    Club Dish PPV movie coupons ????

    Just received my 5 movie coupons for a club dish referral today, March 20th. The coupons expire March 31 2009. Is this for real? I have 11 days to not only watch 5 PPV movies, but also get the coupons redeemed? I can almost hear the CSR spin.....well, have to try to see if I can get some...

    Santa Barbara HD Locals Picture Quality ?

    Daytime shows without checking the network websites, my asumption is that all these daytime shows are SD feeds from the network. I think we should see HD shows in a few hours.

    Santa Barbara HD Locals Uplinked, Now What?

    I hope the Dish site is wrong AS of this morning, the Dish website shows ABC CBS and NBC in HD but not Fox.....If we are not getting Fox in HD, that means that after all this waiting all I gain is ABC....like others I can get CBS and NBC OTA. I'm hoping it's just a website error, but with...

    HD local launch schedule for March

    Now that the February local HD launches seem to be done, I wonder, does anyone have a week by week breakdown for the planned activations of local HD in March? I'd sure like to see the Santa Barbara DMA early in such a projected list :hungry:

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    okay, found out how to disable local sat channels - that won't work for my situation either, since I can't get ABC in any form over the over the air. Oh well, all this for a minor problem with the remote....time to let it drop and if Harmony fixes the bug, great, otherwise I just won't...

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    Well, your 2nd thought was correct, it does work on a favorite list in program guide, but does not help just changing from one channel to another - just goes to the local satellite channel. James - in my 622 I don't see any option to disable satellitye locals....either I am blind - probably...

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    Thanks for that info James I am going to call Harmony this am, probably will get the same response that you did....but maybe since you called they "fixed" it. If not, which is probably the case, I will try your workaround. However, I don't understand one of your statements: "I put the...

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    Well, all of the above suggetions, except the skip button acting like a . or - work with the Dish remote. However, this Harmony remote drops the preceeding zeroes when they are put in the channel number for favorites. So will have to see if there is a workaround for that.... All for...

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    Okay, I've searched here, Dishnetwork and google....and no answer found Is it possible to access ota sub channels directly from the remote (i.e by punching in numbers)? Of course I know I can do it from the guide, but I am trying to set up a Harmony universal remote and this is the last...

    DPP 44 died - replacement switch DOA

    How many dual tuners My understanding is that Dish will only allow a customer to lease 4 tuners - any combination of single or dual. You can have more than the 4 if you own the additional receivers Terry

    DPP 44 died - replacement switch DOA

    A happy ending to my story Linkus tech came out today and put in a NEW DPP 44 and a new power inserter and voila - it works. Dish could have saved money if they had just sent me a new DPP 44 and power inserter instead of the DOA remanufactured one. TC

    DPP 44 died - replacement switch DOA

    Dish sent me a remanufactured DPP 44. My first thought when it arrived is this could be good - original bad/weak parts replaced and checked out. Unfortunately, I suspect that they just sent me a bad one that had been returned by someone else. The remanufactured replacement did not come with a...

    DPP44 went South - Is this unusual?

    2 months after my 622/Dish1000/DPP44 install it appears that my switch has died. Got an error message telling me to do a check switch. That test only turns up 119 on port 1. If I swap out the DPP44 fo my older DP34 I see all 3 sats (110/119/129) as before). It's the same on all 3...

    OTA HD from opposite directions

    thanks for the responses When I got my 622 I got very bad pixelation on NBC off the back of the antenna pointed to CBS, that at low 70's signal strength. Didn't have that on the 811. I'll look into some kind of signal "joiner". I just wonder if what RS sells is just a "reverse splitter"...

    OTA HD from opposite directions

    In my location I can receive CBS HD ota from a tower SE of me and I can receive NBC HD from a tower to the North. (California Central Coast) How do I get the best signal strength for both at the same time. The towers and terrain demand an antenna with moderate gain. Today I connected...

    622 installed today - Sunday - interesting

    My 622 install was scheduled for yesterday, Saturday noon to 5pm. Installer called at about 9:30 am to reschedule since they had no DPP 44s. Okay, kind of expected that after reading some of the posts here. Rescheduled for Wednesday, just 4 days off, not tooooo bad. About 11am this...

    Grounding Block

    Is it acceptable to have the grounding block on the interior wall? Is there any limit to the length of wire to the house ground? I think I am looking at 20-25 feet. Reading the grounding info at the Sadoun site, it says an interior metal water pipe is an acceptable ground - If the...

    622 Arrived

    Thanks for the reply Did hook it up last night and all worked just fine. got the software download and program guide, so all is ready for next Saturday. The installer tells me that the workorder specifies a Dish 1000 and a DPP 44 switch. I asked them to bring 2 additional separators. I...

    622 Arrived

    Similar question to OP Reveived my 622 today via UPS with 3/11 install. Located the installer but they have nothing earlier. I know there is no point in trying to activate it before the install as I only have a Dish 500 My question is this: If I hook it up can I test it out on a demo...

    622: dish 1000 or lnbf change?

    Is there a place on Dish's website where you can see your work order? I've searched for mine, but not found anything. I would love to see what my work order includes since I am adding a 622 and keeping a 322 and a 522. I expect I will need a Dish 1000 and 2 or 3 separators. TC

    Advice needed on upcoming 622 install

    I am upgrading an 811 to a 622. I plan to keep an existing 522 and 322 on the same dish, which should be a dish 1000 (located on the Central Coast of CA). Am I correct in assuming that my Dish 1000 will be installed with a DPP44 and a DPP separator for the 622? Even though I have dual...
