    Can anyone point me to PIP information?

    The Dish guide is useless on how to change PIP channels. Personally, I can't figure it out. THe only PIP picture I get is the Dish 100 channel of information. How do you get the different PIP channels? Advice anyone? Is there a link someone can point me to on more specific information...

    What new HD programming can we expect?

    I know Dish's copout answer is "when it is cost effective", and I can appreciate that. But, I am hoping and praying that Dish gets the following soon, if at least for sports reasons: CSTV INHD INHD2 Stars HD Anyone with any inside knowledge on Dish's thinking on these channels? I'd...

    Do you use an UPS backup

    supply with your t.v./921 receiver? I use a high-grade surge protector, but I've had the power go out a few times, and it doesn't make me comfortable. Can you recommend a reasonably priced UPS backup power supply for home entertainment systems? I'd hate for anything else to go wrong with...

    Good News about L187 download

    I did a reset NMV, and reset Factory Defaults during the download (I didn't know I had a download going on since no blinking light) and got a black screen with jumbled characters. I turned it off, hoping it was a software download, and left it alone until the morning. In the morning, I...

    Are people giving up on the 921?

    There are basically few if any new threads on this receiver. Have people just given up and decided it isn't worth the energy? What to do about the $1,000? Can we get a refund from Dish before a year is over, and apply it to a new 942 receiver, assuming it's better (huge assumption, I...

    Won't record when powered off?

    I used to be able to set a timer that would record when powered off. For some reason, however, I can't record TNT HD programs when the unit is powered off. Anyone else seeing this problem?

    Some good news RE: stability

    It has now been 1.5 weeks since I have had to rescan my OTA channels. Normally, I have to rescan them every 2-3 days. Recently, a tech came and switched out a connector used to connect wires from the Dish to the receiver, but that was only to fix an apparently dead wire. Maybe the wire was...

    Any idea on the next software update?

    It's getting pretty old trying to explain to my wife why the OTA's don't show any data, and why I have to rescan them every few days or so. I'd heard that the software fix for this would be second or third quarter. Please, someone tell me this is coming sooner rather than later. BTW -...

    Is this a common 921 problem?

    My OTA channels "unlock" from the signal about every 2-3 days, and I have to reset the system, and rescan the digital signals just to get them back. In particular, I get the dreaded "Local channel [insert channel number] not found" for all of my OTA channels. Is this what's going on with...

    Stupid questions: Dish 508 and OTA Channels

    I realize the Dish 508 is old school for many of you, but a couple of questions for you smart guys out there. I have decided to add OTA channels to my Dish 508 (identical to Dish 510, but smaller hard drive), since I have had great success in terms of quality and numbers of channels by adding...

    OTA Program Guide issues - no data (help!)

    When I view the EPG on the scanned local digital channels, all it says is "Local Programming". The EPG does not indicate any of the information about currently playing shows, or anything of that nature. I called Dish and the tech support acted as if they had no idea what I was talking about...
