Not sure if anyone cares, but I had Dish send me a new 508 and my picture is very clear. The first 508 replacement had faint but noticeable wavy lines. Sorry but I'm sure that orginal 508 goes back in pool of refubs so don't feel shy returning a receiver with faint wavy lines

First please don't use all caps. Having built various electronic devices over the years I would rather just add a missing metal top to the shielding of the analog TV tuner then to go through the debug/wait for new receiver hassle I just experienced with DISH with the first replacement.

Hi Nick, Try different cables and different TV connections. This may be obvious , but you should see an improvement with direct connections (RCA, Svideo, or HDMI, component for HD) verses modulated (CH 3/4) coax cable. Also for HD the HDMI should be much better than component. Note: I just...

Thanks! After playing roulette with dish techies I finally got a technician who agreed the smartcard needed to be replace. The techie said since my 301 receiver was not activated since 2004 the smartcard update was not flagged. All makes sense now , but I would have expected the "normal"...

Sorry I was speaking to tech support at least that what I asked for with automated phone response. Anyway, the last guy I talked to said he did not know what the DNASP was and that my receiver is broken. I insisted to talk to the supervisor and he also just said the receiver is broken. :mad...

Just got the following from the Big Ten Network. No blackouts! Big Ten Network does not black out any games due to geographical location or subscription. The same BTN schedule that can be found on bigtennetwork.com is the same BTN that we see here in Chicago and that you will see outside...

Blackouts? I'm in the NYC DMA with AT 200 so I lost the Big Ten network. Now when August rolls around I'll want to watch college football. First will the Big Ten college football games be shown on the Alt sport channels? Last year many college football games were shown on the Alt sport...

Competition One word.... Competition. All your comparison are bogus because DISH Network is a SERVICE not a device like a TV. Think of the cell phone industry. A cell phone or DISH reciever is useless unless you have the service or plan to sell the device. Free phones (or receivers) ... pay...

kaptainkidshow, Yes I have Dish family. What do what to know? The list of channels for $19.99 is clearly displayed at Dish network's website. Also don't ask for emails on site like this. Most of us like to be anonymous to avoid spammers. Don't be suprised if you see lots of spam pumped...
