    Here is a question for someone who has first hand knowledge or lives in the Brattleboro VT area and is or knows a Dish Subscriber. That section of VT has both Boston and Burlington stations.

    Replacement VIP211K won't show previous DVR shows

    My daughter had to replace her silver VIP211. Dish sent a VIP211K. The old VIP211 had the DVR function activated and the new VIP211K does have DVR functionality. The problem is that all of the shows previously recorded by the old VIP211 show up, but can't be played. If she tries, the screen...

    Error 1316 Reset MoCA connection

    This problem started after the recent software upgrade. Never saw this prior to that. I have 1 HWS and 1 Joey. Several minutes into watching a DVR program on the Joey, the following message pops up: Attention 1316 "Another TV has reset the MoCA connection. This will interrupt your...

    Application Software version number

    It has been a week since my HWS/Joey was installed and the Apps are still not working. When I look at the 'System Info' screen there is no number after "Application Software". Is that why none of the Apps are functional? I have done both soft and hard resets, but the Apps are still MIA. Is...

    DTV HD Satellites

    My neighbor, who has his main residence in NJ, has a DTV SD package with NYC locals. A year ago I installed a 3 lnb dish for him at up here at his camp in NH. He carries his receiver back and forth. As far as I can tell he is only using the satellite at 101, I could have used a single lnb dish...

    HughesNet Parts ID

    The manger of our local "Recovery Park" (AKA 'The Dump') has been keeping an eye out for me in collecting old Satellite Dishes. While most of the things taken from the dump are legacy D* and E* dishes, I have had a few jems. Last spring someone brought in an old 121 SuperDish. I converted that...

    72W, 83W & 91W with SuperDish

    Last fall I picked up a discarded Superdish (121,119 & 110) at the dump. It works well enough for FTA, but does not give me as much signal strength as my Primestar dish. The good news is that I found it was relatively easy to add multiple LNBs to the arm. Through EBay I picked up 2 more...

    Picking up RTV with SuperDish 121

    I am having trouble picking up RTV on AMC-9 @ 83 using an old SuperDish 121. From what I can tell, I am on AMC-9 because I can pick up a few wild feeds like colorbars from NBC in Charlotte, NC, a basketball game from the Sunbelt network and another basketball game from ESPN3. I also can pick...

    SD receiver and 110w

    I'm helping a buddy set up a 3-LNB dish at his seasonal camp. He has an older SD Directv receiver (circa 2007). We get about 93% signal strength on 101W and about 83% on 119W. But 110W has 0% signal. Is that correct for a non-HD receiver? LyngSat shows one transponder still active on 110W...

    Mounting Dish on PT post

    My son has his EA 1000.4 dish mounted on a Pressure Treated post on the side of his front lawn. Three times now it has moved out of position to the extent that he has lost all signals. The elevation is not changing, it is only the azimuth. Each time I have been able to repoint the dish by...

    H & V transponders and Skew

    After placing my Primestar dish on a new pole I think am getting duplicate channels from vertical transponders showing up as both H & V signals. For example on AMC- 6 Ku, I get 2 sets of the NBC MUX channels. One set identified as 12053V and one set identified 12053H. Not sure of I am still...

    Please add Significantly Viewed Stations Now

    Starting yet another SV thread for you all to add your own SV wishes. Dish Network does monitor this forum. It was suggested to me by someone connected with Dish that the more voices heard, the more likely those in control of local programming will take notice. It has been a year since the...

    HDMI Switches that work with an HR20?

    There seems to be a history of HDMI switches not working with the HR20. That is the case with the HDMI switch that my neighbor bought. He has an IOGear 1:3 switch w/remote connecting his HR20 on port 1 and his BluRay player on port 2. The BluRay works great with the switch on port 2. The...

    No delay in switching channels?

    Twice in recent weeks I have seen an advertisement bragging that with Dish receivers there is no lag in switching channels. The ad compares Dish to Directv and Digital Cable saying those two have a delay when switching channels while Dish receivers change stations instantly...they say "Snap...

    VIP OTA Tuner comparisons

    Overall the OTA tuner in my 411 receiver out performs the OTA tuner in my VIP222. Just going on the signal strength comparisons, station to station in some cases there are differences of up to 4 numbers between the two. But it is not consistent. Although a few stations come in stronger on the...

    VIP OTA tuner module improvement?

    It amazes me that Echostar can build such a great OTA tuner for the DTV Pal and yet still have such a poor performer in the new VIP *k models. I had hoped the new VIP *k OTA modules would be an improvement over the built-ins that the older VIP receivers have, but apparently they are a step...

    No room for more HD Locals by 2013?

    With it's current HD locals numbering system, Dish has boxed itself in to 6 local HD stations per DMA. DirecTV already has several markets with 7 broadcast networks in HD (for example NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC each have the big 4 plus CW, MNTV & PBS). What is Dish going to do when...

    No ION 280 on TV2

    The New ION channel 280 shows up in the EPG of my VIP222 on TV1 but does not show up on TV2. It is missing on both the 'All Channel' and 'All Sub' guides. If I try to manually tune to 280 on TV2, the receiver flips to 273. The old ION 181 still works on TV2 but of course the EPG info is...
