    In the final steps of cutting my cable and I have an older Winegard 8 bay antenna in my attic on a rotator.

    OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

    I am looking to pull the plug on cable and I have my OTA antenna setup in my attic and I can get all my local channels. However, some of the shows I watch are on after I got to bed. I heard that there were specific DVR's, I think from Tivo, that could work. Walmart had a Magnavox...

    Why no FX HD on any lists?

    I am very happy with the new HD channels that we just got but I am surprised that FX HD has never been on any of the lists. Does D* have the market on it or something? Its not in any lists anywhere. I am just surprised. Anyone know of any info regarding FX HD?

    I am hoping for Syracuse, NY specifically. I know Buffalo was rumored for 5/15, can anyone confirm when Syracuse will receive? I got my Dish e-mail a couple of weeks ago telling me they were coming "soon"...their most popular word these days.

    Rotator problems...

    Well, my rotator appears to have died...but I'm unsure. I have a digital box that controls my rotator. It seems that when it gets damp or really wet out it stops working. Anyone have any suggestions? I was just going to buy a Channel Master brand to replace it.

    Whats up with Monsters HD programming?

    For that past 2 days their programming appears to be all screwed up. The guide states one movie is on but they are showing another. Did I miss something? Is this still Monsters HD?

    How much are the premium channels?

    I could only find the channels individually priced but no package deals. I thought at one time you could select 2 pay channels for $20 but I didn't see it listed anywhere. Anyone else know if there are any package deals around? I don't want to AEP as my bill will go up $30/month. I just want...

    What is wrong with this picture? Need help figuring out problem.

    Ok, here is my problem. My FOX is on channel 68 OTA. I was getting it with no problems up until 2 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden it was just gone. I confirmed with the engineer at the station that it is still available and working properly. My 622 cannot get a signal on it any longer. It...

    Discovery HD looks not so good?

    I was just watching my Discovery HD on my 622 and the clarity of the picture is crap! It seemed to be better on the 942. It could be just me but the clarity is definately isn't there. It just looks like a little bit clearer than SD. Anyone else notice this or am I smoking crack?

    622 and rewiding live tv...

    Anyone else notice that the screen flashes black as you rewind or go forward? My 942 didn't do that. Its not that bothersome but I just noticed it. My caller ID isn't working either but I know thats a known problem, no biggie either.

    VIP622 and OTA

    I had my 622 installed today and everything "appears" to be working fine. I have my locals on my OTA and it has scanned them all. But when I look at the guide it lists for instance my Fox as 68-00 and 68-01. Now my HD is 68-01, why does it list 68-00 also? I have locals through Dish also but...

    Special 622 upgrade phone # still working?

    I called my local retailer to upgrade my 942 but they are so backed up I was told to call Dish directly as they cannot take requests for the 622. So, does anyone know if the special 888# is still active to upgrade to the 622 or should I use the regular 800# for Dish and get whoever answers the...

    Upgrading to a 622, should I be worried?

    Well, I am finally going to take the plunge and calling my local Dish retailer today to swap out my leased 942 and getting myself a 622 since its basically free to upgrade now. I know there have been many bugs that have been talked about but is there anything major that I should hold off on...

    Maybe a stupid question but...

    I currently have a 942 that I have leased and will be upgrading to the VIP622. But I also have a 211 I believe. Its just the SD box with no DVR. I want to upgrade this to the 625, which I believe is just an SD box with a DVR. My question is that if I decide to purchase a 625 instead of...

    Problems with 942 and OTA after recent software upgrade?

    It seems that since they did the last software upgrade my 942 won't hold the signal at a constant rate. It seems to fluctuate quite a bit and this never happened prior to the upgrade. I also have noticed that the sound on my OTA's is much lower than on my satellie channels. Anyone else...

    Where can you buy rotor wire?

    I know about Solid Signal but they want $19 to ship the $25.99 spool of 250 ft. Is there any place else that I can buy this? Would a Home Depot or maybe a Lowes carry something like this? Any other websites anyone knows of? Thanks.

    Getting National Geographic HD on my OTA Fox channel??

    Ok, this is going to sound odd and I am trying to figure out how this is happening. I have my OTA getting in my local Fox network in Syracuse, NY. My HD Fox is channel 68 and my locals via Dish is channel 7628. Seinfeld is currently on channel 7628, which is the correct show, but when I got...
