere that there are new angle settings for...

    Will Dish be lowering the cost of the cricket pack now

    i'm paying $14.99 for Willow alone. It's expensive, but I love cricket. I asked a DIRT member if there were any deals now that Neo is gone, and he said no. Wouldn't it be great if Dish could just take the SKY Sports feed from the UK!.

    New HD Install W/ only 61.5 and 72

    Anyone know if the new EA twin has different skew values, or can it be installed in place of the triple LNB without a change? It's downside is no connection for a wing dish.

    C band Back in the day

    You guys will remember Keith Lamonica and his FM America. I still have some casette tapes of his shows somewhere. Must try to dig them out. Oh, how I miss those days! Wonder if he's still around.
