    ESPN GamePlan for 1 week only?

    Can I order GamePlan just for one week? Ohio State plays Toledo next week and it is only offered on ESPN360 and GamePlan, and I really don't want to watch it on 360. I checked my account and it didn't have an offer to purchase 1 week, just the whole year.

    Am I paying too much?

    I noticed some of the new Dish promotions are substantially cheaper than what I am now paying and am wondering if I should call and ask for a better deal. I am currently out of contract and just got done fighting a major battle to get my service back up after 2 installers couldn't get the 129...

    129 Trouble

    Here's the situation: I have Dish 1000/VIP 622. All was fine, one day 119/110 stopped coming in, 129 channels were fine with decent signal strength. Called Dish, they sent tech who replaced 119/110 LNB on Dish 1000. After that, 119/110 were fine, but 129 was out. They said that 129 was...

    622 Ethernet - What time of day does it "phone home"?

    I have canceled my landline phone service since we never use it and want to switch my 622 over to an ethernet connection to avoid the $5 per month fee.

    119 Channels - Fine on Tuner 2, Freezing on Tuner 1

    Here's my issue on a 622 w/ a Dish 500: The video & audio on channels on 119 are digitizing and freezing up completely. 110 & 129 channels are fine. Check switch shows fine. Point dish does not show any issues with signal (even or odd transponders), although some transponders will drop...

    622 - Issues with volume of voices on HD Channels (music/background volume fine)

    I have been having an intermittent problem with voices on HD channels. Previously, it was limited to sports events, in which the volume of the announcers was either low or non-existent. I could however hear the crowd noise and other noise from the event (sound of the golf ball getting hit...

    Combining TV2 with OTA Signal - diplexors required?

    I have a 622, and want to try combine an OTA signal with the feed I have running to my TV2. Do I need diplexors to do this, or can I use a standard splitter backwards to combine the two? At the TV2, I want to split it back out to feed TV2's HD Tuner. Are there any signal quality...

    Split before the pre-amp, or after?

    I am looking to split my antenna feed near the antenna (in my attic), and need some input: I have a CM 7777 pre-amp - should I split the signal BEFORE the pre-amp, or should I split the output of the pre-amp (in between the pre-amp and the power source)? Those are the only two options...

    CM 4228 Mounted Sideways?

    I am thinking of buying a CM 4228 for an attic mount, but due to low clearance, it might have to be setup sideways. By sideways, I mean, positioning it so that the side that would normally be on top would be moved 90 degrees in one direction. I would still face the antenna toward the...

    RCA L32WD12 - Setup Menu appears every time I turn it on

    Rca L32wd12 I recently bought an RCA 32" LCD, model L32WD12. After initially turning it on, I went the setup where I selected English as the language, and setup the channels. Since I have this TV setup as TV2 on a Dish 622, I only needed channel 72 in the list. Autodetection did not...

    I am going to order Dish very soon and I'm trying to figure out how much wiring work will be needed. I want to get the new 622 tuner, and use the dual-tuner feature to record while watching a different channel live. My understanding is that this requires inputs to both of the tuners in the...
