    Recording?

    Recording follow-up. I'm not familiar with OTA module? I have some diplexers on hand. When I previously used them to combine SAT/ OTA signals the OTA reception was poor. Since then I have relocated antenna into attic and also ran a dedicated OTA line to each TV. The reception is great. If I...

    Recording?

    Currently have 2-301 DISH receivers and 2-HD TVs. Would like the capabilty to record programming when not at home. If I go route of DVR won't I be required to run a coax from #1 TV > #2 TV or continue to pay subscription fee on 2nd 301? With DVR set up can #2 TV access Over The Air broadcast?

    Losing 148 signal for unknown reason.

    How come I lose 148 signal? Sun can be shining and signal will disappear. No trees in the way. Comes back mysteriously the way it was lost. Running Check Switch during outage always comfirms everything but 148 signal. Have powered receiver down by holding in on power button. Comes back the same.

    Dish Network is weatherproof??????

    Last thunderstorm we had here, 110 was lost but 119 signal remained. I have DISH Pro 500 equipment. I thought with that LNB during bad weather if you lost one the other side would be lost also?

    Local channel politics

    "From the way you worded your question, you were wondering why you have to get say NY or LA distant channels as oppose to just the next DMA over?" Thats the beef I have. I would rather have my own State news than some state 1,000 miles away.

    Local channel politics

    No need to go over who gets local channels. My parents don't. An antenna will get them local ABC, PBS and nothing :mad: Could a large outcry (letter campaign to Senators & Representatives or whatever) from the public get legislation changed so viewers must not have far away stations crammed...

    Hackers still going strong.
