    All my locals in the Greensboro NC market are showing up in my guide as Off Air and when I try to view the channels, I am getting a "Channel Not Available" message. Anyone else seeing this?

    This is my first time in a while not subscribing to HBO and I see where a free preview was just lit up, is HBO On Demand and/or HBO Anytime available with the preview?

    What's with all the recent channel moves?

    Been noticing all the channels moving lately (SoapNet, Outdoor Channel, Reelz), is this to open up spots for new channels? MLB Network would seem logical in Outdoor's old spot, anyone heard anything?

    Heavy pixelation on just one transponder?

    Hey guys, was hoping some of you could help with this. Went over to my parents for dinner tonight and I was told they were having some issues with a few channels on their satellite (they have E*). Dad flipped to 154, NFL Network, and the channel would frequently break up and freeze and would...

    HBO Zone in SD?

    Any chance this channel loses the HD-only treatment Dish is giving it and adds it in SD to channel 308 as well? Would seem to make since Dish is increasing the price of HBO..

    HBO Zone

    Saw where they are adding all the HBOs in HD on 8/1. Will the SD version of HBO Zone be included in the HBO package or will it just be the HD version added?

    Anyone else experiencing signal drops this afternoon?

    Watching the Cubs game on WGN and I am getting the "acquiring signal" for a split second every once in a while. It's doing it on all my recievers so it's not a receiver issue.

    Corrupt recording on 508?

    Hey guys, got a quick question. I tried watching a recording on my 508 last night that was an hour long(and says length is 1 hour in my "My Recordings" list). However, when I tried to start the event, it immediately flipped back to the program info screen giving me the option to "Start Over"...

    Any way to tell if E* gets your locals via fiber or OTA?

    My locals that I'm getting since the distants were shut off don't look as good as the New York distants, but they look comparable to the Los Angeles distants. I assume NY and LA are via fiber, but does Dish get most of their locals through OTA? I assumed my locals were OTA, but after getting...

    new distant networks- awful quality??!!

    How's the quality of the NPS Atlanta/SF distants? I'm interested in any reports from those that have been successful adding these so far. A big draw of the distants to many is the picture quality usually being superior to locals, but I am hearing mixed reviews on some of the NPS distants. If...

    Opinions on best 2-tuner DVR?

    If Dish doesn't get some legislation to reverse the injunction, I am going to have to start timeshifting my locals :mad: I currently have 3 508s and have not had experience with Dish's 2-tuner DVRs but from what I understand the current model is the 625 and the 721 is the older model? Which one...

    Anyone with distants have their locals turned on this morning?

    I have NY/LA distants (I have waivers) and do not subscribe to my locals. This morning I am scrolling through the guide and I see below channel 100 that my locals are in the guide. Is this some attempt by Dish to get me to cancel my distants? I do not want these, so should I call Dish and...

    Add MASN already Dish!!

    The blackouts are already starting, it seems like anyone on the east coast is blacked on anything involving the Nationals. Get MASN up already E*, it can't be that expensive, let's go already.

    Question for anyone with the Multi Sport package

    Preseason baseball games are starting soon, and I was wondering how Dish is handling the blackouts. I canceled my Multi Sport pack last fall after the blackouts kept increasing, but with this package you never know how they handle the preseason games so if anyone has this package and can check...

    Is Dish still negotiating with OLN?

    I know everyone is talking about Lifetime now(I couldn't care less), but is Dish still talking with OLN? Scott, have you heard anything recently?

    Is Dish ever going to add any more channels?

    I am so fed up with E*, cable and Direct regularly add channels and E* doesn't add ANYTHING besides locals and foreign channels. They are really lagging behind in the basics. Where is NFL NETWORK??!?! Where is Oxygen?? These are BASIC CABLE channels, and it's beyond pathetic that E* doesn't...

    Braves blacked out on TBS???

    What is going on? I go to watch the Braves tonight on TBS and it's blacked out?? WTF? This has NEVER happened before, I called Dish and they said that's it's blacked out across the ENTIRE COUNTRY and that no one can watch this game. Is this just BS? Is anyone seeing this game?

    Recording glitch with my 508 recievers..

    I have been quite happy with how reliable *knocks on wood* my 508 recievers have been for me since I have had them, but I have been experiencing one recording problem lately. I know exactly when this will happen which will result in my 508 locking up. Let's say there's a show on at 7:00 and...

    Grandfathered distant networks?

    I called Dish a couple days ago to correct an error on my statement, and while on the phone with the CSR she mentioned that my locals are available in a free SuperDish upgrade(yes I know, I intentionally avoid adding them since they are crap) and I politely told her I didn't want them and I am...

    Best Charlie Chat EVER

    :D Wow I tell you what, Jeff Garlin is friggin hilarious, Charlie Chat tonight was about as funny if not funnier than an actual episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was literally in the floor rolling when Jeff said "now I have a question, what about Swedish television for young people?" and...

    Anyone had any luck getting a 508 upgrade from Dish?

    I am wanting to replace my old 301 downstairs but I refuse to pay $5 for the PVR functions. Will Dish let me get a 508 for $99 or $149? I'd even pay $200 to avoid the monthly fees. Anyone had any luck with this? I read someone that was told all the 508s are only for current 508 users, was...
