    East Coast (NC) signal strength question DISH vs Directv

    I am in NC and used to have DISH and now have Directv. I have had a lot better signal and less rain fade with Directv. I am now coveting the hopper \ joey setup at DISH but have loved the rock solid signal I have had since leaving DISH. I am not sure if I have trees in the distance that...

    I need "Search Help"

    Is there a way to search for 2 words in the guide that don't follow one another? Say I want to search for "Seinfeld" and "soup" to find the episode about the Soup Nazi. Am I overlooking the "&" button on the remote or something as simple? Help appreciated.

    MRV broke on 1 of 2 HR22's

    Ok got the latest CE on Friday night. Now one of my HR22's stopped seeing the other with MRV. Upstairs sees Downstairs and can play content. Downstairs goes straight to its own playlist. mrvclienton entered on both boxes and *edgecutter* entered so I see MRV is set to On in both menus. I...

    Help with remote and new soundbar.

    Just got a Yamaha YSP-900 Soundbar for the bedroom, but can't find a code for the D* remote (RC64R) that will work. Anyone get their D* remote working with it? I am not apposed to buying the latest D* remote if there is a newer one, but don't need or want a harmony or any other remote that is...

    My DISH ex-brothers, get Engadget-HD involved with Charlie's broken promise.

    If DISH doesn't get your Viacom stations up this week, Engadget-HD may get more attention on what was said and actually delivered by Charlie on the last Charlie Chat. They have more eyeballs and a broader audience so if nothing else it may make DISH come out with a statement. As far as I know...

    Lazy installer: Need info before reschedule

    I had an installer come yesterday to do my 2 room install. I currently have DISH but only in one of the rooms. I also have my current dish on the back of the roof of a 2 story town home. First thing he said is he couldn't put D*'s dish up there beside the other one because it was too big and...

    My last UFC Fight Night in SD!!!!

    Maybe this is like washing your car then it rains. I hope they add it tomorrow for those patiently waiting for DISH to add something. I wanted to give all those DISH faithful a chance to wish me luck with Directv. Anyone else, FYI: DISH is not cheaper (at least for me). I am getting 2 HR23's...

    Signing up: Discounts= AAA, D* Referal, ???

    Sorry if I overlooked a recent thread covering this (went back a few pages, but didn't see one). I am leaving DISH (TOP 250 + Gold HD) and making the DirecTv leap. I am a AAA member and have a friends referal #. What is the best deal I can get now and is there anything else that I should ask...

    922's Remote will never make it to market.

    Can you imagine watching CNN and deciding to see what games are on ESPN for the next few hours? Now: I hit guide, 140, then right. With the 922: I hit guide, then the button to pull up the on screen numbers and letters, move my thumb to make the pointer go to 1, then 4, then 0, then I am...

    It's February, is it time to switch?

    Let me first say I like the DISH guide and the familiar feel now since I have had it forever. I also have a couple of extra RF remotes so I am looking for any reason to stay with DISH. Yea D* may be a little more money for what is becoming more and more HD, but it will also be from a company...

    D*'s VOD is Awsome!! 100s of FREE hours, Why not E*?

    I was very impressed with D*'s VOD this past weekend at a buddy's. 4 or 5 kids channels as to save space on the DVR, lots of the Discovery, HGTV, etc series to easily get caught up. E* where are you?

    Spike-hd

    DISH's timing has always sucked ex. SciFi-HD being added after BSG season started. So my guess is we will get SPIKE-HD next week after the TUF finale Saturday. But more than likely they won't add it until after the Fight Night on 7/19 that the UFC is throwing together to counter the Fedor vs...

    Can mpeg4 increase signal strength?

    We all know mpeg4 can give the same quality of mpeg2 with a lot less bandwidth. And we know mpeg4 can give a lot better quality using the equivalent bandwidth of mpeg2. But my question is can mpeg4's bandwidth savings translate to less outages due to rain fade and the like? Can DISH add more...

    D* beating E* to remote scheduling

    What has happened to DISH? If you are going to let D* beat you at HD, you can't let them beat you at STB features too. This isn't a "I am going to leave DISH" post, just a "I am disappointed" post. :(

    Local channels not mapping down.

    Everything is setup and working; the "locals" in my new city are coming in fine. I am just not getting them mapped down to their "local channel numbers". All other map downs (A&E, ESPN, etc.) are mapped down. Are map downs configurable now? I can't find the settings for it like I once could...

    I really Moved

    My question is: I moved from out of state and set up a "dish mover" (for free) appointment. Will DISH supply a new dish and LNBs to get me all setup or was I supposed to bring all that with me? I guess I'll find out Wed but would like the heads up.
