    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...

    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, 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

    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

    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...

    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...

    Desperately need help with upgrade - don't want to leave E*

    After speaking to an individual at E* executive resolution office last week I have been unable to get this person to return my phone calls (I have been very polite). At this point I am seeking other ways to contact E* at levels higher than customer service or csr supervisors. My dilemma is...

    Dish says I can't upgrade

    Anyone else getting this response? so far they will not give me a reason - just say that the computer says I am not eligible and offer me the phone number of a local retailer to talk to. A supervisor has just now told me that since I originally signed up over 2 years ago with a local...

    Adding dish for 148

    On Friday I am scheduled for a free dish install to receive a Spanish local station that I think is on 148 (Santa Barbara CA locals). A couple of questions arise based on the following existing equipment: Quad dishpro lnb on dish500 feeding an 811, a 522, and using a DP34, a 322. 1. is...

    811 OTA channel mapping and Program Guide

    I know there are other threads on the PSIP issue, but felt it might be less confusing to ask my questions in a new thread. I currently (on my 811) receive NBC (KSBY) ota digital with correct channel mapping and program guide info. I also receive CBS (KCOY) ota digital/HDTV, but get no...

    811 program guide

    Overall, pretty happy with my 811. After reading the current threads on the 322/522 software I am starting to wonder if my 811 is not downloading the program guide as it should. Seems like about once every 24-36 hours when I try to change channels it will download the guide information. A...

    DP-34 question

    I have a new DP34 switch in a new install that is not really finished. (811 - died) (322 died) 522 -works well, 311 (on separate DP 500) works well. Quad DP lnb - works fine into the 522 if connected directly. However, when I try to go thru the DP34 it will not pass a switch check. I...
