Just turned on the TV and seen that my VIP 211k is displaying a message I've never seen before "Smart Card Not Inserted 019" Its fully inserted and I've never had an issue with the receiver until today. I removed card and reinserted as it tells me but nothing works. I've rebooted it also. :( I...

Why do certain shows have the date of the show (1978) making the receiver think that the episode is not new therefore it doesn't record it. ABC World news and The Price is Right are two that I record and recently the date changed in the description of The Price is Right changed to (1956) and...

If I subscribe to a package above the Welcome Pack with locals am I able to resubscribe to the Welcome Pack later? In the past I read that we were not allowed to go back to this introductory package. But recently I sent a suggestion to Dish about allowing this and they said I could already...

Today when I turned on my receiver. There was a message saying that in order to use the DVR feature that I have to reformat my hard drive. Did they update the software? I've been using this hard drive for a while and I several shows I still needed to watch. : /

Is Dish Network still using the model 1000.4 dish for eastern arc? Do they have a newer version? I got mine a few years ago but online I've seen some that only has two lnbs. Mine has three: 77,72.7 and 61.5. A storm just knocked out my dish signal. I haven't had a chance to try fix it yet but I...

I noticed an issue with my VIP 211k. Even with the system lock on and other channels hidden they can be easily bypassed by just viewing a previous recorded unlocked TV show. Poof! It acts like the receiver is not locked or hidden and you have to turn the receive off and back on for it to...

Any differences in the older 1000.4 eastern arc dish to the newer 1000.2 eastern arc other than one less lnb? Any benefit to upgrading to the newer dish?

I just turned off my auto billing because on this months bill I see they put a $95 Tech Visit. I didn't have a tech visit. I installed the system myself. Anyone else get random Tech Visit charges for no reason? I called customer service and they said they didn't know why it was there...

I looked on Dish Network but I guess its a guarded secret. How much does a PPV movie cost on Dish Network? Is it $5.99? is it different for HD?

It would be nice to own a receiver that if I lose power for a couple of minutes that I don't have to wait forever to re-download the program guide. I miss half the show I'm watching after it regains the signal and programming guide. The receivers need a solid state memory module that holds a...

Will a Acutrac 22 Pro work to find the signal for a eastern arc install? I know it works find for C and Ku but not sure about Ka. :confused:

How exactly does the dual tuner receivers connect to a second TV in a different room? One instruction manual I saw says to connect it to the existing coax cable in the home. However, that is where cable tv is currently available. If I am using both cable and dish network (long story) how do I...

Receiver activation after self install fees What fees can I expect after doing a self install a eastern arc Dish Network system? Setup fee? access card fee?

I have an existing 2.5 diameter fence pole that I use for my FTA dish. I want to mount a Dish Network 1000.4 Eastern Arc dish to this same pole. I was thinking of using a U bolt to attach the base that normally attaches to a roof to this pole. Anyone else do it this way? What size U bolt did you...

I've seen these DPP44 switches at various prices. What is the average price for a new DPP44 Switch? Thanks.

I was thinking about getting an Eastern Arc Dish for a self install. Where is the best place to purchase a new one. I see some on ebay but I don't trust most people who sell on there. And what would be the price range I should expect. Thanks. Please no offers to sell me yours. Unless its free. ;)

Are there any channels that are on any satellites between 45.5 and 61 C band that a FTA system can receive? I've never found anything on any of those satellites not even the signal to actually find the satellite. I do have a clear line of site to all of them. Anything worth trying to find? :)

I recently purchased a Venture Mini T from Volunteer Satellite Distributors. It arrived damaged and when I called about it he indicated those were shipped from China and he had no spare covers. However, on the Venture website I get the impression they are manufactured in the United States...

This all started when I was programming my C band satellites back into my Openbox S10 after the latest firmware update. Ku worked fine prior to programming my C band satellites. Then, I noticed something odd. I had to unplug my c band lnb from my Digiwave DiSEqC switch for the Ku to work. The C...

Ok. I am nearly 99.999% my dish is alligned correctly. It was correct a few weeks ago and I haven't changed it. And no one else touches it. The only thing I have done is remove the firmware updates that are garbage and returned to the 7/17 update the only one that works stable. My southern...

Nasa don't even know what satellite their channel is broadcasting. I hope they know which planet they are sending the next rover to this saturday. :rolleyes: From the Nasa Press Kit/NOVEMBER 2011: "The NASA TV Media Channel is available on an MPEG-2 digital C-band signal accessed via...

Anyone hear anything good or bad about a SatHawk 6910 Signal Meter? Just seen it over on Sadoun's web site. They are selling it for $199. Seen it a little lower on ebay but not much. This would be useful rather than dragging out the receiver and TV.

This is a review of Satellite AV’s newly designed mast clamp for the GeoSatpro 90cm Offset dish. This is a good quality dish and that is what influenced my original purchase. Earlier this year I purchased my first Ku band dish from Satellite AV. I chose a GeoSatpro 90cm Offset Dish. Dish...

I'd rather not buy another dish network dish and I was wondering if it would hurt or is it compatible to use my current FTA dish 36 inch with a Dish Network receiver. Will it hurt hooking the receiver via the cable that runs to the HH motor? Which satellites are on the Eastern Arc? I see most of...

How do 3D TV's Compare to the 3D at the movie theater? I haven't looked at any 3D TV's yet. I was just wanting to know is it the same 3D that is seen in a movie theater? I was under the impression to see 3D like in a theater the image had to be projected. Or is this 3D comparable to the...
