    I have a Dish 20.0 IR remote that has lost TV programming and will not reprogram. All satellite functions are working, but no TV controls work. I press the TV button until all the LEDs flash.

    Sunday night, April 28th, Dish ran Showtime's two shows, Nurse Jackie and The Borgias. Both were reruns of Episode 3. All time slots ran the third episode instead of the fourth even though the on-air guide said "new" as did the online TV guides. Episode 4 of each show seems to be available for...

    VIP 222K and External Hard Drive

    I am confused. The My Equipment page at the Dish site says you can't use an EHD on the VIP222k. The manual that comes with it says you can. I enabled the external device in the receiver setup. I contacted Dish support and asked for external device recording to be enabled. I was told it was...

    NBC Windowed?

    It's Sunday morning and I'm watching Meet the Press on the New York City NBC local. It's in a window, with black borders on all 4 sides of the picture. Cut-aways to commercials and promos remain windowed. All other stations are full screen. It's probably a case of the weekend crew at WNBC...
