    Relocate dish?

    We are going to have our dish relocated from the roof to an existing pole about one foot to the east of where it is and approx. 10-15 feet below. I already contacted dish on cost so I'm good with that. BUT, I wanted to see if there was an app or a way to make sure the dish will work from that...

    Issue with skip forward and pause - Hopper

    For approximately 2-3 weeks now I've had a problem with skip forward and pause on my hoppers. Not a hopper 3, I guess a 2? My remotes are 40.0. Here's what's going on - I have two hoppers, if I access and watch a program from the opposite hopper when I press skip forward to go thru...

    Watching programs from one dvr to the other = fade

    We have 2 hoppers - honestly not sure which ones but definitely not 3's, they're fairly old. When watching a program on one hopper that was recorded on the other hopper (run on sentence, ha ha) there seems to be a lot of fade during the program. This happens with both hoppers and only if...

    How Long Should I Wait For a Reply From DIRT Team Member?

    I sent a pm to a DIRT team member on Sunday, haven't heard back yet. I didn't expect an immediate reply but was hoping to hear something by now. Should I give it a couple more days or post my issue here?

    HWS Caller ID no landline?

    I did a search and found a few older posts regarding caller id on the HWS without having a hardwired landline. We are thinking of dropping our landline and going with TWC phone. From the posts I found thru the search everything was a bit too technical for me, I just couldn't understand it...

    Help - Reception problem

    Just finally got a chance to sit down and turn on the tube and have the signal loss error. We HAVE gotten snow here today and I'm hoping once we can get up there to knock it off it will help but in the meantime I did a switch test and it said "one of the switches is not connected correctly" - I...

    Aligning Dish

    Back in August I posted about our roof being replaced and what to do about dish alignment, etc. Well, 3 months later and FINALLY the roof is going on today. Don't even go there, sore subject but this is the life I get dealt when my brother is a contractor, family always comes last. Luckily...

    New Roof

    Our dish is on the roof, what happens when you get a new roof? We are going to have to either re-shingle or possibly put on a new steel roof shortly and I'm sure when the time comes the contractor will call a day or two before they're coming to say "we're next"....I'm sure I can't just lift the...

    Help with Mirroring...

    FYI - I have a previous long thread regarding me going to the hopper because of losing distant networks, I thought I had it down pat on how to mirror but guess not. Got the hoppers installed today and have bought modulators for each hopper (I have two hoppers, 4 tv's, no joeys). I plugged the...

    Looking into the Hopper after losing Distant Networks

    Is there a link that explains exactly what the Hopper does (and doesn't do)? With the loss of Distant Networks, our current set up is falling short recording-wise. We used to be able to record a lot of the prime time shows at a later time (we're on the east coast and taped the west coast) so...

    Satellite Inet or Wireless Broadband?

    I'm seriously trying to compare what would be the best for my household. We live in rural upstate/central New York. The only internet I can aquire is dial up(no way), mobile broadband or satellite. I've been using mobile broadband for quite a few years now, by plugging the usb modem into an...

    Do tech's normally carry dishes with them?

    Try to keep a long story short as my frustration wants to keep me spouting off. Had a tech at the house yesterday as 2 722k's were having problems regarding a switch test. After hooking up both only got limited channels (example - got animal planet but not ID, no locals). We also receive...

    722K Freezing up ALOT

    My 722K is freezing up often...every show I have taped so far to be exact. On one of the programs it was so bad I had to reset it twice. Was there something wrong (like an eclipse, lol) today or is my receiver pooping the bed slowly?

    Is there any 30 day guarantee?

    Just got Dish within the past two weeks because of the 100% locals advertising. One day after I got it, our local NBC station conveniently had their transmitter "go out" and have been working on it ever since, of course, it's funny that it coincided with Dish offering it finally, with Direct...

    Question on remotes

    Hi all, just made the switch yesterday from dtv. No complaints with the channels etc. Think the dvr menus, etc will take awhile, have to say dtv was alot more user friendly but I'm sure I'll adapt. What I DO have a problem with is the remotes, I hate them. We got two 722's and the newer...

    Super perturbed....24 month commitment

    Been a Dtv subscriber for 5 years. The past few days been contemplating switching over to dish because of the free hd and the cheaper price in general. In the meantime I had called D and they were going to come this week to install free hd for 2 years. I decided today I didn't want to do it...

    Comparison info?

    I'm on a work computer so they'll flip if I do too much searching on here for what I'm looking for, soooooo, easier to ask, hope you don't mind! Dish just picked up my area for locals (finally)...it's the Utica, NY area. I currently have Direct and am happy with it except would like the...

    Plugging time warner into Direct DVR?

    Hi all, a friend of mine is bugging the you know what out of me with this particular question. I'm pretty resourceful but can't find an answer anywhere. She has Directv (dvr, not sure which one but probably whatever comes free with the install) but cannot get local channels so has to purchase...

    OTA coax into multiswitch problem

    Hi All, I posted back a few months ago in anticipation of having to get dtv converter boxes and how to hook ota up with directv receivers, etc. We finally got the antenna up and ran it into our multiswitch (winegard vm3400) and were then going to use diplexers at the receivers to run the...

    Question on Installation, Diplexer

    Ok, back in Feb. I posted asking how to hook up OTA to go into two "old" tv's using Directv. Ciwsguy was very helpful and finally got me to understand that I would need to use diplexers. We are now finally ready to install our antenna and I was online looking at diplexers and got a little...

    Have satellite, need boxes?

    I have directv in three rooms in my home. I have one tv that is already hd ready but the other two are oldies. If I'm using satellite receivers do I still need to buy the converter boxes? Also, we are putting up an outdoor antenna in the spring and I tried to read (and understand, ha ha) how...

    Have an R15, problem with "2" tuners

    I've noticed within the past week or so (beginning to wonder if it had to do with the software update we all got) there's been a problem switching between tuners that I don't know how to fix. It will only record one program at a time? If I try to record two or change the channel while it's...

    I think my R10 lost it's mind, literally

    Any ideas? I have an R10 and an R15...the R10 is our "main" dvr and I have alot of programs set to record on a daily basis. For the past week or so I've noticed programs missing. For an example, I set up the new show Identity on NBC with a season pass. Last night was the premiere, it didn't...

    Thanks for your help

    To all that helped me when I was asking how to hook up a new, additional dvr by myself I would like to say thanks so much! It's all hooked up and activated (with no commitment thanks to retention) and working beautifully!!! I can't believe they recommend to have it done professionally, it was...
