    Sonic Tap quasi stereo?

    What can I say? currently listening to ch. 862, classic rock workout. Mellancamp's "Lonely Ol' Night" just got done, now its "Fool in the Rain", Zepplin. I'm 40, so I've heard these two many times before. Sounds like one channel from two speakers, not stereo. Some of the music of each song...

    Channel 861 PUMP!

    I'd love to listen to this channel, but I get "searching for signal...", although 860 and 862, as well as the other audio channels, are fine. Dish is very well peaked, 100% on some transponders, no problems on any other channels I watch. I reset the receiver, no help. I do not know which...

    I hope someone can help me see whats wrong. Yesterday, signal levels were in the low 90's. today, 0% for everything across the board. Dish and LNB are clear. Took meter out to dish, backlight came on, so it is getting power from Sat receiver. I assume this means cable is good to this point...

    Cable run for new second receiver

    I woulds like to add a second receiver to my D* setup, is there a way to do this without running a new cable all the way to the dish? I never anticipated this in advance, and I burried the current cable in cement when I put the dish/pole in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Closed Caption problems

    I have an H20 receiver, and several times a day, Closed caption is somehow turned on. No one else here, just me. Watch one channel, turn to another, and sometimes the C.C. turns on ,and I use yellow button to turn off. Does not happen all the time or on specific channels, seems 100% random.

    Is my 811 useless?

    I've got an old E* 811, is it really useful anymore, or would an informed person use it as a paperweight? Got D* last year, never got rid of E* equipment yet.

    Wildblue poor signal level

    I have a friend with Wildblue, just re-roofed his house. He reinstalled the satellite on the roof, it is not aimed well, will not log on. WB customer service says "You are getting a weak signal". It was great in the past. Can I peak the dish with a regular satellite meter? They sent a tech...

    D* dish setup question...

    I setup my slimline dish myself, turned out pretty good as far as I can see, BUT, on 12 HD channels, I get searching for satellite signal, 771 code. Did I do something wrong? Is there a list somewhere that I can't seem to find, showing which Sat. and TP each channel is on, or in reverse...

    New D* sub...

    Just switched from E* to D*, got a H21-200 receiver. My fault for not checking closer. Old D* had RF remote and Local channel integration, for some reason D* has dropped those on the new receivers. Can I just buy a H20 from Ebay and swap it out with my leased H21? Will I lose any HD...

    Switch to VIP 211 from 811...

    I am considering a switch to the 211 HD from the 811 HD, in part because all 4 of my 811's so far have sucked, and to add more Hd channels, like NFL HD. I currently have the superdish, do I need to add another dish? Can it be wired in to the multiswitch on back of the 811/ therefore, is...

    NON-Tivo Hd-DVR

    Does anyone know if there is something like this out there? Just a simple HD-DVR, that you can set to record just like a VCR, like, say, 3-4PM on every Tuesday. NO Tivo subscription required. Would be used just for OTA.

    Antenna Preamp suggestion?

    I have a Dish Network 811, all my locals are great except one. Went up on the roof and temporarily installed an indoor DB. amp. My last channel came in great, while it did not overload the rest. Any recommendations on a good mast mount amp that is not too strong, and can be satellite powered...

    I have a superdish, running through a switch on the dish. Can I use a diplexer to add my local hd ota signal to the same cable headed to my 811 receiver? For what it is worth, i am only using two of the three lnb's, the third on the outside I took off for portable dish. Ok, as I have no movie...
