    $10 "HD 200"

    Even though we cut the cord several years ago, my wife's parents still have Dish Network at their house, and the service is in our name since we manage those kinds of things for them since English is not their first language. Anyway, I logged into their account today and here's how it breaks...

    What's this unusual LNB configuration called?

    I have a Dish install I'm parting out on eBay (we've gone OTA / HTPC), and I need some help identifying the LNB. I'm not quite sure how to best describe it in the title. Most of the LNB's for sale on there have a model/configuration name (for example, "Dish Network 500+ LNBF assembly") and list...

    I lost MavTV, and a few other channels??? America's Top 200

    Okay, I've been on Dish's website and this site for the last half hour trying to figure this thing out, but so far I'm still stumped. So here's my programming, and nothing has changed in quite a while: America's Top 200 59.99 HD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver 17.00 DVR Service 6.00 HD 200 Free...

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    I can't believe that I'm the only one experiencing this, but I searched the forums and did not see any threads specifically discussing this. I have a 722 in my basement home theater hooked up to my projector, and a 622 upstairs hooked up to the family TV. For the last few months, I have...

    Charlie commercial during Vikings/Saints, no more separate HD?

    After the Dish Network commercial last night during the Vikings and Saints game, I figured that I would come to SatelliteGuys and see some new front page news regarding Dish Network and the way they market HD. But nothing on the front page, and I don't see any new threads about the commercial...

    HGTV and FOOD HD dead?

    Anybody else having a problem with HGTV HD or the Food Network HD? Both channels have been dead (black screen, no sound) for at least the last few minutes. SD feeds seem to be fine.

    Projector placement for brightest image

    Now that I'm moving to a house with a basement and a dedicated home theater area, I'm wanting to move to a larger screen. I'm currently running a 106" DIY black-out-cloth screen with my Sony VPL-AW15. I'm wanting to go to a bigger screen, something between 120 and 133 inches, but that's probably...

    Atlanta HD locals problem after "moving"

    I live near Indianapolis, but "moved" my service address to Atlanta for HD locals. When I moved, Atlanta locals were CONUS on 129, but sense then they have added the HD locals on a spotbeam on 61.5 which I cannot get. So now when I try to tune to the HD locals, I sometimes get an error message...

    IS CLOSED CAPTIONING REALLY THAT HARD TO GET RIGHT??? ARGH!

    Sorry about screaming, but this is driving me crazy. It's bad enough that you have to go through several menus to turn CC on and off, but to add insult to injury, about 50% of the time it doesn't even work. It's either all garbled, or just doesn't show up at all. Every TV I've owned or used in...

    Looking for small amount of "pitch pad"

    Does anybody know where I could get a small amount of pitch pad? I'm going to be installing a dish mount on the overhang of my house, and so far I've only been able to find pitch pad in bulk. Thanks!

    How to sell a receiver?

    I tried to search the forum for the answer to my question, but came up empty. I'm planning to sell my 811 on ebay and apply the money towards a 622 upgrade, but I have a couple questions. 1) Do I need to do anything to deactivate the receiver before I put it up for sale? Can I advertise...
