    Is local channels required now?

    So I suppose there is no way to get around this? It sucks that I have to pay $5 for something I get free. Thanks

    Is local channels required now?

    Sorry if this is a repeat question, but my searches weren't successful. I've been getting local channels thru my rooftop antenna all this time and avoiding the $5 charge. Looks like when I tried to sign up for the free HD promo, local channels are required now. Is there any way to get around...

    Password protect recordings

    Here's what I want to do: I have a 622, where I use the content rating system lock to have a password for the progrmas which have "Nudity" in them. Eventually something that I record will obviously have nudity in it, and to play it on my 1st TV, i get asked for the password. But on the 2nd TV...

    Local Commercials, How do they do that?

    I've seen it too NO, I don't think the original poster is mistaken. I've seen it too, but I think I saw it on CNN instead of MSNBC. I'm in NY and have seen local ads on cnn or msnbc.

    cost of adding additional receiver

    I currently have a 622 installed. I would like to add another HD receiver, either a 211 or 622, whichever one is cheaper. Can someone let me know what the total costs would be with either of these receivers - installation + monthly charge. Thanks in advance.

    Can I get these channels using FTA?

    First off - I'm a total noob to FTA. Currently I subscribe to DISH and get international channels Surya and Kairali. I think dish charges way too much for these channels. I'm paying $274.89 annually for both these channels. Is there any way I can receive these channels using FTA? Both...

    Dish 1000/Voom HD

    Well I have the AT120 pack, the Dish HD channels, and two international channels that come off 121. I do not subscribe to locals. On my 811 screen, it says that I'm connected to 119, 110, 121 I don't think they setup the superdish properly when they installed it. I told the installers to...

    Dish 811 + Harmony880 remote???

    I have it working with a 688. I think you have to make the receiver default to channel 1 on the 811. (it tells you when you go thru the setup menu)

    problem getting certain channels

    No it seems to happen for odd and even transponders. I dunno if it's loose, it's possible, it's on the roof. I'm having dish come and take a look at it, they are charing me 49.99, is that normal? On a side note, one of my 811's still doesn't have the new software despite the option being...
