    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    Somewhat related question...I'm thinking about "moving" from Louisville to Cleveland or Columbus. I get a lock on 129 for both and the signal strength is green and about 43. Is this good enough?

    Why no Columbus OH WBNS (CBS Ch 10) HD (and PBS too)?

    When Louisville got HD a couple months ago it came without Fox. It was only a couple weeks after that we got Fox in HD as well. This thread is relevant to me as I'm probably going to "move" to Columbus for the OSU/Browns games in fall and the Browns are probably going to be on CBS.

    4/1/2009 1:38pm - Uplink Activity Report - 171 changes

    They will probably just put in a wingdish anyways instead of the 1000.4 (which is what I wanted and they wouldn't give me) for the 77. Since it won't need to be in the same location as the others maybe they can find a sweet spot on the other side of the house or in one of the trees (lol) or...

    Did I get a bad 722?

    I upgraded to a 722 from a 622 about a month ago. I've been having trouble with the 722 freezing on the menu/dvr screen and rebooting. It also seems to reboot if all three tuners launch (TV1, TV2, OTA) recordings at the same time. I didn't run into any of these issues with my 622 so I'm...

    Dish Absolute and New HD

    I have Absolute and got CI and BET. I also have Showtime and got the new HD for those as well (but that's to be expected). I do not have Fox News or Business though. We'll see what happens at the end of the month.

    Can "DISHn It Up" Be Used to Replace Bad Receiver?

    It probably helps if you are out of contract. . .My 622 fried. I could watch TV on the tuners but nothing hard-drive related. Had to email CEO three times. Finally got a call. I was able to upgrade to 722 w/free install, HBO/Show for 3 months, and $10 off my bill for 20 months (I wanted 24...

    Louisville HD Locals install. Should I have been charged?

    I chatted online with a tech to get Louisville HD locals installed a week or so after they became available. They put in a wingdish. I subscribed to locals previously even though they weren't in HD. Just saw my bill and got a $99 install charge. Should I have been charged for this?

    Louisville, KY HD locals

    My experience -- I have a 1000.2 dish @ 110, 119, 129 locations to a Vip-622 and I've upgraded the smart card. I go online and talk to a tech rep and ask for someone to come out and upgrade my dish to 1000.4 and put me on EA so I can get Louisville locals. Tech says sorry, EA is only for new...

    Looks like Louisville/Lexington is going to get HD locals soon. I didn't think this was on the list for this year. Woot!

    Columbus HD locals

    They aren't on the list at the moment (neither is Louisville, Indy, Cinci, Dayton, Youngstown, Charleston). Your best bet is to "move" to Cleveland.

    Where can I "move" from Charleston WV and get HD locals

    You may be able to get Nashville. Not sure of transponder map. Cleveland is also a possibility. And Memphis just went live.

    Premium Channel Question

    Showtime has several great series going at the moment. Better than HBO in many respects.

    Do you ever use "On Demand"?

    I don't understand why they don't offer On-Demand for HBO/Showtime and the premiums. I can get this through my local cable company.

    OFFICIAL Dish Network ViP 622/722 L510 Release Notes

    Hmmm. Has there been a recent OTA software fix? I've noticed my NBC channel has become incredibly more stable. It was completely unwatchable for about a year, always bringing up the yellow screen within a few seconds of video. It still drops out now, but I can usually a good bit of programming...

    Ummm What happened to my Showtime?

    I subscribe to Showtime and today my guide was in green and it wanted me to talk to a rep to get the channels. And my Showtime HD was completely missing from my guide (and I mean the all channels guide). Anybody know what the deal is with this? I didn't bother rebooting yet. Guess I can try...

    Switching for one tuner to two tuners using remote (622)

    I'm very familiar with the mode button on my 622 unit to switch from one tuner source to two tuners so we can watch different programs on two tvs. Is it possible to switch between the two by just using the remote? It's kind of a pain having to get up and open the cabinet just to press a button...

    Big Ten Network

    Wait until August and subscribe then. There's nothing to watch on the regional channels until college football comes back as the MLB games are blacked out if they are not in your region. Why pay $6 more a month for no reason? Also, it will cost you $5 to downgrade after football or basketball...

    Big 10 National Feed Ending

    The multi-sport package is more of less pointless until Football season begins. You're still blocked out of NBA/MLB/NHL games if it's not on your regional channel and college basketball is over as far as the regional networks go. I'd wait until August and sign up then (The regional networks...

    Man, Dish is starting to give me a complex. I root for the Browns. I root for the Indians. I root for the Cavs. I root for Ohio State. And I still subscribe to Dish Network. Thanks, Dad...For teaching me to root for losers.

    Can I "move" to Cleveland?

    hmmm. You think I would be able to pick up 61.5 with a larger Dish? I think I have Dish 1000. Will need to check. I pick up 110, 119, 129. Sky is open where the dish is located on my house.

    OTA Antenna / Amplifier Question

    I had trouble with the signal on one of my OTA channels. Not sure if I have the same amplifier but I put it on before I split the signal to my 622 and TV tuner, and I got that channel relatively stable when I watch it on my TV tuner. Much better than before the amplifier was installed. It still...

    Can I "move" to Cleveland?

    Thanks for help. I didn't think I'd be able to get the spotbeam on 110. Maybe if they migrate on the HD launch. I think I should be able to get Columbus if it goes HD this year. Gotta get that Tribe in HD.
