    No Picture, No Sound Experience

    This might be well known on this forum, but I thought I'd throw this out there... I had a DTC-210 which suddenly developed a problem of no picture or sound. It would generate a menu and schedule guide. The satellite strength on all three satellites was 85-95... I called DTV Tech Support...

    Need Some Technical Help on H-10

    I've scheduled DTV to come to the house to try to figure this one out... Hard resets have not worked.... if I have time today, I'll try taking a good receiver and hooking it up to the projector... What happens if I take an access card from one of my regular receivers and insert it into...

    Need Some Technical Help on H-10

    Other Video sources (X-Box and DVD) work... remember I'm seeing the DTV guide and banner so I'm assuming that the DSS feed to my projector is good... Very frustrating and I appreciate the input...

    Need Some Technical Help on H-10

    Rockaway... I'm not getting any sound ... just a "muted" black screen with the DTV generated guide... Nothing about "searching for satellite or error code "771"... just a blank screen... if I pull out the access card, I get the access card error... I have not tried the receiver(s) on my...

    Need Some Technical Help on H-10

    I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on... When I returned from vacation, I fired up my HDTV set-up which was utilizing a RCA DTC210. I'd get on my projector the banners and guide from DTV, but absolutely no picture (black screen) and sound... all sattelite/transponder...

    A plea to Dish Network execs.....

    Great Post I was a Dish subscriber at about $100 per month. I switched to D* on January 7th for all of the reasons sighted above. I even did so with the MPEG 4 announcement by D*... I just can't let another round of NFL and NBA playoffs happen without HD. Even if it costs me money if I have...

    Poll: Dish Turnover

    I switched to D* on Jan 7th I made a threat and then followed through... The ABC-HD and FOX-HD additions in December is what did it for me. D* also announced at CES that ESPN2 will be added... The E* CSR was also very professional about my changing providers. I did ask him to...

    Moved to Direct TV after 8 years at Dish.

    After reading the great comments on Value Electronics, they did indeed get my order... No offense to Best Buy, but I'd rather give my money to a forum sponser...

    Moved to Direct TV after 8 years at Dish.

    I've been with E* since 2001.... and I posted in the Dish HDTV poll thread that the announcement that D* started to broadcast ABC-HD to eligible markets (which I'm part of) was the straw that broke the camel's back ... I also beleive that there will be nore defections from E* to D*. In the...

    HD Poll (initial research)

    ABC-HD now available on D* Well, according to AVS Forum, D* now has ABC-HD up and running, just in time for the BCS bowl games.... Added to the fact that D* also is carrying FOX-HD, NBC-HD, and CBS-HD the time has come... With well over $20,000 of equipment in my HT, switching to D* is...

    HD Poll (initial research)

    I'm not sure if this belongs in a different thread... All that I am asking for is a duplication of the offerings that D* has for the three networks (notice how I didn't ask for ABC). Who wouldn't want CBS, FOX, and NBC in HD provided by their satellite provider? No antennas or rotors which...

    HD Poll (initial research)

    A response to the O&O Networks I understand about the restrictions E* is under... But if D* can offer O&O CBS-HD, FOX-HD, and NBC-HD, then why can't E*... I beleive the most compelling HD content is still the network shows. I'd love to catch 24, House, ER in HD... I have a unique...

    Dish's Future HD Programming Priorities

    B - Want the National feeds (I'm 50 miles by the crow flies from the best HDTV antenna field) I have e-mailed Dish Network saying that I'm giving them until Nov 1st to add more HDTV or I will switch to Direct TV (and I will...) C - I don't mind paying for compelling programming A- I...

    What new HD channels should Dish add?

    I agree with the Networks... I want ABC-HD FOX-HD NBC-HD PBS-HD Many of us are with DISH because a) the local cable company doesn't have HD offerings (or as few as DISH) or b) they have antenna/reception issues or WAF issues with the mounting of an OTA antenna... Yeah I know about...

    VOOM in Somerset/Morris NJ

    Curious if anyone has had success in north central NJ with VOOM pulling in Phila or NYC. The program guide, when typing in my zip, shows both Philly and NYC. I really don't care which I get (both would be great), but as anyone who lives in this area knows, we lie about 35-55 miles from...

    emergency retailer chat?

    wait a minute... If DISH was/is defining themselves as the HD leader then I expect them to be at the forefront of providing HD content... Right now Comcast and Cablevision are providing StarzHD, CinemaxHD, and INHD. Direct TV has announced FOX ED and CBSHD... DISH was months behind D*...

    Anyone considering moving to DTV because of HDTV announcemen

    I'd Love to go OTA but... I'd love to go OTA but many of us in Western NJ have a unique problem... We are sheltered from NYC due to mountains running North/South, and we are still rural enough so that local cable companies will not invest in digital infrastructure... I could pull in Philly...

    Anyone considering moving to DTV because of HDTV announcemen

    AVS is reporting that DTV will be carrying CBS-HD and FOX-ED shortly (around Superbowl time). This is available to anyone in the market areas serviced by O&O stations (NYC, Phila, Chicago ...) When I became a Dish customer 2 years ago it was because they offered the most HD programming...
